Most of the lowercase abbreviations are just the names of device drivers or platforms. VK is just Vulkan, GL is OpenGL, ARB is "Architecture Review Board" as its sort of a preview or extension feature I think. EXT presumably for extension. KHR is Khronos, the organization that creates the Vulkan and OpenGL standards, and the acronym apparently means it's "Khronos-approved". https://registry.khronos.org/vulkan/specs/1.1-extensions/html/vkspec.html#extensions

I wish there was something nice like that too.

In the server world that would usually involve doing something like sending the journal data to Elasticsearch using an Elasticsearch integration. But that involves setting up an Elasticsearch server and Kibana and so on which is very unwieldy for a desktop computer. It does work pretty well though in terms of filtering. But it also stores the data internally in indexes to speed up search.

Of course journald has a seemingly simple C API but writing code is a lot of work. There are probably API bindings for various languages.

I also don't know if there's any Linux program that will automatically do the configuration for you.

It seems like it would be pretty complex since I guess you need to disable the linux host from using the GPU, and do PCI passthrough in a VM that has Windows installed.

And there's still the problem of the graphics needing to move around the system in order to get to the display instead of the display being directly connected to the GPU.

Seems like a pretty cool thing that would be neat to have a nice automated GUI solution for.

I was just looking at, seems like it's difficult but not impossible https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTWf5D092VY

I'm in the same boat that it seems too difficult (and I bet the performance still isn't near native).

I just dual boot and boot into Windows if I'm going to play a game.

For images, you can use a photo library application like digikam and set tags on the files, which are saved both to a relational database and to the photo metadata inside the image file. For other file types I don't think there's anything standard.

I think it might store tags in linux file system xattrs so other software (or scripts) could access and index it.

I guess it switched desktop environments on you? If you're logged out there's supposed to be a way you can switch between desktop environments. It makes sense that the GNOME Settings app would only change wallpaper settings for GNOME, which I think is the main Ubuntu desktop environment. Are you sure you didn't upgrade to a version of Ubuntu that uses XFCE instead of GNOME?

The S3 "sleep state" of the computer. Which I guess is sleep. There sre other numbers for running and off I think.

You have to expand the image to its full size. Thumbnail images are downscaled so they use less data.

Passkeys support (for desktop browsers)! And it's already in Flathub as of 3 hourss ago.

I'm not any more knowledgeable about this stuff than you :(, I just got an AX210 for my laptop the other day, but I don't have a 6 GHz capable router.

It feels like it's some kind of power saving feature or something like that. Do you actually get any faster speeds on 6 GHz?

You could try seeing if you have some kind of "roaming" or "mesh" option in your router settings. There's a feature that's supposed to have the router kick devices off of a connection if it thinks there's a better one in the same mesh network. Not sure if it has any applicability to different frequencies on the same access point. Probably a dead end but you could look into it.

If it's a fully featured router there should be tons of random options to change the power usage of the router's wifi radios and all sorts of other stuff like that. At least on my old Asus router there were tons of options like that.

If you can set them up with the same SSID that would be better.

Wi-Fi has all sorts of variables at play.
