/sqt/ - Stupid Questions Thread

is qbittorrent a memory leaking piece of shit for anyone else? I just closed it after less than 4 hours of use and it freed up like 1.5 GB of ram even though the process in task manager said it was only using 100 MB

I almost understand their example but not really.
how did they come to

y = y1 + dy * (x - x1) / dx

?

Is JTD a good brand of mouse to buy?

>>56827888
Your problem is that you're trying to drive 2 FHD monitors on a 1060, one of them at double framerate, and the other one trying to handle unrelated things while your game is going. I don't think CPU is your problem. Don't expect to be pulling 120 fps and have youtube running smoothly on the side on a midlevel card.

What should I do when my laptop gets uncomfortably hot when gaming?
I maintain safe temps (<80C) at all times but its still uncomfortable sometimes.

by all appearnaces the asus dual oc gtx 1070 nad the evga FTW gtx 1070 are the same, but the EVGA has 8+8 power in while the asus only has 8. how can you get the same results with only half the power?

>>56827888
You are trying to use a mid end GPU for a high end GPU performance.

If it were 60Hz you would be able to do both at same time.

Your CPU is still good.

The temperatures aren't necessarily the problem.
It's been like this ever since I bought it and only really does it when my house is particularly warm since I live in Arizona and its hot as fuck for like 6 months out of the year.

Both.

Or buy both deals.

>>56828363
no and I broke part of my computer in the process but w/e

Also the slot is VERY close to my RAM, like there's a millimeter of clearance or less between the card and the little release clips which I didn't notice the first time I put in the card and it knocked them loose.

>>56828376
which would you say is more likely to have the best gpu deals? I just want a 480 that's sold at its advertised price

>>56828015
Well fuck, I though the 1060 was powerful enough to manage that since they said 1060 was on par with 980 if not better. My previous card GTX 680 didn't have that issue but that's a high-end card but that was still on 60 fps.

>>56828217
This sucks. I really like 120hz not sure if I'll manage to go without using my second monitor for shit while playing. Good to at least know my CPU ain't shit yet.

I take it the 1070 wouldn't have had this issue.
>tfw buyers remorse now.
Knew going for 1060 was a mistake. But just to clarify. It's just the framerate at fault here? If I were to get the resolution and FPS even on both screen it wouldn't help shit because 1060 isn't powerful enough?

>>56828426
>1060 was on par with 980 if not better.
Not really, 970 yes, but 1060 is pretty much that card without the problems, same performance.
Yes GTX 970 was this bad.

Just reduce the load(graphics, resolution, etc) and keep the 120FPS on overwatch.

1060 can max games and somewhat do 120-144Hz but alone and thats it, you are stressing the card a lot to do something else.
It always was a card for 1080@60FPS + extra stuff, never for 1080@120-144Hz.

>>56828426
You could try to overclock it a bit if you want to see if you can do both.

What are you trying to do in the second screen?

Yup, shouldn't have tried to cheap out and gone for the 1070. But thanks for the info mate

>>56828588
Overclock GPU? Hmm, not such a fan of it plus I got the MSI Gaming edition shit so it's pre-overlocked, although that's just a minor clock. Increasing it higher without proper knowledge and I'll just fuck it up.

Youtube/Twitch/Movies/Tvshows. Obviously only one of these at a time.

is a 750w PSU enough for a double monitor setup? I have an R9 390 and a 4690k
My computer shuts down randomly under heavy load and i think its because of the PSU

>>56828633
Factory overclocked means it was pushed more than the stock version using the same energy/temperature, you can still overclock it, just dont fuck with voltage.
MSI has a program for it to do it easy.

>>56827894
personally, i use logitech for all my peripherals. always have.

>>56828647
>1st question
Irrelevant but yes.
How many screens you can use depends on your GPU, not on your PSU.
And which PSU do you need depends on the rest of your build.

>2nd question
If overclocked reduce the clock speed and voltage.
Otherwise your PSU is shit.

You guys sure it's the GPU and not CPU?
MSI afterburner shows very fluctuating GPU usage when having overwatch(active window) on with stream in background (2nd monitor). CPU is pretty much running on 100% load and game 120 fps.

I would expect GPU load to be somewhat 100% if it was at fault here. Pic related.

>>56828665
I'll test it out a bit then. Use afterburner a bit, just haven't messed with the clock yet.

>>56828737
well it does change the counter to 60 fps but it makes it feel wrong.

is there anything wrong with have the counter above your display settings? I can set a custom fps cap at 60 fps.

