Xbox One X: Release-Termin, Preis & Performance - Die 4K-Konsole im Vergleich mit PS4 Pro und PC.
Wie schnell ist Microsofts Xbox One X wirklich? Wir liefern alle Infos zu Leistung, Preis und Release-Termin.
12.06.2017 16:20 Uhr.
Microsoft hat auf der E3 2017 endlich Preis und Release-Termin (07. November 2017) der Xbox One X bekannt gegeben. Anfang April gab es zuvor umfassende Enthüllungen zur Hardware durch Digital Foundry – wir analysieren die Hardware der XBox One X im Detail.
Zur Enthüllung der neuen Xbox One X auf der E3 2016 (zunächst Project Scorpio genannt) standen vor allem zwei Begriffe im Vordergrund: sechs Teraflops und 4K. Das flüssige Spielen in eben dieser Auflösung (und in VR) soll mit der im vierten Quartal 2017 erscheinenden Konsole durch die Rechenleistung von sechs Teraflops möglich sein.
Viel mehr Details zu den technischen Daten hat Microsoft monatelang nicht verraten, zwischendurch gab es aber immer wieder neue Enthüllungen und Vermutungen zu der Hardware der Xbox One X, meist von Digital Foundry beziehungsweise Eurogamer.net initiiert. Eben dieser Plattform hat Microsoft Anfang April 2017 die Gelegenheit gegeben, einen genaueren Blick auf die kommende Xbox zu werfen – inklusive der offiziellen Enthüllung vieler technischer Details.
Wir klären, was diese Details für die Leistung der Xbox One X voraussichtlich bedeuten und wie sie im Vergleich zu anderen Spieleplattformen wie der PlayStation 4 Pro oder aktuellen Gaming-PCs da steht.
Was bedeuten Teraflops?
Bevor wir uns die technischen Daten der Xbox One X genauer ansehen noch ein kurzer Exkurs zur Einschätzung des viel diskutierten Teraflop-Werts in Bezug auf Grafikkarten und die für Spiele primär relevanten FP32-Berechnungen. Wer direkt die konkreten Werte der One X und eine Einschätzung dazu lesen möchte, der springt zum nächsten Absatz »Xbox One X vs. PlayStation 4 Pro«.
Die Zahl der theoretisch möglichen Gleitkomma-Berechnungen pro Sekunde (»Floating-Point Operations per Second« beziehungsweise »FLOPS«) hängt von der Menge der vorhandenen Shader-Einheiten und der Taktrate der GPU (»Graphics Processing Unit«) ab. Anhand dieser Zahl lässt sich ungefähr sagen, wie viel 3D-Leistung die entsprechende Hardware besitzt, allerdings spielen hier noch viele weitere Faktoren wie die vorhandene Speichermenge und die Speicheranbindung eine Rolle.
Die PlayStation 4 Pro erreicht im Gegensatz zur PlayStation 4 durch mehr Shader-Einheiten und eine gestiegene GPU-Taktrate 4,2 statt 1,84 Teraflops, die Xbox One X kommt mit 6,0 Teraflops auf einen noch höheren Wert.
Wirklich miteinander vergleichbar sind außerdem nur Teraflop-Angaben in Bezug auf die gleiche (oder eine möglichste ähnliche) Architektur der GPU dahinter. So kommt die Nvidia-Grafikkarte Geforce GTX 1070 beispielsweise mit Boost-Takt auf etwa 6,5 Teraflops, während AMDs Radeon R9 Fury X einen deutlich höheren Wert von 8,6 Teraflops erreicht - in PC-Spielen ist die GTX 1070 aber dennoch in der Regel spürbar schneller.
Außerdem spielt es eine wichtige Rolle, wie gut die vorhandene Leistung von der jeweiligen Plattform ausgenutzt werden kann. Konsolen sind hier gegenüber dem PC meist klar im Vorteil, da die Spieleentwickler genau wissen, mit welcher Hardware sie es zu tun haben, während Rechner aus vielen verschiedenen Komponenten bestehen können.
Hinzu kommen moderne Techniken wie das Sparse- oder auch Checkerboard-Rendering, die bislang hauptsächlich Konsolenspiele nutzen. Dabei werden vereinfacht ausgedrückt nur bestimmte Teile des Bildes tatsächlich in der sehr leistungshungrigen 4K-Auflösung berechnet. Gut umgesetzt führt das zu spürbar höheren fps im Vergleich zu einer vollständigen Berechnung in 4K bei nur geringen Einbußen in Sachen Bildqualität.
Zusammengefasst bedeutet das Folgendes:
Mehr Teraflops bedeuten meist auch mehr 3D-Leistung, aber je unterschiedlicher die Chip-Architektur ist, desto weniger aussagekräftig sind direkte Vergleiche Konsolen können aufgrund der stets identischen Hardware meist mehr als Spiele-PCs aus den vorhandenen Teraflops (bzw. der vorhandenen 3D-Leistung) herausholen Da alle aktuellen Konsolen von Microsoft (Xbox One, Xbox One S, Xbox One X) und Sony (PlayStation 4, PlayStation 4 Slim, PlayStation 4 Pro) ähnliche Hardware von AMD verwenden, lassen sich ihre Teraflop-Angaben relativ gut miteinander vergleichen.
Die Xbox One S verfügt im Gegensatz zu den aktuellen Sony-Konsolen über ein Laufwerk zum Abspielen von UHD-Blu-rays, auch die Xbox One X besitzt so ein Laufwerk.

