True Blue

I use Nvidia’s proprietary driver because the open-source Nouveau driver won’t work with my display. Will this update break the driver, or just make it slower?

I’d love to stop using Nvidia, but I don’t have much choice about using their proprietary driver until I get my next video card, or Nouveau starts working for me.

The idea is that you’re not supposed to minimize windows at all under Gnome’s workflow, and you maximize by double-clicking the headerbar to save space. You get used to it.

For a 100% libre kernel, I feel like this is the more sensible option than Hurd, just to take advantage of all the effort that goes into the Linux kernel. I’m not knowledgeable on kernels in the first place though, so maybe a micro-kernel really is the best way to go once you figure out the proper architecture.

If you want to be nitpicky about it, you could consider it to not be an “ad” because its not a company paying to put that text there. It’s Ubuntu promoting their own product. But I don’t think it makes much of a difference in this case, since it’s a big annoyance either way.
