Is an interest in video game development /g/ worthy, or does it place you in the same tier as /v/ babbies?
Personally, I think it's a legitimate pursuit. This is anecdotal, but I find it to be the least boring facet of computer science by far. However, it's hard for me to internally destigmatize the association video games and NEET leech manchildren.
I find *playing* video games to be an unproductive waste of time by and large, and I won't hesitate to show the door to any /v/irgins who bring their autistic gaymen benchmarks to this board.

So I recently moved to Lubuntu in my search for a lightweight distro.
Everythng is working fine so far, bu how can I make it look better? I've seen a bunch of XFCE and LXDE rices where they make everything look cute as fuck, could I get some help?

lol
>>60412518
XFCE is 300% more sane
500% more customizible
150% more slow
by comparison
Gnome 3 would be 90000% more slow
so it's nothing
better get xubuntu

Why are you still using your old cumstained thinkpads, or even worse, normie-tier fagbooks or dells, when you can have this beauty?
They're way too fucking expensive.

I'm building a budget gaming PC and I'm getting a i5 processor but I wonder should I stick with the cooling fan that comes with it or should I buy another?

>>60411888
yes, to the point that there isn't a reason to buy an i5 anymore.
I bought a 8 TO external drive. How badly did i fuck up.
>>60411679
eh, not that badly. just remember to transfer your shit over to a new one in 5 years or so, incase it fails.

Thanks, but I am using LLVM/Clang

The correct usage is LLVM/Clang

what the fuck? they jumped now on the "rapid release cycle" like chrome and firefox? 4.x is still widely used

Would you allow your brain implant to run proprietary, remotely executable code?
Then why would you let your desktop?
I don't have a choice, it's all the way down to the firmware
Because my desktop isn't my brain
>>60411438
I was wise enough not tie any of my vital biological functions into my desktop.
So, I'm super OCD, and szwitching to from Win7 to Win10 has triggered the shit out of me, because the mouse sensitivity is just... not right. Even with mouse acceleration turned off, and the same settings in both Windows mouse settings and SetPoint.
Why is Win10 such a piece of shit? The only reason I upgraded was because I got 32GB of RAM and Win7 Home only supports up to 16GB... I'm honestly considering just buying Win7 Pro and "downgrading" to that, because 10 is filled with so much bullshit.
Thoughts?
Get MarkC's Mouse Acceleration fix. (Look it up)
Keep in my mind this 'issue' has been around since Windows 7, so no, there is nothing different with W10's mouse, and you're probably just autistic.

Those cleaners won't make your performance any better but are more likely to fuck up something in the process.

Hi, /g/. So here's the thing. I want to get rid of Win 10 and replace it with a nice and comfy Linux installation. I'm a Linux noob but I understand the basics.
I want to set everything up correctly, so I guess lvm is the way to go. I have been playing around with VMs a lot and I think I get the idea. I have a question, though.
Look at pic related, it's one of my VMs.
Let's assume sdc and sdd are 30 GB each. sdc1 and sdd both use the entire disk. That would make logical volume 'Home' 60 GB of size. Now let's assume my home directory contains 10 GB of data. Of course I have no idea which physical volume contains how much of those 10 GB of data.
Now, since the 10 GB would fit well on a single physical drive... What if I decide to use sdd for something else? Which is the way to go if I want to move (reduce) the entire logical volume to sdc? YaST tells me that it can only shrink fat, ext2 and ext3 file systems. I chose xfs.
What do?
>>60411016
I have no clue about that SuSe GUI thing and your screenshot tells me nothing interesting, but I'll try anyhow.
> Of course I have no idea which physical volume contains how much of those 10 GB of data.
Aren't you putting this on your "Home" LV, which is a combination of PVs sdc and sdd?
At least it seemed to me like you were calling these "Home", so it'd make sense you'd have /home on them.
> Now, since the 10 GB would fit well on a single physical drive... What if I decide to use sdd for something else? Which is the way to go if I want to move (reduce) the entire logical volume to sdc?
Create a new LV in as of yet unallocated space, copy files over, delete the old volume.
>>60411151
I was afraid you'd say that. I hoped there would be a way to change the config on-the-fly.
>>60411209
You can do a lot of things. For instance, you could easily add a new drive with sufficient capacity, then pvmove and vgreduce so you can remove, say, sdd.
What you can't do is shrink XFS (or quite many other filesystems) directly.
Even those that support it usually give you a warning to first prepare a backup, because usually it's a quite unsafe operation given that the filesystem utilities might not even be able to recover all data possible in case of some failure occurring.
Basically, not worth doing in general. You pretty much always want to clone and restore. Can be easily done with rsync, xfsdump/xfsrestore or even cp / mv if you must.
What made the gaymers think they're in good company in /g/?
This board has always been the tech support of /v/ and there's nothing you can do about it.