If you’re ready to take that step, Konsole is a good starter tool. It’s the default terminal emulator on KDE and ships with every KDE distribution, but you can install it anywhere if you don’t mind the dependencies.
Konsole is a well-balanced application that lets users customize it through dialogs and menus. This is great for beginners who don’t want to edit configuration files just to change the text color, as is necessary with other, usually lightweight terminal emulators. At the same time, advanced users won’t feel slighted when using Konsole because nearly every aspect of the application can be controlled and modified. This guide will showcase the features that make Konsole powerful and teach you how to adapt them to your needs.
A Bit of Motivation.

The application has been ported to Plasma 5 The Current State Of the New Linux Desktop Environment, Plasma 5 The Current State Of the New Linux Desktop Environment, Plasma 5 After years of polishing the 4.x series, KDE is once again leading the innovation race among Linux desktop environments with its latest product: Plasma 5. Read More , but it’s still plagued by annoying bugs, so I opted for the older version.
Profiles and Appearance.
Profiles are Konsole’s most practical feature. They make it possible to set up as many separate configurations as you want and switch between them in one session, or even use more profiles at once, each in its own tab. You can create and edit profiles in the Settings > Manage Profiles dialog.
Every profile can start in a different directory and have a custom window size. Konsole opens the Bash shell by default, but you can run other shells (like zsh or fish) in their own profiles and tabs, or set up any other command or application to start when you load a profile. This configuration dialog contains various settings for Konsole behavior, so you can declare custom keybindings in the Keyboard tab and control mouseclick actions in the Mouse tab. We’ll return to other options in the next few sections.
The most interesting tab is Appearance . Konsole supports color schemes Solarized - A Crisp, Scientifically-Based Color Scheme For Your Apps Solarized - A Crisp, Scientifically-Based Color Scheme For Your Apps If you spend your days in front of a computer monitor, color can be an important tool in the fight against fatigue and eye strain. Just about every text editor supports syntax coloring, and many. Read More , which you can create yourself or download for free. You can tweak background and font colors for optimal contrast, and choose the font type and size (Konsole detects and displays only monospaced fonts installed on your system). If you want, you can even set a background image for your terminal.
Apart from individual profile configuration, Konsole has a general settings dialog under Settings > Configure Konsole . Here you can choose whether to display tabs and where to put them, as well as change the look of Konsole’s window titlebar.
If you’re into meticulous tweaking, you’ll be happy to hear that Konsole lets you load a custom CSS file to modify the font, color, and size of tabs and the tab bar.
Tab Management.
By now it’s obvious that Konsole supports tabs. There’s nothing unusual about it—tabbed browsing The 5 Best Firefox 4 Addons For Tabbed Browsing The 5 Best Firefox 4 Addons For Tabbed Browsing Read More has become a de facto standard for web browsers, and desktop applications like text editors Advanced Linux Text Editors Compared: kate vs gedit Advanced Linux Text Editors Compared: kate vs gedit Any Linux user will tell you that a good text editor is a vital component of a computer system, no matter if you're a new user or a seasoned pro.

In Konsole, you can rename and detach every tab if you click on it in the tab bar.
Detaching a tab closes it in the current Konsole window and opens it in a new one. This is helpful when you want to move an active application to another virtual desktop. To copy a tab into the current window, use the File > Clone Tab option. If you want an overview of several tabs at once, Konsole offers the Split View option in the View menu.
Split View will copy all opened tabs in horizontal or vertical containers, essentially creating a windows-within-a-window situation. You can select the same tab in every container, but scroll to different positions in each one, which is handy when you’re reading a long file. It’s important to remember that closing a tab in one view closes it in all active views. Konsole also supports Fullscreen Mode, which will cover the panel and all active windows once you press F11 . It’s a quick way to hide the desktop!
If you often work with the same directories and find yourself opening the same files in Konsole tabs every day, it’s good to know that you can bookmark all opened tabs as a folder and load them all at once the next time you start Konsole. In a way, Konsole bookmarks replace the Save Session functionality How To Make The Most of Firefox's Session Manager How To Make The Most of Firefox's Session Manager Restoring browser sessions was a milestone in browser development. Meanwhile, all browsers offer this feature to some extent. Firefox allows you to restore previous windows and tabs, but it doesn't come with an elaborate session. Read More you might recall from your favorite web browser.
Working With Files and Commands.
Konsole is a great companion to a file manager—particularly to Dolphin, KDE’s default—for several reasons. First, it has an option in the File menu that opens the file manager in the currently active directory. Second, you can drag-and-drop items from the file manager window into the Konsole window and get a context menu with a set of convenient actions to copy, open, and link files and folders.
If you want to monitor changes in a log or any other file, check the View menu and its Monitor for Activity/Silence options. Selecting this will allow Konsole to alert you via desktop notifications when something happens (or stops happening) in the tab for which you enabled the option. If you do your backups in the terminal, you can use this to get notified when they’re completed.
As with any other KDE application, you can choose the type of notifications for Konsole. You’ll find the dialog under Settings > Configure Notifications .
Aside from tracking the output of a command, Konsole can also save it as a text or HTML file, and print it to PDF or paper. Both options are in the File menu. You can control the scope of exported files by adjusting the size of the scrollback. It can be preset for each profile, or modified on-the-fly for every opened tab by right-clicking and choosing Adjust Scrollback from the context menu.

