    Re: microsoft and NSA

    Seeing as how Canonical is based outside the US, I doubt they're cooperating with the NSA (same goes for SUSE, Mandriva, etc...).

    Re: The Just Plain July Screenshot Thread

    Nah just 3.6. But loving it. I was testing openSUSE 13.1 with Gnome 3.8.2, but things were a lil rough, so I downgraded. I haven't really touched anything, except a few shell extensions.

    Re: A distro a day challenge

    Just make sure you're actually reviewing different distros and not 10 Ubuntu-based distros. That means Fedora, SUSE, Mageia, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Arch, Gentoo, and then maybe Pardus and Chakra...

    Re: FP languages

    I'd recommend Clojure. It has plenty of useful features and libraries for building useful things, and you can use any Java library very easily as well.

    If you don't like Lispy languages, then...

    Re: Jammin' June Screenshot Thread

    Fedora 19 w/ Gnome 3.8 and Shell... Loving the 'modern' UI more and more, Gnome shell is easily my favourite DE these days. Integrates so nicely with Email, Calendar, so much more.

    I would leave Tumbleweed alone. They say it's stable, but it's not entirely stable. By constrast, the openSUSE numbered versions are rock solid. Just update whenever the next numbered version...

    Re: Who Has the Best Font Rendering??

    I personally like the font renderings on all Gnome 3 based distros, not a huge fan of the way KDE distros seem to render fonts (at least not by default).

    A week ago I tried to install Gnome 3.8 on openSUSE, but I couldn't get it working (X would crash every time). Glad to hear they fixed it.

    I'm currently on Fedora 19, which to my surprise (after...

    You can make games in Blender, but I've heard performance isn't great. Then again, I've seen some pretty impressive demos, and played a Blender game that did have decent performance.
