Here are some answers to your posts, folks:

Intel QuickAssist Technology QAT_4xxx for accelerating crypto and compression workloads. Firmware module is looking for is qat_4xxx.bin and qat_4xxx_mmp.bin

Firmware file has not been released yet even though the driver for those devices has been added to the kernel. It just means that the driver will fail and the device will simply not work (same as kernel 5.10 where no driver was available) or you don’t have the hardware to begin with?

Unless you have a Renesas USB controller, it can safely be ignored.

We removed linux59 now completely from our repos. Simply do a sudo mhwd-kernel -r linux59. Make sure you had another kernel installed before.

Seems upstream restricts some dependency. Does this help when compiling the package?

sed -i 's/decorator<5/decorator/' setup.py

I assume you use DKMS for your own modules. You have to install the headers package also.

No, as we removed it.

We had a long discussion about how we design Pamac and make it mobile friendly. This was the result, which worked best on small screens, like the Pinephone also. Since Pamac is designed for Gnome, we mostly follow their UI guidelines. Also we are working on porting Pamac to GTK4. If you have improvement ideas, don’t hesitate to share it on our bug-tracker, as most of these comments in our forums might be not read, as we don’t have time to search for them in all those threads.

Hmm, did you shared your issue with Nvidia yet? I got reports that some issues are solved with 465 series and others have different issues if we keep 460 in our repos.
