Hey just wanted to give you a heads up on something that was shared to me by the folks over at Adeline’s project as they have full acceleration without the need for software rendering…. https://cgit.adelielinux.org/packages/tree/user/qt5-qtdeclarative/endian.patch

attached are the lines they patched to render kde differently then normal.

The patch is is already with qt5-declarative in Arch POWER. And it indeed does disable QtQuick acceleration. For Qt6 a similar patch also needed adding and has been already.

Hardware acceleration in QtQuick has been broken on big endian for a very long time (starting with 5.x I believe). The mentioned patch as well as the ones included in Arch POWER, set rendering to software only on big median.
