Unity runs better by a mile, mesa supports 4.1 ootb meaning I get all muh games without padoka.

>>54213549
Are you running it? Can you check if they fixed the "Move Window to Workspace" keyboard shortcut?

The last few times I used Unity it was broken and had to use some compiz hack

I've been digging it. First thing I did was uninstall ubuntu session and install Cinnamon, and mine looks great. apt is slightly more powerful than apt-get, and other than that it's just any old debian based operating system.

Can I get more info on this snappy security issue? Is it an actual issue, from what I understand it just executes code anyways: as long as I don't download malicious packages from malicious repos I should be good?

In bed now. Keep this thread alive for another 10 hours and I'll get back to you

Basically some CoreOS dev getting his panties in a tangle over misreading press releases. He's spreading FUD because he's running a competitor.

If you have X as your display manager, it can grab arbitrary inputs and tunnel then to other applications. 16.04 has not switched to Mir as the display server, and therefore it is still possible to key log and other nonsense without issue.

isn't this the vast majority of all distros?

I'm remembering this now so that in a few months /g/ will spout "muh snappy" as a psuedo-excuse as to why they don't like ubuntu, needing to say this because they don't want to admit it's superior and want to flaunt their obscure timesink distro. This will be just like "amazon spyware" and unity and I'm completely sure that snappy is just a package that you can remove with one apt-get

>>54214105
yes

if you have malicious code running on your machine, chances are the attacker is going to get privelege escalation anyway because the attack surface is huge.

i'm waiting till amd works

I am personally excite for the future of the Linux desktop. If the snap package catches on, that's a large number of packages with more sand boxing by default. Mozilla will be releasing Firefox later this year as a snap, so there's potentially one less package I need to fiddle with for app armor.

>>54213499
Why not 15?

>>54214139
Waiting until nvidia works. Can't boot into any DE with both open source of proprietary drivers. I

It's shit.
I had to make a clean install since there's no fix for that shit.

I don't even understand how it works anymore. Why would I need X11 for a package manager.

>>54213499
>So has anyone tried out 16.04 yet?
Running it right now.

Bad:
AMD will not support 16.04, AT ALL
Steam is broken even with nvidia and intel graphics
Niche kernels have to be compiled since all the flavours on apt except lowlatency are a placeholder

>>54217920
>AMD will not support 16.04, AT ALL
Nonsense. AMDGPU PRO already supports 16.04. Only Catalyst is being phased out.

>not xubuntu
why tho

>>54213499
NetworkManager is buggy.. does not find wifi networks without restarting it.

>>54217868
All its implying is that X11 completely circumvent the protections put in place by apparmor.

If you want to remove the Amazon app you have to remove unity tweaks

But anon, AMD has never worked (^:

>>54217920
AMDGPU-Pro is actually running better than fgrlx for a lot of cards in Ubuntu 16.04.

>>54218757
Good. Unity is just a gnome copy anyway and a shitty one at that.

I don't know if it is, but it seems faster to me.
I'm happy I have a more up to date GNOME.
Apport is annoying as hell though, Ubuntu's way nicer once that's disabled.

>>54218757

Is this true? Do you mean remove as in remove the binaries for it, or can I simply still switch it off?

He kept his end of the deal, faggot. Where is yours?

Just got to the office. Give me a few

mate 16.04 been a shit for me

things take a delay to load idk why

I thought it was the xenial repository that was a lagging shit, but it takes ages to connect to wifi as well

Just installed 16.04.

No glaring issues. Unity limits customization, but functions fine. Fantastic OS for any proper human being that just wants to get things done.

I have watched a hand full of reviews on the new release, they all agree that its its horrible for an LTS

>>54217920
AMDGPU is actually developed by AMD dummy

>>54213568
What's the hotkey?

>>54213568
If it's ctrl-alt-shift-arrow, that's been working fine for ages. Try resetting compiz and unity if it's broken for you

>>54217920
>AMD will not support 16.04, AT ALL
16.04 runs much better on my 290X CF system than 15.04. 15.04 was fucking unusable. Everything stuttered horribly in Unity, even moving the mouse and opening a menu took literally seconds of stuttering animation. Completely unusable.

16.04 runs well(-ish, there's still tearing) and it plays nice with my 3 monitor setup too.

I've run into a strange issue: it won't install from my usb key (faulty media, it says), but a live session works perfectly. I formatted the key and used it for a Debian netinst afterwards, and encountered no issue.

>>54219926
yes
but you can always reinstall it
