I barely remember anything from highschool math (and barely knew any of it when I was in school). Are there any good book to learn algebra, trigonometry, or calculus?
It's too late for you senpai
Didn't read through all of it, but Algebra Know-It-All seems to be really good for starting from the absolute beginning (how to count, bases, etc). They also have a book for Pre-Calculus (which would cover trigonometry) and Calculus.

I just torrented a bunch of books on KAT
Is Arch Linux only useful for hobbyist stuff, or can I use it for actual work like I can Windows? From what I know of Debian, most of the packages on it are kind of outdated and it's centered around being as stable as humanly possible. Not really for personal desktop usage as much as it is server usage.
>>54627827
If you get debian testing or unstable it's perfectly good for desktop use. Arch you can use for real work but it takes preexisting knowhow.
If you want a safe distro where you can learn about The Arch Way, you could try out manjaro
>>54627827
Also, for the future go to /flt/ or /fglt/ (it changes almost every week

>Is Arch Linux only useful for hobbyist stuff, or can I use it for actual work like I can Windows?
WHAT do you mean by actual work?
It's a Linux distro with rolling release packages. You can do whatever you want on it there's no distro only for working, only for gaming and then only for doing homework on.
I turned on my computer and it fucking screeched at me. Sounded like a dying cat...

If you were a method in C, you would be fgets. Get it? Because it sounds like "faggot."
I told this one to my CS professor. Given the look on his face, I burned him pretty bad.

No. They let you spy on the Chinese government.

Why would any legitimate hacker be on /g/. This place is full of autists and consumerism.
Ok /g/ i just got a terminal emulator for my android. I use linux regularly so i know commands. What do?
install gentoo
>>54627407
Why?
Revel at how useless Linux is without most of your favorite GNU tools.
Then do whatever the fuck you want to do. The terminal emulator itself is a tool, not a game.
btw if you want to actually do any real work do yourself a favor and install your favorite distribution in a chroot where you'll have all the tools you are used to having
So im looking into getting good at some light to moderate video editing and want to know what /g/ uses or suggests. Have my eye on Lightworks, AVS and VideoStudio.
I only have a laptop with an i7 running windows 10. Will that limit anything or just make rendering slow?
Thanks anons
Hey did you read /wsr/ instead of /g/ ?
>>54627337
Ive never had luck asking anything there. Figured I'd ask on the board more likely to have people into that sort of thing. Sorry friend.

Windows 10
>>54627243
RHEL. NEETs on /g/ will disagree of course because they cannot afford it and will never work in a company that uses it.
I'd just like to interject for moment. What you're refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is...

Why is Free™ software so inefficient?
Free is not a trademark
>>54627057
Because unlike stock software it's not baked into the os and isn't preloaded into ram.

Why is proprietary software so inefficient?

Just use whatever suits you and don't bother with what other people think or what they're using.
How can I buy an app on Google Play and gift it to another person?
The gift cards are the only way, really?
That's a pain in the ass.
>>54626924
You can always transfer a dollar to that persons account directly or give him cash.
>>54626924
just tell them to use google rewards and get free money, $5 within 2 weeks
>>54626924
> gift it to another person
give it to another person
Give is a verb.
Gift is a noun.

kek, they really did.
ppl complain 1080 and 1070 specs are lies, running dual 980ti better than 1080 (half truth). prices of used 970s and 980s going cheap to cash in on hysteria. jewvidia straight up ends the 970s and 980s. secondary market prices skyrocket, ppl forced to by unreliable 1070s and 1080s. jewvidia counts their shekels.
Hey you! Yes, you! You're technologically literate. You're familiar with a few programming languages, you work in the tech industry, and you've had formal education about the topics being discussed here. What gives? Why are you still on /g/? Most of us left years ago. I just remembered that /g/ existed and boy, I didn't think it could get any worse, but it did. You can leave any time, senpai. There are places to talk about tech that aren't so bad, I promise.
