“Obligatory fuck the HDMI forum and the HDMI spec”

Amen to that

I encountered that a few times growing up too, I’ll never forget the ravenous way they murdered every marble they saw without a hint of concern for the devastated marble families left behind .

Which is terribly underperforming when you consider how many more dogs exist in proximity to humans compared to hippos. If a prankster wizard suddenly conjured a few million hippos into homes around the world you can bet they wouldn’t settle for merely snuffing out 50x-70x more humans. On the upside, they’d definitely chomp a lot of people we don’t like too

And Mandriva itself was an attempted resurrection of the old Mandrake distribution (which was sorta the Ubuntu of its day). Really hoping OpenMandriva manages to make a go of it considering the ringer those folks have been through.

…what?

A busted kernel module/driver/plug-in/whatever that triggers a bootloop is going to require intervention on any platform no matter whether the code happens to be published somewhere out on the internet or not. On top of that, Windows allows you to control/remove 3rd party kernel drivers just like on Linux, which is exactly what many of us have been stuck doing on endless devices for the last three days.

I fully advocate for open-source software and use it where I can, but I also think we should do that by talking about its actual advantages instead of just making up nonsense that will make experienced sysadmins spit out their coffee.

Unless your server was running Crowdstrike and also hosted in a time machine, yes it is.

Huh? Crowdstrike is an antivirus product, you’re only affected if you bought and installed it on your Windows devices. Crowdstrike also had issues with their Linux version a few weeks ago, but that one was thankfully less severe.

Only if they manage Crowdstrike systems, thankfully.

I believe they actually adopted it for their Tizen OS, unless I completely invented that memory.

Do they (or whatever’s left of them) have a license to x86_64, or is it just x86?

Is MIPS still around? I know it was used a lot in embedded stuff but last I heard they were shutting down development of new MIPS chips.

Yay!

It might help if there were a headline with actual information instead of vague clickbait.

Looks like a great set of updates!

Considering Unity’s path to profitability basically seems to be “layoffs and prayers” I suspect you’re not far off :/

Nah that guy eventually wandered off and seems to do a bunch of silicon valley VC nonsense now: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Pincus

Are you implying they list…less than four reasons?

“Wayland” doesn’t support any GPU’s, it’s the job of each GPU driver to support Wayland (and Nvidia’s now does).

Hopefully this will make it in as an update for currently supported kernels, but if not it should be in the upcoming 6.8 release:

Good god, someone who actually read the OP’s question and replied with information respondent to it instead of just shrieking “how dare you not use the distro I like” at them. I was starting to think that was banned around here :)
