    Sometimes the order that OSS projects does in fact seem pretty goofy. Guessing Chromebooks have funky sound to skip out of paying...

    As a counterpoint, the fact that millions of mainstream notebooks (not Chromeboos) with deeply crappy Celerons still get sold for more...

    I think the OEMs saw the Intel performance numbers before we did and realized this generation was a hard pass. On the desktop Intel...

    And the Intel ones use funky sound hardware that needs special firmware and such, like this does. Would you believe that it took this...

    Yes, we used to segregate /var, although one of the biggest reasons to do so was that mail spools live there if your system was running...
