Retard

>>56591221
There is nothing wrong with Fedora it's not only the best distro but the best OS.

>>56591243
fedora isn't an OS

>>56591243
Fedora isn't the only distro to ship with GNOME

>>56591287
it's the best gnome implementation tho

>>56591275
yes it is

>>56591304
I'd reluctantly agree.

As much as fedora shits me, it does get GNOME right.

>>56591305
I guess it is. You sure proved me wrong.

>>56591166

it's in the panel's firmware, can't be disabled

To get some (reasonably common) packages you need to find obscure repos, it manages to be less stable than Arch at times, things seem to break every couple of versions, etc.

It's fine if you are used to it, but it does get annoying.

>>56591122
>Linux torvalds uses GNOME 3
It doesn't say anywhere in the article which GNOME he uses. The laptop in the photo is not his.

>>56591389
rpmfusion has all that stuff tho. it's been really stable for years.

>>56591389
All you need is RPM fusion. For Chrome you can download it from the chrome website.

The only reason Arch has so many packages is because no one reviews the builds.

>>56591378
Looks disgusting desu

>>56591366
it's built into the website to fade in
you can't fool me faggot shill

>>56591378
You found a way to Mint look actually shittier than it did already... Good job bud!

The only reason Linus uses Fedora is because the Debian installer fucked up once in the 90's and he never went back to it.

>>56591416
Those are not builds, those are compile scripts which you are encouraged to tweak/edit/review before compiling

>>56591404

It can be disabled on the QHD panel.
Source: I disabled it. Currently running Fedora 24 on a XPS 13. It's like the FOSS version of "just werks" macfags like to spout, except with decent coreutils.

That's the new ubuntu unity 8 terminal. It's not out yet.

>>56591510
But it's impossible. It's literally baked into the panel's firmware. Done totally outside of the PC/MOBO. There's no way to change it. Literal opposite of "FOSS"

QHD makes everything too tiny for a laptop that size and DPI scaling is complete ass even in 2016

>>56591543
>it's literally baked into the firmware
Oh and firmware is written in marble for all eternity? Have you never flashed a BIOS?
Just google it. The QHD panel is reflashable and Dell released a Windows program that disables that """feature""". The FHD has no such connection.

>>56591558
>>56591568
Gnome has fantastic DPI scaling actually.

Enjoy your 768p screens I guess.

>>56591579
>using GNOME

No.

Even Linux in the article bitches about its DPI scaling.

>>56591603
>Enjoy your 768p screens I guess.
No, 1080p is plenty. But, you can't disable the auto brightness bullshit on the 1080p version.

>>56591607
Ok find me a DE with better dpi scaling. I so far have found 2 programs that sucked at it, neither included by default in Gnome: Pinta and Inkscape. Even mpv supports it fine.

>>56591636
I won't, because I don't want DPI scaling period. I want the fucking 1080p screen, and I want to turn off its auto brightness crap.

>>56591621
QHDfag here. If the FHD screen was as good accuracy-wise and allowed disabling the adaptive crap I would have bought it. Otherwise it's a huge asperger trigger for me.

>>56591378
Mint is well known to be an unsafe distribution that ships with software it isn't licensed to have by default.

>>56591636
Any program using GTK2 or Qt looks totally fucked on hi dpi still.

>>56591667
It's 2016, grandpa. Stop using GTK2 and Qt apps then.

>>56591655
Explain.

Linux Mint does not issue advisories because they issue fixes instead, which is frankly far more useful.

>>56591667
>>56591678
There's also that most programs outside of those like browsers also have their own special snowflake settings for DPI which makes it a real pain in the ass to keep them all managed.

>>56591724
Most of this article has been debunked, such as the bullshit about blacklisting.

>>56591706
That's worse than using a QHD screen. You now have shit scaling and less battery life, not to mention a higher price tag. I'd use Windows at that point, but again: Gnome 3 is great at high dpi.

Nice source.

Actually if you look back at my photo, that's not even the case.
>>56591378

>>56591768
How about the OS itself.

He claims you can't update the kernel in Mint using the GUI, but it's right there in "Update Manager", "View", "Linux Kernels".

What he's pissed about is that it doesn't autoupdate by default, but you can tick a box to do that

>>56591878
And there's a reason it isn't set to autoupdate, because they want to make sure it doesn't break any packages first.

Fine if that does make it insecure, but you shouldn't be using Linux Mint if you knew what you were doing with Linux anyways or doing anything more than using a web browser (e.g. hosting anything at all)

>>56591884
>>56591878
I don't think pretty much any DE updates the kernel automatically...

1:does your current computer give you that comfy warm fuzzy when you use it?
2:Can you access everything in less than 2 seconds?(not judging "how it's done" you want icons? you should use icons.)

If if one or both of these are a no, something is wrong.

I was implying it doesn't, but in Xubuntu it does and I have found no way to fix it

Would you recommend me to try it out?

>>56592068
It's just ubuntu, there's nothing different about it save for it being xfce, if you change the theme to arc the desktop text will fuck up

>>56592068
xubuntu is awesome. i used ot use arch openbox etc. xubuntu is solid. just make sure yo use conpton. avoid screen tearing

Both Fedora and GNOME 3 suck.

>>56595726
>Both Fedora and GNOME 3 suck.
Literally this.

>However, getting that hardware to work and play well with the Gnome desktop isn't easy. As Torvalds explained in another post, it "has the same resolution as my desktop, but apparently because the laptop screen is smaller, Gnome seems to decide on its own that I need an automatic scaling factor of 2, which blows up all the stupid things (window decorations, icons etc) to a ridiculous degree".
Yeah, it just werks.. there it is, the Linux creator himself struggling with basic things. Fucking freetards.

I have GNOME on Arch just so when people see my meme tiling wm in Gentoo and say "I see what they mean by 'Linux isn't usable as a desktop yet'" I can show it to them and perhaps get them to change. It has worked more times than you would expect.

>>56591342
by who tho?

Linus is a Redhat stockholder, his net worth comes from that. Why wouldn't he pick OS made by company he partly owns

>>56591127

me too

How many desktop environments does everyone run.

I have 4 installed. xfce, cinnamon, gnome, and mate. Only reason I have cinnamon is for whatever reason fedora installs it along with xfce unless you installed from the xfce spin iso.
