--- Comment #10 from Luboš Luňák <l.lunak at collabora.com> ---
The UI (with the followup commit in gerrit) reflects how the settings work
internally. Skia can be disabled or enabled, and if enabled, it can be forced
to non-GPU mode. And from non-expert user's point of view it also allows
troubleshooting in two relatively easy steps, either GPU is problematic, or
Skia as a whole is problematic, and so the two checkboxes allow turning those
two off.

Your proposal in principle does with 3 radiobuttons the same as two checkboxes
do, so it would do as well. The main reason I don't want to do it that way is
that I do not want to spend the time redoing the UI and adding code to map the
3 setting to 2 options, but I don't particularly care otherwise. But even then
it would need some rewording (IMO normal user shouldn't need to care about
things like 'Vulkan 3D', and 'Skia disabled/enabled' is not 'acceleration
none/medium' but simply two different code paths using different graphics API).
