OpenMandriva Lx 4.3 RC - Linux 5.12.4, Plasma desktop 5.21.5, Qt 5.15.3

OpenMandriva Lx 4.3 RC. Major updates:

Linux Kernel 5.12.4
LLVM 12 - We upgraded our main tool chain to LLVM 12 and rebuilt the entire system with the new compiler; should slightly improve the overall performance of
systemd-248.20210517, which should solve the host name troubleshooting issues that some people have noticed in 4.2
KDE Plasma Desktop 5.21.5
KDE Frameworks 5.82.0
KDE Gear 21.04.1
Qt 5.15.3 with all patches proposed by KDE
Mesa 21.1.1
FFMPEG at 4.4

Another interesting feature is the full integration for the new JPEG-XL image file format. JPEG-XL which is significantly more efficient than traditional JPEG and also adds all the major features of PNG (such as transparent images and lossless compression support).

Also updated in warehouses:

- AMDVLK 2021.Q2.1 - AMD Vulkan official driver. It is an alternative driver and can be installed at the same time as RADV. Can be used to improve performance or stability in some Linux games
- OBS -Studio 27.0.0 rc1 - application for recording and streaming; finally holds the wayland session. It also accepts h264 recording with VAAPI (hardware accelerated video encoding) and I corrected it to support HEVC -x265 with HW VAAPI
- Blender 2.92.0
- GIMP 2.10.24
- Audacity 3.0.2
- Firefox 88.0
- Steam 1.0 .0.70
- LXQt 0.17

The port to the PinePhone is also starting to get useful: phone calls are working and the camera app has been rewritten to be much more useful.

The recommended command for updating the Rolling system is:

$ sudo dnf clean all; sudo dnf --allowerasing distro-sync
