Eat shit, CNN. For the past few decades you’ve been part of the problem you’re supposed to help solve.

I remember back in the day, running Quake3 on linux provided better FPS than on windows. I haven’t compared the two since then on any game.

Is it still the case? And is this difference (mostly) there in other games too?

You have one per installed kernel. Not sure what (if any) automagic is common for removing old kernels, I guess this varies between distros, but at least on my computers, old kernel remain. At least the previous one, maybe more. It comes in handy in case a kernel upgrade breaks something, which it actually did recently on one of my laptops - makes it easier to boot from old kernel and revert.

EDIT: I just checked. I have just one on my daily driver. It’s quite new, and I don’t think I’ve had a kernel upgrade on that one, so it makes sense.

On my work laptop (the one with borked kernel upgrade) I have two.

So what you most likely have is one or more vmlinuz-version-numbers, and then simply a symlink named just vmlinuz to the version you boot from.

Short answer to your last paragraph:
vmlinuz is the kernel. It ends with z instead of x, because it’s z-compressed to save space. (I’ve heard that it’s possible to use an uncompressed kernel for that 1ms faster boot time)
Initramfs (not intramuscular, which my autocorrect thinks is appropriate) is a small filesystem blob, “initial ram filesystem”, meant to be loaded directly into ram to allow the kernel to talk to your hardware via drivers. It also has a lot of binaries needed to perform other tasks that need to run before the root filesystem is mounted.

Ironic

Tankies once again proving incapable of reading past the headline.

I would’ve liked to see him try mint instead. Less fluff, and hopefully that would’ve gone better for him.

Fucking pussy

I can’t say I’m feeling overly optimistic about anything worthwhile happening with this case after 9 years, when they failed to move forward in nearly 5

I don’t remember when, but I’m sure this happened a while ago, as I remember reading about it in our domestic papers. August, maybe? A few months ago, at least.

EDIT: Ah, I see he admitted to it. I guess that’s the update. The arrest was, as mentioned, long ago.

They ruined each other. I preferred both when they didn’t affect each other - Your neighbor didn’t get her news and science lessons from a crackpot blog, and your favorite online community wasn’t based on identity politics. The only identity that mattered was your username.

Nej

Considering how much time it took Obamas orders to even get to the Supreme Court, it can be as biased as he wants it: There’s no way they’ll get through all of it in a timely manner. Plus, there are still state courts.

Meh, most of it will be challenged in court.

That’s one of the first things I noticed with his previous try; For all of Obamas flaws, it at least seemed that everything was thought through with lawyers in the loop to make sure the execitive orders had a reasonable chance of surviving a legal challenge.

And then this clown comes along and gives the impression that he handed someone a post-it that said “no moar muzleems!!!111one”
