  • How to Install OpenCL for Intel GPU on Fedora 40+

    How to Install OpenCL for Intel GPU on Fedora 40+

    OpenCL is an open-source library for running compute tasks on GPUs. OpenCL enables 3D hardware acceleration for supported applications (i.e. LibreOffice) using the GPU hardware (i.e. Intel iGPU) you have installed on your computer. So, unless OpenCL is installed, OpenCL-supported applications (i.e. LibreOffice) will not have hardware acceleration enabled and may not perform well (i.e. UI might be laggy) as a result. So, it’s a good idea to install OpenCL on your newly installed Fedora 40 (or later)...

Examples of such databases are MySQL. However, non-relational databases store data in other formats, such as graphs, documents, etc., and a good example is MongoDB.

  • Providing a license for package sources
    by Kasimba
    Arch Linux hasn't had a license for any package sources (such as PKGBUILD files) in the past, which is potentially problematic. Providing a license will preempt that uncertainty.

    In RFC 40 we agreed to change all package sources to be licensed under the very liberal 0BSD license. This change will not limit what you can do with package sources. Check out the RFC for more on the rationale and prior discussion.

    Before we make this change, we will provide contributors with...
