It’s not merged, but the benchmarks are against upstream wine. Proton has hacks (fsync) that have almost identical performance uplift but were not suited to upstreaming.
So basically this will improve “correctness” versus current Proton, not performance. Should fix some bugs and improve compatibility.
Versus stock wine, it’s a huge perf uplift though.
article from February, anybody got benchmarks? pretty sure this is long since merged and working iirc
It is merged in 6.10 which is about to be released on Sunday (14 July)
Only thing I can find is this OS News article saying it should be in the 6.10 kernel
I can not find any confirmation that it is.
That quote actually links to a really good article: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-6.10-Merging-NTSYNC
oh that makes more sense, for some reason I thought it was in 6.9 already
It’s actually being pushed as “broken” for 6.10 but should hopefully be completely available in 6.11.
If you had read it you’d have answers to your questions.
They are trying to merge it in 6.11 bit has to go through Greg and Torvalds himself. The benchmarks, once again, speed-reader, are on the article.
No need to be rude.
It seems to me that Mactan was hoping for some independent recent benchmarks.