To give you more control over the contents of your terminal window, Konsole lets you toggle Flow Control —an option to pause the output of a command by pressing a keyboard shortcut. Again, you can configure this feature for each Konsole profile.
More Tweaks, Tricks, and Getting Help.
Konsole’s strength doesn’t end here. There are plenty more features and configuration options, both big and small, that you can use to turn Konsole into a perfectly personalized terminal emulator. If you love keyboard shortcuts, feel free to define your own, or just use the defaults. For example, Ctrl+mouse wheel will activate zoom, and holding Ctrl+Alt while highlighting text will automatically select columns if Konsole detects them in the output. There’s also the Search feature with support for regular expressions and case-sensitive keywords.
Advanced users can start Konsole with the --background-mode switch. It will run, but remain invisible and silent, and you can bring it to front by pressing Ctrl+Shift+F12 . In case there’s a need to manually edit or backup Konsole profiles, they can be found as simple text files in the.
You can discover more about Konsole at your own pace, as you gradually learn Linux commands, or you can just soak up all about it from the official help documentation. There’s an offline version that you can read directly in Konsole, but if you’d prefer a separate PDF file, you can download the Handbook. While preparing this article, I discovered that the Konsole Handbook was missing from the official KDE Documentation website, so I contacted Kurt Hindenburg, the developer of Konsole. He promptly replied and fixed the problem. Kudos to Kurt!

How can I get the time to appear on the command line so I know when I initiated a program - my jobs run for hours and I open several windows - thanks.
use oh my zsh from github.
For ubuntu I use guake. Very fast and handy. I recommend.
A really concise and stupendous article! Hats off to you Ivana! It really helped me in my research. Au Revoir!
Thanks for such an informative article. I use Kubuntu and I had no idea the terminal could be tweaked in such a way. I saved this page to keep as a reference. Thank you.
Thank you so much for the comment, Danny!
My experience is actually similar to yours - I'm not some mad terminal wizard :), and I've also avoided using the terminal for a long time, for various reasons. I'm not using it much these days, either, but when I do, I love it because it's so fast and efficient. Whether it's backup scripts, email checking, or system cleanup and monitoring. you can really do amazing things with simple Bash scripts. And Konsole is a great choice for beginners because you don't have to spend too much time guessing and decyphering how to set it up. Everything is clearly laid out in customization dialogs that look just like any other dialogs in regular KDE apps.
I wish you lots of fun and success in your experiments with the terminal, and I'm really glad you like the article. And remember: you don't have to learn *every* Linux command out there. Just figure out what you want to do and focus on that. Even the basics can get you a long way! :)
Another nice article from you Ivana, very informative. As someone who grew up on DOS 1.0 and still did a lot of command line stuff well into the Windows error ( oops. era. Freudian Slip ? ) I did not get into Linux until a couple of years ago after being on Macs for the last decade. I have usually ignored any process that required me to go into terminal, particularly installing programs. My opinion now is if a programmer is too lazy to include an installer and/or wizard, your program is just not worth my time. I could do it, with some training/retraining in terminal syntax and usage, but my time is more valuable now and is taken up with many other useful things than to be hashing out multi-step install scripts via a terminal. That said, in terms of drilling down into the guts of my machine and to see in more detail the various paths and calls of a script is a useful thing that I should be more adept at. I will give these tips a go. At least it should take some of the discomfort out of using terminal and give me added impetus to become a Linux terminal guru. or close enough for rock and roll. Thanks again !

Linux Mint and Ubuntu are both known as two of the most newbie-friendly distros around. Ubuntu is the most popular — so much so that Linux Mint is based on it. But there are real differences between the two. Which one is right for you?
Background.
Ubuntu began in 2004 when millionaire Mark Shuttleworth founded Canonical. The first release was version 4.10, referring to October 2004. A new one becomes available for download every six months. Each fourth version serves as an LTS (long-term support) release; Ubuntu 16.04 LTS launched in April 2016 10 Ways to Make Ubuntu 16.04 Feel Like Home 10 Ways to Make Ubuntu 16.04 Feel Like Home Ubuntu 16.04 is an LTS release, so you get five years of updates, and not have to worry about installing a new version for a while. But what do you do once you've installed Ubuntu. Read More .

Whether you're upgrading or switching from Windows, let's take a look at what's new in Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial Xerus. Read More .
Linux Mint first hit the scene in 2006. The distro is built on top of Ubuntu but takes extra steps to remove obstacles for newcomers. One key distinction from most other distros is the inclusion of Flash and proprietary codecs out of the box. This will change with the upcoming release, version 18. Then users will have to download codecs during or after installation.
While the numbers are different, Linux Mint releases typically come a few months after each Ubuntu version. Starting with 17, every LTS marks a new version number, with the three subsequent releases being x.1, x.2, and x.3.
System Requirements.
512MB RAM (2GB recommended)
5GB of disk space (25GB recommended)
1024 x 768 screen resolution.
512MB Ram (1GB recommended)
9GB of disk space (20GB recommended)
800 x 600 screen resolution (1024 x 768 recommended)
Both need a DVD drive or USB port for installation.
Ubuntu and Linux Mint have similar system requirements. The biggest impact on resources comes from which desktop environment you choose and the software you install.
Installation.
Ubuntu and Linux Mint both use the Ubiquity installer. This means if you can figure out how to install one, you know how to install the other. The experience isn’t identical, but it’s close.
That’s not to say that Ubuntu and Linux Mint support identical hardware. That can change depending on which version of the Linux kernel each comes with. Other software decisions can affect what runs where. Ubuntu has more resources and users to point out problems, so you might find better support there. Your mileage may vary.
Linux Mint and Ubuntu both support UEFI. Linux Mint is not certified by Microsoft, so disable Secure Boot before attempting installation. With Ubuntu, you can leave Secure Boot enabled.
Most distros default to one of the standard Linux desktop environments. Both Ubuntu and Linux Mint develop their own.
Ubuntu uses the Unity interface 3 Dead-Wrong, Yet Common Complaints About Unity & Ubuntu 3 Dead-Wrong, Yet Common Complaints About Unity & Ubuntu Do you hate Ubuntu's new interface, Unity?

