Here in Finland, it has not been yet decided which time is the one we stay on.
In Finland, we had poll about whether to stay on DST or winter time. Result was 52% in winter time and 48% in DST. Of course because this was a public poll results are only giving a direction, but it is nowhere near 99% vs 1%.
I myself really do not care. If we all go to DST, then slowly and gradually our wake-up hours will shift little bit later and later, until we see that when previously we were living in (for example) 7-22 wake-up hours, then after years of permanent DST wake-up hours shift for 8-23.
It really would not matter. People to tend to go to sleep too late anyway, and wake up with too little sleep.
It is more so that those older operating systems does not implement WPA2 correctly (eg. they do not support retransmission). Newer OSes (and ones which implement standard more tightly) are more vulnerable.
You're using a study done before Y2K when Bill Clinton was President to justify what Gnome is doing with the GUI today?
It was not useable, it was a confusing mess....
It was response to earlier post which said that desktop was perfectly usable two decades ago. That study points out that no, it was not perfectly usable back then.
Well, I don't actually doubt the fanless part - I suppose most of the modern cpu's can run fanless - they just throttle quite a lot.... I just doubt that you can run it without heatsink.
Network interface naming has nothing to do with systemd. Reason why your ethernet adapter was suddently named as enp0s19 is because of this: "udev supports a number of different naming schemes. The default is to assign fixed names based on firmware, topology, and location information. This has the advantage that the names are fully automatic, fully predictable, that they stay fixed even if hardware is added or removed".
You will get still paginated output, without wordwrap (not sure what this is using as pager, is this something built in?).
Finally >journalctl --no-pager
Will show you plain output without pager.
Yeah, it seems that defaults are little bit strange, and I do not understand why there must be that default pager (without wordwrap) at all. And I don't know where the pager is choosen from, I do not have either PAGER or SYSTEMD_PAGER set (this is Ubuntu). And actually, setting pager does not seem to help
Actually, line wrapping can be switched from the next menu to the right (where you see the LN xx, COL xx). It is not buried so far (at least in Gedit 3.22)
I'm sorry but no Linux system comes even slightly close to the amount of support you get from Windows, Windows Vista is only now having its free support end, Windows 7 will continue to get updates until 2020 and Windows 8.1 gets patches until 2023...can anybody show me even a single Linux distro that gets free security patches without forcing the user on the upgrade treadmill for this long?
Centos comes to my mind (and of course RHEL). Centos releases are supported for about 10 years, which is about in same level as Windows 7 support.
Centos 5 was released April 2017, and its support is ending 31 March 2017.
There is lots of things systemd does what sysvinit does not. For example:
* whole cgroups stuff * Make service-private/tmp space * Isolating services from network * making directories read-only or inaccessible for service * sevice monitoring * dependency-based service startup
This powerdevil/upower is an example. There is no going back to pm-utils for upower, even though it used to support it. Now, you need either to use systemd or some ConsoleKit2 that would behave in a similar fashion.
How it is systemd's fault if upower decides to drop support to pm-utils? Maybe upower maintainers should be asked why they deprecated pm-utils in favor of systemd?
You know what the problem with that is? Why on earth does KDE even includes power management? And network manager and and and. All those should be just deamons or command line utilities common to all the distros.
Maybe because laptop user expects to be able to change screen brightness and other power management settings & wifi networks using KDE GUI?
Actually this has been taken to account. If your income has changed drastically from last year, you can request your fines to be rated based on your current year income.
What is the problem on Gnome if you have multiple virtual desktops and lots of windows on each of them? Virtual desktops work about just like in Gnome 2, except that they are dynamic by default - they are created when needed and removed when they are empty. And I would say moving windows to different virtual desktops is much easier under Gnome 3 than what it was under Gnome 2. Under Gnome 2, if you had lots of windows open on one virtual desktop, the task bar was starting to get unusable - it was really hard to find correct window from the full task bar with really small icons. It is much easier under Gnome, when you can see window previews on overvime 2, since so much contribution effort are now given to MATE project for example. I will not be surprised that MATE will overtake Gnome 3 in a few years. I fact, I hope this will be the case, because projects that are unable to understand his users base will see there contribution effort going down over time.ew screen. It will get crowded as well, but not as fast as with Gnome 2. And how exactly Gnome 3 breaks apps with multiple windows? Multiple terminals? Or Dia? I haven't seen any breakage.
I totally agree. Gnome 3.10 which comes with OpenSUSE 13.1 is good and usable desktop environment. With few extensions it is almost perfect. After using Gnome 3.10 for several months, it is really hard to try to go back to KDE or almost any other system - they feel really restrictive.
What i especially like in Gnome 3 are: - ALT+TAB which finally works how it should (shows windows from all workspaces and groups windows by applications). All windows from all workspaces must be shown because I have no idea in which workspace the window is what I want to use next. And by grouping windows by applications, it is much quicker to locate the window I really want. - It is much easier to manage & move applications to other workspaces using mouse compared to for example Gnome 2 or KDE behavior. - Overview is great way to find "lost" applications with its big previews. And its search is excellent. - dynamic workspaces are great idea
What I don't like or what needs improvement: - Access to systray icons and notifications has been quirky. In somewhere around Gnome 3.8 it gained big improvements though. - Applications view in overview really requires some kind of grouping by application type. There is application folders but I feel it insufficient,
All minimized windows still show up in overview. So either moving mouse cursor to top-left or pressing Super key (Win key), and then clicking them will show them. Minimized windows also show in ALT+TAB or ALT+{key above tab}.
I've tested Gnome 3 on kvm virtual machine. I used Fedora 18, and it did seem to work rather well. Also, I have Ubuntu 12.10 installation with vino enabled, and I connect to it using remmina - and it too works pretty well, even when I connected over DSL line.
Llvmpipe option should just automatically reduce all animation effects to minimum levels and it is all fine even on little bit older hardware too.

You're fucking kidding me?!?!?

Is that true? I really doubt that, E5-2679v4 CPU is 20-core 200W TDP cpu.
Also, its in totally different pricepoint - over $2500 USD, so I do not know where this "closest rival" comes from.

Yeah, I actually realized now what is the issue.
If you run
>journalctl | less
You will get normal less pager with wordwrap
If you just run
> journalctl
You will get still paginated output, without wordwrap (not sure what this is using as pager, is this something built in?).
Finally
>journalctl --no-pager
Will show you plain output without pager.

And I don't know where the pager is choosen from, I do not have either PAGER or SYSTEMD_PAGER set (this is Ubuntu). And actually, setting pager does not seem to help
One small thing to start: how the fuck is it not the default behaviour of journalctl to linewrap so you can actually see all the errors?
It is definetely not journalctl's job to linewrap anything - your terminal should do that.
Or press Super+H.
Or click title bar with right mouse button and select minimize.
Have you tried googling?
There is quite a comprehensive documentation available from Redhat: https://access.redhat.com/docu...
Also, Archlinux has always good wiki articles, and systemd one is here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/ind...
One good introduction is on Linux.com: https://www.linux.com/learn/un...

There is extension "Activities configurator" which gives you configuration options for the hot corner.

It is wastly different.I've been using Gnome 3 for a quite a while, and it works pretty well for me.
>turn on lights
Good start to the day. Pity it's going to be the worst one of your life. The light is now on.
Bedroom, in the bed
>get up
Very difficult, but you manage it. The room is still spinning. It dips and sways a little.
