So /g/, I was thinking about something today,
What got all of you into linux? and when was the first time you ever dabbled with it?
There was a point in time in my life where I had a very limited amount of computer hardware, this being around mid to late 2012 to early 2013. The main little laptop's charger I had crapped out, and I had no money to get a new one, so for a while all I had was this old Dell GX620 with 1GB ddr2 and a myriad of small capacity, not so great harddrives. I tried a windows 7 install, and did that for a while, but really became dissatisfy with the performance. So naturally I eventually found out about Ubuntu, which seemed to be much more popular and relevant then than it is now ( just a passing thought ), and found that the system requirements were pretty low. I gave it a go, and was pretty surprised by the performance increase, and really drawn in with the intricacies of a different operating environment than what I am normally use too. It was pretty much downhill from there.
But it occurred to me that that isn't most likely the case for everyone here, and I am curious to hear how it was that you "cut your teeth".

I've always liked the idea of Linux, however, I only recently started using it on my laptop due to me building my own desktop. It's comfy and it doesn't use much resources on my beat up laptop
I keep doing the same shit for higher performance costs. Downloading an entire repository of your preferred distro solves that.
>>58782172
I'm a natural born coder. I use Linux at a friend one when 18 and I was impressed by an OS which really obey to commands. Mac OS and Windows are OS for slaves, Linux is for masters.
Much more SKUs than I thought.
What is pro? Unlocked?
>>58782144
all ryzen is unlocked
The 6 core chips look identical. What will be the difference? Better binning?
>yes, yes good goy! give us your software you worked so hard on for free! software should be free for everyone!
why do people fall for free software meme again? why is it even a thing?

pajeet my son
Indian government sent a letter.
They want you back.
>>58782037
Why should I trust your abysmal program you've "worked so hard on" when you won't even show me what it does? If I buy a book, it belongs to the author and publisher as intellectual and copyright property, but nonetheless I'm allowed to read it to my discretion. Why would anyone pay money for a book they cannot read?
Why does Linux eat laptop batteries so fast? I get a quarter of the RAM usage as Windows, never get high on CPU usage, and always have low brightness.
I may get 3 hours on the battery only running a teminal or two programming. But, I can have multiple firefox tabs open plus a bloated IDE on Windows and stretch 8 hours.
>>58781807
Lies lies
When I was running Windows, I could not hold longer than 2 hours of video/ 6 hours code/text processing.
Now I'm on Linux: 3+ hours video, endless battery otherwise.
>>58781807
Your power management sucks.
You have to do it manually and I doubt you've looked into it much if you're complaining here.
>>58781807
GNU/Linux is made by a toe jam eating transphobic pedophile and a filthy foreigner.
What is the right choice /g/ and why is it WPF?
>>58781731
Node.JS
>>58781731
Are you a retard? Nobody use this WPF shit anymore.
Please we are in 2017 not 2005!
>>58783621
Lewd. I actually looked at this shit as a legit way to do multiplatform in 2019, but it turns out it's a fucking mess. Insecure, can't close your code unless you make it slow as shit or on the web, shitty support and community, bullshit implementation all over, fuck that shit.
Why are all gaming mini pcs cancer /g/?
inb4 not mini

I dunno op why don't you enlighten us with your reasoning instead of a cancerous shit post.

WAKE ME UP
Just say you like it, are glad they bought it and that it helps a lot while fixing it silently.
Ungrateful shit.
>>58781660
>Just say you like it, are glad they bought it and that it helps a lot while fixing it silently.
This. Why can't you just configure it silently instead of chimping out like a retard?
>>58781660
I can't be fucked, like I said, it's exactly the same. Now we just have another router listed that's less secure than the old one. That'd be the only thing to fix, since my computer's card isn't compatible with 5ghz anyway.
I refuse to continue to stay silent about the family's retarded choices when it comes to technology. They're intelligent people, and it's like they're willfully ignorant about this one particular area.
What are you working on, /g/?
Old thread: >>58775678

Good for you anon, I hope I get a good job after I graduate university. Approximately what area do you live and in which field?
>>58781539

Implementing a decision tree and have it use my sadpanda favorites to try to decide if any given gallery will suit my taste.
Stallman is coming to talk at my school next month what should i expect /g

Smells bad

Your telling me your going to hear this guy talk at your school if I were you I wouldn't go.

AS what is the real diference between open and free software besided political bullshit, then proceed to ask why open source has taken off and it's a major player in today's computing while free software is dying.
What's the best Windows OS? 7, 8.1, or 10?
>inb4 install linux XD
Not falling for that meme boys.
I personally didn't see a difference between 7 and 8.1, but I'm told that the latter can be slightly better performing. Maybe it's more obvious if you aren't running fast components.
/r/pcmasterrace called, they want you back
>>58781500
Install Linux XD
Apple has dropped the requirement that macOS must run, bare metal or virtualized, on genuine Apple hardware for Amazon AWS.
The image Apple has provided is locked to AWS and can't be used to boot non-Amazon machines.
The move comes after several state Departments of Educations threatening to drop Macs from schools due to lack of cheap, centralized, hosted administration server options for Mac.
macOS servers look slick as fuck. Shame they don't care about making a decent server OS.
I'm surprised they even care that much, to be honest. My understanding was that cornering the education sector was like getting you first score on the cheap so that the dealer has you hooked for years. But it's no longer exposure to the OS which gets young adults to buy (or have bought for them) Macbooks. It's fashion.
I guess maybe university fine arts programs might still get students suckling on Apple's teet but that wouldn't have anything to do with DoEs.
Weird. I'm thinking it's a different motivation than what you just provided.
>>58781475
Nor a decent OS.
so I'm learning java and I'm trying to write a program that prompts the user for exam scores (values 1-100), and when the user enter some negative number to end the entering sequence, it will then print out the number of scores entered, the highest score, the lowest score, and the average of all the scores.
I'm being challenged to do this with simple comparison statements and loops, and WITHOUT using arrays.
I'm kinda stumped here.
This is what I have so far.
import java.util.*;
import java.text.DecimalFormat;
public class Lab3
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat("0.00");
String input;
double examScores;
System.out.println("Exam score: ");
input = sc.nextLine();
examScores = Double.parseDouble(input);
}
}
>>58781348
>java
best advice is just install gentoo
>>58781361
what
>>58781348
You have no loops, come back when you actually try.
Stallman literally btfo!

Post time, I can't hear this commie talking for too long.

Stallman isn't a commie tho. You'd know that if you knew anything about him.
The kremlin's useful idiot.
I want to register a domain.
Lets say I live in the US, as example, I want to register 4chn.uk.
I then pronounce my name "4chan UK".
Can 4chan.org sue me for looking similar and sounding the same?
Are you the owner of Google.com?
>>58781272
Google.com
>>58781202
>Can 4chan.org sue me for looking similar and sounding the same?- 1 post shown.
If 4chan, Inc. owns a registered trademark, and your website is visually similar or easily mistakable for 4chan, Inc.'s, then yes.
As well, they may petition ICANN to remove your website if a trademark infringement is occurring.
None of this happens in real life except with yuge companies though.
>fresh install of windows 7
>amd gpu
>intel cpu
it doesn't get better than this lads

if only windows 10 had classic shell theme
>>58781189
But it does! Swap that garbage AMD gpu for a 1070 or 1080.
