Looking at the Linux Deepin, it seems to be an excellent down to earth derivative of Gnome-Shell.

I think I'm gonna use #gnome-shell instead of Unity from now on in !Ubuntu #Oneiric. I think it has better performance and stability.

Taylor LeMasurier-Wren

Installing Oneiric onto a Virtualbox Session. This way I can keep up with changes without risking my Desktop.

Taylor LeMasurier-Wren

Virtualbox is sweet, I'm trying out Fedora right now

It looks like the minor Nvidia tearing I was experiencing disappeared with my new core i5, I guess there must have been a bottleneck.

Taylor LeMasurier-Wren

I never thought seeing 4 cores running in the system monitor could look so sexy

Upgrading from a single core 2Ghz processor to a Core i5-2400 quad core 3.1Ghz processor. That should be put a nice performance upgrade.

@dandart Not sure how up2date this is: http://www.winehq.org/site/status/directx

@dandart I don't think any DirectX is "done", but I think there is some DX10 work. Not alot though. DX9 is still needs work too.

Taylor LeMasurier-Wren Ubuntu users

Wow, latest #wine 1.3.19 has much improved DX9. Half-life 2 based games look and perform so much better on !Ubuntu #Natty

Taylor LeMasurier-Wren Ubuntu users

Upgrading to Natty. Cross fingers and hope nothing breaks catasrophicaly !u

Awesome Sauce! I managed to build an mplayer2 binary that works with !ChromeOS #CR-48. I'll distrubute to the cr-48 pilot group soon.

Taylor LeMasurier-Wren Google Chrome OS

New Dev-channel update for !chromeos on my #cr-48 is borked. Anything I do causes it to fail. Reverting using recovery image now.

Taylor LeMasurier-Wren Google Chrome OS

Hmmm... it appears that !chromeos on the #cr48 comes with pulseaudio, but it isn't used. I wonder If I could use it to stream music.

@intermediatech yep

Cool! Notify-OSD works over ssh X11 Forwarding. Now I can get mpd song change popups by having gmpc forwarded to my #cr48. !u !gmpc

I tried to build a static #mplayer for #cr48, but I kept getting build errors. And I still can't find any video progs that'll work. !u

Taylor LeMasurier-Wren Google Chrome OS

I switched my #cr48 to dev mode. I now have acces to root. I've installed a couple of commandline utils to play with. !chromeos
