Instead, everyone with upload rights is just a developer and can upload any package to Universe or to Main+Universe. Sure, there are people who work on particular things (eg me and Wine), and there are people who even get paid to work on certain particular things (eg most Canonical staff), but part of our process and organization makes everything feel like a shared burden.

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

well you installed linux i'm not sure there was ever the reasonable expectation that it wouldn't look like dogshit

looking like dogshit is a time-honored tradition in unix desktops. everyone knows about Sun's garish purple, HP's unreadable blue-on-blue etc. DEC beat them all, they had a dogshit-colored theme as the default:

having elaborate opinions about the different desktop linux implementations and details is much like having elaborate opinions on the merits of various makes of industrial water pumps (while thinking that people who deal with oil pumps are heathens wasting their lifes)

it is not that there aren't sensible reasons for all opinions, it will just forever fascinate all normal people that you for some reason care (except if you work for a pump company, i.e. actually professionally use one of the linux custom cad systems or such)

rhel is close but the releases for adults should still have 3rd party support for occasional non-ancient pkgs via a ppa-style system