One holdout, the Ubuntu Software Center, went away in the latest release. Now Ubuntu uses GNOME Software alongside many other GNOME apps.

In response to the same issue, Linux Mint is introducing X-Apps. These are generic applications aimed at traditional GTK desktop environments. They continue to use titlebars and menubars, elements the GNOME desktop has phased out for GNOME 3.x. The screenshot below shows Xviewer, an alternative image viewer to Eye of GNOME.
The team develops many apps specifically for Linux Mint. The distro has its own package manager, backup tool, upload manager, and others.
In either case, you will be able to continue using the vast majority of the open source software you know and love.
Official Spins.
There are ten versions of Ubuntu listed on the distro’s website. Besides the Unity desktop, you have alternative “flavors” that default to GNOME, KDE, LXDE, XFCE, MATE, and MythTV. There are also specialized distributions, such as Edubuntu for education, Ubuntu Studio for multimedia producers, and Ubuntu Kylin for Chinese users.
Linux Mint has four main options. There’s Cinnamon, MATE, KDE, and XFCE. 17.3 has two versions, one with and without codecs, but this will change with version 18. There are also OEM images that manufacturers can use to pre-instal Mint.
Both distros let you set up your own desktop environments, but if you want to experiment with a bunch without configuring things yourself, Ubuntu is the way to go.
Ubuntu vs. Linux Mint: Which Will You Choose?
Ubuntu is the more well-known of the two distros, but Linux Mint is also one of the most popular out there. Both provide users with a great introduction to Linux. More Ubuntu-related web content exists due to the size of its community, which is a big help when you’re starting off. But much of what applies to Ubuntu also applies to Mint.
So, the choice is yours. Which distro do you prefer? If you have experience with either one, you’re welcome to tell your story in the comments.

