Hi all,
I recently discovered[1] that a bunch of issues on POWER9 go away if I
use a 4k page size. Examples:
- Nouveau works with 4k, not with 64k
- WebRTC in Firefox wasn't working consistently with 64k, does work
consistently with 4k
- btrfs, which will be Fedora's default filesystem from Fedora 33, is
constrained by page size. btrfs filesystems can only be used on systems
with the same page size as the system where the filesystem was created
with mkfs
These issues are probably more relevant for users of workstations, such
as the Talos II and Blackbird from Raptor.
I looked in the kernel configs[2] and I noticed you only do a build with
64k enabled. Would you be willing to support an additional build with
4k, e.g.
CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES=n
Thanks for your efforts supporting ppc64
Regards,
Daniel

Hello Dan,
since Gradio (I can't listen to radio stations anymore) has been
discontinued I would like to suggest Shortwave as a replacement:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Shortwave
I tried to compile it myself, but unfortunately I get this error:

sqlite-3.33.0-1.fc32.ppc64le is already installed.
