Gaming really is the only thing holding me back from using Linux, I don't want to dual boot install/repartition/rebooting and other faggotry just to be able to play.
So will this Vulkan thing actually make games playable on Linux in the future?
Inb4 stallman cult followers scream "JUST BUY A PS4/WIIU!!!!!!"

kys back to >>>/v/eddit ``kudasai"
There are plenty of games available for Linux.
>>56090412
Yeah but sometimes you want to play some quality AAA titles that uses my 980ti and not the latest edgy indie hippie faggotry some numales developed.

If youre new here then believe this: /g/ is consumerwhore general and things are only talked about in proportion with their cheapness, in terms of initial price. Obviously /g/s time is worthless so they dont care about the hours spent fixing shit.
JUST GET A MACBOOK AND iPHONE (or cheap android phone if youre poor) BUT I CANT STRESS ENOUGH THAT MACBOOKS ARE GOD TIER
If you bought anything Lenovo, you got a """ThinkPad""" not a ThinkPad, sadly
>>56090339
>BUT I CANT STRESS ENOUGH THAT MACBOOKS ARE GOD TIER
This. Macbook + Linux is simply the most patrician way. Thinkpads became irrelevant after IBM sold the brand.

This isn't a fair benchmark, a fair benchmark is SuperPi and x87 code.
Btw it was proved that isn't actually ZEN, it's some Intel chip with a modified CPUID, the real ZEN is in fact much slower

Libtorrent is trash

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 Experience™
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.

it was about time they destroyed Hotmail
their email service is now unusable without dedicated software to filter out their CONSTANT OneDrive bullshit
also who in the name of fuck stores shit online when you can buy 60gb usb sticks for $10?
Why are engineering sample cpus so fucking powerful?
I mean look at these fucking benchmarks
hell imagine a 22 core version of this fucker, which is a thing but im already trying to comprehend this fucking power
I wish someone would do testing on 16 core+ xeons, BIOS limit them to 4-6 cores but still retain the large L3 cache.
Even at a lower frequency simply due to the sheer cache size it should be competitive with consumer 4GHz i7s
What would happen if Intel took one of their 6 core CPUs, and replaced 2 of those core areas completely with cache memory?

What are you working on, /g/?
how do you ignore the output of a haskell function
like ignore function from Ocaml
>>56090124
Yes, it is blantly obvious that you believe C is the best. That is still ignoring the core issue of what is bothering you mentally enough that you must release such negativity and aggression upon others?
>>56090103
I read over it again and its starting to make a bit more sense, thanks anon.
People like this exist
I asked my wife's son about this and he insured me that MSI is the best. He said their engineering team is more diverse than Asus and therefore releases a better product.
I would go out to buy an MSI motherboard right now, but my wife took the car to meet up with her bull since it's Monday.
