Welcome to /fglt/. We are always open to users of all levels, including absolute beginners.
There are four ways to try GNU/Linux, you can:
0) Install a GNU/Linux OS on a VM (Virtual Machine/VirtualBox) for "safety purposes"
1) Use the Live ISO directly without installing anything, that way, you can get a "full GNU/Linux experience".
2) Dual-boot GNU/Linux with Windows/Mac (recommended if you want to learn more about GNU/Linux)
3) Go balls deep and overwrite everything with GNU/Linux
Before asking, please search for answers to your questions in resources.
Please be civil, notice the "Friendly" in every Friendly GNU/Linux Thread.
Understand that much of your software from Windows will be unavailable, although maybe WINE can make up for it.

What's the best hosts file to use on Linux to block ads?
Is there a distro in which the DPI scaling isn't dogshit and has thumbnails in the file picker?
>>54768294
A little known distro called Ubuntu does that
If you mean a thumbnail in gallery view, then no, I don't know why Linux is so shit at that but that's life

K, so first message,
Why shouldnt i buy an iPhone 6 guys?
I'm about to do it, but dont want to waste the money...
>>54766732
The whole point of an iPhone is to have the latest fashion accessory. The 6 is already outdated so you'll just look like a tryhard poorfag.
>>54766732
Why not iPhone 6s while your'e at it?

Hello /g/ents. After some testing using the most recent x264 and x265 encoders I could find, I have concluded that we are now ready to adopt 10-bit HEVC as the standard video codec. It's now only ~3X slower to encode and compression efficiency is ~50% better compared to 10-bit H264.
I transcoded a 720p HQ version of Big Buck Bunny with 10-bit HEVC at a fixed 800 Kbps ABR (1-pass) and with 10-bit H264 at different bitrates (also 1-pass ABR) to compare. Those bitrates include 800, 1144, 1334, and 1600 Kbps.
Here is the 800 Kbps 10-bit HEVC MKV: http://www.mediafire.com/download/6fob4pzy0voaapu/10-bit_HEVC.7z
Here are the 10-bit H264 MKVs: http://www.mediafire.com/download/oo5luitse6izc2c/10-bit_H264.7z
10-bit x265 encoder used: https://builds.x265.eu/x265-64bit-10bit-2016-05-26.exe
10-bit x264 encoder used: stock MeGUI 2624 encoder
Video encoder used: MeGUI 2624
Anyway I made this thread because I want to know what you all think. Will you now use 10-bit HEVC because of how much it has improved or would you rather stick with old 10-bit H264 for a little longer?
Finally I realize that comparing video quality isn't easy so I made a straw poll for comparing the video files I uploaded: http://www.strawpoll.me/10320687
The point of the poll is to confirm the 50% better compression efficiency I estimate 10-bit HEVC has compared to 10-bit H264. If the 1144 Kbps 10-bit H264 encode wins then that means then the compression efficiency drops to 40%. If the 1334 Kbps 10-bit H264 encode wins then that means the compression efficiency drops to 30%.
All the bitrates I mentioned only include video bitrate. All video files have a 96 VBR Opus audi file btw.
Forgot, here is the source I used to make all the encodes: http://download.blender.org/peach/bigbuckbunny_movies/big_buck_bunny_720p_h264.mov
Your HEVC encodes look like shit compared to a properly done x264 encode. The truth hurts, son, and x265 just isn't there yet.
If it's good enough for you, whatever, but it's got a long loooooonnnnnnnnnnnggggggggggg way to go before it can match the actual visual quality of x264.
And you have a shitty laptop too, for the record.

Seriously just chemically castrate yourself. Doesn't hurt at all, your cock still works, and you get perfectly smooth skin. Don't have to shave, your hair gets softer, there's no downside.
