When I try to run either Metro 2033 Redux or Metro Last Light Redux from Steam, I get audio and overlay, but no video (i.e. my mouse disappears but I still see the desktop.) I experimented with...

Good to know! Thanks!

I'm upgrading my eeebox to 14.04 this afternoon which features a 610m hybrid card. I'm assuming the nvidia driver available does not yet support hybrid graphics but rather the intel card will be...

It's a gateway. Just say no!

The one problem with running MS Office is that you cannot cut and paste from/to other apps. Super annoying.

I agree with a lot of your complaints. But, as others have said, Linux is modular. You can ditch unity/nautilus without ditching 'buntu.

I suspect you might really like xubuntu which has the...

Firefox 95% of the time for the same reasons. Although I use chrome 1) on older hardware and 2) when flash gets fussy in FF.

I remember reading an article about a year or so ago about different alternatives available to the raspberry pi. You should hunt around for other options that might work better for you.

Overreact much? Most of what you say here has nothing to do with my post.

Lenovos are awesome. Good choice!

I think there's really a market for something like this but so far I haven't seen anything that has enticed me to bite.

Nonetheless, when my atom ion nettop htpc died a year ago I just picked up...

I'm not holding my breath. Although I appreciate its general outline, in practice and in detail, unity just becomes more and more annoying.

The message, I think, is ditch unity and run/support...

give osmos a try, it's unusual but awesome

I'm not sure if you still have to pay for it

I play tf2 on steam (played team fortress since 1999.) There is a learning curve and you need to learn to play with keyboard/mouse.

Some of the other fps games from valve like portal, left for...

xubuntu has been awesome long before it was an official flavor

xfce 4.8 and above pretty much rocks

enjoy

Yeah, my eeebox doubles at my home server with 2tb external attached. I think I'm going to tell my buddy to get one of these and then set up an htpc for him.

There's a documentary on Diamond's Collapse as well. Blind Spot is another good, short documentary that introduces the problem.

I designed and am currently teaching a university course that...

Good point. The collaboration with valve and nvidia is encouraging as well as 12.04 showing up on more devices.

I guess I'm feeling let down in part because I've been with Ubuntu since warty and...

The belief in the significance of the information age is over hyped mostly because it depends upon a well-developed base of industrial capital as a condition of its existence. Take away the...

I love the 12" form factor for portability and that Asus looks super nice for $200. If I didn't already have a thinkpad at that form factor and an older 9" eeepc, I'd snap that up in a heartbeat. ...

I'm hating on Unity so I can't share your enthusiasm for Ubuntu per se, but nonetheless the 13.10 'buntus I've installed are working very well for me. XFCE was already great at 4.8 and the...

I'm concerned about the principle of protecting privacy which isn't a problem for me (I can tweak ubuntu to my liking) but impacts my likelihood to recommend Ubuntu to novices.

The truth is that I...

Who is bringing down other flavors? I'm happy to have switched back to Gnome Shell now that it's matured a bit and I've always loved xfce, especially after 4.8. I was just posting a news story from...

I like 13.10 too but, yeah...I'm done with Unity.

You can just install the xubuntu desktop in lubuntu. Log out and log back in choosing xubuntu as your session instead of lubuntu to see which one runs better on your machine. I can run xubuntu on...