i thought you were gonna tell us which one to install but you didnt waste of time.
Sorry for my english, but i think it`s not necessary to cover, software/hardware disable the webcam if you have an led near the camera that ligths on when is active.
The real problem is the MICROPHONE.
You just posted on the wrong article.
Your comment belongs to the subject below.
My one big problem with Mint is the philosophy of clinging to everything old and calling it stable. Even Cinnamon is based on an older Gnome 3 fork. And when asked about Wayland support, the answer was basically "no, we won't put an ounce of effort into it ourselves, but if some else wants to do all of the work then we may incorporate it in the future. We can fork a Desktop Environment and make it our own, but backporting features like that is just too much."
And when I say "clinging to everything old" I mean like the kernel which by default is the 4.4 branch for mint 18.x, as well as several other packages. Even Cinnamon, their own DE is an old branch.
The thing is, I've been a mint user for years, from the death of Gnome 2 onward, even when Cinnamon was nothing more than a broken Gnome 3 extension. But it feels as they fork more and more things to have it their own way, they fall further behind and I often find myself adding dozens of PPAs in order to just to have up to date versions of programs instead of old and broken ones.
It's so sad how you're literally wrong on every single point, yet so determined that you're right. Nothing is "old", you just don't understand ANY of it.
Ubuntu with unity is not an option as it will discontinue. So you have exactly one choices. decide well.
Of these two distros the only real notable difference to me is stylistic and as such I prefer Mint in almost every respect. From the name to the color scheme to the default environment I think Mint is a bit better.
I've used multiple different distros and found that while they can be dissimilar they're not THAT dissimilar. If you can use any of them you already have the basics of the others. I like many different distros. Mint, Ubuntu, Elementary, SUSE, Fedora, PCLinuxOS, Peppermint. I've ran all these and more and keep coming back to Mint. Between Mint and Ubuntu it's mainly a stylistic difference and I like everything about Mint more than Ubuntu. From the name to the color scheme to the default desktop I prefer mint.
I've been using Mint for several years now, and really like the MATE interface. I did hear one thing that worries me a bit; according to some, Mint isn't really a fully supported distribution, it's an Ubuntu LTS version with non-Open Source packages added on for ease of use or functionality, but the concern is that they have disabled updates for some packages to keep them from breaking the add-ons, which leaves some packages without security fixes or bug fixes. I don't know the specifics, but it's cause for concern. Does anyone know more about this, and how much of a risk it is?
Mint has all the features to connect to a windows network or windows phone, therefore it is the easiest to start with coming from windows.
I think if someone wants to stick with just desktop and everyday use both are good, but if he/she wants to start with desktop and move to more advanced user or a server , system administrator , then Ubuntu is the right choice.
Ubuntu 16.10 is fine for me.
I say Mint but my friend prefers Ubuntu.
If only they could make it gamer friendly , like Windows , then it will be the champion OS system ever to hit the earth. I currently use Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and am very happy only gaming side lacking .
Then install Steam. There are plenty of games for linux. You don't appear to have even looked.
Hello guys i have and im using ubuntu and mint for some time ,and personally for me there's no doubt Mint is the best :)
Glad you know what works for you!
i would prefer both as my suggestion is both are authoritian linux.if you would like for music,videos,movies then move onto linux mint and for more over developement process process to the king of linux Ubuntu.
i have tried various linux versions for a very long time now trying to get away from windows. Mint finally did it. Thank you and goodbye to windows 10.
I just bought a new laptop and used windows 10 for less than a week before deciding I had to kill it and install Mint. The proprietary harassment in windows 10 is constant and intense. It keeps harassing you to sign in to Microslop in order to do anything. Can't get rid of the idiot Microslop office demos (which require a subscription?!).
Linux is FREEDOM and POWER.
I have done the same thing now running Linux Mint 18.1, never , never going back to Microsoft Windows 10 or any other MS OS.
I've been using ubuntu variations since 2009, starting with Gnome, but then Unity came out and could only live with it after lots of tweaking so I started looking for alternatives and came across Kubuntu.
Kubuntu is a variation of ubuntu packaged with the KDE "desktop environment" and a slightly different suite of applications, and loved it from the start. It worked well out of the box but also provides a very comprehensive array of config settings and I'm convinced that Kubuntu provides better applications out of the box compared to ubuntu (e.g. file manager and terminal have more features, and a wider range of desktop widgets).
However, there have always been occasional application crashes and some difficulty with graphics drivers, wifi cards and multi-display setups so I thought I'd try Mint 18 and so far, I have found it to be more stable, and less resource hungry. In terms of user experience, I tried the "Mate" desktop environment with Mint but didn't think it was anything special so I've gone back to using the tried and tested KDE environment with Mint. (The only application I missed is Kubuntu's terminal application "konsole" but then I've been able to install this separately).
In summary: Kubuntu is very impressive and got me hooked and even converted my not so tech savvy wife to move away from Windows, but Mint + KDE is probably now my distro of choice. But they're all free so play around and embrace the command line.
Fedora wins this comparison! ;)
How childish. Just because your preferred distribution is Fedora doesn't mean you have to make such pointless comments.
A joke, by design, is not meant to be taken seriously.
To be fair, he did put a "winky smiley" - I'm sure he meant it as a joke.
I've used Windows for years and nothing else. I can't make sense out of your explanations. All those names and abbreviations are like sifting shaff. It doesn't inform. So eliminate the blah-blah and talk plain English. Thank you.
You're right, some parts of this post do assume a familiarity with certain aspects of Linux. If you're approaching from Windows for the first time, we do have other posts that attempt to speak to complete newcomers -- such as this one: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/best-linux-distro-first-time-switchers-windows-mac/
I can't make a comment about Ubuntu, as I don't have any experience (directly) with it. But, I must say that Linux Mint has been a good OS to work with. I've spent several years getting to know it (from ver. 14), first running it in a virtual environment, then dual booting with Windows as my primary OS, and now running strictly Linux Mint 17.3 (OK. I still have my Windows partition running occasionally within VirtualBox for iTunes, Garmin updates, and a few other things).
I think that no matter which Linux distro you choose, anyone transitioning from Windows will have some sort of learning curve with Linux (terminal environment, proprietary drivers when open-source versions won't work, etc). Even though the article mentions the Ubuntu community is bigger, there are many sites/resources available for Linux Mint that help you maximize productivity. The "Windows List with App Grouping" applet, for example, lets the Linux Mint panel behave very similarly to the taskbar in Windows 7 with Aero effects (thumbnail preview, etc).
Used Ubuntu since version 12.04 - every time with new updates, video card broke on my machine Dell XPS 210 and need to reinstall many time - until Ubuntu 16.04 works fine for awhile and then got new issue, log on and got blank screen.
I think Unity is very efficient tool to use the computer as a whole. After using it for the last couple of years, I'm so used to +type_whatever_you_want that I can't get back to any menu, point and click interface. Now I use less mouse and more the keyboard - which improves my productivity.
I don't really agree that Unity is difficult, maybe it is unintuitive for people coming from "menu" worlds like Windows, but as a separate entity - it is very user friendly and easy to use. All you need to do is to hit the Ubuntu button and type whatever you want to open: an application, a file, or pick one of the last used items.
Interesting. This is what many of us see in discussions like this, and hear from users and administrators all the time: an almost universal dislike for Unity. Despite people citing similarity to OS X, users find it nowhere near as user-friendly as a Mac. First-time users are often completely lost in Unity, as almost everything about it is non-obvious. I believe the quest for a "new and different" GUI significantly different from commercially produced GUIs has blinded many folks to fundamental usability issues. The Mint developers, in my opinion and in that of many of my students, have paid far more attention to "out-of-the-box" usability.
