Either make your HP machine into a hackintosh or put ubuntu on the other machine. As MrLinux pointed out, it is much easier to optimize for performance when you are only targeting a very narrow possible list of hardware configurations.Īlso, just for the sake of better experimental rigor, it is probably best if you were to perform the test using Ubuntu dual booted on the same hardware. However, this would probably only get you a few percent extra performance. Compiling the C runtime libraries on your system with some optimizations turned on would probably help too. While regular Ubuntu doesn’t offer these handy ‘snap decisions’ (though a similar feature is planned for Unity 8), interactive notifications are already offered in GNOME Shell.If you are already familiar with Linux a bit, you could compile your own kernel to be a bit more tailored to the hardware on your system. Desktop alerts now support “actions” – for example, users can reply to an instant message, ‘answer’ or ‘reject’ a Facetime call, or delete an e-mail right from the notification bubble itself. While Ubuntu may have added desktop notifications a good few years before Mac OS X (which got them with 2012’s release of Mountain Lion) it’s fair to say that theirs are, arguably, more featured – they can even dismiss them! )įor Mavericks Apple are adding even more functionality. And, just like the implementation in Mavericks, each tab is able to have its view setting configured independently. Nautilus, the default file manager in Ubuntu, has supported tabbed browsing since 2008. For an operating system that often describes itself as “the world’s most advanced”, it has only just given users the ability to open several different folders in the same window. Mavericks furnishes Finder, the default file manager on OS X, with a feature Apple fans have been demanding for many, many years: tabs. Here are three features that may be new to OS X users, but are pretty old-hat to those of us who use Linux… Tabbed File Manager
Apple are expected to finally give a release date for OS X Mavericks, the latest update to their desktop operating system at an event today.Īs upgrades go, Mavericks look like it’ll be bringing some neat new features to the desktop – including new iBooks and Maps applications, an “App Nap” feature that improves performance, and some much-needed work on multi-monitor support.īut not everything set to arrive is unique.
