As a Linux user and gamer I can totally relate to this. In my own experience, the gaming problem is almost solved when you have Nvidia Hardware with proprietary drivers, but AND and Intel drivers are really behind in that space. Hopefully,

I currently have 753 tabs open on this computer alone :p But as you say, it's not a problem at all because there are not loaded until I go back to them. The only issue I have with massive number of tabs, is the start-up time of the bro

Nodejs is a minor JavaScript runtime, and the backward compatibility is not really an issue: There is breaking changes in the node standard library from time to time. That's the reason it was forked into io.js last year, and why they n
