I'm incredible happy that we finally landed YUV support for #gnome45. It'll allow us to make video players much more efficient in many cases (like #embeddedlinux or #LinuxMobile, but also regular laptops/desktops) and especially make developing such features more pleasant on the desktop. I'll write more in detail about it soon.
Thanks goes to @collabora for allowing me to work on it during my work hours and to @jadahl and some other #RedHat devs for helping pushing it over the line!
@rmader @jadahl This is wonderful news! I have been watching this MR for many months 🤩️.
I always did have one question in my head while watching this MR. If Collabora is heavily invested in Weston as its preferred Wayland Compositor for embedded linux usecases, why were they ok with you using work hours for adding a feature to Mutter?
@rmader @collabora Ah, I understand. Thank you so much for taking the time to explain!
@adilarif Many devs working at @collabora (as well as costumers of course) use #gnome. So the hope is that this will indirectly benefit Col. by strengthening the ecosystem.
