Notorious b.s.d. posted:smart move i wonder why it's not working idk if their kernel is completely Dumb and Bad but imo the reason darwin open source has gone nowhere is because the driver model is fundamentally incompatible with *BSD and linux, and all the kernel extensions in osx for any hardware worth using are proprietary and mostly undocumented so no one could actually run darwin even if they wanted to also darwin is basically osx with no available software, running on an executable format no one else uses, and without jony ibe gradients and pretty colors so it basically has no use case anyway

infernal machines posted:i liked beos. never did anything even remotely useful with it, so it never had a chance to suck. i have the same sort of faint praise for risc os and amiga os despite never really using either in their heyday. i think the lesson here is that making computers try to be useful invariably ends in madness

Dont Touch ME posted:One of you unix-y tech boomers aught to know: the first video codecs capable of doing what we would recognize as full motion video came out 5-6 years after the original next workstations, and they topped out at like 240p 15fps. quicktime could be done in software on a fast machine when it came out but mpeg1 usually required extra decode hardware cards until the late 90s, so basically no chance e; f,b

Sagebrush posted:i remember watching some quicktime HD videos in about 2004 and being utterly blown away by the quality so that's probably about when 1080p became a thing on consumer hardware. at around that time i remember buying some special edition terminator 2 on dvd and it came with an extra WMV version in 1080p that my shameful p3 733mhz was unable to play. I wound up watching it on my dad's DAW computer on a 19" CRT and it rocked.

though it is needs suiting and what i use at home; honestly the most offputting thing about fedora is the name evoking the worst m'lady-esque elements of the linux community is not a good naming convention. as if i wasn't already bringing enough shame to my family by publicly admitting to using a linux

The_Franz posted:installed fedora 34 from software update. no problems i installed it to a spare drive and aside from dash to dock everything seems to be working fine, even with nvidia drivers once i disabled wayland. surprising thankfully as well the changes they've made have made a couple of extensions i was previously using obsolete so you win some you lose some i suppose

appimages are nice from a user perspective, but as far as i know you can't bundle glibc, which is the killer feature of flatpak. It's what lets you run modern desktop applications on ancient versions of glibc like the ones in RHEL, which is why Red Hat is heavily invested in flatpak
