  • It's only been 3 days?! I was thinking to myself "Is he on vacation?"

  • @Capa359 nah, not on vacation. just had surgery. If you haven't already, check out the second channel, TWILTalks.

  • This has got to be the 20th announcement that vsync is fixed in *nix. I'm getting a little sceptical.

  • @etnlIcarus a few people here in the comments say it fixed the tearing for them. I can't say one way or another, I'm using Nvidia now.

  • Jordan . Unified Package install sounds like a great Idea. However wasn't this concept already tried by The Now Defunct company Know as Linspire? That used a Method Called Click n Run. Where all some one had to do was look for a program I;E Kino, Python, or any others soft war programs for a verity of Linux distros . Then all the user had to do is locate the Distro on Linspires List then zing That person got a new program loaded onto his computers Hard.

  • @Freespire44 well, this wouldn't be a unified packaging system, just a unified installer (so it looks the same across all distros using it, but uses the existing packaging framework to install).

    I've used Linspire (back when it was Lindows). :)

  • im really excited for appstream

  • it was Microsoft hackers.

  • Oh noes, oopen source being hacked? Obviously the MAC is next

  • @thisweekinlinux Yeah but the same people were saying the same thing not long ago, specifically about fglrx. Being a *nix user, I live by the mantra 'results may vary' but I get the distinct impression that the power of suggestion is getting the better of people, especially since tearing is something that comes and goes on a day-by-day basis, depending on timing, load and the video source. Bridgeman says it might be fixed, people watch one video, then stop paying attention and proclaim it fixed.

  • @invnd1987 neither, really. they're both pretty heavy, and I don't have much use for a full office suite. I use Google Docs for most things.
