True, AMD used to be such giant bullshit

I'm glad we now have actual competition

Linux isn't libre anymore since 2005. Now he starts to see his own mistakes but hasn't the balls to pull the plug and just remove the blob. Cm'on it's so easy to allow unsigned firmware on your devices, just pull the vendor's balls

...sooo....????

Linus != Stallman

Linus != GNU Hurd

Linux works, Hurd doesn't.

Linux-libre works too

point not proven

both kernels require selective choice of hardware

most of the blobs don't even work properly

see nouveau

see Ralink

Nouveau doesn't actually work.

But OK.

Yeah guess what I just said

nouveau doesn't work, ralink drivers don't work

reason: blobs

*gasp*

they can't reverse engineer them, it's useless, nvidia cards only accept signed firmware

linux has put hell into his own house by allowing vendors to get away with signed blobs

I disagree.

Linux isn't a small market on servers, Nvidia would definitely care if torvalds pulled the plug on nvidia blobs

Some people like to get stuff done with their computers.

especially because of quadro

those people can install these blobs as a dkms module

where's the problem. distros do this since ages anyway

even debian separates the blobs from the kernel, linux-firmware is where it's at to provide blobs. Put a checkbox, like ubuntu does it and people are fine.

How is Linux support on the surface pro 4?? I found some discounts on Amazon...

Touch doesn't work, CPU and GPU will run at full power, you need special firmware that is not in mainline kernel

the type cover won't work either

Oh stylus??

if you're not afraid of compiling kernels, there's a patch for it

If you have a Surface already, then, sorry

If you don't, you should buy something else.

If you have a Surface already, then, sorry

I dont; I was considering it, now I'm not... Thanks anyway...

I recommend you strongly consider the Slimbooks

Or Librem 11

it's expensive I know, but they provide coreboot for it soon and it works 100% and has good specs

Just as expensive as a Surface hm?

Or more?

Or more?

I already got an Asus laptop recently, so....

hello there

Could you people advise me a repo containing vivaldi browser, please?

You can download it from this link: https://vivaldi.com/#Download

Just as expensive as a Surface hm?

they're on the same level I think.

the surface 4 is going to get cheaper though

the thing about paying such a high price for a product is, that if it's the right product, sometimes it's justified paying such a high price if the product is actually still worth the price and doesn't drop rapidly

You can probably still sell librem computers to other freetards in 5 years

Not the case on Surface lineup

yeah they are trash

U CPUs, small screens... No thanks.

And fuck standards too btw

not worth it without proper linux support

and with that I mean, proper linux-libre support. Not like on my old computer that I had to throw away because AMD decided that the blob no longer gets updated, being stuck at kernel 2.6

Actually my mom kept using it but then the PSU died

Meh. Even if Linux was supported fully... No thanks

it does not support https, does it?

thanks

You are Welcome.

I don't know, I don't use Vivaldi, just found the answer in comments.

Seems like it doesn't:

ERROR: S client not available

No https

I'm using Vivaldi at the moment. It's a nice browser, but it eats RAM like Chrome.

Oh wow

Oh wow

You can cope with the RAM eating by installing "The Great Suspender" addon from the Chrome Store easily enough, and the rest of the features of Vivaldi have made it quite a decent choice for Chrome lovers. It's like Chrome with a lotta the nastiness fixed. ;)

I use firefox

I use firefox

Aye. That's actually normally my primary browser. I'm trying out Vivaldi only because it's new to me, and because I actually kinda liked Chrome other than it bein' a memory hog. Vivaldi's better than Chrome, honestly, but I'll be goin' back to my trusty old Firefox soon. :)

Oh ok cool

When F26 will be released?

Any cloud service like hubic? Which has permanent sharing @disisdrsid

Sorry, permanent sharing???

hubic has 30days max

Really???

Say what now?

screaming

I've never seen a use for this feature, sorry...

Isn't he using Fedora too ?

At least I think because any video of his PC looks like he's running Fedora

Isn't he using Fedora too ?

i don't think that it's a real quote

but he does use fedora afaik

Funny. I find Chrome lighter than Firefox.

In what ways?

In what ways?

That I can use it along other programmes with less freezing. I was using Firefox and it was getting on my nerves.

I've experienced the opposite. I don't know if I've ever heard someone say Firefox was performing worse than Chrome from a memory point of view. Did you use many plugins or add-ons?

No. I only use them with adblocker and one or two extensions to download videos from Youtube. Chromium was the worst BTW.

At the moment, I use Chrome, Opera & Firefox, in that order. Firefox mainly to download stuff ?

how do i check if my dedicated graphics is running or the inbuilt?

Still trusting Firefox than Chrome. ?
