Why are Linux release cycles so short?

Hey /g/ so I just installed xubuntu on my T400. It looks nice and everything. My problem is that it seems to be a little slow. When launching the browser to even other programs. Can this be fixed? What could the issue be?
>*buntu
Bloated mess. Try something less shit.
Reduce swappiness
Lol I'm serious. Last time I had xubuntu it wasn't as fucked. Do you think a reinstall would help?
If I am forced to get Windows 10 what is the best version and what do I do to shut down the bullshit?
>>51428200
Pro and Enterprise allow you to shut off the most. Enterprise a bit more so than Pro, I believe, but then Enterprise doesn't get a lot of the same offers that Pro and Home Editions get (e.g, enterprise versions of Windows 7 and 8.1 didn't get the free Windows 10 upgrade offer). So I'd get Pro.

Uptobox isn't available in my country.
But Enterprise is the end all be all?
What can I do with an old ipad? Like the very first? Is there something interesting to do or should I use it as a cutting board?
>>51428164
you could mount it on a wall and use it as an information panel or something
>>51428164
shove it up ur ass u fagget
>>51428164
You won't be able to use the latest, faddish games and apps, but there's a shit ton of stuff that'll still run on it. Even the app store says an app requires a newer version of iOS, many will let you install an older, compatible version. ie Youtube.
What are the official earphones /g/?
>your failures are your own
>half of those distros are directly based on debian
>>51428148
As faggy as apple is, these are decent price/performance-wise.
>>51428173
That's why it makes sense if debian meeseeks brought the rest of them into existence.
Sway is an i3-compatible compositor for Wayland.
https://github.com/SirCmpwn/sway
As of today: wallpaper support (pic related)
Recently: Improvements to multihead support, wayland+cairo client support code, better i3 socket handling, WIP screenshot support, bugfixes.
>>51428063
>sway
what is this exactly
A different wm with the same config or a compositor like compton?
And how stable is it
>>51428176
It's a Wayland compositor, which means xorg is not involved. It uses the same config file format as i3 and supports the same featureset.
It's a WIP but usable as a daily driver (I use it myself). Does not crash in the middle of your session.
>>51428063
getting quite cryptic errors when trying to run it (either from x session with i3 or tty), think you could guess what the problem is?
here are the errors:Error: Signal 11. Printing backtrace

I've been trying to write a batch script to convert a directory of GIFs to WebMs.
So far I got:for %%F IN (*.gif) DO ffmpeg -i "%%F" -an -c:v libvpx -qmax 4 "%%F.webm"
So far it works but it renames the output files with .gif.webm
How do I force the output to be renamed to .webm only? I've been trying to find a solution on google for almost an hour but to no avail.
If they work just write another script to rename them.
Otherwise I'd say you need to tweak the last string of your script which is telling it to just append webm to the whole file name. I don't know or care enough about batch scripting to help you with that part though. Shouldn't be too hard though.
Bump, I've had this issue as well. Eventually I just gave up and renamed the output files manually. I'd love to see the solution to this.
#! /bin/sh
parallel -j 100% '
ffmpeg -i {} -pix_fmt yuv444p -f yuv4mpegpipe - 2>/dev/null |
vpxenc --codec=vp8 --webm --best --end-usage=cq --cq-level=4 --min-q=0 --max-q=8 -o {.}.webm - 2>/dev/null
printf "finished:\t{.}.webm\n"
' ::: $@
exit $?
Core 2 duo users, why do you not upgrade to a core 2 quad or xeon?
It's cheap and should offer a decent performance boost.
>>51428043
the 771 Xeon mod is fucking amazing I've had mine running for almost a year now and works great
>>51428109
They're pretty cheap too.
In my country it's not cheap.
So I keep adding on monitors to my PC whenever i am given one.
I have two connected to my GPU (R7 370)
And 2 connected to my Mobo (On integrated graphics Intel HD 4400)
I just got another monitor. It's a small INSIGNIA television that i have hooked up to my GPU via HDMI. (It is saying the display is named NS-19E310A13)
The only problem is, is that my computer wont let me connect it.
I use DisplayFusion for my monitor configuration. So when i go in and try and connect the new monitor, it says its disabled. And when i enable it, it shuts off another...

>>51428023
you might need a more powerful GPU
>>51428046
I've also tried connecting it to my mobo and it still does the same thing
>>51428118
monitor may have the same 2 display limit
Tabs or Spaces, /g/?

Tabs.
Spaces. 3 of them. Use a monospace font
Tabs if your editor isn't shitty.

You meant to say, "Would you use Windows if it WERE free?"

True, Windows was better when it was basically a GUI for DOS.

How much of an impact does having multiple fans in a PC have on cooling? I currently have a Corsair H60 attached to my i7 6700k (which is running at ~70C at 100% load). The case is a Corsair 200R.
