Quoting: liamdaweYeah the A10 5800K, sadly I wasn't expecting myself to be doing videos but it's quite fun so If I want to do more I need the cores!

The speed of your Ram actually has a good impact on APU performance. I don't know which would be cheaper in your case, or if the extra RAM would help with the recording drain.

Quoting: Quote from Quote from philip550cthey can still follow their policy and just use ubuntu (come on guys the distro choice is obvious) and let the community figure out the other distros.

But is it that obvious? With Ubuntu trying so hard to become incompatible with every other distro under the sun it may not be the best bet on its own anymore.

Yes I still think so, since ubuntu is valve's choice its gonna get the most support for gaming (games already ported and running, drivers, etc.. ) and gaming peripherals and the largest userbase as well. If they really wanted to be good, they should choose ubuntu and fedora and we can handle the rest. I think ubuntu's choices lately are making them more commercialized too which would probably be looked at positively by developers. I only hope they dont become so different they are their own OS like Android.

I agree with you to an extent. Just support ubuntu. Leave it to the Arch junkies, fedora freaks, and debian divas to get it running on their platform.

Look, Arch had steam before it was "officially supported."

First, with Fedora and Debian gone, Ubuntu and Arch could not exist. Secondly, Arch would be a very stupid choice for a supported distro (and I am saying this as an Arch user, among other things).

I think most people who advocate for killing off all the other distros, especially Ubuntu fans, would be very surprised to learn how interdependent they are, especially on upstream distros like Fedora or Debian that provide most of the technology and infrastructure that the others utilize. And when it comes to that distrowatch statistic that has been floating around, one should realize that not all of those are desktop distributions, and many target certain niche markets which do need a specially tailored distro in order to be useful. There really is not as much specific desktop fragmentation as many believe.

And speaking in general terms, I really do believe that proprietary applications have no place in a distribution's package manager. They are designed for free programs with source code available, and trying to shoehorn pre-complied applications into them is a headache people should not attempt. Proprietary applications should just ship with their own installer, or use one of the excellent ones available such as mojosetup. Then you do not need to worry about using a deb, rpm, or any other format.

I know Hamish. It was a joke! I think the "Major 4ish" (Fedora, Arch, Debian, and Ubuntu ) and all their appropriate spin offs should stick around because they obviously influence each other. It's just the "n30p1r4t3 OSes" that aren't necessary. In some cases, like manjaro, the spin off actually creates and developed new software that is useful to all users (arch at least).

But if I were just to create a Distro that was based on Ubuntu, just with new colors, icons, pictures, and a few games. Does that Distro need to exist? No.

You misspelled "Debian."

Update your software or make testing the default. Then we'll talk. :D

It's starting to sound more and more like AoE. I'll have to wait until I get paid before I pledge because IndieGoGo is stupid and takes your money up front (even if it is flexible).

Quoting: HamishWhy the need for a new CPU? Since they are using the same engine, can the hardware specifications really have changed that much?

I think he just means his PC is old/ getting old. lol

Recording does take a performance hit.
