I believe an OS, is the beginning and the Shell/GUI is what you add for yourself..
I find it Impossible for a Program(Chrome) to Break an interface because of a video driver..AND IT SHOULDNT..

What is happening to Linux?
To many Cooks in the Kitchen?
Major corps STILL dont think about it?? for drivers?

I find it funny that the Graphic Utilities ARNT in 1-2 Utility..

Linux USED to be #1 for Game design…for reasons..And all of them are gone.
MS wont let them make a PORT for DirectX, Not to say anything about its OTHER programming..

I remember the Old days when the Major PLAYERS in computers Made programs to work on EVERYTHING…
I could get Multiplan on Any machine..

But, its coming down to the ‘Atari War’ again..and the Loser will be the consumer.

The DOD is going to upgrade to Win10…STUPID..
The military has been TRYING to use windows in Fighter jets…Wish I could say this was a good idea..insted of making a STRAIGHT SIMPLE INTERFACE, they complicate it…and every time it lands, it wants an UPDATE..(waiting for it to happen inflight)
What happened to GWBASIC??
GET PYTHON WORKING ON WINDOWS…

What do you think of a OS, with its OWN interface, Runs its OWN programming language(Vbasic, VC++, DX, Netframework,…,…)(makes things confusing)…
AND STILL isnt safe…

i've never understood people who randomly capitalize words mid-sentence. like not ALL CAPS for emphasis but just capitalizing a Random Word for no apparent reason

the only illegal part might be that the shop he bought it from didn't say it's a signature windows laptop, whatever that means

otherwise no, I'm pretty sure this is just lenovo being incompetent, rather than microsoft being nefarious

the ps4 interface is not great but it is still better than the xbone interface since it actually responds immediately when you press a button

If there's one thing the GNOME 2 HIG had right, it was that the default action should be an action verb on the bottom right.

Those buttons on the about dialog, amazing.

if you don't like how kde displays dialog actions, simply change the code and recompile it for yourself