>>56828794
You are running it stock or overclocked?
If stock, overclock it because it is an issue, there is a CPU bottleneck not allowing it to work at 100% because the CPU isn't strong enough.
One would expect someone with a 2500/2600K CPU to be overclocked already.

2600k is clocked at 4,5ghz.
However, Task manager shows cpu 'max' speed set to 1,60ghz.. Don't know why though, but CPU-Z says it's 4,5ghz.

Because from what I've gathered it's my CPU bottlenecking my GPU from actually achieving it's task. But I don't know.

How to convert opus to mp3

Hey, anon from before who was installing windows off a usb

Is it normal that a pc can't use it's network connection or anything at first? I have the disc that came with the motherboard but because no disc drive I'm trying to get that on a usb stick now as well

Just wondering if this is supposed to happen because this file copying is taking 2 hours and all

>>56829231
Use a different computer and look up your model computer and get the network drivers from that.

Also get the service pack that usually fixes some funky stuff when I refresh my OS.

I have a Sony bluray player and I'm trying to play my animus on it. The files of which work perfectly fine on my computers, but when I play them via USB port on the player itself, it does dumb things.

For example, the video will play fine, but only get to a minute, 29 seconds before jumping back to the beginning.

Another anime I try looks great on the computer, but it is a pink, pixely mess on the bluray player.

Unless I can find a clear-cut way to fix these issues, my MAIN question is which streaming device with USB port would work best/accept multiple formats without issue?
Would an Amazon FireTV work well enough, or would there be a better option like https://amzn.com/B01JP0VBT4 or something?

>>56829287
>only get to a minute, 29 seconds before jumping back to the beginning.
Sounds like ordered chapters/linked mkvs, since that's the length of an opening. If there's an OP file in the directory, try taking it out.

>pink, pixely mess
That's probably Hi10p. Your player doesn't support it. (I doubt any do)

>which streaming device
I don't stream to TV, so someone else will have to chime in on how well Chromecast or whatnot work.

>>56829449
It's not so much the streaming on its own. It's a device that can stream and has a usb port that can play whatever bongo formats my anime supports and runs without any weird hiccups.

There may be a media dongle that would support all the formats -- it's not something I'm personally into so I just don't know. But getting a $50 Core2Duo PC off Craigslist and using it as a HTPC would work.

So for games like WoW do the servers they have still cost money to maintain whether they're "on" or "off" or not?

Question, do we have any USB3 adapters yet that can drive a 3.5" HDD without needing external power adapters? I have a Z77X mobo, so no USB3.1/USB-C/Thunderbolt crap, just plain old USB3.

>>56830290
I had the same problem on some drives a few years back, and it turned out that it happened because the SATA cable I used looked like this on the inside. The ground and data pins connected randomly, so it was a small miracle that the drive even worked, let alone only dropped out once every few days.

So try using a different cable first.

>>56830517
What do you mean leave servers off? It's not like everyone in WoW goes to bed and they shut the servers off for the night. People play the game from all different regions and schedules, there's going to be people online pretty much 24/7. As far as individual area servers I don't think they would shut those off either even if nobody was in them because it would be problematic to have to turn it back on as soon as a player enters the region, and anyway I don't think the costs of running a server while it's inactive are too high.

Even for a less popular game I am pretty sure they keep the servers up and active 24/7, they're not shut on and off on demand like you seem to be suggesting.

>>56827716
man I remember when I figured that out by myself out of sheer boredom once.

you go through every step of the x1 to x2 path, and every step of the way you calculate the fraction of your iterator (x) and dx. Consider it the "percentage" of how far you are horizontally in the total plotting. Then multiply dy with that fraction, to get how far you are in the height, on that specific x step.

x-x1 is there because x is an absolute coordinate and you need to reduce it to 1 for the sake of the calculation.

and y1+(...) is the opposite, since what you got so far is a relative value (the "percentage" of dy), but you need an absolute coordinate to know where to draw the pixel, which is how far you are down from the starting position (y1).

I think that's how it works, but it's been a while.

The torrents you're uploading need RAM too dumbass. Do you think it reads everything from the disk all the time?

>>56830972
But it does. The caching is minimal.

How many torrents do you have?

>>56831018
385, with 6 currently seeding.

