Discrete GPUs were always for niche markets, but that didn't stop it from being a billion dollar market.

ok gnome 3.12 was really good but everything is up a notch. i've never known a computer to actually become faster while i owned it.

went back to windows 10 for a moment and looked at its multiple desktop implementation, lol what a shitshow in direct comparison

The best part about gnome 3.14 is the new default gtk theme.

It is very pretty :3:

settings > universal access > set "Screen Keyboard" to on

if you want to turn it on and off without having to drill into the settings menu, set "Always Show Universal Access Menu" to on

i'm really liking the new animations, they're subtle (ok the Applications menu one isn't but the rest are), and somehow despite them, the shell runs even faster than before

i don't get the hate. it's a completely different way to work and if you give yourself some time to shed some dumb old habits, the workspaces-as-tasks thing is really really great and using anything else becomes a chore.

i had two monitors and reduced back down to one because workspaces are that great

The gnome 3 desktop experience is so good that microsoft feels they need to catch up or be left behind. That's what windows 10 is all about but they still fall far short. What more evidence do you need

[tantrum-throwing intensifies]

for reference this is the guy who threw a tantrum of absolutely biblical proportions when Debian switched to systemd "by default" (i.e. chose systemd as the only init system that's actually going to matter, same as every other linux, because people who are actually paid to do productive things with a linux understand that systemd helps you get poo poo done and philosophical navel-gazing while making no forward progress does not)

on the plus side, the lwn reaction to this latest shitfit is overwhelmingly negative. i'd have at least some respect for the whiners if they actually wrote any code in the last six months instead of just bitching and demanding that everything remain the same.

Yeah, I'm going to get paid to productively convert all our loving infrastructure to systemd instead of useful loving work.

Seriously, gently caress systemd.
