    • 💥 One UI glitches? Set `FD_DEV_FEATURES=enable_tp_ubwc_flag_hint=1` to fix rendering artifacts
    • 🚀 Upstream Mesa fixes = smoother FPS, fewer crashes, better memory handling

    ⚠️ Still using the old autotuner? Stick with v25.3.0 if you need that version — this one’s all about the Deck ID magic!

    Shoutout to Karmjit, Connor, StevenMXP & the Mesa crew — you’re keeping Turnip alive and kicking! 🙌