I have been messing with linux for the last 10-15 yrs. Started with Redhat and couldn't make heads or tails of it at first. Fastfoward a couple of years and I starting messing with Ubuntu. Loved it . until Unity. I made myself use it for two months thinking I would get used to it. Never did. I saw a few screenshots on Mint 10 Kde and I really liked the look of it. So I ditched Unity and been a big mint kde fan ever since. I recently installed mint cinnamon on a virtualbox machine on my window gaming pc and really like it as well. Having messed with dozens of different distro's over the years, my humble opinion is Mint is the most user friendly distro for beginners. It just plain works. Two thumbs up for Mint.
Yes, I also started disliking Ubuntu after Unity.
I also used Ubuntu till Unity and then dropped it.
Used Fedora for some time, and now use Mint MATE or Cinnamon almost always. For work sometimes use Windows, but switch back to Mint every time.
I am fairly new to the huge world of Linux platform, however i think the selection between these two distributions depends on type of user itself. Leaving the technical details like both coming from Debian family and all, User experience is what distinguishes each other. Ubuntu with unity provides its own unique look and feel, sometimes even overwhelming specially to new users,the software distribution and packaging (even though getting simpler and simpler now a days) can also prove to be a bit confusing at the beginning(once again for newbies like me - migrating from windows), How ever a great distribution with huge support community.
On the other hand Linux Mint provides more of a out of the box feeling, default installation provides many tools and utilities pre-installed, easier to get used to Linux platform. The cinnamon environment of Mint provides a simple windows like interface, making it easier to get used to.
In the end, the distributions (at-least for me) are pretty much same with different faces, and the selection goes to the type of user itself. How ever i would recommend Mint to begin Linux journey and once comfortable, one can move to Ubuntu(my favorite distribution) , or stick with Mint or even try out from so many other.
Good observation and recommendation.
Thank you. That was the comment i was searching for.
I don't know if you're good or what, but i'll trust you. And for my own experience with both distributions, i agree even if Ubuntu isn't that hard for starters.
Now let's grab an iso for this hungry new computer ! hagl.
This is the kind of comment I was scrolling all the way down to find. Why would I want Windows feature on Linux?. Why did I move out of Windows in the first place?. It's like using Windows Mobile launcher on an Android device. That's completely absurd. Unity, for me is a perfect shot at UNIQUENESS.
I love Ubuntu and I stick to it.
I am running Xubuntu 16.04 on my desktop and LinuxMint 17, MATE edition, on my old EeePC netbook. I like them both, each in its place; but I am getting worried about the new packaging system Ubuntu in going to introduce . removing the maintainer interface between the package developer and the user is removing a layer of security. SO I am thinking of switching to a distro that won't do that to me. I depend on the distro maintainers to filter software for malware, whether intentional or unintentional.
I like both but prefer Linux Mint. I do my administration from the GUI and like a minimal amount of it. Linux Mint "just works" (Details below).
My netbook runs Ubuntu Mate (Because of performance) and has a daily popup error message which I click to send the error information. When I shut it down there is always some background thing still running I need to force closed. I mention this not to complain but only to point out part of my preference for Mint is: I like a predictable, minimalist UI but find popups, error messages and glitches far uglier than subtle aesthetics. I know I could go find the information then fix what's wrong, but, don't want to bother.
Good comment; thank you. I refurbish scrap laptops using Edubuntu, change the language to Spanish and give them to users in Central America. I am going to try Mint.
I do find the abbreviations and techno-babble in theLinux universe off putting.
I also was a Ubuntu uses from the start and finally got it working properly in 2009. Before then it was a work in progress. When Unity was release Hell froze over and I was annoyed,as it seemed almost impossible to navigate. So I turned to LinuxMint and I have been using LinuxMint ever since. The latest Ubuntu 16.04 and LinuxMint 18 do work well and still support installing proprietary drivers. However they both do not support FGLRX that is AMD/ATI Video drivers as AMD have not made a compatible driver to work with Mesa 1.8 yet. Mesa is an open source driver always present in both distros. So if you use Steam the gaming platform and have a Nvidia Graphics card then it is safe to use Ubuntu 16.04 or LinuxMint 18. If you use Steam and have an AMD/ATI graphics card then you should use Ubuntu 15 or LinuxMint 17.3 until AMD release the Crimson drivers that will fix this issue later in the year.
This is good to know. Many Ubuntu and Linux Mint users are gamers.
Ubuntu was fine until The Dash came along in Unity. Since then I struggled with it and finally gave it up for Mint. Mint solved several problems I had at the time with network manager guis and the like. It has always been rather compatible with my laptop. But recently I installed on a new laptop and had trouble with the Mint 16 image. So I tried Ubuntu Gnome again, and I find it's quite usable now.
I'm also a fan of the latest versions of GNOME.
like FCD76218 i prefer pclinuxos.
Same here. I also like Peppermint. Works well with old computers with limited resources.
Having been a long-time Windows user, I decided to try Linux. I went for Ubunti. Installation was easy and all seemed well until I came to use the software. Everything seems to revolve around Unity Dash and it just wouldn't work for me. Click the button and my video went crazy. I spent three days trying to sort it.
Being fairly pc savvy I tried the user base but couldn't find anything. Played with video modes but guess what - as far as I can see you need Unity Dash to open Terminal.
Totally frustrated I turned to Linux Mint. Popped the DVD in my drive, everything installed first time and I've been happily using Mint ever since.
Ctrl+Alt+T opens the terminal.
Install Classic Menu Indicator.
The classic menu quit working and the Unity programs bar simply had too many programs to be practical. It is a pain to scroll thru it as it is far to easy to go passed what one trying to start. Had I only a few programs, Ubuntu 16.04 would have been passable but with the additional programs things seemed buggy. I went to Mint Mate 18.1 and then I added a bunch software some from the repository and others directly. MM is better and nice to work with.
I'm not that smart when it comes to linux. I've tried so many flavors of linux, but only do some basic coding. I hate Unity. I have used Mint and it works well. But I have been using Zorin for several years, and have installed it on pc's for people who had XP and didn't want a new Windows OS. Easy to use, my wireless HP printer works fine. For most people Mint or Zorin will do more than they ever need.
Was with Ubuntu until they introduced Unity. Found Mint as an alternative. currently running Mint with xFce on two of my machines.
When I started out with Linux many years ago, I was a die hard Ubuntu user until Unity came along. So looking for an alternative I switched to Mint and I haven't looked back. When Cinnamon became part of Mint, the whole experience became so much better.
What I like about Linux Mint is that it doesn't give a sh** about "only open source" software, and has some proprietary codecs, drivers, and software bundled in. I like open source better, but when it comes to the user experience, I don't mind using proprietary software to achieve a great experience.
This is an upside to having options. I personally prefer to only use open source software, so I've never seen much reason to try Mint. But it's a great distro for people who would prefer for music and video to just work.
Between the two, I chose PCLinuxOS because I do not like anything Ubuntu-based. I want to setup my system the way I like, not the way St. Mark and St. Clement decree I should have it set up. PCLinuxOS is just as beginner friendly as Ubuntu and Mint. The problem is, it is not pushed nearly as hard by pundits and tech writers.
I also prefer not to use Ubuntu-based distros. I have no problem writing about them, but they're not where I feel most comfortable.
I am in the early stages of telling Gates & co. to go pound sand, so I'm nowhere near being a Linux expert. I've been playing around with Ubuntu, Mint and Zorin. I'm quite impressed with Zorin, though it doesn't seem to have the user base that the other two have.

