To make my transition to linux smoother, I thought I'd make a list of windows apps I use pretty regularly use and ask for the Linux equivalents.
Art programs:
Paint tool sai, clip studio(gimp is not a fair replacement. Krita is unstable)
Media player:
Media player classic
Powerdvd for blurays
Audio:
Foobar2k with addons
PDF editor:
Adobe acrobat
Sync with Android phone:
Sidesync
Screencap:
Gyazo and puush
This I would like with Linux:
Good package manager so I can easily manage what I have installed and what I can/should remove.
Audio device manager(I use speakers, headphones with amp and dac, and headset).
That's all I could think of for now....
4chan really needs to implement a subscribe and upvote button.
>art program
PS in wine, pinta, inkscape, learn gimp you fucking casual
>media player
smplayer+mplayer or mpv
>audio
ncmpcpp+mpd
>pdf editor
libreoffice->export as pdf
>sync with android phone
mount it as flash drive, like any sane person would. if you phone cannot be connected as a flash drive, then it's shit, get a new one
>screencap
scrot or DEs own screencap tools
For a lot of this check out this link.

Seriously.
Does /g/ have any home security system? Did you set something up DIY or buy some pre-packaged thing? Got burglarized this morning and someone stole all my stuff the day after Christmas. I just wish I could have seen their face, I live in the ghetto and I'm sure it was a neighbor. ; _ ;
That really sucks, OP. The worst thing about getting robbed isn't the financial loss, it's the loss of security in your own home, and the emotional attachments to the stolen items.
I intend to set up a home security system based around a low-powered server and a handful of webcams. Just going to run USB over cat5 to their locations, and record the last two days or so to a smallish RAID setup.

That's what you get OP, stop trying to gentrify the neighborhood you racist
>>52078277
How much would such a set up cost me? Know of any freeware that can be used to upload the footage to Google Drive or some other free online storage? I see there are usb motion sensors, or some security cams that have then built in. I'd just point one at my front door so when they kick it in it just gets a good picture of their face.

When did Ubuntu get so good?
Was all the shitposting just a meme? (I know, ironic isn't?)
The hate towards unity isn't that uncommon. Probably the only /g/ opinion I've constantly heard in real life.
Ubuntu has always been good, Unity is the problem. It was best when it had old-school gnome.
I last tried Ubuntu in 2010 and it was still shitty and broken
Why should I use it when Windows 10 just works?
Is it okay to call yourself a "web designer" if you make websites in wordpress? I am starting to take clients as a private web designer, but all I'm doing is using websites to make pages. Is this okay?
you're designing the website, aren't you?
>>52077226
Garbage collector is now "sanitation engineer". You are probably ok.
>>52077253
Yeah, but there's no coding or anything. I just use a wordpress template and throw some content into it. I just started last week and am already making some decent looking web pages. I feel like I'm cheating or something though.
How do the pc builders of /g/ handle operating systems? Do you bite the bullet and pay for Windows 7? Resort to a life of piracy? Become an gentooman?
>>52077221
Pirate gentoo
I still have an .iso from when MS freely gave away Windows 7. I just use daz loader with it.

*arch is a meme
It's literally the most useless distro. It's targeted at desktops and sucks as a desktop OS.

Hi /g/, I don't often post in this board but I need some help.
Some days ago I uprgraded my CPU and GPU from a Phenom II X4 955 and a HD 6950 2GB to pic related and also got Windows 10 x64 (updated)
I now have higher FPS but not that much, for example Battlefield 3 have drops below 60 maxed out and BF4 often drops to 45 fps with most options set on ultra when looking at large parts of the map (mantle or directx 11 it doesn't make any difference). Even if I set all on LOW the FPS won't get that much higher maybe 15 or 20 more (average). Another exaples are CS:GO that wont get over 140FPS which is few for my hardware or Black OPS III that have some little drops in the campaign also maxed out.
BF4 doesn't use more than 60% of the CPU like most other games, so that isn't the problem.
Also temperature isn't the problem. (CPU below 65ºC and GPU below 70ºC when playing)
I tried everything alrerady:
>Update ALL drivers (even BIOS)
>Unpark CPU cores
>Set max values on "msconfig" (RAM and cores)
>Reinstall DX
>Selecting best options in BIOS
>Obviously V-Sync disabled in-game and also via video driver.
>Changing the virtual memory up to 8192MB.
I'm upgrading my monitor soon and YES, I have AMD, no bully pls.
TL;DR: MY HARDWARE DOESN'T PERFORM HOW IT SHOULD.
Thanks for reading.

AMD FX processors are not that bad in multi-tasking etc, but they're shit when in comes to gaming. Correct me if i am wrong, but the cores on the amd fx processors are weaker individual compared to Intel which can bottleneck your vidya gaymes
Is this thing safe? It seems like a really good deal for what else I've seen on Amazon.

Judging by the amperage, it can support 3 devices at 2.2A (the Apple Amperage).
And then everything else plugged in will shit itself.
Make sure that you're aware of your maximum power usage so that your peripherals don't shit themselves.
DON'T BUY THIS IT MAKES MUSTARD GAS

I'll be fitting it with a Yeti, iPhone, sometimes an SD adapter, couple of flash drives...
What are the essential skills that all non-troll honest and true /g/entoomen should know? Here is my two cents.
First and foremost:
>A genuine love for technology rather than of consumerism or video games.
Considering the things that actually impresses /g/:
>knows C (assembly for extra points)
>has tried gentoo (or at least one alternative operating system)
>can into command line
>knows the interjection by heart
>can contribute to at least one decent general (for example casio/hamradio/fucko)
>is aware of the crucial arguments on both sides in important political issues raised by technology such piracy and free software so that he can come to his own conclusions, instead blindly spouting the opinions fed to him by others
Perhaps also that he does at least one aspect of his computing in a pointlessly contrived and complicated way that is incomprehensible to normies for at least one of the following reasons:
>it gives him more control
>he likes the feeling
>internet points
What do you think, anons? I'm sure I've missed some stuff out.
bump. What time is it over in burgerland?
No1 cares go to channel8 or lain or irc
>program in a language
>know how to encode
>know how to build proper
>know how to install program/os and read the fucking manual
>know how to use google search to find out 99.99% answer to all of your questions
Just ONE
