Linux is also PC you fag

The following pasta is relevant to the thread:
The no games argument is not true anymore. Windows is the best os for gaming mostly due to most game developers are trained into developing for it with microsoft's closed APIs, so the simple process of porting a game that was developed for windows to any other platform will affect negatively the performance of the game. This with the fact that the marketshare is small compared to windows there's hardly an incentive at the moment to optimize for linux, making look as if the platform were worse for games than windows when in fact to flip the situation you'll need to change the idiosyncrasies on the industry itself.
The fact though is that the situation on linux is not nearly the same than two years ago and now those who prefer linux over windows now can play games on it, helping to break the vicious circle, but still there's a lot of things to do for linux to compete in the gaming side. I anyone wants for this to change i recommend to play the games you can on linux when possible and ask for linux ports.
I notice some people doesn't want's for this to happen but if that the case let me ask (not directed specifically to the person i'm replying): how are any of you benefited in a meaningful way with the current situation? because i consider that keeping the statu quo just to have a tool to win an argument on what OS is better is not a meaningful thing. how having less options and practically being locked to MS products benefits you?

Personal music player thread
In celebration of the latest release of Rockbox and my successful assembly of a custom video 5g (pic related) it's time for a /pmp/ thread
What's in the news:
after years we get a new version!
https://www.rockbox.org/wiki/ReleaseNotes314
the update claims to approximately double the battery life on clip+ models
What are pmps good for in the year 2017 (at least for me)?
-High capacity portable storage. You can carry around data conveniently with a good device.
-dedicated small device for exercise (>implying) with physical buttons to jumps through music easily
-convenient use for commutes (no cables tying down your phone)
Share what you use, what you're planning on buying, and any interesting mods
Have a Clip+ as well but the hardware is starting to fail after years of use. Decided to put together a custom 5g. Was able to acquire a semi working unit for pennies from a local buy.
Will write up an indepth guide soon on the process since there are some details that can frustrate someone that doesn't do this frequently.
I fitted an original 30GB model with an msata ssd 256gb with the latest patched Rockbox. I replaced the front and back of the unit with new parts (courtesy of our Chinese friends). I also added a new 3000 mAh aftermarket battery.
The only fuckup was that I couldn't fit all the new parts into the old slim 30GB backplate. I'm not even sure if they would fit into the fat 80GB backplate. The solution I had for this was a dirty one consisting of combining two metal plate backs for multiple layers of hardware.
>>60519414
I don't really understand any of this but am interested regardless, I just have one question OP. Is that iPod taped together with electrical tape?
I actually have a old 30gb black ipod that just sits in a drawer collecting dust for like the past 5 years or more. I wouldn't mind modding it or doing something interesting to have a neat little portable music player. All I really use right now is just my ipad and an old psp for music.
I need to drag my ass into 2017 already.
looking forward to your guide anon
Does rockbox lag with some themes? My old iPod video seems to do better with what I assume is the less involved themes.

Damn, the Juicero looks pretty good inside. Look at those fucking gears, they're the size of a car's transmission, and all that pristine CNC machined steel and aluminum.

>>60518953
I have worked with transmissions and this looks like a transmission to me. Hell it seems to even have a drum shaped to accept clutches and a bigger drum on top.

All that just to squeeze DRM'd juice out of bags.

it effectively has a gearbox, to multiply the torque of the motor going to the screw.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
Hello. It is summer and i plant to learn C++ as it most easily resembles java (something i am used to) and tends to have the greatest flexibility between systems (of windows because fuck mac, but i digress). I was wandering if you guys could lead me to the best C++ IDE. Please include features it may have that other IDE's don't have. I don't have any preferences besides being user friendly and having a built in compiler.

I like codeblocks.
>of windows because fuck mac
Visual Studio, since you don't seem to be interested in truly portable code
