nVidia fanboy since switching to Linux. A combination of them releasing their new unified driver, the latest nvidia chips being notoriously hard for nouveau, and now this, I think my next card is going to come from AMD

Bernie Sanders is a Social Democrat. People like him have always been called "Social Democrat". He is not any type of liberal, in any decade, ever. He fits the self-description most liberals have of themself which is always been a lie.

still less of a scumbag that most of congress. Far less credible as well. If you think thats bad, start asking how the prison industry works, how drugs get approved, or oh yeah, legalized insider trading. US Congress.

Plus, the amount of people that died, or litteral wars started by Kim for profit? none.

How many people did Kim have arrested or tortured for getting in his way? none

So, yeah, he's a scumbag. But he's far less dirty then most media figures and US politicians, because his crimes are far smaller in scope, and less destructive in nature?

Assange has his own personal problems, but again, slight compared to what we have running the show. I wouldn't vote for, or support either is a leader, but I do support both as sources of information, because of which they do a better job, and are far more altrusitic than what we have now.

If you start waiting for someone with a perfect record, you'll be waiting a long time with no friends.

like who?

Kim Dotcom and Jullian Assange are a fuckton more credible than 90% of US pundits and politicians.

It really depends. What do you want out of your desktop. If you want it to "just work", stick with the default mint desktop, and let automatic updates simply update your machine when it tells you.

Firefox and chromium work just as well on linux as windows, and those are your only too browsers that you should give a fuck about. Also, VLC is in most major repos, and works just as well on linux.

Stick with mint. In fact. I'd simply install the LTS version, and upgrade when you change PCs.

Here seems to be the game plan going back as least as far as the Salem Witch Trials. Lets find people who are already ostracized from society and blame them for societies ills.

No need to worry about some pro-athletes beating or murdering people, or frat boys in their perpetual rape and disorderly conduct sprees. Just find someone on the skirts of society to blame.

no, this is typical psychology industry creating problems to solve.

notably absent from the studies are frat boys, pop stars, pro-athletes, or anyone who has objectively worse behavior but makes more money to the system.

I mean we could have said athletics have a rape and violence problem, but the media tends to blur it into "all men do this".

What the anti-systemd crowd doesn't seem to get is that they are not most users. As far as the old init system, it needed to go.

I currently use many distros that run systemd to include a RH7 derrivative, and I can only say good things about it.

I fucking hate it when some doosh politician, lawyer, or communications major type keeps bringing up how profit motive makes everyone tick.

They've basicly projected their own greed and psychopathic tendencies on everyone else.

mostly spied on big industrial firms for other big industrial firms who where paying moonlighting employees.

so aparantly they don't really care about freedom. The irony is biting. Cut off your nose to spite your face. While I certainly believe its OK to draw Muhammad, even lampoon him.(along with any and all other religeous figures) and in fact I promote it, you're a total hypocrit if you want to ban the koran. In fact you've proved your just as crazy as the gunman.

This cycle's slate of republican canidates is so packed with FAIL is unbelievable. Most tollerable in the pack is....Rand Paul, who at least gets a handful of things right. But put her next to Ted "Obamacare for the internet" Cruz, and of course yet another member of the Bush family. Yes Jeb is looking to run in 2016.

which is far more debian's doing than Ubuntu. Debian are the real people who make an operating system out of parts, and do most of the heavy lifting of stiching it all together

Like most other failed needless canonical projects, bazar and upstart, its going to be abandoned, and Ubuntu will eventually run wayland. Which is what Canonical could have done in the first place, perhaps contributed to the development of wayland, which could have helped reduce the amount of time it takes to get it in release condition.

in your dreams. If you where you'd make a non-systemd distro that doesn't suck. Most of you who hate systemd are loudmouths who aren't half as compitant as you think you are, because 90% of your anti-systemd complaints are entirely unfounded. First rate conspitard grade crap.

if your that l33t, go run Temple OS on bare metal, or GTFO.

noobs deserve freedom too.

Also, I recommend mint for noobs. Much easier, less fail.
