expiratule

a deci Linuxu a devenit cool de 1 an. bine ca nu m-am apucat de el pana acum

De curiozitate, DreadWing, ce versiune de Ubuntu ai folosit?

Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS 64 bit de aici

Mic copil Să-ți povestesc eu cât ia să instalezi corect Wifi-ul de EEEPC 1000H pe un Trisquel.., but that's missing the point.

Pe Fedora era o corvoadă să instalezi și un driver ok de nVidia. Ubuntu all the way dacă vrei să-ți fie comod. Că preferi KDE și iei Kubuntu sau alt flavor, asta e altceva. Te uiți înainte ce desktop environment disponibil pare să te aranjeze mai bine și începi cu ăla. Că poți pune câte există, ăsta e avantajul Linux în general. Șmecher.

Also, Mint, care e bazat tot pe Ubuntu, care e bazat pe Debian, e destul de ok și oferă tot felul de Desktop Environments interesante.

Oricum, nu e atât „vina” distribuțiilor, cât faptul că producătorii de hardware nu obișnuiesc să furnizeze drivere de-a gata pentru mai multe core-uri de linux. Din punctul ăsta de vedere, Debian-based > Fedora, au suport mai bun. În general. Că, noh, nu are toată lumea chef și răbdare să facă mișmașuri cu drivere și să le recompileze la fiecare update. Ceea ce mi se pare normal. Nu ai chef să muncești tu pentru o mașină automată de espresso mai mult decât muncește ea pentru tine

SteamOS gaming performs significantly worse than Windows





OS Microsoft Windows 10 Pro (64-bit) and SteamOS 2.0 4.1.0-0 (on separate drives)
CPU Intel Pentium G3220 (Haswell), dual-core, 3.0GHz
GPU Zotac Geforce GTX660 (2GB) w/ GeForce Game Ready Driver v. 358.91
RAM 8GB DDR3-1600
MOTHERBOARD MSI H81I (mini-ITX)
STORAGE Western Digital WD Blue 7200 rpm 500GB HD x 2

Asta fiindcă e nevoie ca mulți utilizatori să adopte SteamOS înainte să apară optimizări. Deloc surprinzător, dar nu m-aș fi așteptat la o diferență atât de mare. La cum scalează, cred că e o chestie mai globală, de throughput. Oricum, rezultatele de CPU nu sunt atât de nasoale pentru SteamOS, chit că iese undeva în spate.

Windows 10 Users Considering Class Action Lawsuit Against Microsoft

It’s no secret that there are a ton of problems in Windows 10, at least on some PCs, so some of those whose computers got upgraded to this OS version, either manually or automatically by Microsoft, are now considering the possibility of starting a class action lawsuit against the company.

This idea was first posted on Microsoft’s Community forums on August 14, 2015, and since then the thread has received nearly 200 answers, most of which criticize the company for the performance of Windows 10.

Microsoft Will Not Support Upcoming Processors Except On Windows 10

Support Policy Updates for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 Customers

With Windows 7 now in extended support, we are focused on our commitment to deliver security, reliability, and compatibility to our installed base on their current systems. Redesigning Windows 7 subsystems to embrace new generations of silicon would introduce churn into the Windows 7 code base, and would break this commitment. Thus, today we are clarifying our Windows support policy:

• Windows 7 will continue to be supported for security, reliability, and compatibility through January 14, 2020 on previous generation silicon. Windows 8.1 will receive the same support through January 10, 2023. This includes most of the devices available for purchase today by consumers or enterprises.
• Going forward, as new silicon generations are introduced, they will require the latest Windows platform at that time for support. This enables us to focus on deep integration between Windows and the silicon, while maintaining maximum reliability and compatibility with previous generations of platform and silicon. For example, Windows 10 will be the only supported Windows platform on Intel’s upcoming “Kaby Lake” silicon, Qualcomm’s upcoming “8996” silicon, and AMD’s upcoming “Bristol Ridge” silicon.
• Through July 17, 2017, Skylake devices on the supported list will also be supported with Windows 7 and 8.1. During the 18-month support period, these systems should be upgraded to Windows 10 to continue receiving support after the period ends. After July 2017, the most critical Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 security updates will be addressed for these configurations, and will be released if the update does not risk the reliability or compatibility of the Windows 7/8.1 platform on other devices.

