#13 Potential keylogger? in Off Topic
wareyaUSB devices can technically install drivers without permission, which is a common attack vector in corporate espionage. Just drop some bugged USB sticks in a parking lot, bam, internal access.

#7 Zorin OS in Off Topic
nobelharvardsI have an A10-7850K.
(Yes, I use integrated, stop laughing, yes it is the top of the line APU, which means it ruins the whole point of an APU; cost effectiveness).
From my research, AMD drivers on Linux are less than impressive. I was wondering if this was still the case at this point in time? Are the beta drivers any better? I read about some nasty stories from other people about getting less than 30% of the performance using AMD drivers on Windows compared to Linux.

AMD drivers are a bit of a pain in the ass. I'm not too sure about this anymore, but way back when I used the proprietary AMD drivers, fglrx, I had to downgrade my X server because the drivers need one specific version and it cant be newer than whatever they want. This might as well not be true anymore because I've tried to avoid using AMD graphics cards when using linux, or I've just stuck to the radeon driver. Also performance might be a bit lower if you compare to windows. AMD's drivers have just been known to suck pretty bad compared to the Nvidia one. For best performance I recommend you get a discrete Nvidia GPU if you don't care about your "freedoms".

The open source drivers are incredibly easy to set up, usually just require you to install xf86-video-ati and whatever mesa package + some other stuff. These drivers automatically detect your resolution and you don't have to do any config editing. Resolution changes are made with xrandr or some graphical front-end to xrandr. The downside to these drivers are they, relative to the proprietary AMD and Nvidia drivers, have bad 3d performance. I can't say how well it'll perform in tf2 since I haven't tried playing tf2 with my A8-6600K, but I think it's reasonable to expect about 120 FPS, maybe a bit higher. Can't say for sure with your APU though.

nobelharvardsNo mouse acceleration, 1:1, stuff.
Judging by this article, it seems fairly straightforward. The writer seems to use a Logitech mouse, which would have drivers. I use a Zowie FK1, would there be any deviation from this procedure?

I just open a terminal and type in "xset m 0 0" or simply just add it to my .xinitrc. Makes, at least to me, make all pointer enhancement type stuff go away.

nobelharvardsWork.
Apparently OpenOffice does not exist anymore. What is the "normal" equivalent of Microsoft Office on Linux now?

LibreOffice.

nobelharvardsIs there something I am overlooking that is critical to the function of Linux as an "everyday" OS?

PlayOnLinux is a good frontend to WINE which sets up different "installations" of windows depending on what kind of application you want to run. For example, if you want to run Path of Exile it might need a patch to WINE that World of Warcraft doesn't need. PlayOnLinux makes this easy for you and keeps the two different versions of WINE separate.

nobelharvardsApologies in advance for being so naïve. Please try to ensure any explanations in your answers are dumbed down to the point where an unborn foetus can understand it.

Everyone has to start somewhere.

#43 Linux in Off Topic

csgo is on linux now if you were not aware.
runs fine for me playing local against bots with 100+ fps using mesa 10.3, kernel 3.16.3 and an a10-6600k & 6870

#5 Titan Black + Razer Atrox Arcade Stick for sale in Hardware
PapaSmurf323why would I buy a Titan Black for that price when I could get a brand new one for the same cost

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487036
$1,099.99

650 British Pound Sterling equals 1090.57 US Dollar

Unless Im missing something here.

because £650 is presumably cheaper than the retail british prices

#10 HDMI vs DVI in Hardware
FurorityYou could use displayport. Full 144hz @ 1080p along with audio. Its how I get my audio to my Asus VG248QE but it sounds really crappy.

this is the answer. displayport rocks

#24 Source 2 indirectly released in TF2 General Discussion
Intellectualideally, i hope they support dx8-dx11, include more performance options, and keep all existing mechanics

doubt there's gonna be dx8 support in this day and age. probably will be opengl support though

the screws are probably located under the mouse feet, if you're careful you can remove them, unscrew and do everything you need to and put them back on

AndKennethThe problem with that would be getting it signed by valve so it runs in vac secured mode.

no one's tried, i'm sure they wouldn't mind

#2 Porting P-REC for mac in Q/A Help

p-rec isn't open source afaik so it's impossible to port
best would be to write a new plugin

#9 Twitch Not Working? in Off Topic
LionxAlright so I did a bit of searching and it turns out if you have the extension "HTTPS Everywhere" it will not let Twitch run correctly. It seems to have started after the Heartbleed thing. I removed it from Chrome and now Twitch is working fine.

never even thought of that. thanks
