Description

The Linux graphics stack is amazing, but it presents some difficulties for downstream distributions. Many of these are related to security, as downstream distros want to know when there is a vulnerability that affects them so they can prioritize fixes. A better security process for open source graphics, including both kernel (drm) and userspace (mesa), would be a significant help here. Others include knowing which GPUs are still supported, problems with patent-encumbered media codec, and being able to help users who cannot run drm-tip or other development branches.
