Scionix posted:it is very good, about 7-8 hrs battery life on windows, windows 10 actually uses high DPI correctly 90% of the time, and the laptop itself is built beautifully and the keyboard/trackpad are above average. Only downside is screen bezel if that's a big turnoff for you. firefox doesn't have video acceleration chromium on fedora and arch has it, and you can patch it in yourself if you're so inclined too (i've got it enabled on gentoo) it's insanely important to have a vaapi enabled browser for battery life, and google are dicks for keeping it out from linux builds (it's enabled in chromeos)

linux is still bad, but with every new version, both windows and macos get closer and closer to being equally bad, so it can’t be long until linux is a reasonable option

PCjr sidecar posted:puppet, but the entire os pretty much. Server environments are all about cattle not pets, so there's not much value in tech for maintaining long-lived servers (even bare metal ones). Just nuke and reinstall Linux everytime.

nixos moves us forward in thinking about the entire os tree as something we should version as a unit instead of a bunch of packages but still has the bad idea of shipping applications and unrelated system components as part of the os tree for seemingly no reason

Amethyst posted:is anyone using a dell xps 13 with fedora? how is it? do random keys not work? does the fan spin at max constantly? Its really hard to find an honest answer about this stuff, often you'll read a post that says "it's rock solid, absolutely flawless, I couldn't be happier" but then further down the thread the user will reveal that the wifi itermittently disable itself and a bunch of keyboard buttons don't work XPS 13 and Fedora is good.

which VMS do I want to run on a VAXstation 4000 VLC? it was first supported in 5.5 but I’m being told to run 7.3, are there any other decent options excited for DECwindows on VMS

there's a lot of different xps 13s might sound weird, but im guessing updating your bios might fix your issue, if not you should google "xps 13 acpi_osi"

The Jedi Engine had support for areas or rooms (called "sectors") on top of one another, a trait that it shared with the Build engine. anyhow the star wars connection was that you could shoot storm troopers with a blaster while the imperial theme played, what more could you want from a doom era shooter? it was great as a 9 year old child anyhow.
