there's also a lot of random garbage laptop components that only have a driver for whatever version of windows it shipped with

i have an old analog capture card which hasn't worked in windows since 98 but the linux driver is still maintained

We have a piece of equipment that can only run on the super-advanced ME version of Windows. IT loves it.

I got optimus working somehow the other night. I was drunk so I don't remember but it's nice to be able to use coot again

what


SELinux is preventing google-chrome-s from create access on the file 63.

***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests **************************

If you believe that google-chrome-s should be allowed create access on the 63 file by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# ausearch -c 'google-chrome-s' --raw | audit2allow -M my-googlechromes
# semodule -X 300 -i my-googlechromes.pp


This pops up every time I start chrome but it doesn't seem to do anything. Same with printing. What SELinux doing?

Ah poo poo looks like upgrade time - no more Fedora 24 support. What will break this time (besides wifi)?

Sometimes I use kate and it's pretty good

what is dnf meant to stand for because whenever i see it i can only think of 'duke nukem forever' or 'did not finish', the latter of which may be appropriate in the context of linux on the desktop

which fedora should I put on my fancy xps (ie, which version is most likely to work out o the box)?

So, uh, anyone know what happens if you have set up a vm that is your real hard drive, and you are running Fedora and want to run an installed windows on another partition, but don't get to grub in your vm in time and accidentally start up Fedora, which you are currently running?

what happens though, for real?

Death.

Worst panic. I quickly killed vmware to no effect. Fedora broken, Windows broken. Sadness all around.

i think this is what bumblebee and all those projects did, and it has worked for quite a while. but that copy-framebuffer-to-the-intel-Xserver was a major bottleneck, and has been since the inception. now, with proper PRIME support you finally have a fast path, so you'll get the same experience as in windows

I'm hesitant to make any changes to my 6-year-old laptop. Bumblebee seems to be doing the trick, but maybe I don't GPU hard enough?
