Another good reason to work in mph! :)

> You seem to care more about NVIDIA's image than about what the Linux community actually needs.

I find it hard to come up with a course of action that would improve NVIDIA's image among kernel maintainers without giving them what they need. He wants people to want to work with NVIDIA stuff which would obviously require both giving the maintainers what they need and doing stuff they they don't necessarily need but wouldn't mind at all.

Asking this question he doesn't just get suggestions of how to make it easier to run NVIDIA hardware on desktop Linux, but also on what about working with NVIDIA irritates the maintainers; fixing those means more maintainers *using* NVIDIA (and so testing it) if not specifically fixing it.

I've heard good things about Fedora and OpenSUSE's packaging of KDE, but my fondness for dpkg means I've not yet given them the chance.

Debian's seems less bonkers than Ubuntu's, but I'm not a KDE user so I don't know how much of that bonkers is KDE and how much is Debian's packaging of it.

Kubuntu's never really been a good way to use KDE. I don't have much love of KDE, but many people package it better than Ubuntu.

If what you want is old Gnome just use XFCE; Xubuntu in canonical-speak.

I'm not really sure that Unity is a tablet UI. They've replaced a menu with a search box, do tablet UIs normally involve more typing and less pointing?

Yeah, likewise.

You're a couple of decades late. These days Israel is ALWAYS the aggressor from what I hear.

I thought that, as with this idea of dropping Banshee was just an idea posited at UDS, rather than a decision that's been taken? They wanted to come up with plans of what to do with the rest of a 1GB/2GB USB stick.

Showing someone a fishing rod != teaching them to fish

That's exactly the sort of place I'd expect them to be recruiting.

Because they've nothing much to win from doing that?

Samsung's might be quite willing to pay $15 per device. They're probably not about to stop shipping Android because of it.

No, that's probably Bing you're thinking of.

I'd assumed he meant OpenMoko, but the answer to his question in that case is obvious.

And the best bit is that this sort of a campaign really wouldn't look out of place in the News of the World.
