i'm curious. are there any unfixable design flaws or things that could be better in the linux kernel? i'm not talking vague stuff like 3rd party drivers or whatev i am talking about specific things e.g. if the design of threads prevents better memory sharing or whatev basically. if you went back in time and also became linus what are the changes you would make? e: asssuming u have todays tech and languages

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

am i the only one who finds env variables confusing, intimidating, and disgusting? i just dont like loving around with stuff that affect random processes randomly and i feel that poo poo should be in a config file. build systems are the loving worst in this regard. was there ever any env-free os? or at least env-free build system?

Suspicious Dish posted:Fedora's release cycle was always supposed to be one month after GNOME release. Unfortunately, Anaconda hosed that up. Anaconda keeps getting worse, and even now, with two release cycles skipped to make way for the incredible, mind-bending change of "some different packages are installed by default", Fedora 21 is still blocked by Anaconda. I thought Anaconda was their OS installer. what else does it do?

i hate the black fade gradient applied to application icons on the gnome 3 panel. it looks like poo poo. the panel doesn't show more than one app so why not give the icon its own space and push the app title to the side? or at least fade the whole icon uniformly? is there any way to disable it?

anybody got any experience making web scrapers in linux? i got a scraper made with c#+awesomium (ugh at the name) and i want to make port it to headless, gui-less linux. i want a browser engine but i don't want to install xserver, wayland, qt, or gtk. i just want dynamic html+js and they don't even need to render. the site i am scraping is doing some crazy ajax gymnastics with obfuscated js so doing the requests by hand is way too much effort. any ideas?

thanks. but isn't that a one-time parser? the pages i am scraping have tickers, marquees, things that pop up and hide, etc. web 2.0 as gently caress. the way i am currently scraping is by injecting some js on the site that calls a callback in my code when things change. that's why i am currently using a chromium shell (awesomium).

i am not gonna reverse engineer the logic of a f'ed up piece of early 2000s best engineering practices thank you very much. it has at least three different frameworks running and none of them is easy to reason about. it will take me months to go anywhere with this. but yeah, i am looking for a full browser engine that will run without having a whole gui running on the linux box. apparently phantomjs can do that despite what some snackoverflow user said (outdated answers  ).i am gonna try that when i go home. thanks ppl.
