Thanks for the suggestion! I would not want to force this on users but the repository could be made optional via our first-time setup if we can work out the conflicts. I am skeptical if it is worth it. winesapOS enables legacy hardware to function through things such as supporting legacy BIOS boot and supporting Vulkan on old AMD and Intel GPUs. A recent Phoronix article showed benchmarks for x86_64-v3 packages and this was the conclusion: the performance benefit is small in most cases and really only helps a small amount of software. "The Ubuntu x86-64-v3 performance benefits overall were typically small but consistent. In some workloads the x86-64-v3 applications obtained from the archive could be a great deal faster but ultimately it comes down to a subset of software that will really benefit." https://www.phoronix.com/review/ubuntu-x86-64-v3-benchmark/4 There are some odd things such as recent hybrid Intel CPUs that use performance and efficiency cores where the efficiency cores are based on old architectures that they do not support the modern -v3 and -v4 features. A workaround could be to disable efficiency cores but that does not seem ideal. |

I tried to use these on my steam deck, but broke some stuff resolving conflicts with plasma-desktop. I wonder how much better things might perform if, for example, a CPU with AVX-512 capabilities was running with the v4 targeted features.
I suppose I could just try to integrate this, and test that.
