    I replaced Windows with Linux and everythings going great

    My goal here is to see how far I can get using Linux as my main OS without spending a ton of time futzing with it or even much time researching beforehand. I am not looking for more high-maintenance hobbies at this stage. I want to see if Linux is a wingable alternative to Microsofts increasingly annoying OS.

    Honestly? So far its been fine. Many things I expected to be difficult like getting my Nvidia graphics card working properly were perfectly straightforward. A few things I thought would be simple werent. And Ive run into one very funny issue with a gaming mouse that only works in games. But Ive been able to use my Linux setup for work this week, I played exactly one video game [09:45] schestowitz[TR2] , and I even printed something from my accursed printer.

In any case, all I am pointing out is, it's not the Indians or Asians who decide what and how much work gets outsourced. The ascent of the non-technical CEO who lacks vision, a board that focuses on quarterly profits and increased competition from China, Taiwan and more recently rising India, Philipines and Vietnam have been root causes for semiconductor outsourcing, fab and design. Notable exception [12:46] schestowitz[TR2] s are founder and engineer lead companies Nvidia and AMD. I am not against non-tech people leading engineering companies, those should be exceptions -- default should be executives with a strong engineering background who have grown through the ranks. I am curious on what IBM's future vision is, after all it was a stellar company at one time and probably is, I just don't know much about what it makes." ● Jan 12 [18:13] *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has left #techbytes [18:19] *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has joined #techbytes ● Jan 12 [19:08] *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has left #techbytes [19:18] *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has joined #techbytes ● Jan 12 [23:57] *x-amarsh04 has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!)
