This could finally be a modern successor to the old User Mode Linux.

[jacob]

Exactly. Up to 1080 lines VP9 is said to be more efficient than HEVC and for 4K it's nearly as efficient as HEVC without all the patent minefield. If...

I don't care about marketing lies, the clarification is always just one Google query away. What does worry me is their microcoded backdoors and Intel,...

[jacob]

Google might be extremely evil but their open source contributions have always been excellent and highly valuable.

[jacob]

That's patently absurd. His personality and beliefs are no-one's business but his own. If you want to sack people due to their beliefs and personality,...

[jacob]

Objectively not quite yet, albeit it's getting closer. The graphical stack (drivers etc.) is in a much better shape now but it's still a little bit of...

[jacob]

For most people at least, that's absolutely not true. In most cases you need at least a couple of GNOME extensions to have a functional and productive...

Do the Server and Workstation versions of Fedora use the same kernel build?

[jacob]

I'm looking forward to GTK4

[jacob]

There has never been anything great about X11. Virtually all modern software runs natively on Wayland now, the few exceptions that don't (GIMP...) are...

Maybe it's a case of Poe's law....

[jacob]

All right, let's take a short break from the (arguably very fun) trolling in this thread and look at the ridiculousness of the situation. Someone has...

It's worse than that. Windows 10 supports SMP! It's urgent to remove SMP support from Linux (after all, Unix did just fine with a single CPU on the PDP11),...

[jacob]

You're right. I mean, I wouldn't accept that Linus Torvalds takes away my Choicet(tm) by deciding for me which thread should have the CPU right how, would...

[jacob]

Arch uses systemd for everything. Real Men use Devuan, Gentoo or Void Linux because fifty years ago there was nothing wrong with using buggy, unmaintainable...

[jacob]

Not nearly enough. It's unacceptable to expect that an USB device would just work when you plug it in. That's like Windows and therefore Bad(tm). We want...

[jacob]

Its documentation....

[jacob]

Oh my God, systemd is going to take ChromeOS as a single giant binary and run it under PID 1! It's all part of a secret conspiracy led by Poettering to...

[jacob]

No I don't expect today's laptops to last that long, but my point was that a laptop (not tablet) that could be actually used for that many hours on a...

[jacob]

That's whataboutery. Maybe I am, the point being, ARM processors can bring us closer to that and for that I think ARM laptops have a great selling point,...