Graphics Enhancement For Gaming.
A better visual experience for your favorite gaming console. Real-time lag-free graphics enhancement and contextual anti-aliasing.
Aliasing: a pixel resolution problem.
In graphics rendering, mapping contiguous lines into finite pixels creates a problem called "aliasing". Aliasing is commonly characterized by visibly annoying symptoms like jagged edges, crawling along edges, and shimmering in texture.
Aliasing is made worse by limited GPU resources in current game console platforms. Rendered resolution achieved in the console is not sufficient.
PS3/XBox 360 games mostly rendered at 720p. PS4/Xbox One games rendered at 1080p or below.
There is not enough processing power left inside the console to mitigate aliasing. An outside-the-box solution is needed.
mCable Gamer Edition brings an advanced graphics post-processing engine on a HDMI cable. The benefits are eye catching:
Contextual anti-aliasing : removes jaggies without noticeable blur. Adaptive resolution scaling : scales native rendered resolution to match display. High frame rate support : support frame rates up to 1080p120. Sub-1ms lag : game at your dreamed speed.

Greatly increases PSVR performance with a standard PS4!
Posted by Miguel Miranda Barrientos on Oct 25th 2017.
I have purchased this cable for PSVR gaming. According to other users, changes with a PS4 Pro are not so much noticeable, but I can assure that at least on a standard PS4 it works very well, bringing that extra power needed to manage the virtual reality. Anti-aliasing is awesome, really awesome, so all appears to be more clear, and it is easier to read the text on the screen. This is due to real extra processing power, not only a image filter. Also, since PSVR has no options for color or contrast management, the adjustments made by the own cable are very welcome.
Great Upscaler to 4k with a fault.
Posted by Nathaniel Jewell on Oct 25th 2017.
My 720p and 1080p content look amazing on my 4k tv with this Upscaler, however I have to get up to unplug the usb power repeatedly to get the cord working because it can randomly stop working quite often. I assume it's overheating issues.
Legit! Improves Nintendo Switch games dramatically!
Posted by B Dub on Oct 23rd 2017.
This cable is legit. I was skeptical of just how much another HDMI cable could improve the picture quality but boy was I wrong! This cable really cleans up the image on Switch games like Zelda, Mario Kart and Fast RMX (and soon Mario Odyssey). No more jagged lines! Colors have more POP! I was shocked at the difference. Kept switching back and forth between the regular HDMI and the mcable. This cable is legit! Expensive, but legit!
Disregard my previous review.
Posted by Christian W on Oct 20th 2017.
It works! You can improve the picture quality of your PSVR with this cable. You need to connect the „Source“ side to the right HDMI-port on the front of the PSVR processor box, and the TV-side to the now available HDMI plug with a female-female adaptor.
Does not work with PSVR.
Posted by Christian W on Oct 20th 2017.
The dream is dead.
- The PS4 image is only displayed (processor box only turns on) when you turn on the headset. Before that, the TV stays black.
- When using the PSVR headset, the forwarded picture to the TV turns black, thus removing any chance for asynchronous multiplayer or spectators in the room.
- When the PSVR headset switches from „cinema screen mode“ to VR mode, the headset somehow doesn‘t notice this.
Please double check your settings and connections. mCable Gaming edition does work prefect with Sony PSVR.

