Is this basically Ubuntu?

They do intentionally hold back packages based on a random value to do gradual rollouts. See below:

Could this be your issue?

Short answer is no. Long answer is no. The problem is their drivers (and hardware) are very young so there’s a lot of odd things games can do that hurt performance in unexpected ways.

In practice they are not as good because Intel lacks experience, but I think they’re on the right track. Is it worth the money today? Probably not. The risk of coming across a game that doesn’t run well is just too high.

I really wanted Intel to be a serious contender for my last GPU purchase but there were too many good, consistently performing options in that price range for it to make a lot of sense.

Eczema, where your typical lotion just won’t cut it.

I have a monitor that’s almost like this and it’s surprisingly nice. It feels like a two-monitor setup. Two actual monitors would probably have been cheaper, but I got mine from work, so it wasn’t a factor.

The real advantage of having two actual monitors is being able to flip one vertically for reading code.

EDIT: a word

This is why I use Firefox! For freedom.

Great, now implement modern exploit mitigations and sandboxing like Chrome uses. Firefox is objectively less resistant to exploitation. Some Firefox security has improved since the article was written, such as some sandboxing on Windows, but it’s definitely not as mature.

I’m not writing that Firefox is insecure. Security is very important to Firefox! However, Chrome has had more work done in the realm of browser hardening.

Perhaps the replacement battery was manufactured a while ago?

Strategy. Emphasis on the gameplay and the creative solutions, deemphasis on the graphics.

A particularly like card based games for their complex interactions.
