So, what's the problem, /g/? I think you've overblown this Microsoft botnet meme.

But reddit have overblown the Microsoft botnet meme too, they're just like /g/.

if I was in control, I'd be able to turn it off entir
Linux is more stable in a VM under Windows.
Prove me wrong.
>no KVM
It's not? VM GL drivers are awful, but I have no trouble with Linux on the physical hardware I own. Maybe you just bought shit hardware.
>>52187896
prove you aren't a faggot
protip: you can't
So let me explain this one thing about why Linux gaming will never take off.
First of all, most Linux ports are being held back performance wise by OSX. Most devs have problems with keeping multiple OGL codepaths (4.1 support for OSX and 4.5 for GNU/Linux). If it were that easy, we'd already see a major performance difference between OSX and Linux ports.
However, once Vulkan arrives, this won't change anything. Devs will still have to write a seperate renderer for Vulkan, and this is the issue: They could have done the same with OGL 4.3 extensions (such as buffer storage, more on this here:
http://de.slideshare.net/CassEveritt/approaching-zero-driver-overhead )
Nothing was preventing them from writing a seperate renderer for OGL 4.3-5 in the first place. They simply choose not to because Apple is a bitch and requires so many workarounds in their OpenGL driver, it takes away all their development time and they can't focus on a seperate OGL renderer for 4.3-5 extensions, nor much of the Linux port itself.
As long as Apple doesn't improve their OGL driver (They won't implement Vulkan, instead they focus on their shitty Metal API), Linux gaming is going nowhere
That's it.
>>52187867
Game devs should just ignore OSX, t.b.h.
The average Mac doesn't have the hardware power to play games, anyway.
Then you can still release shitty 2D indie games for all OSs, because performance optimization doesn't matter much there.
>>52188041
That is the thing they should do, but not the thing they can, they already make less money each day. However, they would sell TONS more games on Linux if performance was far better.

As a Mac user, I gotta say, Windows is pretty based when debloated.

What are you, 10?
Enjoy your botnet.

Bu.. but i use DuckDuckGo.
What is the best smartphone i can get for $170 or less?
Probably the Lenovo K3 Note
5.5" screen
2GB Ram
8 core cpu
13mp camera
removable battery
Micro sd
iphone
That's a stupid budget. Go with $200 and you're choosing between the following mid-range top perfomers:
Moto G (3)
Asus Zenfone 2
Alcatel OneTouch Idol 3
For $170 or less, you can't get afford any of those and you're going to get a shit phone.
Why aren't you using zeon processor?
zeon processors don't exist.
>>52187343
Yup 4:30 AM my brains shutting down.
>>52187343
That's a good reason not to own one, I guess.
Noob here, just finished installing Arch Linux on my laptop. I've never really thought about choosing which window manager I used, I always just used whatever shit I was handed. But I've decided to try other stuff. What would /g/ suggest for someone that wants semigloss title bars, and a dark look. I also want decent compatibility and performance. any advice is appreciated.
Try openbox
>>52187272
You're about to be inundated by a load of ricer fags who are going to demand that you use i3 or some other satanism.
Resist.
Openbox has by far the best functions and usability.

>installing Linux on metal
well meme'd
GNU/Linux edition.
for some if I use the top DVI port of my graphics card I get a fair few fps than when I use the bottom DVI port.
Why would this be?
The bottom port however is capable of driving my monitor at 120hz and the top port is only capable of 60hz.

Hey guys. I'm not "that" new to programming. However, I know it's what I want to do with my life. I want to code for a living. Coding is exciting. It's relaxing. I can kick back, watch Netflix on one monitor, and code on the other. Now I understand that I can't do that for a living like that, but it's nice to do now.
My ultimate goal, is to design games. I know, it's the typical wish. But I'm not some 12 year old who wants to copy and paste his way to the top. I'm looking to create for myself. If others like it, great. If not, that's great to. I'm looking to make things for myself, that others might happen to enjoy.
Anyway, after that long introduction.. where do I start? I started looking into CSS (and HTML, but I'm pretty fluent in basic-moderately advanced HTML) on CodeAcademy. However, CSS and HTML just don't speak to me. I can't see myself enjoying doing website development.
So, it all comes down to game development. Would a good start be ActionScript 3.0, and develop flash games? As far as I'm aware, my main options are Python, C#, C++, or Flash.
I'd be super happy if you could send some recommendations my way, and if you'd like, some examples of games that were made with said language.
Sorry for the wall of text, and thanks!
I'd also appreciate it if you'd refrain from saying "start anywhere". I prefer a solid starting point, and I can go on my own from there. Thanks again!

Here is you're reply.
>Please wait while the font cache rebuilds
>This should take less than a minute
why
because it stores a font cache and someone working on VLC decided that should be rebuilt every once in a while
you need to be more specific if you want a less retarded answer.
>>52186961
why does it take more than a minute?
I have a good pc
>this should take less than a minute