Nice performance on Nintendo Switch.
Posted by Ruben Aguilar on Oct 14th 2017.
First of all, the cable is pricey, but the performance that offers worth the price. The improvement on the Nintendo Switch games tested was pretty noticeable. I only can recommend it.
Posted by Nicholas Legg on Oct 13th 2017.
Even after watching videos and checking out reviews I was still blown away by how well they work. It looks like you've enabled something around 4X MSAA, and for some console games that makes such a huge image quality difference.
Posted by Francis on Oct 12th 2017.
First of, kudos to Marseille for making an expensive cable that actually does something, now on with the review, picture quality is noticeably better, it's way sharper, adds a bit of AA, and with more pronounced contrast, that being said it's still not perfect, it adds a wee bit of delay, nothing really major, but there's a slight feel to it when using a mouse on a pc, wich is understandable since there's actual processing going on in there, and the other thing is not really a problem, but just know that you'll need to re-calibrate your tv/monitor as it does change the gamma and contrast curve. So in the end, if you're all for eye candy, you've got the money to spare and you're not doing competitive gaming with a mouse, it's for you, word of advice to Canadians tough, expect a cost of over 200$ with change rate and border fees.

Most notably the biggest industry player that I'm sure you all know, whose HDMI cables come in several "bandwidth tiers" and can be seen in retail stores worldwide for between $50 and $150.

Testberichte.
Microsoft Xbox One X.
Fünf aktuelle Konsolen im Test.
Der Konsolenmarkt wird dominiert von den großen Drei: Sony, Microsoft und Nintendo. Die aktuellen Gaming-Maschinen dieser drei Hersteller wurden von der TESTBild passend zum Weihnachtsgeschäft noch einmal bezüglich der Hardware und ihrer Funktionen untersucht. Als bisher stärkste gebaute Konsole geht die Xbox One X von Microsoft als Sieger aus diesem Vergleich hervor. Sie spielt Spiele in voller 4K-Auflösung und hat eine große Spiele-Bibliothek zu bieten. Mit der PlayStation 4 Pro landet Sony auf dem zweiten Platz. Auch diese Konsole hat viele Spiele zu bieten, kommt aber zusätzlich mit VR-Funktionalität daher. Die Xbox One S wiederum hat der Pro das 4K-Blu-ray-Laufwerk voraus, schafft Spiele aber nur in geringerer Full-HD-Auflösung statt in hochgerechnetem 4K. Es reicht für Platz 3.
Microsoft Xbox One X.
ComputerBild testet 3 Spiele-Konsolen.
Die Computer Bild beäugt die drei aktuellen Stars am Konsolen-Himmel. Testsieger wurde die Xbox One X von Microsoft als technisch ausgereiftestes Produkt. Aber nur hauchdünn dahinter: Die Sony Playstation, die sich gegenüber der Testsiegerin mit einem besseren Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis auf Platz 2 positionieren konnte. Knapp an der einer "guten" Gesamtbewertung schrammte die drittplatzierte Xbox One S vorbei.
Sony PlayStation 4 Pro 1TB.
Die TESTBild hat fünf Konsolen miteinander verglichen.
Ein Fernseher dient nicht nur dazu, sich dem täglichen TV-Programm hinzugeben, sondern kann für andere Formen des Entertainments eingesetzt werden. So lässt sich beispielsweise eine Videospielkonsole daran anschließen, um sich in digitalen Welten zu verlieren. Welche Hardware das am besten kann, hat die TESTBild in der Ausgabe 01/2017 zuammengestellt. Anhand des Magazins sollten Interessenten zur PlayStation 4 Pro greifen, da diese die momentan beste Bildqualität bietet. Dank des geringen Energieverbrauchs, der leisen Betriebsgeräusche und dem 4K-Bluray-Player gelangt die Xbox One S auf Platz 2. Mit der PlayStation 4 Slim darf sich Sony auch noch den dritten Platz sichern. Sie arbeitet leise und verbraucht wenig Energie.

Microsoft Xbox One vs. Sony PlayStation 4: Die Videofunktionen.
Das Magazin Video testet die Videofunktionen der beiden neuen Spielekonsolen Xbox One von Microsoft und PlayStation 4 von Sony. Das Gerät aus dem Hause Microsoft sichert sich den ersten Rang mit deutlichem Abstand. Das Magazin kommt zu dem Fazit, dass beide Konsolen perfekt zum Spielen geeignet sind, als Blu-ray-Player sind sie derzeit (Stand: 07.01.2013) jedoch nur bedingt zum empfehlen.
Sony PS3 SLIM - 250GB.
ETM Testmagazin hat vier Videospielkonsolen verglichen. Getestet wurden drei Marktführer und die günstige Variante TA Multimedia Wireless TV Game Console (70,3). Sie wird zwar als Preis-/Leistungssieger ausgezeichnet, bietet jedoch nur recht simplen Spielspaß auf Retroebene. Die Konsolen bringen verschiedene Stärken mit: Testsieger ist Sonys PlayStation 3 (91,3), ein Highlight für Filmfans, die sich durch die große Spielauswahl und der Move-Bewegungssteuerung zum modernen Allroundtalent qualifiziert. Die Xbox von Microsoft (89,6) punktet mit dem innovativen Bewegungssensor Kinect und eignet sich besonders für Freunde von Online-Multiplayer-Spielen. Die Nintendo Wii (88,3) verzichtet auf multimediale Fähigkeiten, bietet dafür jedoch den höchsten Bewegungsspaß.
