perf would be bad without hw accel though? What laptop is this?

MacBookPro8,1 with i5-2435M
It works well, havent tested it much yet. Seems like cpu usage spikes every 30 seconds or so and fans ramp up a bit. Nothing crazy yet.
I think vilkan is not supported on this computer, and opengl is not working for me. Will look into why now.
sent from notedeck ;)
actually my opengl works. tested just now. however, forcing opengl on otedeck isnt working. I get - DEBUG wgpu_core::instance: Instance::new: failed to create Gl backend: InstanceError { message: "unable to create GLES 3.x context", source: Some(BadMatch) }
linux on macbook is a weird setup. I don't see any issues on the wgpu repo...
Weird setup for a weird guy. I like how solid these old macbooks are, and they are cheap (this one was $40 CAD like new from a school) Linux makes it useable and up to date, software wise.
I dont expect anthing to "just work" on it, but its been pretty decent.
Anyway, I just installed notedeck on my Linux desktop. Works great!
