That's a fine choice too, and you can make Fedora act quite a lot like Mint if you desire. Fedora packages Mint's Cinnamon desktop and does well keeping it up to date. It's very painless to install....

I'd consider this to be one of the most turbulent, experimental, and progressive periods for Linux in years. The Unity/GNOME 3 controversy has just settled down, Steam/mainstream gaming is...
I strongly agree with this. Given how well the Radeon driver progressed lately, there are fewer reasons to use the terrible FGLRX driver. I really recommend you give the open source driver a go. Make...
I think this is a justifiable move by Intel. Wayland has been in the works for years and is well-established, so why should everyone cater to Ubuntu's separate and unique product? If Canonical wishes...
Get a ThinkPad T430 (or T430s) and select the Intel wireless option when ordering. Great machine for Linux overall.

I made the...
Still higher than $500, but the older generation ThinkPad T420 can still be bought some places for much less than the current generation:...
ThinkPads, particularly the T series. Configure a ThinkPad T430 with Intel graphics and Intel wireless and you should have absolutely no problems with Linux, but it has no touch screen. If you wait a...
This is correct. The Chromebook you have does not use an x86 processor, but instead an ARM processor. Remember back when Macs had major compatibility issues? It was because they were using PowerPC...
This has been done by a third party a long while back. Didn't look for it, but it should be easy to find.
@ the OP:
>> I think there should be a desktop environment that not only ...
This might not be helpful depending on who you use Ventrilo with, but I've found that Mumble (check Ubuntu Software Centre or their website) is by far the best VoIP client for gaming. Very little...
From the commands, it looks like something from a previous PPA causing a problem (x-swat). I haven't used this PPA since around August.
Output:
$ apt-cache policy libgl1-mesa-dev:i386...
I'm using Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS with kernel 3.2 and the NVIDIA proprietary driver (nvidia-experimental-310 package).
A project I'm following requires the libgl1-mesa-dev:i386 package to be installed....
What happened to the new icon theme though? Canonical hired the guy behind Faenza and Faience. There was supposed to be a new icon theme for RR but I haven't heard tell of it since around November.
Because obviously the desktop is the only relevant platform.
What does having online search results have to do with Ubuntu being a "never ending community driven lovefest for linux enthusiasts"? I don't think that's what anybody is concerned about. I want...
Your OS isn't the internet. Having data mining regarding personal files (dash search) enabled by default shouldn't be acceptable to users, especially when the target audience for Ubuntu (non-geeks,...
Raring is not out yet. You're using a preview version (probably a beta or daily build) which is intended for early testers and quality assurance. For release schedule, see the wiki page here:...
Wow, I guess I was wrong. Pretty surprising change for Opera.
Opera is *not* based on Chromium. Where did you hear this?
My understanding is that Opera ditched Presto for WebKit. Switching the rendering engine for another is not the same as rebasing the...
Intel HD 4000 graphics should be able to play CS:S on very low settings. It won't be optimal but it should work. I don't have Intel graphics, so take this with a grain of salt.
Since Intel uses...
Thanks for reporting back :)
Good to know everything worked out for you.
Are you really this worked up over a Counter-Strike post?
That's fine. However having a mouse that speeds up is still inaccurate compared to one that does not, even if you were quite good at...
As someone who has spent a lot of time playing competitive FPS games such as Quake and Counter-Strike, I have to jump on this :)
There's a reason why pros disable mouse acceleration- it's...
