Linux Mint 17.1 Cinnamon and MATE Editions Released
linuxscreenshot writes The team is proud to announce the release of Linux Mint 17.1 'Rebecca' MATE. Linux Mint 17.1 is a long term support release which will be supported until 2019. It comes with updated software and brings refinements and many new features to make your desktop even more comfortable to use. Linux Mint 17.1 MATE edition comes with two window managers installed and configured by default: Marco (MATE's very own window manager, simple, fast and very stable); Compiz (an advanced compositing window manager which can do wonders if your hardware supports it). Among the various window managers available for Linux, Compiz is certainly the most impressive when it comes to desktop effects. Screenshots can be found here.
Because when you have the source code, the competences and the time you don't have to compromise. Reverse example: don't like the fixed menu at the top in OSX? Fork and fix it. Sorry, you can't. Either you adapt or buy something else.
"Because, in open source land, every single difference of opinion ends up being a fork" Observational...yeah, sure.
Age has nothing to do with being unable to deal with technology. Some people are just idiots or choose to be helpless. This cuts across all age groups. So you can have some ancient person pushing 100 that's better able to adapt to new tech than one of her children or even one of her grandchildren.
A lot of the people that can handle new things could always handle new things and will be able to handle new things when they're past 90.
A Pirate and a Puritan look the same on a balance sheet.
