I want to clarify the directions the GNOME project is taking, and to explain the rationale for various decisions. My end goal is to make people understand the project better, and trust it again.

Can someone briefly explain, to someone only vaguely familiar with LLVM/Clang, what this means? As I understand, OpenMP is an API with libraries supporting various languages (C, FORTRAN, etc). When...

They definitely seem to be pushing towards becoming their own self-branded operating system. I'm thinking they aim to become something along the lines of Android minus the upstream contributions...

Yesterday, grege posted to a thread a list of Gnome Shell extensions that make the overall environment resemble Gnome 2.x. As someone who no longer uses Gnome Shell I found that pretty interesting...

GNOME is losing market and mind-share.

There's an important lesson to be learned here. When you annoy a significant portion of your technical user base, you will lose those users as they find...

So it's pretty much the same old story: despite all the effort spent tweaking the OSS drivers, they're still running at a tiny fraction of the speed of the closed-source binary blobs. Other than...

Hi all. I recently replaced my machine's AGP nVidia Quadro FX 1000 with a Sapphire HD3650 (R600 I think?) and I was surprised and disappointed that 2D performance has decreased noticeably. I'm...

Actually, I haven't tried them lately. When I initially installed Fedora 11 on this machine (a Thinkpad T400), I swapped between the ATI proprietary drivers and the F11's OSS drivers a couple times...

Hi. I have two Fedora machines and one of them is experiencing some oddness running Google Sketchup 7 under Wine. Whenever the mouse pointer is positioned over the work area on the one machine, it...
