But can't the same problem happen if you, somehow, lose the ownership of your domain? I mean, I don't know what the actual assurances are, but if there is any chance that you may lose access to your domain (for causes other than f

You can use "apt-cache policy", for example. This way you can see the current installed version of a package in your system, and also if there's a newer version you can install (the candidate). $ apt-cache policy accounts

Well, nothing really surprising coming from Spaniards. There, three out of the four official languages are invisible too. Only the Spanish (Castilian) language is not.

I never got to fully understand Wayland's model, but if this means that something that previously was handled by the display server for everybody, and now every single desktop environment (or at least something like wlroots) has to sol

Well, I've been using Nvidia cards for years, and the last time I built a new computer (some months ago) I had a hard time deciding whether to stick to Nvidia or switching to AMD. Eventually, I chose to stay with Nvidia, because gettin

by severino 6y ago
Why is it a shame? They had been providing quality Linux drivers for years, when nobody else cared about high-end graphics for Linux. Remember fglrx? Now AMD is opensource? Great! However, it's still very far from perfect. You only hav

However, maybe having someone external to the project look into, and understand those undocumented functions or system calls, and explaining them to the people which will actually implement them could work.

Yes, I understand your position. I tend to disagree, because for me, the Windows world is not a better world: I don't specially like the Windows UI, I don't like how updates are done, I value using open-source software and I don&#

Well, he said "it-just-works", but it will never get to that point by its own merits, as it depends on one rival company releasing software for you.

by severino 6y ago
Yes, it's true, but it depends on what your needs are. For example, in my case, as a developer, I prefer not to spend any money on Office software and instead get a higher end CPU.

I don't know for other vendors, but at least for nvidia, there's parity with the Windows drivers, according to the benchmarks and the general stability. In fact, I remember when sometimes a feature had to be removed from the Linux

I know lot of people use excel, and can't live without it. Anyway, the point is that we can blame Linux for kernel or driver issues, its thousands of desktop environments for its bugs, etc, but I don't think it's fair to say

I can understand some people have specific needs and have to use software like that, but I wouldn't say an OS doesn't work just because you can't use some software on it. You can't also have Omnigraffle for Windows, yet

So what's wrong with Linux if you want a Linux based system? I don't remember the last time I got a Linux desktop which didn't "just work"; of course I try to avoid exotic hardware components, but the truth is that

For me, the biggest shame is that Linux never got to adopt all these brilliant technologies like ZFS or Dtrace, directing efforts to alternatives that are nowhere near the quality or reliability of the former. Yes I know there's a long

I don't know why this is downvoted. If any, Nvidia has been providing quality drivers for Linux for decades, and it was the only way to have a decent GPU supported by Linux in the 2000s, as ATI/AMD cards were awful in Linux.

Just out of curiosity, was this bug something related to an AMD GPU, or CPU, like it was the case in the article? And was it trying to play the game in Linux or Windows?
