Gnome 3.24

first for niggers

I've been dual-booting Ubuntu GNOME and Manjaro GNOME on my test laptop for a couple weeks, trying to decide which I want to use as my first main Linux distro on my main laptop. I've fallen madly in love with pacman and the AUR, though I've been told that I shouldn't go with an Arch-based distro as my first. What do you think? So far, both distros have been working fine - though sometimes Ubuntu GNOME gives me a "system program problem detected" message on boot which... I THINK has something to do with my graphics drivers. Though I've never noticed anything acting out of the ordinary.
Also, I'd try Fedora 25, but it doesn't have proprietary NVIDIA drivers, and the free drivers for my main laptop's graphics card don't work well.

Arch is a hobbyist distro. Basically anything other than Debian, Ubuntu or Red Hat are hobbyist distros not meant for serious use.

Not Gnome 3, that's for sure.

You can't. Windows 98's installer will not boot from a USB drive.

Even if you manage to get it installed, you will not have any drivers, as Dell only produced XP drivers for that model. Enjoy 640x480 in 16 colours with no sound. Not to mention if the thing has more than 1GB of RAM (which is likely considering you said it's running 7) 98 will be unstable and crash frequently.

Get yourself a period-correct rig, say a Pentium 2 450 with 128MB of RAM, if you want something to run 98 on.

>>57849463

Any reason why you want 98 on it? Genuinely curious.

>>57849498
I am too. Why do people want such overkill 98 rigs? Might as well go XP cause most 98 games will run on XP, not to mention stability, drivers, and program support are infinitely better.

If you need 98 for programs that don't run correctly on later versions of Windows, at least get a proper retro system instead of crippling something much more modern. There's nothing in the world that triggers me more than seeing Pentium 4 systems going for $150 on ebay because they're "DOS WIN 98 INDUSTRIAL SERIAL PORT CNC" machines. Those things could run 7 and yet they're being given an OS that can't even take advantage of all their hardware.

You must be from microsoft. Ever use google?

>>57849397
OpenSUSE Leap for stability, Fedora if you want bleeding edge packages, OpenSUSE Tumbleweed if you want a rolling release.

Now delet your thread.

I've been out of the market for awhile, but since you are doing video editing, the extra threads will make a difference (not so for games). According to a brief google search though it seems that if you try to OC with that H170 board it will disable HT on the 6700K turning it into a 6600K so I'd suggest swapping out for a Z170 board like one of these:
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/fcqbt6/asrock-motherboard-z170pro4s
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/9L2rxr/asus-motherboard-z170p
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/8q38TW/gigabyte-motherboard-gaz170xpsli
I'm partial to AsRock at the lower-end.
Or getting a non-K CPU and lose the aftermarket cooler.

Any particular reason you are spending so much for your RAM? I count 3 16GB kits all for around ~$73 available, half of what your set is going for:

What are you going to do for your storage subsystem? Graphics?

Apparently Intel is going to be launch Kabylake at CES (beginning of January) which should offer a bit more clockspeed headroom, hardware-based 10-bit HEVC decode support, and things like USB 3.1 and more PCI-E Lanes.
https://www.pcper.com/news/Motherboards/Intel-Z270-Express-and-H270-Express-Chipsets-Support-Kaby-Lake-More-PCI-E-30-Lanes
Not to mention it will drop prices somewhat on Skylake-class CPUs/mobos.

>>57849086
thx for your answer.

For storage I am fine, I have 3 TB of fast SSD and 1 TB ssd for things that have to run fast and I am connected to ~24 TB storage server via network.

for I5 6600K V.S. I7 6700K I also watched https://youtu.be/ArYrvLwaBaw and choose I7 6700K, since I will do lots of video and photography editing. I think this will be an advantage, 'cause I don't plan to overclock and still get the 4 ghz base and plan this pc to last 3-4 years in active service.

Regarding the RAM, i simply didn't find any cheaper at my local store:
http://www.digitec.ch/en/s1/producttype/memory-2?listmode=true&f=38491-38501-147351-150393&tagIds=76&_=1480937661945#listhead

I only found this in another store:
http://www.brack.ch/corsair-vengeance-lpx-ddr4-364394

I'll look at the Z170 boards now, thx

Many people dislike Systemd because of its ever growing hunger of power and control over Linux.

What it should be is an init system, what it actually is, right now:
- Init
- Console management
- Login manager
- Boot manager
- Network manager (including wrapping glibc functions like gethostbyname)
- Device manager
- Time manager

And it's not stopping here, Unified package management is next and who knows after that.

Some like that Linux is getting more homogeneous, some dislike it.

I mostly dislike that now a DNS query that used to be a glibc call involves serializing the request in XML (goodbye my old friend) and be thrown around DBus

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.

systemd is infiltration, or maybe a form of EEE. The goal of systemd is to embed itself very deeply into the Linux ecosystem. Perhaps eventually, with a high enough degree of intertwinement and enough sympathetic kernel developers, Red Hat hopes to take a shot at the kernel.

Consider also who would benefit from Linux having its most sensitive outward-facing components replaced with something more complex and fragile, either de facto (through distros having to switch to systemd because too much software depends on some systemd features) or de jure (integrating systemd parts into the kernel). Hmmmmmm really makes you think...
