It looks to me like a very intelligently written post, by someone who works in Valve. I'm no expert, but I believe it to be the truth. And the fact that every time I install a game on Steam with...

Man, I love reinstalling .NET and the C++ runtime thing every time I install a new game on Steam on Windows.

Static libraries suck.



Well done, this is possibly the stupidest post I've ever...

Is that the same 'acceptable performance' as that of the Software Centre?

Agreed, whichever 14 year-old in a man's body named GIMP needs a good kicking.

I've done quite a few (maybe a dozen or so) Gentoo installs. And no, I've never used one for any length of time. Configuring Grub has presented problems a few times. Getting a GUI has caused...

How come we've never seen open GPU hardware? I understand that it wouldn't be easy, but is it at all feasable? Nvidia, ATI and the various SOC vendors offer poor OSS support, Intel is underpowered,...

I'm not an expert, but wouldn't Arch be the perfect distro for someone doing so many reinstalls? You could just script the install procedure, especially now it doesn't have that menu setup that they...

As an owner of a 6870 (on the desktop), I really can't muster the enthusiasm to care about the discrepancies.

So if I played Doom 3 (which I won't until it comes to Steam), I get highly playable...

Canonical must be disappointed, they'll have no code to steal yet to implement these features.

Can someone a bit more knowledgeable than me clarify what this means please.

Does this mean that I can compile a kernel image from the same source code for both say a desktop x86 machine and one...

Canonical using other people's code. Colour me shocked.

Surely it wouldn't cost too much to replace that card with one with similar performance and which does support the open source driver. It's not exactly a high-performance card.

I find it surprising that people are so vitriolic about DEs. Surely people are entitled to their opinions, and this is a fairly reasonable place to voice them, and maybe generate some debate. But...

If I were a voluntary contributor to an Ubuntu project, I'd be jumping ship right about now.

The ability to develop his own libraries suggests a fair amount of intelligence.

Sticking by...

I know they won't care about losing me. They don't care about any of their users, just their misguided agenda.

Last week I was fairly tolerant to Ubuntu, but I'm not sure how they could have had a worse PR week. Part of my weekend will be spent uninstalling that travesty from my netbook. I want...

I'm not entirely sure about the politics and technicalities of it, but if I were Mint dev I'd think about migrating to becoming a derivative of Debian, instead of the increasingly bizarre and...

A well thought out and convincing article. The message that I took from it is that Mir is going to fall on it's face...thankfully.

When I read all the Mir articles, my worry was that the only way...

So, correct me if I'm wrong, now the Mesa devs have to sift through 8 months worth of work because Canonical did this behind closed doors and now decide to dump the lot into Mesa? What are the...
