ok im not going to have cable aargment in the linux thread but basically their phones imo shoulda been normal microusb, mini displayport was nothing put a adapter-plug basically (literally never seen a native displaypor device) and firewire was horse shhit idk maybe im a loving moron but like their cables are annoying to me.

native displayport is common as dirt, but it is always the full-size connector.

"mini" displayport is a weird apple-ism

AirPrint is probably lighter for a mobile device

AirPrint being entirely rendered on the device is far harder for a device vendor to get wrong

I love PostScript, but these days the only software worse than printer divers is the software actually running on the printer. client-side rasterization is the only way to go.

The only thing white people deserve is a bullet to their empty skull
thread got me curious, airprint is apparently zeroconf + ipp + a requirement for the printer to support & advertise at minimum the capability to accept universal raster format (urf) + optional support for jpg + optional support for pdf rasterization. also apple devices will prefer pdf if it's avail

all this stuff is off the shelf tech and supposedly it's p easy for randos to write a little bit of glue so that avahi (for the zeroconf service discov) + cups (for the ipp & rasterization) on a linux with (insert random cups supported printer here) functions as an airprint printer

interestingly i ran into several references on the net which hint that apple was originally going to release such print server software and document everything more openly only to be smacked down by hp's giant printing patent penis

in our real world apple granted royalty free use of the connector to the entire world and vesa, seeing that it was Good, proceeded to incorporate it as an alternate connector in the official displayport standard. iirc this sequence of events happened about two milliseconds after apple shipped their first mini displayport device so it has basically never been proprietary

many non apple video cards use mini displayport for one or more of the outputs because if you have to jam lots of them onto a card for multihead it's a hell of a lot easier when the connectors are tiny

it is; if you're on arch or tracking current, in gnome 3.12 /.14 classic no longer works. If you're looking for that gnome classic feel, use mate which is the continuation of gnome 2 and works well.

red hat does not really have a plan for the desktop

shipping gnome 3 with the standard shell is not a viable option because many red hat "desktop" users just want a server management GUI on a VM

Why would you ever ever ever run a GUI on a server? Retarded.

Fedora on Desktop trip report: everything worked out of the box. Installing the Nvidia drivers (via yum) caused a kernel update, but it neglected to automatically install the 8MiB package with extra drivers (including the sound card drivers) along with the base 30MiB kernel package. So I suddenly had no sound. It's good to be home.

Believe it or not, there are instances where running an X application remotely is the easiest option for everyone.

Maybe if you specify dedicate web server, sure no reason. But not every server only serves up web pages.