If I want to upgrade my system, will a new motherboard work if I keep using the SSD I have with my OS? Or does the OS I have (windows 7 btw) only work with one particular Mobo? Assuming that installing new drivers is a non-issue.

swiftkey has emoji prediction.
google's keyboard used to have it but they seem to have scrapped it off with some versions ago

>>56830999
Then it is the OS that does caching for you, otherwise it would be killing your disk with all the random reads.

Take a moment to actually set your settings properly according to your bandwidth, and hardware, and mayhaps you might get better performance.

>Hard drives are made to seek.

Sequentially, not randomly.

>The torrent client reads ahead some, but it does not cache the whole file.
>A torrent client shouldn't be using Windows caching since it's not optimized for torrenting.

If you do not have it configured to bypass Windows caching, then it will use that.

Otherwise, it will cache all the torrent pieces (not files, but the hashed chunks that make up the torrent) that it needs to access for seeding purposes. If you seed a great amount of things at high speeds, this can result in very large caches.

If you are also downloading then it will also cache everything you download and write it to disc periodically (while also caching what you upload), as to avoid putting too much strain on your hard drive.

However the fact that it only shows 100mb used but using 1.4GB IO means that it is probably using Windows caching.

I don't mean in the video, on the screen while it's recording.

>>56831470
I wouldn't know how to explain it, because it has to do with a specific custom rom
basically i flashed this rom that comes pre rooted
only for whatever reason, I can't get root permission
and what's worse, this is the most popular rom for my phone, lgg3, and yet no one else on the internet seems to have ever had the problem i'm having
and even worse, the xda forum for this rom won't even let me post and I don't know why
but here's where I'm stuck
that menu that I told you has an option for "recovery"
If I can reboot to recovery then I'm safe.
but since I can't grant root permissions, I haven't even had a chance to grant them to TWRP on this rom
so I have no idea what will happen if I choose the recovery option in this menu
this menu is located in a system settings app that comes with the rom, btw

>>56831573
cont. (I ran out characters)

When I gave it to him, I made sure I disabled Windows Update via the "never check for updates" option and disabled Action Center notifications for it so it wouldn't tell him it's turned off. I also installed Avast.

This friend has no computer at the moment because the first rig he had he fucked up, by taking apart the PSU after his blew up for running too many heaters on the same power strip and it caused a power surge, and he took it apart, laid the board bare on the case of the PC, and turned on the PSU, frying his comp even more. I'm surprised it didn't kill him.

I just want to fix this thing one last time and completely retard-proof it so he can't fuck it up again. If he does, though, I'll just tell him I'm not gonna do it for free and he's going to have to pay me to fix it. I've already advised him to get a new HDD because the one in there is used and he said yeah that makes sense, but has yet to do so. I don't believe he ever will.

Can I hook up my monitor to my PC with an HDMI cable? I tried but it didn't work so not sure if it's the comp or the cable

If both devices have an HDMI port then yes, you can attach it via HDMI.

>>56831620
twrp recovery does not need root, it is a recovery for the device, if you boot into the recovery, you could try flashing the rom again, or see any problems arising with the rom, I hope you checked the md5sum for the rom and that you're flashing the correct file.
once you boot back up, if you have problems getting root, just flash supersu and you'd be set

This is going to sound stupid, but someone said people were seeding CP all over 4chan even in unopened thumbnails that you can still be charged for, so I want to wipe the free space on my HDDs and overwrite them.

What's the best option for doing that?

Shit lots of typos I'm on mobile

*HDMI for the PC
I couldn't find a vga to dvi-d adapter locally

>>56831626
Hes the perfect candidate for the mac botnet.
tell him to fuck off

>>56831689
so I just have to have twrp installed?
because I didn't even get it set up on this rom is what i meant
also this rom worked perfectly fine for me earlier today
root permissions and everything
the weird thing is, that was the dirty flash
I then made a clean flash, and then all of a sudden I couldn't grant root permissions
also you're not supposed to flash supersu because the rom comes prerooted, it'll cause issues
also I tried installing the supersu app anyway and surprise surprise I couldn't grant root access to get it started

>>56831722
Thanks. That was pretty stupid.

>>56831744
That's what I'm going to tell him if he fucks it up again. It only takes me an hour to do an install, so it's not that big of an issue for me, it's moreso frustration of why he felt the need to update anything. Everything was working as it should, what made him think updates needed to be ran?

