actually when you add in all of the various search terms and distro names to the graph you'll notice that interest in linux is going UP over time. Bryan Lunduke (openSuse) did this experiment, look it up and bait better next time.
ITT we name things that improved from XP to 10
Umm... multimonitor support? And even when you can have a clock on both monitors... In 2016 you can have a fucking 2 CLOCKS ON YOUR FUCKING TASKBAR. FUCKING AMAZING.
Why is microshit so shit?
>ssd support
>x64 support
>filesystem
>display scaling
>power management
>>56628314
I'm so mad I wrote shit.
I mean you can't have 2 clocks. One one each monitor.
>>56628314
Well XP and 7 were both quite legit. I'm not quite sure between 95 and 98 which was better but afaik 98 was decent. Right now we're in some weird stage as far as software is concerned. They're fucking us in the ass with a strap-on without even hiding and it looks like most people either don't know what's going on or are willing to take it.

Is C++ just a meme?
It seems that every kek I know of who wants to learn to program thinks
>"gonna learn c++ is cool xD"
Out of experience, is there anything that C++ excels which another language does not do better?
It gives you more power than just about any imperative language.
With #DEFINEs, overloading, and other bullshit, you can practically write your own language with it.
No garbage collection and no unboxing means you can bitfiddle data structures at the low level as well as build great castles of abstraction and decide exactly what resides where in memory at all times.
So it is unique in that it has a foot in two worlds of low level and high level and refuses to give up any power for safety. With great power comes great responsibility.
>>56627521
Yeah C++ is awful that is why pretty much every single video game and operating system is written in C++
>>56627521
It's great if you've got the manpower to develop for it, because it's just a huge timesink to make anything decent with it.
As a solo developer you're better off with a higher level language if you actually want to make something and have it work.
Yes, we know everything already is from China but in here we discuss the no/low-name cheap shit you see on Gearbest, AliExpress, eBay and similar sites.

To all that are new to the Android world of ROM's. Here's all you need to use (providing your phone is supported) ...
>TWRP for your recovery
>Official Cyanogenmod for your daily driver ROM
>Open GApps Project or no Gapps if you prefer to use the AOSP alternatives
>Privacyguard for root, built into Cyanogenmod, turn it on in developer tools
>Xposed framework
>Adaway for a general ad blocker (get it off F-Droid), and Xposed youtube adblock module for blocking youtube adds
>Nova Launcher Pro for your primary launcher
All other roms are pure bullshit, and all they offer are tweaks that can mostly be added in with the Xposed Framework.
That's it. Good luck not bricking your phone. Once you get past that growing pain, you can enjoy the latest Android OS on most older devices out there.
If you're looking for a phone specifically to root and run ROM's, check out the XDA forums for the phone you have in mind, and make sure there's an active modding community for the exact model of phone you want to buy.
As for new phones, you're better off sticking with your stock OS. I prefer ROM's for older phones that are no longer updated by the manufacture.
gtfo shill.
there are way better roms than babbys first rom

Other business laptops are also welcome in /tpg/ (e.g. Dell Latitude/Precision, HP EliteBook/ZBook).

If you're looking for purchase advice, READ THE BUYERS GUIDE FIRST. Then post, stating budget and requirements (e.g. size and performance).
Don't buy anything OTHER THAN T, X AND W/P SERIES if you want the Real ThinkPad Experienceâ„¢
Recommended models:
T420 - 14", normal size
X220 - 12.5", ultraportable
----
Why ThinkPad? (also applies to other business laptops)
>Used machines are plentiful and cheap.
>Excellent keyboards - tactile feel and quiet.
>Great durability: chassis uses a magnesium rollcage for structural integrity, with high quality plastic body panels.
>Utilitarian design: e.g. indicator LEDs, 7 row keyboard layout on older models.
>Docking stations that easily turns your laptop into a desktop.
>Easy to repair, upgrade and maintain thanks to readily available service manuals for every model. Spare parts are easy and cheap to obtain.
>The best trackpoint (that red thing in the middle of the keyboard). Great for those who type a lot or hate swiping their fingers all over a touchpad.
>Excellent GNU/Linux & *BSD support.

I'm really tempted to buy one. I just got paid today and I want something portableish
Anyone know if there are any reputable refurbished sellers based in the UK, would they be worth it over used ones?

Hi.
>>56627246
Hello friend
>>56627188
i like those old keyboards
wish i still had the one from our old compaq computer.
I have this weird desire to buy a mac.
So by all means tell me about the bad experiences you have had with Apple.
ITT: We write shit about Apple.
I was expecting to be able to rice my desktop but instead when I turned on my mbp for the first time it was already set up perfectly by professional designers.
>>56626653
Nice shilling, ina ll seriousness I own a Macbook Pro. To start of when they break you are fucked, the repair costs are very high. Also my macbook pro overheats quite regularly which is quite the nuisance. Further it's lacking in the games department and software in general. No web support of safari either (which is ver annoying) because for some reason.... chrome destroys your battery life.
The only Mac worth buying is a MacPro and even that's pushing it. You could build a machine that outperforms a loaded MacPro for half the cost, run macOS on it and get more performance.
If you just want to be able to run macOS, either make a machine yourself or buy a Mac mini.
