Pick one

A desktop.
Alright /g/, I had to install my first linux, for computer science and shit.
Then, grub2 happened, and moved placed windows to the bottom:
I want it on the top of the list.
I have been reading around and know about changing the default entry.
I know about saving the last os that was used as default.
I tried to use grub customizer and grub editor because I'm slightly scared of command lines and fucking up, but they won't work on this old lubuntu for some reason; I got this lubuntu from a friend's cd, I don't know how to check the version...
Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
also interested in this
update your lubuntu
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
and get the new one if you have some old piece of shit.
>>52057805
Holy shit I don't even know how to screenshot, there's too much to learn
I get "W: Failed to fetch http://es.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/quantal-backports/multiverse/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.91.14 80]" for a bunch of shit after apt-get update. and dist-upgrade won't download shit.
Guess this distro is too old then; might as well get something other than lubuntu on the way, since I'm kind of starting to hate it's everything.
Anything you...

/g/ ,can you guys tell me if this would be a good buy? My old PC got stolen.
>>52057661
maybe
FX 4300 is getting up there in age, and 720 ain't great. At that price range I'd go with an AMD 7850k APU and overclock it, and you can add a discrete GPU later on
>inbefore AMD shill
>inbefore shit performance
I've done it myself and it worked very well, was able to play games at 45-60 fps low - medium settings at 1080p
It's a horrible buy. Get one with 64GB of RAM minimum. You are a PC gamer right?
You have <10 seconds to explain why you are not learning/coding in C# right now.
I write most code for a Cray machine in C with some asm.

Hey Anon! I'm thinking of making some upgrades to this HP Pavillion 20-b323w computer. Is it even possible? I haven't found any answers online. All I have read is that some All-In-One's May be able to be modified. What can I mod in this Anon? Graphics Card? Etc etc...
Computer Specs for HP Pavillion 20-b323w: http://www.cnet.com/products/hp-pavilion-20-b323w-e1-1500-1-48-ghz-4-gb-500-gb-led-20/specs/
>>52057553
It's a laptop in a box, you can mod laptop things.
RAM, SSD, potentially the CPU.
>>52057553
The proc isn't upgradeable because its soldered I had a similar model and it only had one ram slot so mabey get a 8 gig ddr3 ? I doubt you will ever get an internal grafics card in that thing look in to externals
>>52058498
ohh i forgot I did swap my shitty stock hdd for a ssd and got much better bootup times. the problem with these all in ones or omnies is there basicly just one step above a netbook there normie face book machines
also I did have the exact same model as you after the ssd upgrade and ram my nephew was able to play mine craft at 50 fps with optifine other games are just unplayable

Why do you purposefully hand over your data to a company who then sells it for ad revenue, uses it to manipulate their used, and watches every single bit of input inputted to their interface?
Social media is the epitome of spyware.
Do you not care, or are you just not aware?

GPU is garbage.
>>52057421

What cool things can I do in the terminal, /g/?

You can run the IRC client 'weechat' and pretend to be a hacker (lot's of computer guys on IRC) or a normal person from the 90s.
you can listen to music with 'cmus'. You can read RSS feeds with 'newsbeuter'. You can run bash scripts (learn them here at http://www.bash.academy/ ) you can get cool themes, custom functions and shit here https://github.com/Bash-it/bash-it
you can monitor your system with 'htop'. and you know the normal update, install and file management. that is what i do with it at least.
I'm about to pull the trigger? This is a pretty good deal right?

Who else here uses old cpus?
what is your opinion on using older hardware?
If you are using old stuff how long will you plan on using it?
my main rig uses pic related and its holding up surprisingly well
server is running c2d @2.4ghz I should upgrade it
>>52056894
Phenom II x4 965 @ 3.4ghz here (shit motherboard can't overclock)
Would an FX-6300 be much of an increase in gaming performance?
>>52056924
performance increase would be small as phenom II and fx cpu have essentially same per hz performance.
Only games that use 6 cores would benefit or if you do something heavy on background.
Old enough?
>what is your opinion on using older hardware?
I can't afford wasting money on new stuff so I'm bound to bound to the old crap.
>If you are using old stuff how long will you plan on using it?
Probably 2-3 years more.
what's a cheap, high-quality mp3 player? i just want to play 320 mp3 without hearing artifacts.

>single async compute usage
Nvidia card only support 1 async compute. AMD Fury has 32+. 1/32 units are being used. There is no dynamic usage. You have to remember, its a Unreal engine, which is nvidia partnered company and will only optimize for nvidia cards.
both cards are a massive waste of money.
show me 390 vs 970
>>52057219
Not 390, but a 290x which is roughly 3% weaker than 390, so use this.
Also old 7970 (280x) beats 960 by more than 30%.
What are you working on, /g/?
