Supporting GLES doesn't mean applications will use GLES. Desktop applications use GL/DX (via Wine)/Vulkan. I'm no expert in GL/GLES, but I think they're quite different standards. I can attest quite strongly that the DX-to-GL bridge done by Wine, while commendable, is not how we want to present ourselves in desktop environments. Vulkan is being pushed hard by some studios because it happens to consistently outperform DX on Windows and it's much easier to work with (sane standard). Valve is pushing Vulkan even harder, so that it can work on Linux, too. Any GL-to-GLES (or vice-versa) work will be thrown away. Moving ARMv8 towards GLES is a huge mistake, IMHO, and one which history will not be too kind to. I can almost hear Linus saying something about video quality on Arm. -- cheers, --renato _______________________________________________ linaro-dev mailing list linaro-dev@lists.linaro.org https://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-dev
