the bsds are very behind the times when it comes to technology needed to support a desktop stack that still integrates nicely with a unix platform (as opposed to air-dropping some alien skyscraper into the middle of a pristine landscape like osx did with quartz and all their non-FHS objective-C plist poo poo).

they're not even particularly unified seeing as the bsd landscape is balkanised all to hell. openbsd has an admirable security record going for them and that's about it

but i guess that's what happens when you spend more time wishing you could get plowed from behind by apple and other randian captains of industry and talking about how the gpl = communism than delivering decent engineering solutions

I have the opposite experience on Windows. Skype is constantly blinking at me and I can never get the little "1" indicator to go away. Steam always has some form of weird progress bar overlay in the icon on W7, and I can't ever figure out how to get it to just go back to a normal icon.

i have a thinkpad with an NVidia Quadro K2000M and intel integrated graphics. under windows the laptop uses NVidia Optimus to switch between video cards based on demand (e.g. run games with nvidia and firefox with intel)


does linux support that yet? i know about bumblebee but the last time i tried to install it i had to compile stuff and download stuff and didn't know wtf was going on basically it didn't work

disabling either intel or nvidia is not an option: i need intel for low power consumption and nvidia for the vga port

i used bumblebee at one point but it mostly didnt seem to work

funny thing about it is you really can do amazing poo poo through X windows its just that nobody does

im talking directly to you whoever wrote that MUX management software.. fujitsu? i think it was a flashwave or something that had some X management software and it was pretty gross... maybe it wasnt i cant remember the specific app. lucent too and name X

but yeah those auto cad programs were insane, and functional as hell, buggy as hell, and expensive as hell. but at least they were pretty

I'm gonna de-lurk long enough to say that as another full time Linux guy, after the GNOME 3 disaster I finally got suckered into buying Apple due to the "OSX, it's still unix but a decent desktop environment" myth. Decent hardware, but every point release is a driver crapshoot and of course I can't go in and fix them myself. I'm in Linux VMs if I want to do anything more complicated than surf the web or watch movies.

While I'm at it... There are hundreds of Linux-using developers at my day job and we pick our own environments. There's only *one* guy I've ever seen/heard of running GNOME 3 long term, but he also only graduated a year or two ago and is probably too dumb to know any better.

gnome 3 is great hope this helps
