DRM = Direct Render Manager

I had no idea, was confused, and the article never de-acronyms/initialisms the term

[–] Artyom@lemm.ee 30 points 9 months ago

Not to be confused with Digital Rights Management, another far more widely used DRM acronym. No worries, it's not like that's confusing or anything.

@towerful Thanks. I was wondering why there was a "panic" mode for digital rights management in the kernel.

My personal frustration is that even though I know it doesn't mean Digital Rights Management in this context, I can never remember what it does stand for.
