Linux 4.9

Useless garbage

i hate penguins

Pile of trash

Gentoo install

Wasn't this the kernel with AMDGPU support for GCN 1.0 cards

>>58011922
2016 and it's only version 4.9?

meh will stay on ubuntu kiddie

>>58011922
Not so many extravagant changes, only low level improvements.

Way to prove me wrong with literally no argument you virgin.

does linux still use unity? how can i hack like mr robot?

>>58013936
You need Gnome

bbr is great

>>58011922
I'm hype for virtually mapped stacks. Some fucking security, finally.

Now if they'd put in a mitigation for atomic refcount overflows, that'd be great.

>>58011922
did linus fix the linux filepicker already?

It's not on arch yet.

It's on you, really.

Even Debian has 4.9-rc8 in the repos

Not on 4.9 yet

>>58014396
But anon, /g/ told me Debian has old and outdated packages from years ago.

>>58014480
Debian has everything.

Debian oldstable is for old biter people who can't let go of the past
stable is rocksolid and will never let you down
testing is up to date and doesn't break
sid is cutting edge while still having the same packaging quality that makes Debian the BEST DISTRIBUTION ON EARTH

Windows will be your best option

Threadly reminder that Windows 10 is so shitty there's still more Windows 7 users than 10 users, and 10% of people who just stopped upgrading after the shitshow that was Vista.

I think you misspelled Gentoo few times. Please be more careful.

Looking forward to 4.9 hitting Ubuntu MATE so I can finally run it on my desktop.

>>58013951
>>58013936
I personally use KDE myself.

I'm waiting till it hits stable channel. I don't use mainline kernels.

Already running 4.9rc8 on my manjaro machine
Just werks
Don't understand how manjaro is even ahead of arch

i miss when arch was bleeding edge

>inb4 switch to testing repo
yeah, nah.

>>58014838
KDE is not a hacker linux though. You can merely crack WEP wifi with kde

>>58011953
Nope. AMD wanted hundreds of lines commited to the kernel, which was denied.

>>58014900
KDE is a DE, not a kernel.

>>58014925
At least get it right. That code was for their unreleased architecture. 4.9 does have AMDGPU improvements.

>>58014939
you must be new here
I am an executive and I'm running Linux KDE all the time.

i love lnux
i ple tuxkartracing as a kid
linux is fun
GIMP rocks

>>58014939
It is still not good as good with hacking as windows is though. Windows has better hacker tools, like loic and shit.

>>58015083
The New York Stock Exchange runs on Gentoo

idk, but 4.9 made my wifi card stop working so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

idk what changed, I did the upgrade same as usual (copy kernel config, make oldconfig, make), maybe one of the new options broke the wifi driver

>still on 4.4

>>58015770
did you

make modules_install

if you have then maybe the kernel option was replaced, idk m8

>>58015820
I did, so yeah no idea really. To get it to work initially I had to add the name of the firmware I needed to a line to tell it to include it in the kernel (some change related to systemd or something made it so you need to include firmware in the kernel, not as separate files), maybe that part broke.

>>58014881

godspeed

>>58015917
Then you'd get blocked silently and no one would know their shit is insecure, I don't see how that's any more responsible.

When upstream is autistic or has Oracle-tier ethics, the only policy is Full Disclosure

>>58015836
Alright so it's SystemD breaking stuff for no good reason again

>>58011922
No interesting changes compared to 4.8

>>58016197
pixel indie garbage and half assed ports = no games

>>58016216
Topkek. Let's just ignore Valve games for a start, why don't you?

You're in denial.

>>58016239
wow all 10 of them!

>>58016216
8 of the 10 top played Steam games right now have Linux support

>>58016249
There's literally thousands of steam linux games, and that includes the most popular ones.

But you probably care more about feelings than reality, you fucking consumer.

DELET

>>58016269
and 90% of them are shitty indie games

>>58016269
The worst thing is that CIV 6 didn't go linux this time around. Valve is killing linux gaming by focusing on VR instead of steam machines. The hype is gone and developers are seeing low numbers and they're not porting their new games. ;_;

>>58016318
That's a crappy argument considering ALL of Steam is 90% shitty indie games

>>58016318
That's because 90% of all games are. How biaised can you even be.

>>58016329
Steam machines were a thinly veiled threat to Microsoft trying to close down their platform, not a serious plan.

>>58016329
I bet you didn't even check the release dates. Civ V was on Win/Mac first and then ported to Linux so it's not out of question.

>>58016384
Pathetic damage control

>>58016329
>VR
Going to have the same fate as 3D movies and TV. Goddamn money grabbers shoving memes down our throat

>>58014944
Technically, the rejected code was for their HAL that is being shared with their Windows driver. Linus & co. don't like HALs very much.

>>58016402
>damage control
? It's simple math

>>58016418
VR is shitty meme. All the fucking hype just for bunch of awful tech demos.

>>58016431
Even macOS of all things has better games.

>>58016402
>Pathetic damage control
Yeah, "damage control", also known as calling out your bullshit and you having exactly zero valid arguments.

>>58016448
Linux has only shitty games. Just stop.

A little bit unrelated, but today I got a kernel update and it's the fifth time of breaks compatibility with my wireless card. Every update it breaks and then it gets fixed in the next one. What the fuck are they doing messing with a 10-years old Ralink driver anyways?

>>58016483
Why do you even care about games that much?

>>58016483
What, you want a safe space where I won't criticize you?

Half of what you say is factually wrong, the other half is hot opinions.

Does FGLRX still work?

>>58018338
Why would you want to use it? It's deprecated. The open source drivers have worked better for years now.

>>58016501
>damage control doesnt work
>lets try backpedaling

>>58018457
The open source drivers don't work very good on my laptop.

High temperature, low battery and the colors are washed out. Also general instability and I still haven't managed to get HDMI audio to work with the open source drivers. Last time I tested them on Linux 4.7.

FGLRX may be old, deprecated and proprietary but it just works.

If the open source drivers are still shit on 4.10 I will just stick to Debian Jessie.

>>58018563
Im not him

if I were to install this new kernel onto a debian stable machine, debian wouldn't have a stroke on me would it?

>>58011922
Awful. GNU/Linux? Moar like Gu-Ewwww slash Linux.

>>58013916
This is bait, right? You know Ubuntu is a GNU/Linux derivative and does use the Linux kernel, along with the GNU operating system, right? ._.

>>58018616
No.
The kernel Does Not Break Userspace, that's the number one rule.

Which means you can always switch to a new kernel and it should Just Work.

How do i get the kernel 4.9 on arch? it didn't auto update?

>>58020207
It's not released yet. Arch doesn't use the mainline kernel, but is usually a version or two behind the stable kernel. Wait a while and they will upgrade when it hits stable channel. Otherwise compile it yourself. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Kernels/Traditional_compilation

>>58011953
