My #gnomeshell Mutter MR to support scaling and cropping via KMS landed in time for #gnome46

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/3177

I'm really happy about this one because it should improve things for multiple use-cases:

1. It allows full hardware offloading of fullscreen video playback for cases when the video dimensions don't perfectly match the screen, i.e. up- or downscaling. There are not many clients supporting this yet - but hopefully we'll see more soon, especially #gtk ones.

Short 🧵