>>56831689
>>56831750
fuckkk dude I just tried the recovery option
it didn't fucking work, menu crashes

You may aswell bump him up to win 10.
I use the following on my parents computers and laptops, as well as my own forced win 10 for work laptop. Seems to take care of everything,i dont know of one for windows 7 unfortunately. But another option

https://github.com/Nummer/Destroy-Windows-10-Spying

>>56831750
reinstall twrp
boot into twrp
clear cache, dalvik, system and data if you have the rom on the sdcard
flash the rom, reboot...
if the rom is prerooted you wouldn't need supersu or installing supersu. then go to the play store get a root checker and see if you're set

>>56831739
Option A: Stop being paranoid

Option B: CCleaner

>>56831794
that's what I'm thinking of doing. I can easily get Windows 10 keys, but I'm not sure how well it runs on a Core2Duo/AMD 5670. I honestly don't even really care at this point.

My whole point was not to get rid of Windows 10 spying, just to prevent him from ever pulling down the updater in the first place or causing something to nullify Daz Loader. He has no reason to update, anyways. He's just playing fucking Runescape and League.

>>56831820
You can disable updating with it, along with a myriad of other options unrelated to malware

>>56831800
dawg i've reinstalled twrp like 3 times
it doesn't work
nothing that requires me to grant root permissions works
to be clear the supersu app said i wasn't rooted
root checker is telling me the same thing

>>56831801
Yeah you're right. I already use CCleaner.

>>56831833
please provide link to the rom, sounds like the rom is not rooted

>>56831878
the rom is rooted, but hold on
maybe I did the flash wrong
What I actually did, was flash the rom dirty, and then go to twrp from the dirty rom and factory reset it.

Your license will get mad if you have an OEM license.
Windows itself will also throw a bitch fit and make it something of a chore to migrate to a new motherboard, assuming you're going to another chipset. It is possible to move to a new chipset without reinstalling Windows, but you better have your new drivers ready to install in safe mode. And then it's not guaranteed to be free of issues if you have old drivers lying around to confuse Windows.

TL;DR: It can be done, but reinstalling is recommended.

>>56832031
no
I'd like to clarify what I said that made you think the problems solved, but I'm not sure what that is lol

>>56832078
back up your data,
wipe dalvik, cache, system, data

>>56832116
can you get to the fastboot mode?
that way, you can connect to your computer and flash the recovery that way

I need something with HDMI, displayport or DVI-D

>>56832166
it's not a long process, just find the key combo you need for your device,
the connect to your computer and see if you can access your device using fastboot, from there on you just flash the recovery and that's all

1.

fastboot devices

if it shows up continue to 2
2.

fastboot flash recovery <recovery name.im>

3.

fasboot reboot 

and you're done

i googled how to fastboot and this guy had to put a whole guide out
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2277112

>For the most part you can not use much of fastboot unless you are rooted
from the guide
it's not looking good for me

>>56832298
you don't need to be rooted to run fastboot, all you need is unlocked bootloader.

>>56832268
take your time to read through it, and don't rush through it. so that you don't brick your device.
the steps I have posted prior to this one should be done once you can get to your fastboot screen on your phone. which is done through a key combination. I don't know which one you select on your device.

Are there any scripts, add-ons, or whatever workarounds that lets me keep up with youtube subscriptions WITHOUT having an account? This isn't for paranoia reasons and I'm sure that it wouldn't be an option since youtube itself provides that functionality, but I want to be sure first.

>>56832348
also, do you know what might have caused this issue in the first place?
the .zip was legit, the process was straightforward, and no one has any problems with using or flashing this rom
not even me when i first flashed it
so was it the factory reset that fucked it up?
im thinking that maybe you're not supposed to factory reset the rom because it takes away root permissions? although nowhere on the internet can I find any warnings to not do this, so Idk about that
it's just that that's the only thing I can think of that I did that might have been out of the book

get into fastboot mode
http://godokmi.com/how-to-boot-into-fastboot-download-mode-on-lg-g5/

install fastboot and adb on your computer...
the in the folder where you've installed fastboot or adb press shift and right click and select open command window here.
Then try and see if what output you get after typing fastboot devices
if you see a code right there then you can process with the above steps if you don't see anything around try doing it as a super user(see documentation for fastboot and adb, I don't know how to do it on windows because I'm on linux where I do sudo fastboot devices if I don't get an output).
After you've seen that adb and fastboot works, then just flash the recovery and copy over the rom to your device and flash it

>>56832558
after you flash the rom all you need to do is hit reboot.
factory reseting should be done before flashing the rom.

>>56832664
>flash the recovery
when you say "flash the recovery" what is the recovery?
it's like a command that will boot the phone into recovery?

