@black3dynamite said in Miscellaneous Tech News:
@scottalanmiller ElementaryOS doesn't have Desktop icons and a desktop folder.
But not because of a problem maintaining their existing system and a lack of interest in their product. It's an intentional design decision, at least.
And was exactly the same with GNOME.
The desktop was disabled for the default experience when GNOME 3 came in place now 6 years ago, so far has been mostly unmaintained
They did it on purpose. You could re-enable by downloading Tweak Tool if you wanted to.

Not according to the article, they were stuck with dropping it due to a lack of ability to maintain it. Not out of a desire to drop it; and obviously they had planned it as the use case from the beginning. Very different things. And that's from their own statements, not mine.

@mlnews Good luck with that NVidia. I'm sure it will work out.

Nvidia may be trying to prevent GeForce GPUs from being used in data centers!
Nvidia: we don't like money.
I get that they think they'll sell more of their more expensive products designed to be used in a data center, but that doesn't mean customers are automatically going to have the extra money to spend.

I'm just imagining AMD in the corner twiddling their thumbs as the money starts the roll in.

It's odd really. AMD was on their last leg just a few years ago. Now with the recent Intel and Nvidia announcements we may see AMD as king for a short period before ARM takes over.

AMD is just winning this week, in every possible way.

AMD and ARM will likely work together, a lot. ARM doesn't make chips, so ARM alone can't take over.

From market reports AMD has been going hard on new chip manufacturing facilities. So you're probably right.

AMD and ARM have made chips together in the past. Nearly everyone works with ARM, they are one of the best design firms out there.

What’s the hold up for ARM in Desktop and Servers?

I literally quoted the line that said it was done on purpose. They disabled it for the default experience. It wasn't maintained because you had to use a customization tool to turn it back on.

We stopped using NVIDIA. We just use AMD now. We get better performance from our RHEL workstations and they cost much less.

I bet CAD stations or similar engineering type things.

Ya z840/440 workstations. For FEA and CFD work.
Also a handful of Dells with NVMe drives but I forget which model workstation.
