thanks package manager, you're useless

If you want the latest and greatest of everything, you could use Arch Linux.

You're kidding me, right? https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/log/trunk?h...

There's sometimes weeks before node is updated.

Updating PostgreSQL from 9.6.1 to 9.6.2 took 4 months.

And right now .net core build is failing on my archlinux test server.

If you want latest - use macOS with brew

0.2% desktop users agree. Continue live in your strange bubble, just stop mentioning linux to normal folk.

Install git without requiring root privileges... Also git is a 3rd party application, yet somehow all distros treat git as part of base system/OS bundle/whatever, so Fedora 25 has set version of 2.9, 24 of 2.7, etc. WHY. WHY. It's third party software, not part of your god damn OS - there should be only one version of git in the repos for ALL FEDORA VERSIONS - and that would be the latest... Come the fuck on.

Replace "git" with every other package....

Linux is so amateur hour with all plainly stupid decisions, I'd rather pay good money for proper unix.

Because you can upgrade from windows 3.11 all the way to 10, good luck with ubuntu.

Yeah, I see your point.

No, you were blinded by your own hygiene... Using contact lenses for 7 years now.

25 yrs

Is is really worth to butcher a word to save one letter?

Not really news, saying "linux distro chases ideas to rewrite instead of sticking to one thing and fixing it and that's why linux desktop won't ever happen" is like saying "grass is green".

Because we solve practical problems, and do not nit pick of what is technically correct. We are not drones and easily understand that in this context it's megabytes.

Just look at all that "technically it's mebibytes bla bla bla" in replies. No one cares. Write some code. Or better - go outside.

Original comment sounds more like google's shill comment, to be honest. Because iPhones take pictures instantly too (although they have a quick ui feedback), and it's either hard to believe that attendant never touched iPhone, which is, like, well, the most popular phone ever; or it's indeed that pixel doesn't indicate in any way that it has taken the picture.

X11 runs really well these days -- responsive, fast, reliable

Well, you haven't seen Windows then - the graphics stack is phenomenal and a marvel of engineering. nVidia drivers crash? I only get a second of black screen and then resume my work. Yep, that's right - no other GUI program crashed, I didn't had to do anything, literally just 1 second of black screen.

Oh and you can have one window on two monitors and both parts of window will have full vsync - insane, huh? :)

It's scary how good Windows is.

Not performing testing on Linux is inexcusable in my book in this day and age.

No, wasting time for two open minded users instead of working for 99,999% users is inexcusable.

Give him another 17 years and he might learn some basics.

He thought that no one would bother to look for him in Lithuania, too bad Lithuania is a member of EU and not forgotten nook.

Now I know why most of my colleagues in software development do not have a degree - academy really, really closes your mind in some strange bubble and shields you from real world...

This article - I don't even...

Those linked benchmarks are useless. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2017/03/amd-ryzen-review/

I'd take Intel CPU that runs 120 FPS average over AMD that runs 130 FPS average, when lowest FPS for Intel drops to 100 FPS and for AMD it drops to 80 FPS...

I'm actually using my computer and not running it as a build server. I'd take 16 ghz single core CPU over 4 core 4ghz any time of the day.

That's mainly an Apple problem though.

And Google's/Spotify's problem is that they do not have any good or even decent phones.

I like Apple Music more - more songs and it uploads your mp3s that are not matched and make them available everywhere.

Well 3G is as low as you can get somewhere deep in the woods, not really a problem...

Exactly, that's how some not very bright people were tricked into thinking that Node.js is actually fast.

Surprise, "technical smart people" do not matter - they're just vocal crybabies.

Not really far if you count games that sell 1 million+ copies. Right now I'm playing Titanfall 2, Battlefield 1, Forza Horizon 3 and Resident Evil 7. And Hearthstone. Haven't seen a game that I would enjoy released on linux in ages. Even new Doom didn't get a Linux release, id software gave up.

No, because 3D never really had "wow this is so much better" appliances, meanwhile (if you don't get motion sickness with VR headset) racing games with VR are so much better and work insanely well.

It still baffles me that someone is using shared hosting services and upload their php files via ftp...

Except for telemetry - I think after using Linux, Windows is confusing to you, because I don't have Cortana and still can search for files, don't see ads.

Understandable, as Windows is not *nix, you should just RTFM.

How do I enable ads on start and lock screen? A lot of people are talking about it, I feel left out. :/

You no longer have search without Cortana.

Could you elaborate? search for what?

These are not small annoyances that happen sometimes. They happen frequently. Microsoft is dictating how you must use a computer.

Good, otherwise we'd end up with bazillion window managers that get you 80% of "stuff" in bazillion different ways, but none do the other 20%.

Ugh, Emojis are thing for very informal conversations - your friends. Seeing them splattered in somewhat official statement looks so out of place and unprofessional.

So, how do I press "go" that's mentioned in text in the overlay?
