So /g/ I'm thinking of rebuilding my PC soon, I already have a GPU picked out, but I want to do KVM/QEMU VGA pass through stuff but my current CPU is only a quad core and so far my testing shows that the loss of a core to the host OS will impact my performance by 25% unsurprisingly, which for the things I want to do simply wont cut it. What 6+ core CPU do you guys recommend I use, as long as it doesn't use DDR4 and isn't super expensive as I would like to reuse my RAM. I have considered a 9590 but I would like to have something that doesn't suck over 200 fucking watts on its own.

What about i7-5820k?

>>55760301
According to Intel's website it uses DDR4 so I wouldn't be able to reuse my current sticks of ram.

I have a G3 iBook laying around and I was wondering what would be the best Linux distro for it. I use to use Yellow Dog but that isn't being updated anymore and I know that Debian and Linux Mint PPC are options but I do not know how well they will run on the G3.

Any lightweight distro that supports PPC will be fine.

TrashcanOS
Are either of these (GTX 1060 / RX 480) available and shipping at the MSRP yet?
Or are we still in that retard phase where people shill them at $100+ above their retail and idiots pay the premium to get it in under 2 weeks?
I don't keep up with GPU stuff often. I know the 1060 was only just announced and 480 is still fresh from a few weeks ago.
How long am I looking it before I can reasonably buy one for retail and receive it within a week?This isn't a GPU war thread. Go poo in the loo elsewhere.

You should have grabbed an R9 290 from Newegg for like $170 and waited it out for next year.

Are you retarded? The 1060 is both faster than the 290 and cheaper.
Why is Linux Mint so comfy?

Example: Yum, apt-get, pacman, wget, etc. I should be able to go from Debian to Redhat and do the same thing without googling every command and obscure environment item.

I want to be clear:
You don't have to jump to another distro. for linux software to work, but it is very easy for newcomers to switch to an entirely different distro. where 'it just works' instead of spending another hour figuring out why ten commands don't work in their current distro.
Its that generation of 'it just works' here.
>in same respect, if the same application installation commands and scripting commands worked in major distributions without quams, you'd find new users staying after their initial linux ventures, where they might vacate after initial failed out of box attempt.

What is a programming job actually like?
I mean the details, like do they let you bring in your computer or do you set up your own environment or are you stuck with some shit clone station?
And how much work is there, how much of the total code do you write?
I'm afraid that if I get a programming job I'll be in over my head since I've never been good with focusing on one thing for long periods of time.

in my job i do a bit of everything its very weird. most of the time i do webdev but sometimes also linux sys admin and help out with software solutions.
webdev is pretty straight forward.
its planing out what the frontand and backend has to be able to do and then we program functionality and do design afterwards.
admin is also pretty easy to do since many things are automated and it usually boils down to updating software and hoping nothing breaks and if it does fix it or roll back until a fix is available.
the actual programming part is different.
its 90% of the time reading documentation and testing out implementations to see which is working the best.
only a fraction of the time is actually spent implementing stuff.
i got my own pc at my workplace and i run loonix on it. i also got my notebook which also runs loonix. arch on my notebook and RHEL on my desktop at work.
most of the time i work alone. we dont do shit practices like agile or other stuff. and our infrastructure is very open. often times people from finance or HR will just drop by and ask about stuff or sit in on meetings for ideas and design.
its a pretty nice comfy place to work.
i also was very in over my head when i first started. that changed after a while you can only learn so much by yourself.
i probably learned more programming in 3 months working at that company than i have in over 4 years. simply because you will be confronted with real life problems and have to come up with actual solutions to them.
the focusing part is a non issue. i am the same if i am alone.
working with people rectifies that though. completely changes your work ethic.

When you work for a company, you'll rarely write code and spend more time understanding the guy who wrote it previously. Only then are you able to implement some more which any babby straight out of college can do.
