Open Source 3D Nvidia Driver Is Ready For Fedora 13
An anonymous reader writes "Red Hat has already been using the Nouveau X.Org driver in Fedora for providing display and 2D support, but with their next release (Fedora 13) they will be making open-source 3D acceleration readily available to those using Nvidia graphics cards. Red Hat has packaged the Nouveau 3D driver in Fedora 13 and what makes it interesting — besides being an open source 3D driver that was written by the community by reverse engineering Nvidia's closed-source driver — is that it's one of the first drivers to use the Gallium3D driver interface. Phoronix has tested out this Gallium3D driver for Nvidia GPUs in a Fedora 13 daily build and found it to run with a variety of OpenGL games, with benchmarks being included that compare it to Nvidia's official driver. The performance is far from being on the same stage as Nvidia's official Unix driver."
1. Obsession over K: All KDE developers have a fetishistic, homosexual "K" fetish. If you take a look at KDE software, you'd notice that most if not all software names begin with the letter K. It's frustrating to see the letter "K" staring at you from every where like a two-bit faggot. There's Kmenu, Kaffine, K3B, KDawson, KKK, etc. "K" isn't the sweetest letter of the alphabet, in fact it sounds like a sharp gag, as in Koughing on Kock. So sticking a "K" in front of every name makes it every bit as gay as the iPods and iPhones without the "Kool factor".
2. Too much menu-bloat: KDE has way too many options. If Gnome were Windows XP, then KDE would be Vista or 7 - more petty superficial options which give the user the impression of Kontrol while ultimately doing jack shit. Sure, customizations are all good and nice, I don't want to be presented with a fuckload of options while changing the wallpaper. Take a look on "Configure Konqueror" option in Konqueror-the default browser for KDE. All those options and not a single NoScript or AdBlock, the shit that counts.
3. Package management: Synaptic is the fucking best, period. You'd think that they'd get the one thing which should tell the operator what the fuck is going on, the package manager, right. But the Kooks thought,
Adept fucking sucks. It dosen't show the size of packages or their dependencies. Would it hurt to add Synaptic instead of trying to be Kool? Which leads me to the next point...
4. KDE's software sucks: KDE developers choose software on the basis whether or not they have an integral "K" in it rather than the quality of software. So you will find bloated shitware like Konqueror which makes Firefox look like Lynx in comparison. K3B's messy UI looks like something a tweeking prima donna would crank out pantsless with porn in the VCR and Chinese food containers all over the mattress -- crap, just a whole lot more of it.
5. File navigation: As most of you know KDE uses both Konqueror and Dolphin for file navigation. It's like one of the more zoophilic devs saw dolphinsex.org and thought it would be cute to add a furry element to KDE. This makes navigation every bit as confusing as the KDE devs' sexual orientations. Pick one and stick to it, don't be whores.
6. Konfusing: KDE is a Klusterfuck. Straightforward users will be pissed off by the level of stupid customizations. It's no wonder that Kubuntu is the red-headed bastard stepchild of Ubuntu. KDE users like to believe that they are smarter and more powerful, in the sense that MSCEs are "engineers" because they know how to click menus 'n' shit.
7. The Wallet: In Konqueror if you save password for some website, this 'wallet' password pops up and in order to save the password you have to type another password in the wallet. Hell! Imagine doing this for each and every gay or zoo porn website which asks for a password. Sure, some might argue that it is a security feature, if not letting your jealous boyfriends have a reason to beat your ass is a "security feature" which is moot if your gay jealous boyfriend gets to watch you type both passwords over your shoulder.
