LaTeX is a well engineered product. Perhaps too well engineered. Over engineered?

LaTeX is a really great tool for large reports or an academic career. Once you have it set up it does a lot of work for you. Problem is that you need to set it up. For small projects LaTeX's overhead can be a deal killer.

word is better

And now that you know Latex, your next report will be way faster!

Pro tip: write the plain text first, with one file per section. The only markup you should have at this point is minimal stuff like \begin{section} so it will be easy to find your way around the PDF.

If you don't worry about stupid formatting, you can just get down to work.

You should also consider checking your text in to version control, so that you'll have backups and can easily go back to a previous version if you fuck something up.

systemd is good. Easy to configure, starts quickly. The only issue is they have a douchebag dev who refused to fix a bug, and that launched Linus into a tirade. systemd will eventually take over. sysvinit is dead.

bumping with cool fractals using recursion and OCaml

It thinks you're trying to run the program, not the symlink.

Try wine ./fallout

>>44343662
Oh, thank you. We're making progress, I just get a "masterfile not found error". Apparently it found fallout but not the other files in the same folder.

Ask in the stupid questions thread and I'll answer you.

Install gentoo

Numix

so what does systemd even do? let your shit boot up 1/2 a sec faster?

no worth it for something worse than the services.msc Microsoft uses.

GNOME is junk. They also blew all their donations on total bullshit not related at all to the project.

I wipe my ass with GNOME

>just werks
literally blame microsoft for using nonstandard formats

Yeah, I can really get behind LibreOffice in principle, but in practice it fucks all kinds of formatting up and one of my instructors just flat up told me "I won't take assignments from you using this program" so I've basically been railroaded.

Try OfficeOnline, OP. I gave it a test drive the other day and it actually worked pretty well. You need a M$ account to use it, but it's all the functionality of Office without being hooked entirely into the botnet.

...entirely. Sorry, Stallmanu. Some sacrifices must be made.

anything with an i3 or better with 8GB of RAM for your shitty bloated programs

>>44322703
Find something with an 870m or 880m I guess? Or build a much cheaper desktop and remote in from whatever you want I suppose.

>>44322781
That's a really good option that I didn't think of. I'll consider it

Any advice on specific models? Or even makers? Is Acer as shitty as they say?

iirc that's not possible unless you "cheat" and go through the houses. Once you know you can do that it's retardedly easy.

Yes you can have phonies in your chain of trust.

>how does a GPG signature guarantee that the software is legit?
It doesn't, but it guarantee that the software is the one the distributor signed and that you wasn't MITM'd

>>44196915
So you can never be 100% sure that the software you downloaded hasn't been tampered with?

pls respond

If you didn't mind programming on a vendor-specific hardware platform...
Ah fukkit, EmotionEngine made pretty pictures but sucked ass.

No. It was weak. The only reason the PS2 could hold a candle to the gamecube was because of its coprocessors. That meant it was much, much harder to optimize games for it, though.
The gamecube had a more familiar CPU and a better GPU. But developers who could figure out how to program for the PS2 properly could realize games on it that wouldn't work like that on the GC.

TL;DR The EE itself was a piece of shit.