In clarifying this policy, we are prioritizing transparency with enterprises on where to find the highest reliability and best supported Windows experience: Windows 10 on any silicon, Windows 7 on the down-level silicon it was designed for, or a device on the support list. Although this silicon and platform alignment is entirely consistent with modern technology trends, we understand the need for our enterprise customers to adapt to it in the Windows context— and we stand by ready to partner with them on their Windows deployments. Companies of any size interested in upgrading to Windows 10 should contact their Microsoft technology representative today for assistance.

Microsoft will stop hiding what's inside Windows 10 updates

Microsoft's Windows 10 updates have been constant and regular since the operating system's release in July last year. While updates are always welcome, Windows 10 users don't really know what's changing when a patch gets applied. Microsoft rarely releases detailed release notes, and the updates are often applied automatically behind the scenes. To coincide with today's Patch Tuesday (the day Microsoft releases security fixes each month), Microsoft is creating a Windows 10 update history site.

We're committed to our customers and strive to incorporate their feedback, both in how we deliver Windows as a service and the info we provide about Windows 10. In response to this feedback, we’re providing more details about the Windows 10 updates we deliver through Windows Update. You'll see a summary of important product developments included in each update, with links to more details. This page will be regularly refreshed, as new updates are released.

ce imi plac mizeriile astea. mai intai scoatem complet implicarea utilizatorului in verificarea, alegerea, instalarea update-urilor sistemului de operare. scoatem userul complet din schema in ceea ce priveste acest aspect. apoi, dinttr-o generozitate enorma si buna dispozitie, ii dam totusi sansa sa mai vada ce se mai instaleaza pe calculatorul lui sub forma de update-uri.

si se mira de ce business, enterprise si corporate evita cu indarjire sa treaca la W10

[Doc]

A dracu-i indarjirea asta, ca win 10 e deja al doilea SO ca market share per total, ca e aproape la egalitate cu Win 7 in ce priveste userii Steam, ca versiunea pe 64 de biti e la fel, la egalitate cu versiunea pe 64 de biti a Win 7, global. Indarjire de indarjire.

Windows 10 sends your PC data 5500 times to Microsoft and Non-Private IPs

This happens after choosing a custom Windows 10 installation and disabling all three pages of tracking options which are all enabled by default.
The raw numbers come out as follows: in an eight hour period Windows 10 tried to send data back to 51 different Microsoft IP addresses over 5500 times. After 30 hours of use, Windows 10 expanded that data reporting to 113 non-private IP addresses.

Taking this a step further, the testing was then repeated on another Windows 10 clean installation again with all data tracking options disabled and third party tool DisableWinTracking was also installed which tries to shut down all hidden Windows 10 data reporting attempts. At the end of the 30 hour period Windows 10 had still managed to phone home with data 2758 times to 30 different IP addresses.

A further interesting fact is these tests were conducted using Windows 10 Enterprise Edition – the version of Windows 10 with most granular level of user control and far more than the standard Windows 10 Home edition used by most consumers. All of which confirms, this controversial data tracking simply cannot be stopped.

[Waaagh!]

Nebunie pura. Cred ca in curand vor descoperi ca si daca ai deconectat calculatorul de la Internet, Window 10 tot trimite date cine stie unde.

[Doc]

Prin cardul de sanatate, care contine cifra 666... nu mai stiu unde.

Teoretic, poți bloca dintr-un third party firewall absolut orice conexiune implicit, iar cînd se încearcă ceva să trebuiască să dai aprobare cu o parolă specifică, doar pentru procesele și programele pe care le consideri, ahem, vrednice. Dar e multă bătaie de cap și o parte deloc mică din programe folosesc servicii windows pentru mesagerie, deci pentru a profita de conectivitate tot trebuie să permiți schimburi de date și tot sună acasă. Nasty shit. Bine că au început GoG și Steam să promoveze linux, fiindcă pentru chestii generale și o bună parte din joace nu prea ai de ce să simți lipsa lui Win (10). Stick to 7 cît se poate.
