Calling All Web Designers, We Need A New Look

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
27 Sep 2014 at 5:09 am UTC

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

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?

Yeah, that's my only problem with Linux: there's pretty much no good games available. But there's always Wine, which works well enough.

GOG com Now Officially Support Linux Games

It's no Desura, but it's okay, I guess.

Might be fun to try out Darklands for a change.

Do We Want Ubisoft To Support Linux?

Do I want Ubisoft on Linux? No. Do I recognize the need for Ubisoft on Linux? Yes.

As a side note, there hasn't been a western AAA title released in the last 5 years that I care about. I'd rather have From Software on Linux. Or some older games like Final Fantasy VIII or Wizardry 8 or Recettear.
