Goodbye ATI

[D0pamine]

how can one kill that which does not live?

Oh common. This isn't "over dramatic". I'm just a user who expressed his frustration on a public forum meant for discussions around Linux and graphics hardware. I did nothing wrong. Take it for what it is, but don't go and apply the "overly dramatic" label on it.


Of course Gentoo is exotic. ATI chose not to support it. If Gentoo was mainstream, it would have been supported.

Sarah Palin refuses my calls and ignores love letters containing my pubic hair... I find this incredibly frustrating but i suppose frustration is part of life and maybe venting my frustrations on a public forum serves no purpose other than an anti-advertisement...

...and gentoo is definitely mainstream, its 10 years old and the gentoo community has arguably done more to further development of FLOSS than any other community. ATI may not even recognize gentoo exists but fglrx works fine on it as does the radeon driver and i don't have power or heat issues ..maybe because the fan isn't clogged with pubic hair

Maybe you should try to express yourself more clearly. I don't see what this has to do with pubic hair.

As for Gentoo, just because it's great and we love it, doesn't make it mainstream. It's nowhere to be seen here: http://distrowatch.com/dwres.php?resource=major

people care as much about my pubic hair and my dribblings regarding ms Palin as they do about your frustrations with your gpu... now if you have an insight on how to make them work better in some way I for one would be interested or even if you would like a bug confirming from your fellow users and even getting a petition together to fix said bug I would be up for that too but just to cry in public 'waaa it doesn't work!' just leaves me feeling like phoronix has turned into neowin or hardforums - a place to cry and flame

[EDIT] and yeh gentoo isn't the most popular distro but its definitely mainstream, ofcourse the most popular distro of all is one of microsofts but that doesn't make it good or even relevant

[RealNC]

I'm not crying. In the end, this thread is about me having a working NVidia card and you having just a keyboard for trolling.

Gentoo is exotic even in the context of Gentoo... your build can be very different depending on the hardware and compiler flags even with the same hardware. Such distros are known for impossible-to-reproduce bugs and crazy use cases that are impossible to recreate (not to mention, hardly worth the developers' time). That and you have noobs that use "uber compiler flags" that they claim to have 300 times the speed and 9000% win when they produce identical binaries. All of this translates to noise, and that's what RealNC was trying to get at. Don't pretend you didn't know what he was referring to and if you truly didn't catch it then you need to re-read his post a few times.

From a tester's standpoint, "Ubuntu XY.ZA" is an easier target to test for since they're using known binaries. This is why you see the bin/deb/rpm multirelease pattern...

Ahem. There, I replaced what you didn't read (and what you did in bold so it wouldn't confuse you) with Lorem Ipsum. Try again or fail. I don't care how many years you've been using it for... it doesn't change the nature of the distribution.

dude seriously, gentoo and the gentoo community are responsible for fixing more bugs than pretty much any other distro, yes you can compile things in different ways - thats how things get fixed you numpty!

Loyalty is an admirable quality but let's not get carried away. Debian underpins a *lot* of distros and they fix more bugs than all the other distros.

Where gentoo scores heavily for me is the docu. Along with arch they have raised the bar regarding user guides and stuff. A lot of people will look to arch and gentoo online docu first.
