DaemonFCschestowitz: Have you noticed how Windows system requirements haven't gone up at the pace they usually have in the past?Oct 15 09:36
DaemonFCI think they realize how hard it is to sell people expensive new hardware in this economyOct 15 09:36
DaemonFCbut they think they can still drag everyone along for the ride when it comes to softwareOct 15 09:36
DaemonFCwith those APUs, some of the rules change for hardware buyingOct 15 09:37
DaemonFCsystem RAM speed didn't really matter too much as long as you could run the FSB fast enough to get your CPU to the clock speed it was supposed to run atOct 15 09:38
DaemonFCgoing with faster memory beyond that point would help with overclocking, byt by itself, it would only speed the system up 1-2% over the slower RAMOct 15 09:38
DaemonFCso it was not worth the extra costOct 15 09:38
DaemonFCbut now that you're using system RAM for graphics memory, you'll want to get the faster stuffOct 15 09:39

DaemonFCthe system data is just not that important because it can be easily replacedOct 15 09:48
DaemonFCI've had a couple of disruptions this year. One was due to a hard drive replacement and the other one was a couple days ago when I decided to dump, do a better partitioning job change my disk labeling to GPT because the new BIOS knows what that is, and restoreOct 15 09:50

DaemonFCFedora just sees that you have a BIOS and assumes it doesn't know what GPT is, because most of them don't, so I did a little bit of hacking around that to get out of having to make a BIOS Boot partitionOct 15 09:51
DaemonFCnow I'm using EFI's partition labeling with BIOSOct 15 09:51

DaemonFC"We don't know what shape Qt 5 and KDE 5 will be in, initially, and so it's good to have an LTS with versions that we know work."Oct 15 11:16
DaemonFCso you can park yourself on Kubuntu LTS or Debian 7 for a few years if KDE 5 turns out to be really badOct 15 11:16
DaemonFCgiven the state that Qt 5 is in right now, I think we have at least 2-3 major KDE 4 releases leftOct 15 11:17

DaemonFCthe tearing with desktop compositing that he refers to is probably because some distributions ship Nouveau with glxvsync off and others default to onOct 15 14:25

DaemonFC"Questionable patents and legality status. USA Linux users cannot play many popular audio and video formats until they purchase appropriate codecs."Oct 15 15:23
DaemonFCor you can just install the gstreamer codecs anyway and not careOct 15 15:24
DaemonFC(plus ffmpeg and vlc, and whatever else you want..."Oct 15 15:24
DaemonFCanyway, that's a problem with the legal systemOct 15 15:25
DaemonFCand Windows users have to pay codec royalties too, it's built into the price of WindowsOct 15 15:25
DaemonFCso I feel like I've paid MPEG-LA quite enough alreadyOct 15 15:26
DaemonFC"LTS distros are unsuable on the desktop because they poorly support or don't support new hardware, specifically GPUs (as well as Wi-Fi adaptors, NICs, sound cards, hardware sensors, etc.)."Oct 15 15:27
DaemonFCI don't know what he wants. Ubuntu and RHEL both backport new drivers into their long term kernels.Oct 15 15:27
DaemonFCUbuntu respins the installer every 6 months, while RHEL issues point releasesOct 15 15:28
MinceRso, do you think that rant is out of ignorance or paid FUD?Oct 15 15:28
