I want to get into writing drivers for linux, I already know some C but how do i write drivers?
Do i need to just find some obscure hardware that doesn't work on linux and try to write a driver for it?
Dude, do you think anyone here knows more than python?
>>54554325
I dont gknow.
You don't want to write drivers. You want the leet prestige of saying you write drivers.
Give me a reason why I should install gentoo? I'm not a windows babby I have used a dozen different distros but never gentoo. I guess you can call me a Linux enthusiast and I'm curious.
>inb4 make your own decisions
>>54554205
Do you have an entire week of free time and absolutely nothing to do otherwise? Then install it.
>>54554205
If you want maintaining your OS to become your entire life then go ahead.
>>54554205
Gentoo is not practical installing, updating and maintaining it takes unbelievably long time. Use a binary based distro instead

I feel bad for amazon..
>they can't even give away their shitty tablets and phones
it's $49 though.
else i'd buy one
Because adware bundled and tied to your Amazon account.
Nexus 7 2013 blows them out the water.
As adblockers get more popular, the difference between content and ads fade away, and people can't tell the difference anymore.
Shit like this "funny picture" gets millions of views on Reddit every day, and "technology websites written by experts" read by users of this board keep posting paid articles mixed up with legit articles.
And that no autist gorshill will ever be able to block or hide without the kind of AI that will be affordable only after we die.

>As adblockers get more popular, the difference between content and ads fade away
implying this wasn't already happening before ad-blocking got popular
>Does she know she's an ad?
Were you on the internet before adblocking was a simple add-on? It was horrible. The sites got greedy as fuck with their pop-ups and shit everywhere.
Need a laptop that can go all day without a charge. Mostly text work and sshing. Has to be able to handle two ssds as I want to keep one for windows because some of the dba stuff I use requires it. But I would like to not put any personal information on a windows 10 hard drive. So dual boot.
Should probably have some good linux support thinking about a thinkpad x260. Supposed to have more then 12 hours of battery life for text work and web shit.
I have a t420 and w520 but even when I play manual on the power management doesnt go over 4 hours.
>>54553949
Hoping for first hand opinions.
>>54553949
sounds like you need a desktop faggot
>>54553949
MacBook Pro with a cd drive, replace with ssd
>Windows 10
Jumping ship, enough of this bullshit.
I think I'm ready for Gentoo, anything I need to keep in mind?
I'm primarily a Steam Gamer and am comfortable with having a smaller library, might be interested in A/V applications. Worth noting that I fell for the first generation VR meme and ordered an OSVR HMD.
Previous experience with Arch, Puppy, Ubuntu, Mint, DSL, and a little Debian.
>>54553935
Just get a cheap laptop and run linux on that. Having linux as your main OS is full retard.
You'd honestly be better off with OS X. I'm not memeing, it's like Linux done right.
I say that as someone who used Gentoo for three years before switching to OS X.
>>54555318
Forgot my screenshot for proof.
Just bought a Raspberry Pi 3, model b. What should I do with it, /g/?
Stick it up your ass
>>54553768
RetroPie and wireless controller
Beat Amazon to the drone delivery scene.
Does anyone here actually buy components from brick and mortar shops? Is it objectively better or is it just for privacy reasons?
>>54553734
thats how i met my gf
Microcenter is objectively cheaper than Newegg.
>>54553734
We have a local electronics store here that is typically cheaper than digi-key/mouser when shipping is factored in. I don't know why anyone wouldn't use b&m for that kind of thing, shipping is retarded on a bag of 10 milligram parts.
This is a support thread for Meriken's Tripcode Engine English.
3.0.0 (May 14, 2016)
Add preliminary support for Linux x86_64.
"Meriken's Tripcode Engine English" is a cross-platform application
designed to generate custom/vanity tripcodes at maximum speed.
It is arguably the fastest and most powerful program of its kind.
(This program actually runs faster than the original mty or
MTY_CL on the same hardware!) It makes effecitive use of
available computing power of CPUs and GPUs, and the user
can specify flexible regex patterns for tripcodes. It features highly
optimized, extensively parallelized implementations of bitslice
DES and SHA-1 for OpenCL, AMD GCN, NVIDIA CUDA,
and Intel SSE2/AVX/AVX2.
"Meriken's Tripcode Engine English" is free software, licensed
under GPLv3 and available for free download at the following links:

Got any benchmarks compared with other programs?
>>54553624
>binaries in git
JUST
>>54553702
Cool. It's not good to run programs like this for extended periods of time is it right?
How is AMD support on Linux these days?
The performance just doubled with the latest released.and is still crap, that alone should tell you how bad it is.
>>54553612
They have the best open source drivers. There closed drivers are sub-par.
>>54553612
open source drivers > amd proprietary drivers
you have to wait another year to see if games are going to be using Vulkan as extensively as DX12
Is there a bigger meme """"language"""" than html?
React.js/angular/node "apps"
>>54553526
>Hyper Text Markup Language
>""""language""""
another great thread by your truly daily fa/g/got, thx
>>54553526
HTML5 Is no meme. HTML5 powers the web.
Without HTML you wouldn't have posted this just now :^)
I have used i3 for a while, but I have seen others use awesome. Any reason for me to switch?
>>54553520
No. Just stick with what you are are using. Everyone has their own opinion and preference on window managers. Use what you feel is comfortable.
>>54553520
>that waste of space
>>54555122
and with this, a saner, more polite reply on /g/ was never to be seen again
Is he right?
>people shouldn't get offended
spoken like a true autist (i.e. non-important person)
>>54553484
"I like to cause pain to people because I think people who feel pain should feel pain."
>>54553548
Offense isn't pain
What is /g/ opinion on visual code?
Is it better than vim?
I can't install it without the fucking bloatware, so I choose to remove everything altogether.
>>54553367
are you sure its code? looks like vs community
>>54553320
It's shit
>67 degrees
Can we call bullshit on this yet?
Aw cute the AMDcuck doesn't believe that cards can run below 70C
Don't worry buddy I'd love to feel nice and toasty in the winter, too bad I can't and I'll evidently freeze to death.
>>54553227
It's a reference card, no reference car can run that low.
I wonder at what speed the fan was running at. It could be screaming at 100% or quietly at 40%.
>>54553268
It's a cooler designed for much higher TDP cards so it's quite possible it could be running that cool.
