why do developers use Macs?

It's just that PC all-in-ones are usually shit. I mean, most of them still have 2 or 4 GB only!

it's the only device where you can triple boot without requiring legally dubious means. You can Hackintosh all you want, but a business isn't going do want to do that.

MacOS is a precious little snowflake that apparently only wants to run normally on Apple Hardware, you want to dev for Apple and for windows, why get two machines?

Buy the over priced apple shit, slap Windows on it as well, and if you even cared you can even go nuts and put Linux on it. Done. Also, iMacs are among the more attractive all in ones, albeit not among the most functional.

(That huge fucking bezel with the apple logo is the worst.)

Also, these projects are open source. If you want updates make them.

Install Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, everything went better than expected

I am struggling with finding a replacement for MS Paint and Office 365. I need to quickly screenshot, edit and crop to prepare reports. Fucking GIMP and other tools are useless. A simple task of erasing part of the photo is a project. Then I need the table and page editing features of MS Word which are not available on Writer.

I am so ass blasted right now, I am happy with Ubuntu due to its simple and secure setup but can't do office work.

Why won't Windows 10 leave me alone?

Office 2008 (at least excel, ppt and word, not sure about outlook and access) runs in wine (you can use PlayOnLinux to handle all the setup for you)

I think you can also run paint in wine if you grab the exe from windows but I haven't tried it myself. You can also try mtpaint.

Just got a Blue Yeti.

It's WAY to fucking sensitive. Any way to make it not detect the sounds of me scratching my fucking ass?

>if people are on I'll usually get a "hey anon come play _vidya_"
>if no one is playing vidya or someone is playing a single player game I'll usually just talk while scrolling through the endless suicide inducing facebook feed

The amount of time I've sat in front of a computer screen doing unproductive shit is starting to get to me. I could be a programming wizard or speak a couple languages, but instead I'm just a winbaby who plays multiplayer vidya for fun.

How do I rid myself of this vicious cycle? I'm thinking of just wiping my drive and installing a debian based distro - but I feel like I should at least keep a small windows partition seeing as I paid for shit which I won't be able to touch unless I'm on windows. But then I'll come to the problem of just booting into a windows partition because it's what I'm used to and comfy for me.

I feel like all I have to do is commit and throw myself at the task, and once I get interested I'll find everything more enjoyable than wasting my hours away on vidya - it's just getting actually beginning and doing something I struggle with

Any tips for leaving the windows/vidya lifestyle behind (for the most part) and welcoming a more productive GNU/Linux, computer literate, open and freedoms lifestyle?

>>58077532
Don't you need two video cards for that to work?

My video card is so old anyway (nvidia 560 or some shit), so the switch to Linux would probably benefit be hugely in games which natively support - and apparently GPU passthrough loses very little performance. So if it can be done with one video card I'd easily wipe my drive and never look back

Want to renew your driver's license online? You have to go to the department of licensing anyway to get a code to use with online services. They were going to move government services online, but since the epic failure of the drivers license online renewal they stopped those efforts.

Forgot your online banking password? Request a new one, wait for an email, fill out a form, fax the form, wait 24-48hrs, answer security questions over the phone, go pick up a hard copy of your new credentials in person. Ask them to activate online banking. Wait some more.

Back in 2006-2008 you could login to the smpt.candw.ky (cable & wireless) servers via telnet and send mail from any email address. The kicker? Since it was a trusted ISP the emails wouldn't be flagged by spam. The look on my friends faces when they'd get emails from [email protected]

Fuck this sh1t, year of the GNU/Linux desktop is never happening until this stuff becomes a little newb friendly, not retard friendly just enough so someone has room to start grasping how it works AND it's NOT more trouble then it's worth
Not to mention I will have to scavenge for documentation to start utilizing it whenever I see some fags praise it and feel like giving it another try

Why can't you autists just get together and create some single store or something? At least I can get deb packages sometimes

Also I just downloaded ffmpeg and now there is an extracted folder in which I will have to find .sh cause some programs run like that or literally google on how to install run it, how the fuck do people deal with it?

I kind of have to agree. Everyone is just like "lel just sudo apt-get so simple." That doesn't make sense to me. I would rather go to a page where I both read about a program and download the installer. Using terminal for everything is not user-friendly, sorry guys.

Is it even possible to create a facebook account without giving them all your info?
I'm a privacy nut and I just tried making an account using only a legit-sounding email and a matching name, created a believable bio and a fake photo, created in photoshop. I was extremely careful not to make any mistakes (ex. stripped metadata from photo). Yet not 15 minutes later they tell me to send a photo of my fucking passport or this account will be suspended.
What the fuck? Did they search the NSA database for this person I created or what, is it impossible to create an account that isn't a literal digital manifistation of yourself or any real existing person?

How are people actually ok with this? Even before I knew how to do anything else on a computer besides surfing the net, I still understood that sending a photo of your motherfucking passport into the internet is insane, even if only I thought that way because I believed that the internet is full of hackers and other shady evil people.
