http://blog.printf.net/articles/2014/02/02/fujitsu-lifebook-u904-review
Fujitsu Lifebook U904 review. February 02, 2014. I got a new laptop. Linux works reasonably well on it. Here’s my research in case you’re thinking about getting one too. I wanted my next laptop to be an ultrabook (less than 1″ thick, less than 5 lbs) with a HiDPI/Retina display. That left me looking at the Samsung Ativ Book 9 Plus. Dell XPS 15 Touch. And Fujitsu Lifebook U904. Screen size, res. Price (approx. USD). Samsung Ativ Book 9 Plus. 133″, 3200×1800. 128GB SSD, sort of (uses M.2). Dell XPS 15 Touch.

Preparing the ground for the Fedora Workstation. April 16, 2014. Things are moving forward for the Fedora Workstation.

Did at talk a GUADEC in Sevile called ‘Draining the Swamp’. I don’t think the talk can be found online anywhere, but he outlined some of the same thoughts in this email reply to Richard Stallman.

Skip to primary content. April 19, 2013. Security in computer programs is often based on some kind of secret. It might be a key, passphrase or the popular password. It is also equally important that this key is not only secret but also random and cannot be easily guessed. On Arch Linux we ship the archlinux-keyring package. The keyring pacman uses is stored in. There is no magic involved here and you can even directly use it with the. Command by appending the. Directory implies. This especially affec...

The mustard indicates progress. Skip to primary content. Two fallacies of choice. February 26, 2013. Fallacy #1: Choice is good. Five years later, I still think Adam Jackson’s “ Linux is not about choice. 8221; might be the best thing ever posted to fedora-devel-list. Seriously. Go read it, if you haven’t already. I almost know it by heart. To paraphrase slightly, the heart of the post is this:. Some context: this was in 2008, shortly after Fedora 8 was released. Fedora 7 added the juju firewire stack.

As far as I know. GNOME interface design and UX. In praise of Jim Hall →. June 18, 2014. A couple of weeks ago I posted about ongoing work to redesign notifications in GNOME 3.
