Is this a rerun? I feel like I've heard this story (or one like it) before.

Funny, I kickstarted it way back when, but the more I hear about it, the less I like it.

GOL Survey Results: September

Okay, so I said "more games natively than under wine", because I play many different games natively and using different emulators (dosbox, gemrb,...). On the other hand I put much more time in the games I play under wine, so time-wise I'd say it's almost 50/50.

OpenSUSE KDE FTW!

Redesigning CAN work, but usually messes stuff up.

At any rate, as long as there's a fallback in place and the new site works with JS disabled I don't mind if you give it a try.

A Message From John Byrne Of AMD & A Survey

Love that guy's accent, hope he makes top dog someday.

Anyway, downloading the driver is a 4, it's not in the Arch repos or it would be a 5, but it can only get in the Arch repos if it gets brought up to speed.
Ease of installing gets a 3, downgrading Xorg isn't always the easiest thing to do.
Stability gets a 4, I haven't had it crash yet, but I've heard of people who had, so that's a bit of a problem.
Features get a 3, I can do a lot with the control application, but no support for the latest Xorg is bad.

Welp, the previous version caused continuous kernel panics with my GPU, so maybe I'll try this version out after it's gotten some testing.

Not a surprising statistic as OMG's following is fully Linux gaming related, but more of a general Ubuntu site.
Did you mean "as OMG's following isn't fully"?

I kinda feel silly sometimes for combining AMD graphics cards with Intel processors, but i7 spoiled me, so I simply can't in good conscience buy anything less. Compiling has never been faster.

GOL’s first monthly hardware survey EDIT
7 Sep 2014 at 10:49 pm UTC

My purchases/month vary wildly, because some months I find a lot of stuff that seems interesting, other months there isn't anything I'm interested in, so I just did a rough estimate of how many games I have and how long I've been using Linux and gave the average.

Also, is it distro hopping when you use two different distros, but only those exact two?
