Convince me to install Windows on my linux desktop under the following conditions:
1) I'm not a gaymen manchild
2) I'm not a retard with a sub-100 IQ and I can actually operate a console
Why not make decisions for yourself
If you feel Linux suits your needs either technologically or ethically then just use Linux, man
I use Windows but there's no reason why you should if you clearly don't want to use it
>>51913113
Gaming and widespread use and ease of use are the only reasons.
What can we do to destroy this company?

Where did firefox go so wrong?
Half a year ago it was a lot faster, but now it freezes and laggs when I start a youtube video.

What do you think? Picked it up from the printer's yesterday.
Hi /g/, I have a old samsung galaxy 3 lying around, I'm thinking about using it as a mp3player/camera combo, maybe use a few basic apps since I use a dumbphone for calling/texting etc.
The problem is that it uses up the battery far to quickly, how would you make it as minimal and un-bloated as possible?
>>51912541
Just flash kitkat rom.
>>51912541
kitkat CM 11
airplane mode, greenify, uninstall all things that you dont need, gapps.
Buy a new battery and reflash the stock rom via Odin.
Don't install CM, it ruins the camera and the sound; and probably even the battery.
Just run rooted stock (without xposed, mind you; that drains battery). Also, enable the battery saving mode.
Must have Windows programs?

I program and listen to music all day long and I don't play video games. Is the Macbook Pro right for me? Talk me out of getting the 13 inch Macbook Pro 256GB/8GB for Christmas. Portability and build quality are very important and the screen resolution is a huge plus. Is there even any competition at this level?
Just get it. You won't get a better trackpad from a pc, which is pretty much all that matters when working without a dedicated mouse.
>>51912008
The time to get a rMBP is pretty much over now. Laptops with Skylake Intel CPUs perform better and get much better battery life than any Macbook out now.
Programming isn't really good on Macs, but music and web browsing is a first class experience on Macs, lives up to the facebook machine reputation.
OP here, I just decided to get one, at a reseller no less because they're less expensive there. Hold me /g/, as I feel the smug sense of superiority already flowing through my veins.
MacBook Air 13 vs. Dell XPS 13 vs. Surface Pro 4
>>51911942
Air is a bad comparison, It sucks compared to other 2.
I would choose
1) New Macbook
2) XPS 13 (if auto brightness is unlocked)
3) Surface Pro 4 (I had a SP2, utter dogshit)

Really? I thought the SP2 was the last one that wasn't cucked because of muh thinness ruining battery life and temperatures.
Hey guys, what's wrong with OS X? I've been using it at work for a while and it seems superior to windows and it never slows down. It's reliable and even though this is a late 2013 model, it hasn't shown any signs of wear, while my 2012 windows laptop slows down all the time. So /g/, what exactly is wrong with this OS?
You can't customise shit
>>51911799
I'm not really much of a customization guy, I just want it to perform well and then it's fine with me.
>superior to Windows
slap yourself
Please coders help, how do I use a custom font on this thing?
http://rpg.pwntendo.com
The "Final Fantasy 6" font has no special characters which I need. How do I use a custom font? It should be easy for anyone in here that knows how to code to figure it out.
I have tried downloading the page to try to modify it online but doesn't work when I open the html, the blue box for the text doesn't show up and the font is missing.
I just want to make dialog boxes in final fantasy style for an animation and this box would make me go way...

What were your PC specs in 2006?
What was your dream PC upgrade that you just couldn't afford?
What was the game that you just couldn't run?
Did you make the jump to Vista or stick with XP?
penium 4
2gb ddr ram
onboard gpu
winxp
crysis
>>51911146
AMD64 3200+
1GB RAM
GeForce 6600GT
>>51911146
Early 2006 (going on since 2004)
AthlonXP 2800+
A-Bit NF7-S
1GB DDR-400(2x512MB)
Radeon 9600XT
>Later 2006
Core 2 Duo E6600 (shitty E1 stepping, I preordered a CPU)
DFI Infinity 975X/G
2GB DDR2-800 4-4-4-12 (2x1GB)
Radeon X1900GT
I have an E8400 that just won't die. It's already on its third motherboard and second set of ram modules, video card, and power supply.
Should I retire it or continue to give it life for as long as it continues to work?
>>51910910
Salute it with jizz & bury it in a graveyard.
you must buy some shitty hardware. My e8400 is still running fine OC'd to 3.8ghz on an ASUS motherboard and the original RAM.
>>51910910
my E4500 still "just works", even though it's almost 6 years old. It simply can't be killed.
Almost all official Microsoft hardware drivers are 10 years old, even on Windows 10.
>Microsoft hasn't updated their hardware drivers since Windows Vista.
>Windows shills will defend this.
how could anyone defend this, linux drivers get updated constantly
Care to explain what is broken with that driver?
>>51910695
>Implying something has to be broken in order to be able to make improvements.
I'm sure advancements have been made since MySpace was the number one most popular site.
