Fedora is Red Hat's testing ground for what goes into the next RHEL, so that's probably what you want. If you want the absolute latest packages you can get without having to compile a ton of stuff, you're looking at a rolling release distribution like Arch. If you're just looking at specific packages, check distrowatch.com and get whatever distribution fits your needs.

Probably because /tmp is supposed to be erased after every boot, so the developers think they shouldn't have to worry about cleaning up after themselves.

eXXon posted:Windows is still by far the favoured platform for games, but I don't know much about game development so someone else can speak to that. As I understand it, Linux hasn't become popular for games for several reasons: Programming in OpenGL is harder than Direct3D, graphics drivers have to be built specifically for the kernel version/version of Xorg, installing things is more difficult, etc. But the really big problem is that X11, which pretty much everything but OS X and Android use, is hacked-together garbage. It wasn't designed to do the things modern desktops and workstations need it to do, and it really shows its age in that respect. For many, many years, graphics card manufacturers flat-out refused to cooperate with the open source community in any way and just put out binary drivers whenever they felt like it, making it pretty much impossible to change to a better system. Now, most of the graphics cards have been reverse-engineered, and a variety of factors have led the big manufacturers to cooperate with the community more, making a change possible. Unfortunately, the replacements for X11 haven't been adopted in any mainstream system yet, and there are several competing replacements out, so it will be a while still before Linux will be able to compete on that front.

supermikhail posted:Uh, I guess that's a question worth asking. Depending on your distribution, you may need to install an AAC codec because of patents. You can buy a codec pack or download a codec for free if you don't mind the legal risk. Alternatively, install Chrome or transcode your files to FLAC, and you'll be able to play them.

There's also a borderless mode in some VMs where they'll hide the Linux desktop and give each app its own window on your real desktop. Alternatively, if you don't care about learning Linux specifically, you can just install Cygwin, which is as simple as downloading the setup and mashing "Next" until it installs. You can get a substantial subset of Unix-compatible commands, the Bash shell, and an X server with a few client apps. Pretty soon, Microsoft will also be releasing a Linux compatibility layer, and you can install Ubuntu programs on to it with no modifications. It's in beta testing and might not work for you, though, and it needs a separate X server since display devices aren't supported.

kujeger posted:apparently there were fruitful discussions about creating a third alternative at the last XDC so uuuuh the future might be better??? The future five years from now. From what I understand, NVIDIA's drivers are essentially a wrapper around the Windows driver, and the Linux team can't touch the actual driver code. On the other hand, GBM is practically Linux-only, but it's what everyone else uses because it's simple.

Looks like Mutter will be getting support for NVIDIA proprietary drivers on Wayland soon. Some patches just went through for Gnome 3.24, which is due March 20-22. Fedora 25 might backport the patches, which I think would make it the first distro to support Wayland on NVIDIA.

As I mentioned earlier, Mutter is getting EGLStream and EGLDevice support next release. 3.23.2 already has it. This means that GNOME at least will support NVIDIA on Wayland. In fact, Fedora already supports it via backported patches.

thebigcow posted:I think H.264 support in Firefox relied on something from Cisco that is free but not free enough to be turned on and there are some shenanigans involved in making it work. Yes. All video codecs people actually use are heavily patented, and everything but VPX cost real money to use. Cisco paid that money for H.264 so their videoconferencing software would work with no hassle, but the codec has to be distributed in binary form to keep the patent license (they would have no way of calculating how much they owe otherwise).

You should just run "systemctl reboot --firmware-setup" as root to get to UEFI Setup. That does it in exactly the same way as Windows does. Don't mess with the boot manager to do that. Setup shouldn't even be a boot option and probably won't do what you think it should.

Both Windows and Linux let you change that behavior. Linux handles the change a lot better, so it's best to set Linux to use local time.

The_Franz posted:Gnome now has support for EGLStreams so Wayland will work with Nvidia. It landed too late for Fedora 25 though, so you'll have to wait for the next version. KDE + Wayland on Nvidia is still a no-go though and that doesn't seem like it will change any time soon. And they're having trouble getting Gnome working with some graphics configurations, so the alpha is getting delayed. Also, their artists apparently missed the memo that they needed some new backgrounds. Can't release an alpha without new backgrounds, no siree! (This is an actual alpha release criterion,  )

Are there any minimal DEs that use Mutter? From what I can tell, it's going to be the only window manager to support NVIDIA on Wayland until they develop the new buffer allocation protocol.

There are actually a couple of requirements in HTTP/2. TLS 1.2 and above with SNI extensions is required, ECDHE with the P-256 curve must be supported and use 224+-bit keys, and GCM and SHA-256 must be supported. Technically, you don't need TLS at all, but in practice, nobody supports HTTP/2 without encryption, and those are the minimum requirements for encryption.

Windows ports tend to suck anyway. Windows just doesn't have the same feature set for everything. For instance, Windows has no fork except for an undocumented native method, so processes can't be created with copy-on-write pages, which causes a performance hit on process creation.

I have been wondering if you could do a syscall to lxss.sys from Win32 or NT native code to get fork working well for Cygwin and MinGW. They would never support it officially due to it being undocumented, but it would probably work better than NtCreateProcess or making your own hacky kernel service. What calling convention does it use?

CaptainSarcastic posted:Wouldn't using Chromium give largely the same results as using Chrome? Chromium can only include basic versions of H.264 (through the Cisco codec, if it even supports that) and AAC due to licensing, and it can’t support HEIF at all. You would have to purchase licenses for the codecs yourself to use them with Chromium (or build them yourself and take the very low risk of getting sued). e: Also, last I checked, Red Hat flat out refuses to include Chromium because it can’t be linked dynamically without seriously retooling its build scripts, and they forbid statically linked binaries.

CRAYON posted:Are there any ffmpeg wizards in here, or could you point me to the correct thread? Sure. What command are you using, or is it a GUI? One thing I can think of is the beginning of your segments might not be at keyframes. That would require you to re-encode the entire video, or else weird issues like what you’re describing can crop up. Starting cuts at keyframes avoids that issue and doesn’t result in quality loss.

Yeah, Microsoft would be so much better, the company that laid off their entire QA department and was surprised when a released upgrade deleted people’s documents from their home folders, despite said problem having been reported during the beta. Also, I wouldn’t worry too much. SUSE is on its fourth takeover now, and it’s still pretty good.

It’s probably best to do a hash -r, just to be safe, especially if you’re about to build something that might care which version of a command it’s running (for instance, I’ve had builds fail because BSD sed and GNU sed produced different outputs).

I’m using openSUSE Tumbleweed myself. I only really set up dbus in an attempt to make updates stop spewing out so many useless warnings, but that really only changed them from “dbus isn’t running” to “systemd isn’t running.” Which is slightly more indicative of the real “problem” to be fair, but still useless clutter amid the actually important warnings (usually about .rpmnew files).

Shofixti posted:Every time I open a text file through the file manager I get the following message. It's really annoying. What's going on? It's not happening with any other file types. Did the files come from an external drive or another system? If so, they will have the execute permission set by default. Other files won’t do that because they are clearly not executable, but Mint has no way to tell that a text file isn’t actually a shell script, so it relies on the execute permission to determine that.
