WR-Linux
Notes from WR Linux meeting - July 21 Attendees: Nical, Aosmond, JeffM, JessieB
- Jessie will submit a PI request for 81 so that QA can start looking at WR on Linux
- Currently we have a 10% regression on power usage with video playback
- The recommendation is to not use partial present on GLX as it doesn't work well, high chance for screen tears. Wait for EGL
- This regression is so far acceptable to the team - small percentage of users, and there is a better story in the future.
- Andrew will do a test with his ATI card to see how power usage looks there and also compare with Chrome
- I will add this to our list of things to keep an eye on for go-no-go decisions for Linux
- This bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1647035 is on our radar as possibly concerning
- Probably fine to ride to beta, but should see if we can repro/fix before shipping to release
- Jessie will flag for QA to see if they can reproduce