>>56828909

the recovery is the software that helps you clear the cache, storage, factory reset or install a new rom.
so far the most known recoveries are cwm and twrp. these can be installed using a computer or doing it through the phone

>using a computer
fast make sure that fastboot and adb are working
then search for the recovery you want that is compatible with your phone and download it
now that you have it copy it to the adb folder you have on your computer
make sure your phone is in fastboot mode
the do the "fastboot flash recovery (the name of the recovery.img"
then you can boot into the recovery and enjoy :)

>>56832810
>>56832880
>using the phone
make sure your phone is rooted
go to the playstore and get a twrp manager or cwm manager install the one you want
then it will have an install option in the application

null modem or serial. Serial will let you send FTP/SSH data at 9600 bit per second.

It's been a while since I've done anything, but I know's possible. TFTP, who knows.

>>56832950
>>56832822
oh yea, should be noted that serial is pretty slow, and it only really going to good for sending small files, playing multiplayer games, using IRC, etc

if you want to move large amounts of data, it'd be quicker just to take the hdd out and attach it via a usb ide adapter

>>56832948
IPS

>>56832897
this I understand completely

>>56832880
this fucks me up a little bit
it sounds familiar though

I'd say that your monitor is defective personally...
Forreal though, google mang.

/// from the adobe forums
Your monitor profile is defective. It's a known problem with the profile provided with that monitor.



You have several reasonable choices...



1. (Assuming the monitor has the capability) you could set the monitor to a preset patterned after a well-known standard profile and associate the standard profile with the monitor in your OS color-management settings.



2. You could get a calibration and profiling device and measure your system's performance. Once a custom profile is developed from the measurements, the software will associate it with your monitor, replacing the defective one.



Color-management is a complex subject, and you'll want to study it in order to understand why you would want to make one of the above choices over the other. People will emphatically try to make the decision for you, but only you can make the proper one.



I can tell you this: You will not be able to learn color-management a piece at a time on a forum.

I want to start using arduino and rasberry pis, but I know nothing about the physical components, let alone what a ground is. What subject would I google to study this? Electrical engineering? Engineering basics?

Sorry anon. If it's any help, I downloaded this one and haven't had any issues.
https://thepiratebay.org/torrent/11502728/Far.Cry.4.Proper-RELOADED

one thing I saw---
"
Go into the install directory - ...\program files (x86)\ubisoft\ubisoft game launcher\games\far cry 4\bin then delete the fc64.dll
then go back into uplay and verify the game files. It'll then come up saying there were errors/corruptions and ask you to repair it. Press 'repair' and once it's done, the game should be working."
While you obviously can't "repair", perhaps there's a clean version of that file lying around. If you need to, I can send a copy of mine.

Basic electronics. Depending what you want to do with Raspi and Arduino, you'll need anything from basic electronics knowledge to advanced electrical engineering and digital circuits.

>>56834951
Virtual Surround only works right if you tell it what is actually connected. If set to "speakers", it assumes sound is coming from something positioned in front of you, where some sound from the right speaker will be heard by your left ear, etc. With "headphones", it assumes sound comes from things positioned over or in each ear, where if it pans a sound all the way to the left, it will be heard only in your left ear. It changes how it processes virtual surround, and it won't sound quite right if you set it to something that isn't what you have plugged in.

If you're just using stereo sound without surround or anything wacky like that, it doesn't make a difference.

>>56834846

Need help. Just bought a Palit 750ti. I was still using VGA before this and finally decided to upgrade. So I put it in, installed the drivers(still using VGA), then I switched the input on my monitor to HDMI. It only showed no signal. The VGA cable was off and the HDMI cable was on so I restarted it. Weird thing I found out is that it only boots up until the windows 8.1 loading screen only then it's no signal. Booted it up in safe mode and it worked fine (but no audio). Changed resolution to native 1080p and it worked. Only when I boot it up normally it nothing shows up. Also, I've never messed with anything that deep in my PC so all of it is in it's default settings right now. (I hope). Anyway to Fix this?

Would someone mind explaining the following things, or possibly point me to some resources?I can't seem to find a good source.

1. What is the complaint made against the BSD license? I've been told even stallman doesn't like it. I have only ever used fedora, and am thinking about switching. Does arch/gentoo offer a valid alternative?

2. What are the nuances in the tech community surrounding privacy, anonymity, etc. If I use cyanogenmod without Gapps, use fedora as my distro with firefox to browse, and stay off of google/amazon/skype/etc, I should be fairly free of dragnet surveillance correct?

