anyone else here experience degrading experience when having a lot of tabs open on firefox for several hours? My computer was running so slow that I could barely type into the terminal. I typed "top" and noticed firefox processw as consuming 16.9 Memory. I ran kill -9 pid of firefox and it killed firefox and suddenly my computer was responsive again.
On the Windows Operating System the Table may not rader right!

Sometimes the module that ships in the kernel doesn't work as well as the one provided by the vendor due to licensing issues. One of our computers has a Realtek chip that is quite unreliable with the kernel module that is included in the Ubuntu kernel. I always have to grab the source code from Realtek and compile it myself. Then it works better.
Yeah but you could build some really cool applications with ruby on rails very quickly, and run it with postgresql and nginx and using ruby 2, and you would have good performance.
Recently I updated my Ubuntu from 12.04 to 14.04.

I'd like to retrieve a list of installed packages that have no install candidate (e.g., because I removed an apt source file entry). How would I do that on Debian-based systems?
@Luis - turns out whatever was making Riptide malfunction on audio was fixed in wine1.7 ... just upgraded to fix a different thing and went back... issue mysteriously gone.
First incounter - i was working with firefox(tested later on chrome and ubuntu in general.), when the system froze.
This is a new laptop - no hardware issues. Also put in a HDD with Win8 on it, tested the touchpad and no freeze. Also under Windows i used PassMark to stress test it, for about an hour, to see if it would freeze. No errors. While under Ubuntu the system just hangs everytime i use the touchpad.

If I install ubuntu on a flash drive, will it work correctly on all systems to use it as a portable system to use in cases where I don't trust the installed system?(Friends house that I know knows nothing about computers etc)
@hbdgaf Yes, some guy has tested riptide on 1.7.x and as I can see there it has a Gold rating. appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=28103 The truth is, there was an issue on 1.6 and 1.5 when I first tested those, where you had to actually change the API sound option on the config file. That is no longer the problem.
@LuisAlvarado yeah ;) however, the patches in 1.7 broke some other stuff. I thought I had 1.7 earlier, but I guess when I blew out my ppas on dist-upgrade I backed it out and never put it back in
@LuisAlvarado If you need to install that much stuff, you should only be giving it a gold rating. I thought Platinum was supposed to be reserved for thing that work out of the box (or very close to)
@Oli there is a large confusion related to the stuff that needs to be installed (for a specific version of Windows) and what doesn't. In that particular case I am mentioning that it does not all has to be installed, that is just my boy scout preparation kit
Definitely true. then you also have to deal with winetricks that only work on specific architectures on specific OS versions too... so it's a hell of a thing that ANY of it works AT ALL
don't remember the version that comes with 7 but it has .net and others like that. So wine gives you the environment, then you have to fill it with the components that "should" be there from the start for that specific windows version. That also includes what @hbdgaf just said.
After several years you start noticing patterns, apps that need to work in 7 also need all components that 7 brings when installed, apps that need the mscoree.dll version 1.21.31.2312#!$@!$@!^#$^$# Beta, needed in the games folder. Then you think, is this an issue also in Windows. You install windows and then the app just to see that it also has the issue. So wine gives a pretty good environment, but the rest has to be fill by us
there should be an iterative winetrick that holds them all, so you can winetrick configure - try_the_next_quartz and run in a loop until it works then kill wine and disable the trick
i wonder why nobody has done that...

After I installed KDE my Xubuntu started to think it's Kubuntu. The software updater buggers me that security updates are no longer provided for Kubuntu 13.10 and wants me to update to 14.04.
