I want to install Linux on my Desktop, I've had both Ubuntu and Arch installed on my laptop. Is Ubuntu with Gnome or Unity the best distribution for a desktop? Why or why not? Is Linux on a Desktop even a good idea if you don't want/play AAA games; and even then you can just dualboot.

Also thinking Debian/Devuan might be a good choice for desktop use
>>
>>56161340
Linux distros are optimized for every kind of device, and as you've no doubt heard before, you can run Linux on a toaster.
Different people use different distributions. If you're a beginner, start with Debian, or a derivative of Debian (Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Mint), when you get more comfortable, some would recommend Arch, and if you're a neckbeard, Install Gentoo.
If you're serious in learning Linux, look up "Learn Linux the hard way".

>I want to install Linux on my Desktop
Good choice Windows is for straight up retards
>Is Ubuntu with Gnome or Unity the best distribution for a desktop?
Ubuntu with unity is the best consumer OS for users who want something that looks good and just werks and is modern.
I use Fedora with GNOME but I recommend Ubuntu to new users because Ubuntu has better defaults. Fedora needs the fonts tweaked and needs the rpmfusion repo for codecs.
> Is Linux on a Desktop even a good idea if you don't want/play AAA games; and even then you can just dualboot.
Games are for faggots
On a side note: Gentoo is the best OS for people who want full control over their system.
I'm trying to download a show from a website but that show is not available in my region and youtube-dl gives what you see in pic related.
Is there a way I can bypass that from youtube-dl?

All fanboys aside, has anyone got any experience with the A10-7890k?
I am looking for a budget (£500) PC & am undecided whether to go with an APU or just an i3 6100 & GTX 950.
I am not too experienced with speccing a PC so hoping someone here can help? Will be running 8gb ram (1866 ddr3 with the APU & 2133 ddr4 with the i3).
It won't be used for anything too strenuous, mainly WoW Legion when it's out, occasionally some other MOBA games & general everyday use, potentially BF1 when it's out, how would it hold up with that?
Thanks in advance xx

Thanks, any particular reason?
Am i just distracted with the fact the 7890 is newer & I thought using both would be better for a budget build?

I've got Steam Machine with;
A10-7870K
F2A88XN-WIFI
8GB 1866MHz
MX200 250GB SSD
Antec ISK310-150
Had to buy a;
NH-L9x65
To quieten the fucking fan down, stock cooler was awful.
Going to get a picoPSU too to get rid of the trash, hot, noisy PSU it came with.
I play, Dota2, CS:GO etc.
I'd recommend getting faster memory, 2400MHz and you have to flash your mobo to get the most out of the APU.
AMA.

Within 20 years time, half of all jobs will be automated.
Either the government will pay them a weekly allowance for just existing(which wont happen because thats the commie way of doing things) , or youll be forced to support your children through adulthood by your 401k/Superannuation/investments that will be the only thing would be making money once most jobs are automated. So why even entertain the idea of having kids if youre in your 20s?

skilled jobs have a 1% chance of being automated in the next 20 years, whereas retail and such jobs have like a 70+% chance (may be more)
Google the source yourself. The "skilled job" used in the example was an RN
They will tax the robots as if they were people to pay for future autist's neetbux to play vidya

>>56161100
Actually low tier white collar work(that employs a majority of plebs) will be most affected, whilst work that involve movong your hands like mechanics, traidies, will be the last to be automatied, since robotics have been lagging behing cognitive level 1 and 2 AI

Why does my Steam gaming performance on Linux suck so much? Using the latest Nvidia drivers on Arch with 32 bit libraries installed. Rust and Insurgency are unplayable. Arch wiki doesn't have any tips either. Non-steam games work fine, just like games like DoD or CSS that don't have big hardware requirements. Are all the other games just badly optimized for linux?

Put the video into windows movie maker and copy and paste it ten times next to each other then save the video

Encode it differently, choose something less efficient. Or just make it raw

Convert to a lossless format using ffmpeg.
Now tell us why the fuck you'd want this.
