Let me get this straight, the one site that would actually benefit from browser push notifications (via GCM etc) does not have them?

I'm disappoint.

It seems silly that one needs a dedicated app for such a basic convenience. I guess I should not be surprised though considering twitch is still pushing flash. Viva la livestreamer.

Quoting: etamRead the paragraphs about "Output" and "Offload". Read the sentence "NVIDIA has no plans to support PRIME render offload at this time.". Say "Fsck you NVIDIA! I'm staying with bumblebee." :/
You realize that Bumblebee is abandoned project since 2013? It's actually a hack and not a solution, which is why its performance is sub-optimal.
Maybe, maybe not [External Link]

So, it seems Manjaro actually uses it's own repositories if I'm researching it correctly, so technically it should be a distro by itself I think?
Yes, the repo URLs are different but packages are mostly the same but arrive after additional testing and modifications. There are some distinct manjaro-only packages to increase user-friendliness and ease maintenance, e.g. there are currently a whopping 12 kernel branches available to be installed alongside each other.

We should see this coming by now.
Is that generic frustration or were there any indication of this happening to Cossacks?

When should i386 support for Ubuntu end? Help Canonical decide
29 Jun 2016 at 4:14 pm UTC

Quoting: leillo1975I think that Ubuntu 32bits has no sense. Other thing is the light flavours of Ubuntu like Lubuntu and Xubuntu. I manage a lot of old machines (Pentium 4 with 1GB RAM) that with xUbuntu 32bits can do something useful in my job.
This exactly. The only desktops I needed 32bit linux on had such old CPUs that they were missing instruction sets needed to run newest chromium and flash, sigh. You don't run hogunity on such systems. Lubuntu on the other hand runs just fine.

As longtime Microsoft Windows developers prior to Crusader Kings II, how long did it PDS to get used to the idea of internal multiplatform development?
I don't really your question.
How long did it take...
