Name a better operating system. Pro tip: you can't.
I can't
Windows 95 sucked.
Just look at how bad even 98 shat all over it
Windows 3.1
why is new technology failing to get adopted by the mainstream audience?
smartwatches, virtual reality, google glass, etc
>>52170387
Aren't smartwatches doing.pretty well for what is little more than a gimmick?
VR isn't officially on the consumer market until late 2016

Hi guys.
I installed Linux (Xubuntu) today but I'm having a bit of a problem.
When I try to upload images to here (using Chromium) there are no thumbnails. In addition, they're really really small.
Any way to enable thumbnails and make them bigger?
Thanks.
I saved a few pics from the front page to demonstrate. Pic related.
Xubuntu uses a GUI toolkit called GTK. The feature you're looking for (and that is absent) is specific to GTK. There are ways for developers to add thumbnails to the file picker, but for some reason it's absent from most GTK applications. People have been asking the Gnome developers to implement thumbnail support for ~11 years, and they haven't - because they're a bunch of intensely incompetent fuckwits.
As far as I know, which file chooser to open is entirely up to the application developers. So, some applications will use the GTK one, some will use the Qt one, some will use the KDE one.
For more info, here's the bug report from 11 years ago:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=141154&
>>52169904
What? It shows a preview of images in Chromium. Are you talking about seeing large thumbnails like Windows 7?
>>52170038
Well... shit.
>>52170086
Yeah the big images like in Windows. Although I'm not even getting the small previews that you're getting.
Year of the Linux Desktop

Happy New Year /g/.
Ubuntu has been a viable replacement for years now
The only thinking keeping it out is MS being a douchebag company and strong-arming Windows onto every computer in the universe.
>>52168189
Damn. Even Win 10 can't do all this shit properly. Definitely not OSX. OP, the OS you seek does not exist.
Sounds a bit like opensuse but the tier one installer is the problem,
>>52168208
Ubuntu doesn't have the management tools for everything but it's up their for this qualification
Who else is spending as little as possible on tech in 2016, and putting some money away instead? Who will refuse to be a good goy this year?
As someone who's poor- this is every year.
>>52167847
I'm fully adopting the tech minimalist lifestyle myself. I'm saving money for important stuff like guns and food. I'll stick it to the jews for you OP

what is my best option on the market right now for wanting to play movies and videos on any tv from a portable device?
Hey guys is there any good and free way to covert mp4 files into mpg?
So i dug up an old prebuilt I stripped for parts a while back, it has a phenom II x6 on some proprietary HP pavillion motherboard. We stuck new ram, a new power supply and a 7950 in it, but there is no input signal, I fear after years of being in the attic the motherboard or cpu died. I've tried many things to get it to work and I would appreciate any suggestions. Already tried cmos reset, holding power down to clear capacitance, using different video slots, and switching ram ports. The full model is HP Pavilion Elite HPE-410y Desktop PC. Therte is only one green light on the motherboard.
16 years ago tonight the media had spread fears over the Y2K Bug. Were you worried?
>>52165768
Nah. I was sitting at my neighbors house drinking pineapple juice. I was only 9 at the time, and didn't really see what the big deal with some numbers flipping over was.
>>52165768
i wasn't alive :^)
>>52165768
Lots of people got very rich doing Y2K certification runs. Selling Y2K compliance scanners etc.
All disappeared in early Jan 2000.
Just seeing if there are any NEET's like me.
Not in employment, education or training. What do you do?
I'm trying to learn web development so I can just work remotely, get some freelance gig's.
I hear it's impossible to leave neetdom once you derail your life by dropping out of college/taking a gap year/etc.
How's the neet life?
Hi anon.
I've been a neet for 3 years, don't do anything because i lack motivation to do/learn/study anything, that's why i'm stuck here.

New watch thread. Let's talk about timekeeping technology.
Required viewing for newbies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWh3rksXJyQ
Previous Thread: >>52129288
First for hype!
Anyone recommend me some sub £100 watches?
I really have gotten fond with the submariner pepsi bezels.
I also have always liked IWC portaguese style of watches. Too bad I don't have £30k to drop on one.

Hello /g/watch,
Can we talk about dial colours for a moment?
I didn't bother to ask the effay thread, since it usually takes a less than practical slant to things watch.
I was wondering, what dial colour do you prefer or predominantly prefer?
Is your collection (or one watch) of a certain shade or hue?
Do you like that?
Are there dial colours that you would never wear?
Why?
I've found myself always being drawn to the high contrast white on black design.
Typical military application of white/silver hands and white indices on a black dial. The rest of the watch can be whatever, but I generally insist on this.
I just find it so much easier to see. True black (rather than charcoal) is preferred.
I can't for the life of me stand white dialed watches, even though I stare forlornly at Nomos and wish things weren't so (their dark faced models have thin spindly silver hands that don't provide enough contrast nor enough reflection for my liking, as opposed to say, a Grand Seiko mirrored diamond edge hand or whatever).
What's worst of all?
Silver dial, silver hands.
Find it too difficult to tell the time at a quick glance in broad daylight.
A pity, as I do enjoy seeing all the vintage models you guys flaunt on here in that scheme.
I collect pocket watches, and they're all white but as for the watches I'd actually wear around day to day, it's just the ole Orient Mako blueface that breaks my monochrome funk.
Is anyone else as boring as me?
It's over /g/, Ubuntu won.
