Actually, in my haste to post I only listed the ones that I thought of right away. I was quite disappointed to hear the Apple too, has succomb.

Now I really have a reason to install Debian Wheezy on MBPr. ;p

This is no way to live. Something must be done.



This got me thinking. Linux distros has usually been seen as a safe harbor for people. We now have proof that MS and Apple has been in bed with the governments for a long time, and but even before it wouldn't have been too wrong to think MS/Apple has some kind of back door.

Years ago, something called Ubuntu came up to spread linux to the masses. While it was hard to install and maintain a linux pc before, Ubuntu made it so that it was almost as simple as windows. I know this is a baseless conspiracy theory, but would it be too far fetched to think maybe Ubuntu was sponsored by the government to spread linux and lull the people into a false sense of security in their linux environment?


Does Debian (or any Linux distro for that matter) support HDPI displays without looking awful?


At least with KDE you can define sizes for a whole lot of things, I guess that should help. (I like OpenSUSE by the way, it gets slicker and slicker all the time)


I use Debian on a chromebook pixel. It looks fantastic.


No fair, you had Linus guiding you. Debian on MBPr might be as challenging. I'm up for it.

Part of the reason I chose it. ;)
