    DRM = Direct Render Manager

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

      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.

      Ha, thank you. I clicked through two of the links to get context and none of them defined “DRM” and was like “I guess…everyone else knows what this means?”

      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.
