If people don't notify us about bad adverts, how are we to know? We can easily block certain adverts, but don't shout from the hills when no one has reported that until now.

There's a lot. Online chatting with girls, etc.

And here is more information about that "malware removal tool": http://www.shouldiremoveit.com/SparkTrust-PC-Cleaner-Plus-18757-program.aspx [External Link]

This is my point. YOU'RE supplying malware and adware and you wonder why people want to block ads? If they're game related that's fine, but blatant security risks? Hell no.

I've spoken about this before, but you could use amazon referral links and then post "the best PC configurations for Linux June Edition" etc. Then have a range of hardware configs from low to high end all promised to work with Linux, etc that could be updated every so often. Surely you wouldn't recieve a ton of business that way, but money is money.

You could also feature a "Peripherals known to work well in Linux," and then link roccat items, etc.

The problem with ads are that it ruins the computer experience for many. Ads are an unfortunate part of the world we live in today. The windows PCs (The "affordable ones") and our android phones (stock) are filled with ad and bloatware to the point where the typical users just frustrated and fed up and think that's what having a PC is all about. SO what do they do? Go buy a Mac/iPhone and tell the world how much better it is.

How does this relate to websites? It is a fact that people wont go to an ad filled website if the ads get in the way of the content, which of course doesn't happen on this site, but it does on many.

Enter Adblock Plus. The savior. Now I instantly have the CHOICE of blocking any and all adds (even the "non-obtrusive" and warnings for using adblock) to enhance my internet experience. And I believe that it is the choice we have as PC users to customize/tweak our experience in anyway we see fit, it's what makes the PC environment so open.

I can understand however that this site "needs" money to stay afloat, and I try my best to donate every month to it, because I believe in this site. But this seems to be another attempt at getting money although other options are available. I will always use adblock. Always. I shouldn't have to change/jeopardize my privacy/business practices by allowing ads that just makes some other guy money.

Don't put all your eggs in one basket, seek alternate sources of funding. Monthy "support" goals (I.E Wikipedia), Sponsored things ( I don't know), just anything other than begging people not to use adblock, because they shouldn't have to.

P.S. I think it would be good if you published your monthly financial reports so that we KNOW where all the money is going rather than assuming it's just buying you another 6-pack for example.

P.S.S You could seek sponsorship for videos that articles that in no way impact the bias of the article. (Think Linus Tech Tips and Dollar Shave Club). Also, uTorrent recently removed the option to remove the ads, and you know what happen? There's a revolt going on right now.

Quoting: Gentleman SquidI just wish they supported their cards in Linux a lot more. Been like this for too long. Performance with NVidia and Linux has been smoother for a while now.

It's not just Linux they are doing a terrible job on, it's also terrible on Windows (in OpenGL). idTech5 engines for example.

What are you talking about? Wolfenstein: N.O. runs flawless on my rig with the latest drivers.

Why not post the launch trailer as well? ;)

Also, it would be pretty cool to post links to all the stores it's for sale on, I.E Humble Store.

While I agree that AMD does have rather poor Linux support, their price to performance ratio cannot be beat. My 290x (My first AMD Gpu - Had 450 GTS - 560Ti - and GTX 680) destroys anything else in its price range (for the record I got mine for $530). Yes, I use windows at the moment for gaming, but you can't argue with this performance.

Also, You get what you pay for in terms of CPUS, Sure the i5 beats the 8350 in some benchmarks, but it's also more expensive. And for gaming you cannot tell the difference. While I currently use Intel CPUs, I plan my next upgrade cycle to involve a crazily overclocked AMD chip.

It's also nor fair to compare Intel to AMD. Sure intel pays engineers to work on Linux, but so does AMD. AMD is a much smaller company than intel, therefore the same output/financial support cannot be expected.

AMD GPUS: Not for linux, yet (I'm looking at you AMD). AMD CPUS: Hell yeah.
