My Opera"Linux will take over the desktop market in the near future"

Or so the fanatics claim.
Well, after having spent so far 3 days trying to get fullscreen video from the Linux box to the TV, I have my doubts.
It took me a day to get the proprietary Nvidia drivers installed, another day to get a picture on the TV screen and that's all I have for now. There is a nice picture of my desktop on the TV but the programs I start on the pc don't show at all and in order to get this far I am editing a bunch of text-files. I doubt very much that Linux is going to take over anything much desktop related until there is a less nerdified way of getting your pc to do what you want, although applications like Automatix are a great start.

Anyway you should be glad you have an Nvidia card and not one from ATI. I don't even bother installing the ATI drivers anymore.
