Benchmarks are usually flawed, and the Techempower ones are no exception. But in the latest round, https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=d...

[Michael_S]

And just as importantly, I don't have the right to demand that someone else work on the open source projects that I prefer. I can try to persuade systemd...

[Michael_S]

No actually, Void started with systemd and then moved away from it.

I use systemd. I like systemd.

But I like choice. I think...

I ran it a few years ago and had a fine experience, I'll take it for a spin again.

kenjitamura - that's hilarious, I have the same Gigabyte motherboard and the same USB problems. I won't be buying Gigabyte again. All of the other...

Edit: I think Microsoft really shot themselves in the foot with the Windows App Store. Pursuing that model would have made a ton of sense if Windows...

Is it just me, or is the pace of Wine improvements increasing? The project is 25 years old but seems like things have been speeding up for the past ten....

[Michael_S]

I would take it in a different direction - as far as I understand it, a lot of the Wine developers are volunteer. If they're not being paid to get a...

[Michael_S]

So they have their "IntegriCloud" cloud-hosting, which looks cool. But it's kind of expensive. Again, you're paying for freedom and innovation...

Thanks BillBroadley and Spazturtle - what you wrote makes sense.

I'm not much of a gamer these days, but if I was I think the 500GB-1TB SSDs...

[Michael_S]

Oh right, I think an SSD is still a great investment to speed up gaming. I hate waiting between level loads. I just hoped someone with more insight could...

[Michael_S]

I'm under the impression most games batch load the data they need at the beginning of each level or map, and then from that point forward there is no...

[Michael_S]

Thanks for the correction....

[Michael_S]

Nice. I imagine the team team at Raptor Engineering with their Talos products with the Power Architecture are pleased. That opens the possibility of...

[Michael_S]

I'm not defending their marketing. I'm disappointed by it too. I'm just not surprised they went that route.




Thanks....

[Michael_S]

I imagine a pretty significant portion of System76 customers play Steam games or at least gog.com games, which means a CPU architecture outside x86_64...

[Michael_S]

I think you have it backwards. GNOME 3 is designed by default for you to do all of your work with hotkeys, instead of clicking windows and clicking the...

And if you keep reading about Rust, you'll see that the preferred/recommended way to do array iteration in Rust is using a for construct, https://doc...

[Michael_S]

I will take your word on it. No sarcasm. I use Linux everywhere except a mediocre Windows laptop for work, and on that one I never open Chrome so I...

[Michael_S]

I figure that it's always faster to navigate between windows with hotkeys than by using the minimize, maximize, and close trio. I'm almost positive that's...
