If Google succeeds with the new DRM policy, will that affect functionality of browsers like firefox which uses a different engine?

  • Mozilla has been bullied exactly this way in the past into implementing DRM measures I believe.

  • Ugh. I've been wanting to switch for a while but that's a bummer to hear. I might just have to bite the bullet and deal with buggy drivers. Back when I got my monitors like 6 years ago there wasn't a ton of options for sub-5ms IPS displays with adaptive sync technology so I had to go with Acer Predators and G-Sync but now I'm kinda stuck with NVIDIA. I'm sure there's more options for monitors now but I'm not dropping that kind of money on monitors again.

    Unless something has changed? Is GSync still proprietary? (Edit: looks like G-Sync does work on AMD cards now but only for newer monitors, dang.)

    Ironically, I remember not long ago it was AMD that used to have the crap Linux drivers.

    • My little brother loves the dualboot setup I installed for him. He says "It's like iOS"

  • I mean you could certainly have both but Linux treating its terminal as a first class interface is a big killer feature of Unix/Linux I think and why it's still used in the server/dev world so much. Having a command line interface that's not an afterthought, fully scriptable, and can be automated is very convenient for large tasks that need to be chained together whereas on Windows you have things like PowerShell where not every program you want to do things with in PowerShell has a way to interact with PowerShell, since in Windows you have the opposite problem of GUI being the only first class interface. I think I'd be worried that if you de-emphasized the terminal more you'd get the weird situation that happened to Windows and PowerShell whereas it's usually not super hard to build your own GUI around an open source terminal program. A lot of people aren't especially motivated to do that so some programs don't have GUIs, but if you're feeling like more programs need one then go for it.
