Flux Linux v1.4 Release Notes

1. Advanced GPU Acceleration (Turnip/Zink drivers)

A significant focus was placed on improving GPU acceleration, particularly for snapdragon devices:

  • Major Driver Update: Switched to lfdevs/mesa-for-android-container Turnip drivers with KGSL support, enabling compatibility with the newest Adreno 8xx GPUs.
  • Improved Exisiting Support: Updated the Turnip driver to v26.0.0 to drastically improve support for Adreno 7xx and 8xx series GPUs.
  • Hardware Acceleration fixes: Added the MESA_VK_WSI_DEBUG=sw flag for Turnip inside PRoot environments and created a /dev/dri compatibility layer for vkmark benchmarking.
  • Compositor Fixes: Disabled the XFCE4 compositor directly via xfwm4.xml to ensure Turnip compatibility and prevent visual glitches or crashes.

2. HyperOS Compatibility Enhancements

  • Implemented specific fixes for Termux X11 compatibility specifically tailored for Xiaomi's HyperOS, resolving socket access bugs and freezing issues.

3. Core Functionality & Environments

  • Root Terminal: Added support for launching a direct root terminal.
  • Development Setup Fixes: Fixed issues with Java installations inside the chroot environment and cleaned up the NodeSource repository scripts.
