How do these high-profile graphics card affect daily computer use?
>>54756942
I like the GPU self baking feature. The card heals itself if it ever has a bad connection.

This thread is for anything you've experienced upgrading to windows 10
I'll start
>Two of my family PCs have upgraded without permission.
The first one's wireless usb card drivers didn't work. There aren't even any comparable drivers avaliable for it. I even tried different chipsets to no avail. Ended up buying a new card even though the card was only 6 months old.
Second one kept crashing for no apparent reason. Booted into safe mode and crashes persisted. Most of the time they were freezes that didn't unfreeze so there was no useful information from event or crash logs. Disabled every driver and it seems to crash less with the on board Graphics driver disabled. Still haven't found a fix.

I built an SSD into the laptop of my grandfather because it was booting 5 minutes and the only bottleneck seemed to be the HDD.
Also installed Win10 because he wanted that.
Win10 needed about 2 minutes to boot from the SSD and I had no clue why, poked around a bit and found out that it was caused by the AMD driver for the extra GPU.
So I uninstalled the driver, rebooted the PC and it took about 15 seconds to boot.
While working on the next probems I notice that the screen flickered for a second and immediately had a bad feeling... turned out Windows 10 re-installed the AMD driver in the background.
End of the story was that I had to uninstall the AMD driver, shut down the PC before Windows could reinstall it and switch off the GPU in the BIOS so Windows couldn't find it anymore.
Do fresh installs have better stability or are most drivers just incompatible?

I have none :^) Most people I know either keep updates disabled or just use cracked 7 Enterprise :^) I told them to do so :^)
Are there any non-autistic reasons why someone would choose Arch over Debian Unstable?

Yes.

Didn't know what board to put this on, but I thought it was pretty cool. In the game Hacknet (on steam), there's a hidden image board modeled after 4chan's boards, called /el/ Digital Security. It only has 8 or so static threads, but they're pretty cool, and I thought it was a nice addition. You can check it out on Steam.
The game has me interested in coding - I looked up a simple language, Python, and a guide to start out with,
http://learnpythonthehardway.org/book/
Is this a good language to start out with? From what I know, other languages like C++, C#, C, CSS, XNL, etc are much more popular, thus are probably more useful. What do?
I heard the C variant written by the same author was very good
>>54756771
Thanks, will check it out
From what i know, python is ideal for hacking, i just got a book called black hat python, amd it prettyuch teaches you how to hack with the language.
Where do I start?
>>54756296
Terry Davis, HolyC will teach you pretty quickly

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.

Looking to buy my first tablet. I want to use it mainly for traveling (browsing, watching videos, wtc...)
Anyone got any recommendations? I am eyeing the Microsoft Surface currently.

No.
Pick up a Galaxy Tab or something.
Get the iPad Pro 12 or 9 it scores higher in benchmarks than an i3 PC or if you want something smaller iPad mini 4

thanks for direction, currently looking into the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 atm

Depend on which type of battery your phone are using, most shouldn't matter
Windows:
> Need to edit fucking text? Buy Office for only $99999,00/year
> Want to edit audio? Buy from third party companies!
> Need to edit a video? Well use Movie Maker or buy something else!
> Paid updates (inb4 windows 10 is free, it wont be soon)
OS X:
> iWork is free
> Garageband is free (pic related)
> iMovie is free
> Free OS updates for life
You do know that you can literally get better apps than the Apple ones for free? Just YouTube search, "How to get Adobe Photoshop CC for Free". If you can follow along, it should be quite easy!
I gotta say, Apple OS X native programs are pretty decent.
Except for safari.
