40 inch monitors seem too big
1 X 24'' on 1080p is all you need.
But get an IP monitor.
Don't get cancer.

What is the difference between a distro and a flavor?
One taste like cum, while the other doesn't.
distro - DE+package manager+additional packages combination
flavor - only DE is different
>>58737077
different distro means different kot, regrdless whether he eats blinyi or fried chicken legs.
different flavour means same kot, but he eats either blinyi or fried chickenn legs.

Help me /g/ I accidentally fucked up my MBR
I had issues with Ubuntu, so I decided to uninstall and reinstall. First, I jumped into Windows and manually deleted the partition for Ubuntu in Disk Management, which left nothing but a basic version of grub - not everything went. Next, I booted up a live version of ubuntu and I installed Ubuntu again in order for it to be detected on OS-uninstaller - figured this would cleanly remove everything. Next, I rebooted to see if grub was still there - it was. I then rebooted into live again and used gparted to delete any fat32 partitions and anything related to Ubuntu, while trying to keep windows partitions. I finished that, and rebooted - no bash, no windows - nothing. Literally just some intel shit, so I figured I deleted The MBR. Now I'm trying to install Ubuntu again so I at least have an OS, but when I go to boot options on my BIOS, all I can see under UEFI is Onboard IPv4 & IPv6 - no legacy. I can't even see my USB with Ubuntu on it, and I can't boot to it. What the fuck do I do?
>>58737061
Assuming you have no cd, get a bootable usb stick prepared on a working computer.
Take a MBR from your mum's computer and stuff it into your own.
I'm not completely sure what you've done, but theoretically you should be able to swap out the hard drive on any PC for a blank one and boot from a USB to install an OS,
I'm going to take a shot in the dark and assume your USB is not UEFI compatible?
You can turn on legacy USB in the BIOS (Intel shit), or install a UEFI version of the installation onto a USB disk
Can a program ever experience the taste of oranges?
A machine could analyze the oranges and have a better understanding of the taste than any human could
>>58736987
If it could, how would you be able to tell it's not just pretending?
The question should be 'can a program ever convince you it can experience the taste of oranges'.

Alright /g/, I've a story for you. This happened over the last few days. I'm a night owl, so nights. I figured I'd try Ubuntu again for shits 'n gigs, and had to do some meta shit get outa this one.
>> Install Ubuntu on main drive, erasing everything. Important shit was backed up to a drive with a faulty MFT. I didn't know 'til later.
>> Pain in the ass to install proprietary drivers for old-as-balls WMP54G Wireless (yea, yea laugh it off) and Nvidia drivers. I've done this before, so I expected it.
I figured that the drivers that shipped with Ubuntu could handle the sound card I had in the computer.
>> Try to play music.
>> No sound.
Well, shit.
>>58736881
>> Search the internet for Creative Sound Blaster Zx proprietary drivers.
>> Only thing I find is a three year old forum post that requires kernel modifications.
>> Not about to do that shit.
No fucking way. The Sound card brand I'm using is practically a family tradition. My father used the Audigy series all the time to record his music. Also, no other sound card.
>> No Windows installation disk.
>> Download Windows ISO
>> No burnable DVDs. Fine, I'll use the USB stick I used to install Ubuntu.
>> Install Unetbootin.
>> First attempt to flash the USB drive results in a program hang
I think it's because I let Ubuntu suspend while Unetbootin was doing its job.
>> Second attempt succeeds
>> Restart computer
>> Attempt to boot from USB stick
>> Motherboard BIOS hangs.
Fuckin' hell.
>>58736881
change the output source in the sound settings
>>58737016
This is a UEFI compatible bios we're talking about. It's not that fucking old.
>> Reboot into Ubuntu
>> I try to flash the USB stick about two more times with Unetbootin to no avail.
Time to try something else. Another program maybe?
>> Look for a Rufus Linux fork.
>> Find nothing
>> A dull, grey light bulb goes off in my head
"Maybe if Wine can run Rufus it will recognize the drives on my computer."
>> Thought the dumbass.
>> Install Wine
>> Try to run Rufus. It starts just fine, but shows no drives or flashing options.
Well no shit.
>> Look for alternative to Unetbootin. Find something called Etch.
>> Install it.
>> It has a flashy modern interface.
>> It succeeds in flashing the USB stick.
Bear in mind, I'm formatting the USB stick every time I do this. I'm not simply overwriting files.
>> Restart computer
>> Try to boot from USB stick
>> Motherboard hangs again
SHIT!
>> Day fuckin' two, no dice.

You are watching it wrong.
>>58736835
Mactoddlers will defend this.
>>58736835
it's got one more k though. I want them to take my money.
>>58736835
Truly revolutionary. Poorfags just don't understand how much courage it takes to release a monitor without EM shielding. Apple does it again.
Daily reminder!!!

What's with all the hate on Arch?
>>58736619
It's a meem bistro that brews skiddos that genuinely think they learned something important once they got through the tedious configuration.
I don't hate Arch but I don't really see the appeal because by the time I'm done configuring the system and adding my programs it's about as bloated as a vanilla ubuntu install
>>58736635
I agree it was very easy to setup, but that doesn't make it a bad OS.

Thanks OP, you just made me laugh.
i learned java and done some application. i learned python and created web app without graphics(HTML and CSS not found). Should i learn Go, C++ or web(JS+HTML+CSS) ? Choose my path.
Just start building android apps. Launch a start up. You can do it.
>>58736440
Learn Dartlang. There's a good chance Google will replace Android dev with Dart, Google's FuchsiaOS will have Dart-only development, AngularDart is a thing now and Dart is just beautiful.
>>58736440
learn haskell, it will expand your world of paradigms on programming languages :^) but if those are the only possible choices, perhaps web dev with django/flask and ofc js html css...
i know close to nothing about Go and C++ I don't find much useful these days.

what kind of project do you recommend to do for this?
What kind of project has the difficulty that a newbie can assume and that can make a company want you.
>>58736335
No idea + project in particular is going to make you hireable, so pick something that will challenge you and force you to learn something new.
>>58736335
