Thanks for the effort. I have a Clevo W650RC running Ubuntu 16, almost the same hardware as the author but with an extra gtx950m gpu. I own 4-5 Humble bundles and claimed all Steam keys, which makes installing those games, installable, playable and therefore recommendable. Sometimes I would run with the Intel gpu, and most of the games still ( I am pretty sure all of them) run, but of course much slower. I also bought an Steam controller and really like the setup, most games would pick up the button mapping. The only thing which sucks donkey balls at the moment is tearing under Nvidia + Linux, either in videos games, browser etc..- Also I want to add, that I own Serious Sam 3, Tomb Raider and Shadow Warrior, and I must say that the ports of these games is just top notch.
I see, so I guess Mint has some combination of drivers (kernel + nvidia) which just work for your system. Good for you! Thanks for answering. Maybe I will take a look into LM!
Hey man, could you elaborate on that a bit or point to a tutorial? I am running Kubuntu 16 on a Skylake+950M laptop, and I can either use Intel or Nvidia but not both at the same time. There is Bumblebee, but my machine freezes on startup....
"...but I had to move away from it because our company decided to go native on all fronts.."
Wouldn't that be reason to stick or turn to Qt in the first place? Or what am I missing ?
Not actually true. I have a simple puzzle game running in iOS with mocl. Lisp does the Model+Controller part and the View is in ObjectiveC. Once the game is running I can change states like level-up/down, etc. and the changes are reflected in real-time. I cannot change functions like in a true CL environment on the desktop, but I can definetly change global things to see if e.g. my flow works...
Many Linux installers suffered for years the situation that you would enter you password in the setup process with a different keymap than the one you got once the system then loaded, e.g. y-z were mismatched cause I was using QWERTZ instead of QWERTY. I think I saw something similar lately with on of the OSX'es.
In regards to the Speccy: there is still a nice community around it, developing even new hardware for it: e.g. you can easily attach SD cards or newer hard disks to it, and boot speccy games in a second, there is networking etc.... go to worldofspectrum!
Speaking for me, always MOBI, cause most PDF's look shitty on my Kindle. MOBI can always be scaled on a font basis, while PDFs are enlarged as whole pages making them bigger than the screen. Not sure how this behaves on bigger devices like iPad Air etc....
Besides that: Technical books are not meant for E-Readers. E.g: I regret buying "Paradigms of Artificial Intelligence Programming: Case Studies in Common Lisp" for Kindle, cause the code snippets are hardly readable and technical books are meant being read (sometimes in a non stringent order) and worked thru, with jumping back and forth, completely different like novels.
This is heavily dependend on your hardware. In June I visited Australia, and technically speaking it was a nightmare using an iPhone5 (Greyhound Buses worked 80% of the time, Hostels like 30%). All Android users had a much better Wifi experience. Now back here in Berlin I see the same trend. I started a new job and I am staying each week in a different hotel. I just got an Nexus 5, and when I compare it next to my iPhone 5 in the same place, most of the time Android can connect to the Wifi, why the iPhone5 can't. Speed of course is a complete different story. I am wondering if this is an iPhone5 or iOS issue in general.
Uhhh, I have an Puyopuyo clone in the pipeline which I wanted to release soon (denied because of jagged graphics). This calls for CandyCandy, amirite?!?
