If you are serious about switching to Linux, use it exclusively for 2 weeks.
Avoid booting to windows for that period of time, or you are likely to start retreating back to it instead of getting used to linux as your new home and working on making it feel comfortable
You can safely experience installation process and the basic usage through a virtual machine

Is linux outdated?
>>53524912
> a new kernel version was just
> outdated
wut
>>53524945
outdated =/= deprecated
Linux is outdated because it relies too much on the oudated concept of CLI, instead of fully embracing the GUI, like Apple and Microsoft have
old thread: >>53517629
What are you working on, /g/?
First for Java is the number one programming language
Can one of you guys explain me this? (in C)
"signed char" goes from -128 to 127 and we use the positive values for the ASCII code. There's a program where I need a special sign from the ANSI code but the value is higher than 127 (lets assume it's µ with 181), so why does the program works with "char", but not with "unsigned char" (which goes from 0 to 255). I don't get it.
>java
lmao
WTF I love Ubuntu now!
what a bunch of noobs. why don't they install a REAL distro?

Gentlemen, in your professional opinion, is a 600$+ chair worth the price difference from an average priced 250$ one?
I just went to the Herman Miller showroom in Dallas. After being there for an hour I dropped $1200 on a loaded aeron.
Never thought I'd do it, but it's a fucking great chair.
>>53523498
i bought a 200$ from a chain office store. I put down for extended warrenty. i plan on returning it and upgrading to a nicer chair like that one
If you can tolerate a used one you can have the best of both worlds.
Today is Richard Stallman's 63th birthday.
Will /g/ get him a present?
Happy bday Stallman!

Ask a guy who fell for the thinkpad meme anything
>>53512577
is it actually good battery, and why arentt u in college with a macbook
>>53512577
Well done. What did you get?
think pads look like laptops from the 80s and 90s
why did you not get something else
Anyone own pic related? Thinking about pulling the trigger on it but not sure if it's just a meme like Microsoft's tablets.
Also, general alternatives to laptops thread.
>>53512428
Unbelievably good hardware, absolutely fucking abysmal software. With each new update trying to fix old issues but just making new ones.
I bought one and returned it 3 weeks later. Had two other friends who got one as well. One finally gave up 8 weeks in, and the other just asked me yesterday if I could help him sell his.
The device is an absolute nightmare. DO
NOT
BUY
IT
>>53512489
Can't you just install some GNU + Linux distro?
>>53512543
No.
The computer hardware itself is very tied together with the windows operating system. You fuck up all sorts of shit if you try to install linux on it. Keyboard will stop working/endless looping reboots/ touchscreen irresponsive
Why did flywheel energy storage never get popular?
>>53523413
Explosion risk
Power drain
Expense so it doesn't explode
Basically it is niche
>>53523413
It's not like it's hard to solve the energy crisis.
1. Go to fucking space
2. Get a big fucking turbine
3. SPIN The fucker like... ONCE
4. Collect free energy forever because of the lack of really.... any resistance.
There, fucking nobel prize son.
because of variable velocidensity
you see, when you expand outward on a rotating drum, the inertial frame increases radially, leading some components to be out-of-sync with other components in space/time, and thus they crack in half ; destroying the entire system

Just did pic related to my MDR-V6s
What are my options for a thick and durable male > male audio cable? My price range is flexible, around $10
Not looking to go full placebophile, I just want a nice cable that will last
>>53512257
Forgot the image
>>53512276
Cool, was it hard to mod it?
Also, V-moda cables, those things are made to last and have a 1 year warranty.
>friend needs computer help

You say - "nice laptop anon" and then help your friend without being a neckbeard douchebag.
So? What's the problem?
>>53522860
Well its much more similar to linux.
I'm trying to install Linux Mint 17.2 XFCE on my HP Pavilion ze4800, and it never works past the slideshow. The slideshow ends up closing early and I don't get an install. I will also commonly receive error messages when booting the laptop. Pic related: one of the error messages I got when trying to run the installer after disabling the slideshow using "sudo apt-get remove ubiquity-slideshow-mint" I'm out of ideas to fix this. What do I do, /g/?
install gentoo

If none of that works, try installing it with an external CD/DVD reader
>>53512102
I've been using its built in DVD drive.