3. What the hell makes everyone so mad about systemd?

What's the deal with gaming mouses? I need a new one for work and gaming but I have no idea what specs are important. I saw the ad for the coming Razer DeathAdder and its "16,000 DPI and true tracking at 450 Inches Per Second". What exactly does that mean? That the mouse is moving faster? Or more accurate?

stupid question:

I've got custom hotkeys in ubuntu, one is super + r, and it runs 'dmenu_run', however, for some reason now it just runs 'mpc next', which is another hotkey I have on ctrl + shift+ ] .

For really any gpu, 30c-80c is about normal. (amd leaning closer to 80)
Speccy does a pretty good job of dummying it down, with normal tems being in yellow, and critical in red.
You shouldn't go above... eh, I'd say around 70c at idle, and 80 under load. Anything below that, and you're golden boo boo.

I'm trying to help him upgrade his computer, and I'm trying to do it as cheaply as possible. There are other stipulations, so I can't order anything from newegg or amazon. If anyone has an idea of where I could look to find a cheap LGA1366 i7 processor then I would be eternally grateful.

I've only got today and tomorrow to reformat and install all the updates I need before I'm not able to download real updates without installing telemetry spyware. Is there a way I can immunize Windows 7 so I can just tell it to download all the important updates, but not the telemetry ones? Or do I need to go one-by-one and deny the known bad KBs? I don't trust it to completely remove them if I install everything and then use an automated tool to remove the bad updates.

Make sure you're using an HDMI port on your GPU, not your motherboard. Uninstall your drivers with this

https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html

Make sure your integrated graphics are up to date, then download new drivers directly from the Nvidia website. Disable onboard graphics in you bios if it has an option for it.

>>56835168
It's not, it sometimes offers better performance at certain price point, and it's drivers tend to age better. Nvidia tends to lock down the top card position most generations.

>>56835186
You need to make sure it supports all the bands that you want, which is less of a problem these days. Also sticking a verizon sim in an att phone wouldn't work, because verizon is CDMA.

>>56835359
Firefox is still behind on the sandboxing game, although E10 is making baby steps towards fixing that. So for now, security and tab-isolation stability are still limited, which is part of why noscript/umatrix are still recommended. Also chrome tends to be more happy to embrace proprietary standards, and if a page isn't showing correctly in chrome, then you can usually assume it's the page's fault. Also their app library is a little less schizophrenic, where as firefox's is about to get worse. But firefox is still a great browser and I wouldn't use chrome even if it didn't tend towards ram issues.

There's no deadline here. For one thing, microsoft doesn't change things on the first of a month, the do it on patch tuesday (2nd tuesday) or around the 21st. But more importantly they're not removing any of the old updates, they're just not producing individual ones in the future.

What format does it save the backup?
Does the external HDD file system has to be ext4? Can I exclude a partition?

>>56835921
So it's safe to install Windows updates now, other than having to disable telemetry afterwards?

>>56835927
I'm pretty sure WinSCP can do that.

I'm about to install Debian and try using a Linux desktop for the first time. What's a good desktop environment to choose? I'm coming from Windows 7, Windows 10 has killed Windows for me, I plan to dual boot the two for a while, get the hang of Linux, and eventually only keep the Windows 7 install for games.

>>56835954
Yeah, you can choose which telemetry updates to avoid, or uninstall them after the fact. As long as a given update doesn't get installed on top of itself, and you don't use the convenience rollup, they should come out just fine. The weirdness of october is that if you want to download future security updates only, you'll have to do it manually, or find a third party tool.

>>56835939
It will probably save the image as a .gz archive. Clonezilla really doesn't care what filesystem it's saving to (excluding the fat32 size limitation of course). You can skip partitions, but if one of them is windows, I'd use a windows tool like macrium instead, as windows is kind of bitchy about being relocated to a different place on drives. Also be aware that clonezilla doesn't allow you to remove free space from a partition when restoring it.

>>56836097
You might be a little in over your head if you've never used linux before. Maybe consider an Ubuntu derivative like mint. If you're determined to do debian, there are several good DEs, including Xfce and mint's own cinnamon, which is a fairly intuitive transition from windows.

I mean if you back up a partition that is 240GB, but only has 1 GB of data, and try to restore it to your disk that has 120GB of unallocated space, you're screwed.

Clonezilla pretty much drops your partitions unceremoniously onto the new drive. If grub/fstab needs updating, you'll probably have to do it manually.
