I don't care what it's for; it's not technology.

master race
Hello /g/. I've been using Ganoo slash loonix for a while, however I need your help.
I have installed Fallout and it runs great with wine. However; I don't like having to sift through folders to finally find the exe file and run it through wine, so naturally I created a symlink usingln -s /home/sam/.wine/drive_c/GOG\ Games/Fallout/falloutw.exe falloutand running wine over the said symlink. Of course it didn't work, I get "wine: cannot find L"C:\\windows\\system32\\fallout.exe" " as an error....

It thinks you're trying to run the program, not the symlink.
Try wine ./fallout
>>44343662
Oh, thank you. We're making progress, I just get a "masterfile not found error". Apparently it found fallout but not the other files in the same folder.
How do I make Debian xfce look less like Windows 95?
Ask in the stupid questions thread and I'll answer you.

>Debian switched to Xfce as the default desktop environment back in November 2013. But that didn't last long because a few days ago, Debian restored GNOME as the default desktop, based on preliminary results from the Debian Desktop Requalification for Jessie.
>According to Joey Hess, the Debian developer who performed this change, the main reasons for Debian switching back to GNOME as the default desktop are related to accessibility and systemd integration:

so what does systemd even do? let your shit boot up 1/2 a sec faster?
no worth it for something worse than the services.msc Microsoft uses.
GNOME is junk. They also blew all their donations on total bullshit not related at all to the project.
I wipe my ass with GNOME

Do people still do this?
I've had it with Libre Office. For University it is impossible to survive in non-CS major with Libre Office (mine is chemistry)
Excel chart from professor came out wrong, power point notes all have wrong formats (superscript and subscript format is messed up in Libre Impress), I work in .ods spreadsheet then when I export to xlsx the chart came out altered - messed up axis
This is some bullshit. After all these years, why can't I have office that just werks on Linux
>>44342192
>just werks
literally blame microsoft for using nonstandard formats
Yeah, I can really get behind LibreOffice in principle, but in practice it fucks all kinds of formatting up and one of my instructors just flat up told me "I won't take assignments from you using this program" so I've basically been railroaded.
Try OfficeOnline, OP. I gave it a test drive the other day and it actually worked pretty well. You need a M$ account to use it, but it's all the functionality of Office without being hooked entirely into the botnet.
...entirely. Sorry, Stallmanu. Some sacrifices must be made.

Laptop General, I guess?
I'm looking for advice in buying a laptop for university graphics/photography classes
What I mean by that is that it should run photoshop and illustrator smoothly, as those are the main programs I use.
>inb4 a thinkpad general exists you fucktard
yeah, I know, but I'm not sure I want a thinkpad (I'm not saying I absolutely don't want one, though)
Oh, it should be available in italy
>>44322703
anything with an i3 or better with 8GB of RAM for your shitty bloated programs
>>44322703
Find something with an 870m or 880m I guess? Or build a much cheaper desktop and remote in from whatever you want I suppose.
>>44322781
That's a really good option that I didn't think of. I'll consider it
>>44322766
Any advice on specific models? Or even makers? Is Acer as shitty as they say?

iirc that's not possible unless you "cheat" and go through the houses. Once you know you can do that it's retardedly easy.
Okay, could you faggots explain to me, a layman, how GPG signatures work?
When I'm downloading software, how does a GPG signature guarantee that the software is legit?
If someone sets me up to download a fake software, couldn't they also set me up to download a modified GPG signature, which will show me that the software is legit even if it's not?
Yes you can have phonies in your chain of trust.
>>44196898
>how does a GPG signature guarantee that the software is legit?
It doesn't, but it guarantee that the software is the one the distributor signed and that you wasn't MITM'd
>>44196915
So you can never be 100% sure that the software you downloaded hasn't been tampered with?
Was the Sony Emotion Engine used in the Playstation 2 a good piece of technology (for its time)?
pls respond
>>44194008
If you didn't mind programming on a vendor-specific hardware platform...
Ah fukkit, EmotionEngine made pretty pictures but sucked ass.
No. It was weak. The only reason the PS2 could hold a candle to the gamecube was because of its coprocessors. That meant it was much, much harder to optimize games for it, though.
The gamecube had a more familiar CPU and a better GPU. But developers who could figure out how to program for the PS2 properly could realize games on it that wouldn't work like that on the GC.
TL;DR The EE itself was a piece of shit.
