With btrfs in active development, you need to be running a leading edge (right now, 3.9.0-rc8) kernel, or patch with the latest btrfs-next and btrfs-progs. A number of the problems they report sound...

Make sure you're using the latest kernel (3.9.0-rc3) and btrfs-tools. I've been using btrfs on 2 desktops, a laptop, and a server for 9 months now. The only issue was a bug in the 3.8 series that...

Since btrfs and xfs include additional functionality, shouldn't ext4 be tested configured with LVM2 and mdraid to compare equivalents?

Most systems are x86_64 now aren't they? When I go to install on Fedora 18, it wants to pull in a crapload of i686 software and libraries. It would be nice if they compiled it for native x86_64.

I got tired of all the functionality - and productivity - being drained from GNOME. After using GNOME exclusively for as long as it has existed, I switched all our machines to KDE at the end of last...

People forget about GNU awk; it's a very fast scripting language. I converted a bash script that had an execution time of 30 seconds to awk, and the new version executed in 0.1 seconds. It's also...

It tends to be model specific. The new cards tend to be problematic for all vendors, while the two to three generation old cards tend to work. There are always exceptions, and checking the support...

I just removed the last Nvidia card from my systems; now running ATI and Intel with Fedora 17 out-of-the-box drivers. I get flawless 1080p video, 3D desktop and adequate light gaming. When Nvidia...

There are two common issues that have been hanging around for a long time:

1. Nouveau doesn't sync to vblank when using a compositing window manager, causing tearing.
2. The Realtek r8169 driver...

I haven't used Compiz since Gnome-3 in Fedora 16's beta. Just the other day, I switched from gnome-shell to fallback mode, so that I could use the nouveau driver without video tearing. It makes...

There's a difference between supported and usable. The 4500HD was supported, not usable at introduction. Are you saying that Ivy Bridge and subsequent GPUs are expected to be fully usable at...

Background: Intel seems to introduce video products before stable support is available. I got caught in that with 4500HD, which had great reviews (even here on Phoronix), but was actually too...

Does this mean that nouveau will finally stop tearing on video playback under a compositing window manager (gnome-shell)?

Without a working btrfsck, all the patches in the world won't convince me to put any data into a btrfs filesystem. I've been familiarizing myself with btrfs in a virtual system, and it's great. I...

"...for those using the proprietary graphics drivers... you may be stuck waiting a couple of months for support."

Yeah, because all the X development happens behind closed doors, so there's no...

I like the graphics, and the game play seems interesting in videos. My problem is that I usually last about 10 seconds before I'm killed - even on the easiest level, and that makes it not fun. It's...

Nvidia: We have no plans to support Optimus on Linux at this time.

Every single video player on Linux already plays Adobe Flash videos an order of magnitude better than Adobe's plugin.

Apparently, everyone else can figure it out, except Adobe. Oh, and the code...

I'd like the development groups and distributions to deploy stable code incrementally, to avoid the video fiasco that happened at the end of 2008 through most of 2009.

Creating unstable code for...

I guess I need a disclaimer: This discussion is "Questions for Nvidia regarding Linux". The question is asked in that framework. Nvidia, AMD and Intel are large corporations with multiple lines of...
