XP doesn't get security updates and more. You're also limited to dx9. For your sc bw memes it will do but if you have a newer gpu there may not even be a driver for XP.

>>57998534
I figured as much. But how many games run on DX9? Aren't they backwards-compatible, simply not rendering the higher dx-level commands?

And surprisingly, all of my hardware (fingers crossed) is still compatible with XP. One needs SATA drivers, of course. That kind of blows my mind, that it's so old that IDE was the unchallenged champion and SATA barely heard of.

I grew up on XP, so I am sort of nostalgically looking forward to using it.

I come from Windows 95 and 98, when XP came out people complained about how bloated it was. They only started liking it once 512mb of ram became the norm for the most part. Anyways, I'd say go 7, it's just not worth running XP these days. Or you could always try 10 ltsb, I've had no issues thus far.

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.

use vulkan you faggot

Shameless self-bump

>>57998664


unless OpenGL is somehow slowing you down, you'd be getting yourself in a ton of trouble by going Vulkan / DX12

OP read the arcsynthesis book for the theory and checkout the learnopengl book for code examples and API guide

First for X230

T460 or T460s?

I'd get a T450s but they cost as much as a T460/s.

Worth waiting for T470/s or will they just get progressively worse?

Hi anons I asked you before but I have got one more question: I have only integrated graphics in my T420 so should I do anything special to get egpu working? (like downgrading BIOS, I use 1.48) and can you post your specs and some information about game (how they run or something like this)

Basically you should say what you really mean. "im looking for kiddy fiddler stuff online"

also pic related, this is what amd needs to take over nvidia. and price should be ~$800

>>57997822
This, poorfag Nvidiots can't afford it then.

'no'

Right, because I don't even know what the laptop on the left is. I know it's some kind of MacBook but don't know which.

You can move anywhere in Europe except Germany and UK.

Dust got under the screen during shipping or manufacturing.

>>57997655
Would there be a way to take it apart and clean it out?

I get that that would probably void the warranty.

>>57997635
It's a speck of dust. Good news for you is that it can be easily moved to the edge of the screen. Dust has a small electric charge, so if you use a magnet you can pull/push it to the edge and out of sight.
