I use both the integrated GPU and the external one on my desktop (I'm running an Intel Core i5 3570K here) and run less important monitors on the iGPU, and sometimes OpenCL items on it as well.
You missed where they're moving away from that X (and XDMCP is currently broken in Fedora anyway, and has been for a few years now). And don't be so sure that my power-guzzling SGI systems have less IO bandwidth and less RAM then a cell phone does. Plus the OS is much nicer to work with and works far better then Android or iOS does anyway.
Yeah, it's not as though other implementations of X11 ever existed, and since the codebase is so screwed up it's a good thing that the people that managed X.org won't get to screw up again. Oh wait...
Plenty of valid reasons for the average person to use US units over metric. Hell, the divisible-by-12 that the US units tend to follow is a lot better then base 10 when you think about it.
Makes one of us. The VPN software that I am required to use to connect to my clients at work does not work with Windows 10 to start, and my laptop's GPU (Quadro FX 880m) is out of the question thanks to Windows Update constantly installing the wrong driver and breaking everything. Solaris 11, on the other hand, handles everything without issue, with X11 and Nvidia drivers out of the box (unlike Windows or Linux)....
I'm going to make this nice and easy for you - what Fedora does, becomes RHEL. And for the real world (where most people use Linux, not in their basements) RHEL is the only Linux that matters.
Another one - is there a fully compatible equivalent to X -query $hostname? I should have the option to connect to servers on my network however I need/choose to. I have users that use ssh to do remote X over a VPN to Solaris boxes, etc; and these all need to not break. And it's important to keep the heat on Fedora because what ends up in Fedora will be in RHEL 8.
Personally, I think I'm going to end up with a lot of unhappy users, or end up with Solaris workstations being deployed with the direction Linux is headed these days (oh hell, maybe I'll be able to get work to pay to revive my SGI O2 and use that as a daily workstation. It's perfect for everything but web browsing - I've got the full Adobe suite (Acrobat, Illustrator, Photoshop) on there too, and I can use Word Perfect for documents. My Octane would be a bit heavy to transport to work, though it's a lot more powerful then the O2...)
I still love my Octane. And I've got a second one sitting here as well, that I'll setup one of these days (and I've got a V6 GPU to add to it when I do!). IRIX is just so nice to work with compared to modern operating systems.
I'd love that myself. PPC made Apple different, and cool in a way. And my G4 PowerMac is still running fine (I have a quad G5 that needs a little love before it is running fine again, but with 4xCPU and 16GB of RAM it is still a beast.)
You can use Disk Utility in OS X to shrink your OS X partition, giving you space to do your Linux install (I made the space on my 2006 MacBook Pro (Core 1 Duo), but never actually installed it). I've only done dual boot on PowerPC-based Macs, never on the Intel ones.
And LPT1! I have to enable them in the BIOS on my desktops, but both systems have the options to set the serial port(s) to COM1/COM3 or COM2/COM4, with the Interrupts listed, and the Parallel port gets similar treatment.
I'm running an i5 3570K and GTX 770 on my desktop - I don't think I currently have any games that I have to turn down settings from Max (with the exception of a super over-crowded custom game of SC2, but my friends computers usually slow down before mine). And I've had a few games that weren't lightweight on there, like the Batman Arkham series (City and Origins both loaded it up, but I didn't have to turn anything down). War of the Vikings hit the CPU hard for a while, but it's my understanding that was poor optimization more so then anything else. There again, looking at my Steam list most of my games might not be what the young gaming crowd is playing (Small sample of the game list that I've at least touched this year: DOTA2, CS:GO, Ballistic Overkill, Goat Simulator, L4D2, Fall of Cybertron, Injustice: Gods Among Us, Rocksmith 2014, War of the Vikings, Audiosurf 2, Arkham Origins, D3, and SC2)
Running off of an SSD certainly helps me a lot too.
Not what they mean by supporting. Building it isn't good enough. If you say your software supports i586 then it needs to be tested on a Pentium I, i686 on Pentium II and III, etc.

No. First you have to have an actual goal in order to fail.

I always liked AfterStep better to be honest. Also fast as lightning.

My Athlon certainly heated a room up. I have a FX-8120 that makes a good bit of heat too (compared to my Intel systems (Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge)).
Don't forget FreeNAS and TrueNAS!

Sometimes - much less bloat back in those days.
There is plenty of Linux hardware out there, in the professional world. Even more so when you step up to the workstation and server level.
Proprietary cables? The last Mac I saw that used non-standard cables was in the 90s (using a PPC 603e) with Apple Desktop Bus.
I'd love that myself. PPC made Apple different, and cool in a way. And my G4 PowerMac is still running fine (I have a quad G5 that needs a little love before it is running fine again, but with 4xCPU and 16GB of RAM it is still a beast.)
Running on modern POWER hardware? I'd love to see OS X on a POWER 8.

You forgot to add in your SCSI controller! Or in my case my SB16 had an IDE controller on it that needed to be either configured or disabled...

I'll settle for Kings Quest.
Personally I think it peaked with KDE 3.x.

Never played with Hercules, but I have done CGA...
