special thanks to generous YOSPOSter Beast of Bourbon for hooking me up with a sick graphics card to replace my dead GTX 760, DOTA is working good now on FEDORA. over 100 FPS and working great. Appears there's no DISCORD app for Linux, but it is COMING SOON so thats very thrilling. Also, there is no native StarCraft II client, but i read it works p deece with the PlayOnLinux wine wrapper thing, so i might try that, some time soon. I had a bug where I couldnt click on anything in GNOME with the proprietary nvidia driver, but I followed some guide to install the negativo drivers or whate4ver from here: http://negativo17.org/nvidia-driver/ and thats working well. bless to all.

yeah, why do you thinks "rms" has no vowels? the backstory is that in the university world they used to charge for computer use per printed vowel, so people did their best to avoid them, even going to absurd lengths like using numbers for software versions instead of distinct names. Linuxes usually do both now like Ubuntu Swole Swallow etc

i tried to get back to linux on the desktop since whenever i left the glorious autism filled days of running gentoo on a laptop (including weekends and weekends of recompiling X11 because something broke again), i installed fedora is the default window manager a mean, mean joke? who needs title bars that are the same height as half the screen e: gently caress it i installed i3 and that works, back to autism central though geonetix fucked around with this message at 11:52 on Mar 28, 2016 |

more people would probably love gnome 3 if its default appearance out of the box attracted a reaction other than "oh god why is it so chunky and hideous make it go away" the same is, of course, true of me

I like LXQt. It's efficient, does what I need it to, has a minimalist design, it uses Qt instead of GTK (the inferior widget framework), and above all, it doesn't use a lot of Ram.

yes, that's the text file in the hidden directory I was referring to hasn't linux on the desktop come on a long way! why, I remember the bad old days when things were exactly like this except the text files you had to edit by hand were not in a hidden directory, and also had detailed manpages. I'm so glad we've escaped that hell.
