if you mean amd GPUs.. yeah it's lacking atm

2019-02-09 03:07:07 UTC  

except sometimes games are weird on my 1070

2019-02-09 03:07:24 UTC  

i got a 1070, it's great

2019-02-09 03:07:26 UTC  

like Squad runs worse on my 1070 than it did on my 970m

2019-02-09 03:07:27 UTC  

got it on launch

2019-02-09 03:07:33 UTC  

Hacker news is slightly better. But there is the usual open-source zealotry on there which I hate.

2019-02-09 03:07:40 UTC  

so many people in the list playing overwatch

2019-02-09 03:07:52 UTC  

I played overwatch for a short while

2019-02-09 03:07:53 UTC  

open source is awesome tho

2019-02-09 03:07:55 UTC  

got bored of it

2019-02-09 03:08:11 UTC  

same... it was still a good game but a month later I stopped

2019-02-09 03:08:29 UTC  

it's like TF2. I played a LOT but then stopped completely

2019-02-09 03:08:32 UTC  

@Unwound Agree, I just hate the zealots that make outrageous claims and then something like HeartBleed happens

2019-02-09 03:08:37 UTC  

Or shellshock

2019-02-09 03:08:59 UTC  

I play rising storm 2, nothing else. havent opened up squad more than once, even though I should try it again

2019-02-09 03:09:05 UTC  

opensource is hit and miss

2019-02-09 03:09:26 UTC  

Sounds like that applies to most things.

2019-02-09 03:09:32 UTC  

getting more hit than miss with every year

2019-02-09 03:09:40 UTC  

There is also more out there.

2019-02-09 03:10:01 UTC  

It's nice that there are more collaborative projects and that it's easier to check in some code.

2019-02-09 03:10:13 UTC  

But more programmers and less quality control also means less quality sometimes.

2019-02-09 03:10:14 UTC  

open source has a lack of a promise behind it.
Its like a box of poo, you never know what you're gonna get.

2019-02-09 03:10:28 UTC  

I dunno about that. Generally a lot of things I used got really stable about 2011-2012. The Microsoft went open source with the tooling I used and it has been a mess since.

2019-02-09 03:10:33 UTC  

vscode is awesome software, and technically not open source but mostly it is

2019-02-09 03:10:56 UTC  

i use WSL, zsh shell on my install. it's really nice

2019-02-09 03:11:29 UTC  

95% of the places that I freelance for are 1) Microsoft shops 2) PHP

2019-02-09 03:11:33 UTC  

How well does WSL work?

2019-02-09 03:11:36 UTC  

vscode is a bit *too* a-la-cart

2019-02-09 03:11:39 UTC  

near perfect

2019-02-09 03:12:03 UTC  

I even have xfce desktop on one of my monitors with WSL, crazy

2019-02-09 03:12:16 UTC  

@Undead Mockingbird The only things I've had not work are crypto currency things and Microsoft SQL Server for Linux

2019-02-09 03:12:39 UTC  

If you run Xming you can pretty much install a full XFCE desktop

2019-02-09 03:12:41 UTC  

Interesting.

2019-02-09 03:12:53 UTC  

There had been some kind of POSIX compatibility before then.

2019-02-09 03:13:06 UTC  

I never bothered with it too much.

2019-02-09 03:13:17 UTC  

When I wanted Linux, I didn't want some imitation.

2019-02-09 03:13:27 UTC  

Windows is POSIX 1.0 compliant since forever. POSIX 2.0 compliance you need the Unix tools pack in the XP days.

2019-02-09 03:14:03 UTC  

xming is mediocre, look into VcXsrv

2019-02-09 03:14:21 UTC  

TBH I don't use the X forwarding that much

2019-02-09 03:14:57 UTC  

crowder doing michael jackson

2019-02-09 03:14:58 UTC
