It's fine what you like, but Plasma has like 4 different styles of application menu, including one that very much resembles a classic start menu....

[duby229]

That's bullshit. Plasma starts up and the whole OS uses about 500MB of ram. Can you run Firefox, which is way bigger that the whole OS, on a 2GB machine?...

[duby229]

What's new is that this indicates Intel is finally designing a modern GPU architecture....

[duby229]

Actually guys it has to do with something called a vec4 pipeline, Intels current hardware architecture doesn't have the same design that gallium is designed...

[duby229]

Windows doesn't even have a real scheduler....

[duby229]

It's exactly context switching. Just profile an IO benchmark or any IO sensitive load you know of. There you will see the pipeline flushing and refilling...

Oh god I wish there was a "hate" button too.......

[duby229]

The way I understand it is something like this, Xorg is a server and it provides alot of the capability that a window manager or a compositor would need....

[duby229]

Just because something can be done in abstract does not mean that a person actually -could- do it. Multithreading in C is exponentially difficult. Given...

[duby229]

I hate to be the one to tell you this, but every modern CPU has at least 2 fully functional and parallel integer pipelines. It's a fact and it's been...

[duby229]

I totally disagree. It's just too hard to get much parallelism out of it. Just look at multithreading, it's exponentially difficult. C was designed in...

[duby229]

Oh good, how soon do they plan to remove Gnome Shell then? Or xorg? Or mono? Or -every- web browser?

EDIT: The point I'm making is that they...

Like I said already, I'm not new, I chose Gentoo because of use flags. But, gentoo is a minority and everybody else chose linux for their own reasons,...

[duby229]

Emergent behavior, that's all that needs to be said.......

[duby229]

Yes wine gets counted as linux, basically what amounts to "other" Valve tracks linux usage by distro, so Ubuntu, fedora, Suse, etc.. Because...

[duby229]

But we aren't considering every possible operating system, just Desktop linux distro's.... Intel has the majority share and most of them will never run...

[duby229]

Like I said, I'm not new, if Gentoo is a small minority and it has millions of users, then there must be hundreds of millions of linux users total. Think...

[duby229]

You don't have to be sorry to me, I'm not new, sorry to break it to you, but that's -the- reason why many people don't use windows.

And of...

[duby229]

This is exactly what I"m talking about, you take one of the best things about linux and use it as a complaint... wtf.... I'm a gentoo user so I'm...

[duby229]

I know you're just guestimating, but 10 times is still 10%.... Come on now think about what you're say.... If it was that high, and it's not, it would...
