How long have you been using it?
What do you use it for?
Do you like it?
What's the best/worst thing about it?
General impressions/review?
>gnome (on openSUSE 13.2)
>A year or so now
>Home use
>Yes, better than kde definitely
>you can bring up all open windows in a grid to switch to them by moving your mouse to a screen corner (or other place that you set)
>worst thing is that customization is limited within the given gnome tools and programs
>It's the best DE for me so far. I don't really want to rice that much-- and out of the box usability is most important to me.
>>58334256
>What DE do you use? (and what distro)
Mate (Ubuntu 16.04)
>How long have you been using it?
2 days
>What do you use it for?
shitposting
>Do you like it?
yes
>What's the best/worst thing about it?
best: it just werks
worst: no thumbnails/icon view in file picker
>General impressions/review?
is good
>>58327361
I'm thinking of creating a Linux only DE that exclusively depends on systemd. Thinking of forking a wayland WM for it since writing a brand new WM is really boring and time consuming.
Do you have any suggestion about WMs?
>What's the point of a new DE
Freedom, mainly. However I wanted to become an LxQt dev. But LxQt people really care about modularity and portability. I don't want to build a modular DE, I want to have a proper Desktop Framework like GNOME/KDE/GNUstep etc.
>What will distinguish your DE from the other DEs
+Centralized control panel (Inspired from YaST)
+Built in appimage/snaps sandboxes with GUI frontend
+DE Framework will include a productivity daemon (email, reminder, android/iOS/Desktop sync tool etc)
+A notification panel
+Qt based
+Follow freedesktop standards as much as possible
+Depend on one standard init system: systemd (This is for ease of maintainance and making a meaningful control center)
+The most feature rich yet fast file manager ever
>>58334264
is there any fucking file picker that has thumbnails?
every file viewer/browser has one in fucking linux. no file pickers do

Thoughts on IBM?
big company
watson is a phony PR stunt
What does IBM even do these days? I know they've basically left the consumer market entirely, but what do they make?
The reports of them promising thousands of jobs for Americans after trump got elected is the first time ive seen them in the news in years.

The "Fizz-Buzz test" is an interview question designed to help filter out the 99.5% of programming job candidates who can't seem to program their way out of a wet paper bag. The text of the programming assignment is as follows:
"Write a program that prints the numbers from 1 to 100. But for multiples of three print “Fizz” instead of the number and for the multiples of five print “Buzz”. For numbers which are multiples of both three and five print “FizzBuzz”."
is this a joke? I'm studying C for 2 weeks and I literally wrote the if statements in for this in 2 minutesif( index%3 == 0 && index%5 != 0 ) printf("\nFizz");
if( index%5 == 0 && index%3 != 0 ) printf("\nBuzz");
if(index%3 == 0 && index%5 == 0) printf("\nFizzBuzz");
else if(index%3 != 0 && index%5 != 0) printf("\n%d", index);

OP Here,
I've been studying lisp and came upon this definition of how atoms in the atom table are stored
>In fact, the type-field and the value-field in each atom table entry are packed in a single 32-bit
word which can be easily accessed as a typed-pointer.
The typecodes being the most significant 4 bits of the 32-bit number, and the remaining 28 representing the index in the atom table. Which makes me wonder --
Is lisp is capped at holding 2^28 atoms? Does anyone here know more about this? Google seems to be turning up nothing.
>>58332163
I don't know, but if you consider the possibility of an atom table being an atom entry, then I think the limit is practically nonexistent. I mean there are techniques to represent arbitrarily large numbers, so I can't see why it can't hold for this situation.
ITS NOT FAIR BROS... 2016 WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE YEAR OF THE LINUX DESKTOP!!!
It was though
it's always the year of the linux desktop for /g/ types
it will never be the year of the linux desktop for normies
y+1 is always the year of the Linux desktop
What's your opinion?
Do you think it will take off?
Do you have any experience with it?
Is it a good alternative to OpenGL?
only retard neet virgin autists arent using Windows 10, and these aren't the people driving the market or technology forward.

There are two types of people:
-Those who hide the taskbar/dock/launcher/whateveryourOScallsit
-Those who don't
what about you? personally I prefer having extra screen state, I always switch windows with alt-tab anyway and with auto-hide I don't see any reason to shove it to your face all the time.
I keep my taskbar on and my desktop icons on
>>58328921
never hidden. If I don't have it visible at all I'll lose track of what programs I have open. If it's on "autohide" or some such where it shows up when you mouse over it, then it will irritate me, by popping up when I didn't mean it to, by possibly resizing or getting in the way of open windows, and worst of all by being animated. There's nothing that annoys me more than animated UI elements.
In contrast leaving it visible all the time consumes a very small amount of screen real estate and is both consistent and convenient. Windows requires some kind of hack to stop applications from making their taskbar button flash, though.

>In contrast leaving it visible all the time consumes a very small amount of screen real estate and is both consistent and convenient.
This, unless it's doing some weird bullshit where it's overlaying a video or game or similar it's always on. The couple dozen pixels tall it is don't really matter at all and it feels weird to not have it.

Self-Checkout Exploit
Hi /g/ long time lurker and programmer here, wasn't sure where to post this but this seemed like a good place. Being the autismo that I am I get a kick out of finding ways to fuck with or otherwise manipulate computers used by the general public. My latest discovery is that if you take an item that is on sale, e.g. a toothbrush marked for 1/2 price.
Go to the self checkout, select staff login, swipe your item 8 times (roughly, I've had this work on 7, 9 and 12 tries), then scan your item it should ask you whether the price of an item is correct and allow you to set the price if you select "no", so you can pay £0.01 for a £2.50 item, in my case a toothbrush.
I know that some of you are NEET so this should help you stretch your £$¥€¢, I personally used this technique to use a 50p I found on the street to buy food and toiletries for a homeless guy sat outside the library.
This has worked at sainsburys for me, but I know these systems are shared between companies, so maybe you can get it to work in other places.
Enjoy.
I like to get a bulk bag of skittles, then ring in the peanuts code, weigh it, save like $10
Never thought of that, will try thanks anon
Just steal you faggot
