BobHoward posted:anything does, because windows 10 is the flattest ui ive ever seen. microsoft clearly wanted to do an elegant/minimalist design but, being microsoft, delivered something that looks like programmers did all the widget art in five minutes oh please, they used many hours making those widgets, tweaking every detail obsessively. unfortunately, being programmers, they have no taste.

i watched imagemagick use 12 GB of ram when i made a gif one day. it's a pretty recent release with the highest color depth option, so it probably converted those 1080p 8bits per component source frames to 32 bit floats per component before starting to process them

computer toucher posted:I Googled KDE and Fedora out of mild interest and noticed that they had a Web page out of which they had localized exactly one word for my language; instead of "documentation" it said "dokumentaatio". Then again, do you really want to read documentation that was halfassedly translated in 2006 by a bored AMK student and hasn't been updated since?

kde looks really good, but for some reason the windows key doesn't work. also it has a clipboard history feature which cannot be disabled and is super cool and good because it also saves passwords from your password manager

Celexi posted:it isn't about the base rate but that cpu fluctuations or intensive cpu use add a poo poo ton of input lag. if you never did anything that made that happen is because you probably never did anything that stressed the CPU, unless it were to be a usb 3 keyboard or thunderbolt/firewire with direct bus access but that doesn't exist. holy poo poo, you're doing exactly the same as audiophiles complaining about jitter with digital signals the cpu fluctuations caused input lag, this would not have happened if i had a 20 year old computer that had ps/2 ports

eschaton posted:pico and nano have kind of tried to be that, except pico uses a bunch of DEC TOPS-20 conventions instead of modern (Macintosh) conventions and nano is a version of pico infected with GNU like huitlacoche yes, i'm aware of nano, and it's the closest linux has to a usable text editor, but it uses nonstandard keys, even going as far as acknowledging that the user pressed ctrl-s and instead of saving the file, it complains to the user: "XOFF ignored, mumble mumble"
