just installed Fedora on a laptop I had laying around that was usually running win7/8 (poorly).

the installation was fast and smooth, sound works out of the box, mouse gestures work out of the box, FN-shortcuts on my keyboard work out of the box

i am amazed.

also, it's way faster on this than in windows.

Yesterday i played dota 2 on my linux with fine graphics and zero input lag, and also streamed it to twitch.tv which added no performance hit either on cpu encoding or NVENC. looking back a few months streaming would add horrible input lag and grind computer to halt, also nvenc didnt work.

you were still playing dota tho

It reimplements a Pulseaudio server, so it certainly can't be any worse. :ugly:

it is as always a bigger problem that linux offers little (or nothing) actually better than e.g. windows to "normal" people, many would overlook some small issues if they got something substantial in exchange, and there is very little on offer ever since like xp sp2 got windows to a state of decent security and stability.

it's free ! ! !!!!
