As someone who works in IT I must point out that the stupidity and ignorance of the average user can vary between Einstein and a dodo, you get people who know what their doing and those that shouldn't be allowed near a computer ever. I have given up saying "no one can be that dumb", trust me if it can be done then no matter how stupid it is more than 1 idiot will do it.Ultratwinkie said:You know, how the hell do people NOT know reformatting deletes your data?
and how the hell do they reformat without first backing up their files?
This is basic computer maintenance. What are they doing with a BETA of an OS meant for specialists if they can't do the basics? What am I missing here?
Don't be so stupid, this isn't timed exclusivity this is a BETA, an early development build, and since nVidia have had the biggest issues with getting running on linux in the past its no suprise their focusing on getting their drivers working, AMD has been far more compatible in the past and I suspect they know it'll be easy to add later on with less issues. At the very least their focusing on one issue at a time, this is a big undertaking and Valve has to make sure they pull it off because bad stigmas are near impossible to rub off.major_chaos said:*snip*
But none of that really matters seeing as apparently we are giving timed exclusivity to graphics card manufactures now and thus as a AMD user I literally can't run it.
Going by what you've said I'd say stay away from it for now, this early build is for those like myself who are technically minded and are willing to test early builds to help valve find any bugs. Wait until the official release and by then more games should be out.
