With mice I long ago just switched to bluetooth mice. A bit more expensive but never a problem with linux and it co-exists better with WiFi. And in...

i run arch+e on my s9 laptop. zero heat problems. cpufreq of course is set to ondemand. intel gfx. i7 cpu. screen dims nicely on idle and fades out...

i'm wondering how it never worked? every machine i have has it working. wifi, wired, hell if u plug in my phone for tethering it "just works" via...

Doesn't change the fact that they still sell overpriced hardware that doesn't last.

If Linux devs asked money for each copy then - if it had still managed to become worth it without the community - we'd all be paying for it. Copying...

If the marketting is to be believed, the next gen Atoms are supposed to use Haswell as their base (or at least that WAS the plan) and that those...

in case of random filled file it would be better for brtfs WITHOUT compression! purely random data cannot be compressed.

I'm curious; is the power consumption on Haswell really that amazing that it can be called 'close to ARM levels'? For comparison's sake, my...

Are they -really- beating Intel on the value end of the spectrum though? Core i5 Haswell is gonna have MORE than adequate graphics for anything up to...

Not possible. Even though AMD hardware is really unspectacular they beat Intel hands down in the performance-cost ratio. Intel can play the price...

Just to note, I have been using btrfs as an alternate backup for my core system (about 80g) for over a year. I rsync to the partition and snapshot...

Unfortunately you never know whether some Steam release has DRM or not (i.e. requiring you to run the Steam client in order to run the game)....

I don't THINK AMD is gonna be in business within the next 5 years. And while I realize that does not exactly answer your question, in a way it does.

A dependency resolver is very much a core component and you can't just swap one with another and really expect it to work and that is why a...

They would be better off just dropping yum and adopting zypper and libzypp.

I've been back on btrfs since the 3.8 Kernel, and don't think I'll be switching to anything else. It's fairly quick with the recent updates, and I...

The work required to bump i915 classic to 2.1 was minimal - probably an hour or so - and makes the driver a lot more useful. At this point, we're...

How to get a next generation YUM in minutes: 1.) Fork zypper (front-end only, not libzypp) 2.) Change the zypper commands to match YUM 3.) Change...

Yeah, pretty much. I'd need to run a few more benchmarks on both Windows 8 and Linux and make sure settings were exactly the same, but I don't expect...

Do you think that they will actually submit such code with them shutting down their OSRC and laying off their developers responsible for their...

I noticed the other day that there was a Tux-logo on the side of the Logitech B110 box. Granted that is the most generic mouse and just uses the...

Some of there mice actually has a Tux on the side of the box next to the Windows and Mac logo. I also found that the for about 40 mice (color...

I don't get Intel’s total refusal to support Gallium3D. I understand that if there is a fine working classic driver for older hardware, the GPU...

dnf is just a prototype and the plan is for this to literally become the new yum so you wouldn't really notice that it has been replaced. dnf syncs...

Bash completion should take minutes to fix if it's CLI compatible with yum. Copy the completion script and s/yum/dnf/g.

Not really sure if Yum needs a replacement as much as configured differently upon default installation. The slowest part is that it doesn't use a...

A lot of people worry about compression and the latency or CPU load that might come with it. However, one of the most CPU intensive workloads that I...
