It's not quite as elegant as chrome, but you can go to about:profiles to manage profiles from within firefox. It allows you to create/delete profiles and launch a given profile in a new window.

57 really is a huge improvement, I can no longer feel any difference in responsiveness between firefox and chrome. In some ways I think firefox has actually surpassed chrome (e.g. on my xps 13 touchpad scrolling is much more responsive&#x2F

yep, an SSD and perhaps more ram is the only upgrade most machines need these days. I'd rather use an old machine that's been upgraded with an SSD than a brand new machine that only has a mechanical hdd

They should have tested with the 'movies and tv' app that is now the default video player in windows 10. From benchmarks I recall seeing, it's by far the most battery efficient video player on the windows platform. edit: htt

to be fair, how hard would it be to have feature parity with an app as simple as MSpaint?

Unity is being dropped and unity 7 had already been in maintenance mode for a long time, so it's not surprising there's no unity changes here.

Yeah, I think KDE would need a 10,000 papercuts project before it would be ready as a default desktop that OEMs etc... would be comfortable shipping.

Yeah, the UI latency/smoothness is my one main issue with gnome 3. If it wasn't for that I'd be the biggest gnome 3 fanboy around. I think the shell being written in javascript was a double-edged sword. The extensibility is r

If you've been using unity, you've already been using most of the gnome stack, the main difference being a different shell and window manager on top. I do slightly prefer unity to gnome (mainly because, in my experience, unity&#x2

What sorts of issues? I've tried a multitude of distros on it and provided that it has a recent kernel (4.8 or newer, so if you tried 16.04 you'd want to make sure you're running the HWE stack) everything seems to work really

Yeah, I've had intermittent suspend/resume issues with nearly every laptop I've tried linux on. My current xps 13 is the only one I've ever used where it works 100% reliably.

I've never used the ios mail app, but in general gmail has a weird imap implementation that behaves wonky with a lot of mail clients so with gmail using the webmail or a gmail specific app is usually preferable.
