Moar Linux!


Recommended Posts

Rich: Did you read my last post in this thread?

I agree that there is a lack of Linux coverage on the Neowin front page. But coming from Pandya and considering the quote from the IRC logs this thread is trolling. Or fishing for new trolling material.

Maybe you didnt understand me. It may have started out as a thread that is trolling or fishing for new trolling material, however, it has actually opened up a discussion that is valid, which you are starting to steer off course by posting that its a troling thread.

How about we just continue the discussion, ignoring the fact it's origin was meant for purposes other than for what it has become Mephistopheles. You are starting to look a little like a troll yourself, by posting in this manner Mephistopheles.

I'll be the first to admit, I have no idea how Linux works. I don't know anything about the distros, nor am I interested in learning anything about them. However, if you think that we should cover something in our Linux section of news please don't hesitate to take advantage of our "Submit to newsdesk" feature or post a topic in our Back Page News forum.

One of the points in the thread is that these submissions have been made.

Pretty much what sean said. I have some experience with the commands and using linux, but not a whole lot.

If I ever come across exciting news about Linux, I will try and pick it up.. but I honestly haven't seen a whole lot of Linux / Mac news that isn't already covered.

I looked at the timestamp of the last news posted in the Linux section.

I also just looked at the news posted in the BPN, all of them posted by me, brentall, Mephistopheles... the usual bunch, and reported to the newsdesk.

They are not getting posted.

I request for the Linux news section to be removed.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • We need a game update frequency setting. * Right now your recent games will be auto updated overnight, and your unrecent games won't be updated. The bifurcation of recent and unrecent is fine, but we should be able to control the update frequency for both, with any of the following options: 1. Don't auto update 2. Auto update weekly 3. Auto update overnight 3. Auto update immediately (push) i.e. When I'm playing a lot, I want my recently played games to have push updates, so if a dev releases an update at 4pm, it's already downloaded on my Xbox by the time I get home. The current overnight cadence leaves a lot of wasted time waiting for updates on slow connections. My infrequently played games in ok with deferring to overnight, or maybe weekly, but let the users control their frequency. Basing it on data and last played sounds smart but ignores the human reality that often when I'm busiest and have the least time for games is when it sucks the most to come home and find a huge update list waiting for you.
    • Genocide is intent to exterminate and both the Israeli government AND its people openly declare, even boast about their intent to exterminate Arabs. This society of sick psychopaths has even made songs about it. Zionist means believing Israel should exist as an religious ethno-state where only Jews have rights and everyone else is second class citizen. As for the blood libel thing, we already know zionists get off on killing children. We also know Israel is a safe heaven for all the pedophiles and rapists of the world. Honestly, after what we saw in the Epstein files, I wouldn't put anything past this depraved death cult. Of course all atrocities committed by tHe wOrLds mOsT mOrAl aRmY are always "unproven or taken out of context". Unfortunately for them, their soldiers are dumb enough to leave a trail of their war crimes all over social media. Then again, when you live in a society that's obsessed with death and destruction, posting videos of yourself in the act of ransacking homes and desecrating religious monuments earns you brownie points I guess. Israel is the only society in the world where people come out on the roads for the right to **** prisoners. Also claiming that the BBC said this and AP said that without so much as a link has gotten me curious. Are all zionists this dumb? I really hope you aren't getting paid for this because this is some low effort propaganda.
    • Microsoft is bringing big performance improvements to OneDrive on Mac by Taras Buria Microsoft has announced a major update for the OneDrive client on macOS. Today, the company released version 26.098, promising significantly faster sync, optimized CPU usage, a smaller memory footprint, and better energy efficiency. In a newly published blog post, Microsoft acknowledged that changes implemented in OneDrive for Mac in 2022 brought some unwanted side effects. Due to architectural changes and the need to keep the OneDrive sync engine unchanged, Microsoft created a hidden cache folder. With time, it would cause reliability and performance issues for customers. Now, Microsoft is ditching the old engine for native sync, delivering a faster, more reliable experience. As a result of this change, OneDrive for Mac now integrates more deeply into the operating system, offers about two times faster sync performance, and uses fewer system resources. While the hidden folder still exists, the app only uses it to store files that have not been uploaded yet, link file types, and macOS-related packages. In total, even when holding hundreds of files, the temporary folder does not take more than a couple of megabytes on the drive. Besides optimizations, the new sync engine enables external drive support, allowing you to keep your OneDrive folder on a removable drive (it should meet all the requirements). Microsoft is now rolling out the updated OneDrive client for Microsoft 365 Insiders. To check if your Mac has the new sync engine, go to the About tab and check the app version. If it ends with something like 26H, you are on the new engine. If not, you are on the old one. Microsoft says it will take a few weeks to complete the rollout to Insiders, but it won't say when to expect the update in the stable channel. Big performance updates for OneDrive on Mac came right after Microsoft confirmed it would soon kill document editing in Office 2019 for Mac due to expiring certificates. This change will force users to look for alternatives or switch to Microsoft 365.
    • Sorry but that makes no sense. What does using the same laptop have to do with anything?
