Pre-builts aren't bad for normies and a cheap Linux box. I've got a few prebuilt refurbs, my main 2 being a Dell Optiplex 755 I got for £150 (quad-core) and a Dell Optiplex 780 I got for £35 (the Pentium model)
Post your pre-built PCs and their stories of how you got them. No custom built people, fuck off to your own threads
Don't think there's much love fore Pre-built PC's here.
Especially if you're actually buying them.
Now a dumpster dive thread, that might pull in some people.
>>54322306
Optiplexes are the desktop equivalent of thinkpads. Had a 755 SFF as my main computer for a while back in high school. Now its a mediocre file storage/ stream watching pc. Would upgrade it, but fuck ddr2 prices.
>>54322548
I thought Thinkcentres were the desktop equivalent of Thinkpads. I got a M82 with a i3-2130 for $100 USD. Not a bad deal. Put an SSD in it and sold the HDD for $20. Got a GT 720 for it, too. Runs pretty well.

More like fake as fuck CS degree "programmers" who's favorite language is Java.
Tech illiteracy makes me cringe. I've never known a single person who knows how to program embedded systems that uses a mac.
>>54321218
A mac with osx is a BSD with drivers and hardware made for each other. Instead of mucking about tweaking drivers, you just open a terminal and start fucking programming already.

All that shit is typically Windows based.

well, there is no free alternative, but there are at least 3 alternatives in with price range of $20 - $50
Debian is the only distribution that just works. Even the 'testing' branch is more stable than anything else out there. I have never had problems with Debian, but I've had problems with the rest of them. And I've used Slackware, arch, Fedora, red hat, ubuntu, gentoo, centos...
Sure, it's all about free software (which is cool) but if you want to use non-free software all you have to do is add a word to your /etc/apt/sources.list and do apt-get update.
That's why when I go adventuring into other distros, get frustrated cause it takes hours to fix the sound, or get wireless working, or adjust the resolution (looking at you Slackware 9), I know I can always come back home to Debian. And she's always there with a knowing look in her eyes "I knew you'd be back".
So, /g/, why don't you delete all the other garbage distros and just choose Debian?
For all you minimalists out there you can use the netinstall disc/USB and install only what you want/need.
This doesn't need a general, use the Linux general
>>54319950
I'm happy with Mint.
That said, I'm glad you found something that you like.
Also, it's the only distros developed by people who had the foresight and ability to form into a "company" with team leaders and quality control, rather than rely on a programming shitshow in hopes that it works.
Is software engineering a dumbed-down version of CS for people who couldn't into math or theory?
>>54319925
Yep. I always make websites with MATH AND THEORY.
>>54319925
I don't think so. I took Computer Science, but there's definitely more than enough practical content that's not taught in a CS degree that could make SE a different and useful field. Science vs Engineering
You'll get a smattering of either in either, I'm sure.
>>54319954
you don't need a CS degree to be a code monkey
Why isn't it used more?

No idea really, v9/opus shit all over v8/vorbis and anything else out there.

html5
>>54319779
But it IS supported by html5. The only major stopping factor for wider adoption is lack of Apple support for the format. Even the fucking MS Edge is going to add support for this shit soon.
