Hey /g/, I want to move away from Windows for good. Which GNU plus Linux distro should I get? Preferably one that's easy to use and has a windows-like UI for a smoother transition.
>inb4 Gentoo
Literally any of them. Any *buntu, Mint, Debian, Arch if you feel brave, just pick one and stick one anon. They're all nice in their own ways.
>>51906282
when the windows 10 thing happened I switched to mint, havent had a crash lockup or anything for 3 months feels good man
>>51906282
hijacking and i kinda cant wait to get butchered on this but is there any way to play league on a linux distro? how about dota or hots..?

Ive been too lazy to replace my Inspirons dead battery, so everytime the charger falls out the laptop just shuts off. Recently it's had to repair my HDD when turning back on. A replacement battery isn't expensive but my ancestors survived the holocaust.

Fucking obvious b8

I feel like I'm asking for homework help on /sci/ and it's probably the same taboo I'm attempting to step over here.
I broke the internal screen and I'm trying to source a new one. I've never done this before but I'll figure it. Can /g/ point me in directions for sourcing this part? I'm mid-west Canada. Thanks I hope, and I hope I'm not breaking more sacred laws here than I think I am.

I had no idea this was such an active board. My thread was page 2 in under a minute. I like gadgets? Come on, I'm new here. Throw me an actuator!
It's getting cold. come on anon.
Nadella, Pichai, Suri and Narayen aren’t exactly household names. But the companies they run are: Microsoft Corp. , Google Inc., Nokia Corp. and Adobe Systems Inc.
On Monday, Google announced a restructuring plan that elevated 43-year-old Sundar Pichai to chief executive. It is a reminder that the CEOs of some of the world’s most recognizable tech companies share origins from India.
That they all ascended to the corner office might not be a coincidence. A recent cross-cultural study from Southern New Hampshire University examined managers from the U.S. and India, for example, and found that more Indian managers achieved the highest ranking in terms of leadership traits.
Indian managers are future-oriented, and had a “paradoxical blend of genuine personal humility and intense professional will,” the study said. “These leaders achieved extraordinary results and built great organizations without much hoopla.”

I would like to continue the discussion on why this gaming laptop is a bad deal compared to a desktop.
Specs:
$800
Intel Core i7 Haswell 4710HQ
16Gb 1600MHz LPDDR3
Nvidia GTX 860M/960M 4Gb
512Gb Crucial SSD
3840x2160 IPS display
>>51905809
gaming pc + x220 combo master race.
The 860M/960M is complete shit.
>>51905864
Relative to what exactly?
Serious question time /g/. What is the advantage to using Linux besides the ricing and lack of a botnet? It has video games, sure, but how will it stack against Windows excluding the 2 aforementioned things?
If you don't know why you'd need it, you don't need it.
>>51905799
This picture makes me very disgusted, I wish people would stop posting it
>>51905817
Fair enough anon-kun. I like the ricing, the shit some people do in the desktop thread is amazing, and the botnet I appreciate, but it just seems like a waste on my tiny laptop HDD.
Maybe when I get a new PC and buy a second 1TB drive I'll get a distro that isn't Ubuntu-based. Yes, my first distro was Ubuntu.
Who's still rocking a Phenom II in this mofo
>>51905759
Yo!
I run it in a heavily throttled (500mhz 0.825v) state though. Keeps heat and power draw down, as this rig idles 99% of the time.
>>51905933
Why...
>>51905950
because this computer is a mix of a net browsing machine and personal file server. Dont need much more than that.
Theres also the fact that my OEM Intel LGA 775 board does not have Gig-E, and my pentium M board, while it does have gig-e, uses single channel DDR, and its ultimately slower than my Phenom II in all aspects, even if I did re-pin mod it and clocked it back to 2.7ghz.
Believe me, if I had a viable alternative, I would have taken it by now.
I currently running Ubuntu but I want to get to the next step and install Arch.
During, the install, I can't connect to the internet.
On my real machine, during the install#ip link
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP (...)
2: eno1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> (...)
3: wlp3s0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> (...)
I successfully installed arch in a virtrual machine. Running the same command gives back :#ip link
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP (...)
2: enp0s3: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> (...)
Finally, on my current Ubuntu setup :#ip link
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP (...)
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> (...)
3: wlan0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> (...)
Do someone have an idea why the Arch installation is the only one to suffer from unreachable network?
I already tried the /sqt/ but my question remained unanswered... so I try this thread before giving up.
Is this a problem with your mirror list, or can you not even get a ping?
you should use oogaboogabuntu
>>51905810
Not even a ping.
This is the same .iso that I tried to train on the virtual machine so I have difficulties to know what can be the origin of this issue...
I think it's not related but I usedd bs=4M if=/path/to/archlinux.iso of=/dev/sdb && syncto make the usb I use for the install.
>>51905865
Come on man, I am currently using Ubuntu. But this is a temporary step and I want to graduate to Arch now. It's not that the install is too difficult since I trained on virtualbox, I am just having difficulties to troubleshoot.
ITT: Post why you think C# is the best language of the last decade.
I'll start,
>Easy to learn, easy to use
>Extensive .NET library
>Pinvoke.net is great
>Safeguards the programmer from simple yet dangerous mistakes
>Highly flexible(web dev, all sorts of frameworks, mono, etc)
Okay, I'll bite. Got an internship to make web apps, asp.net with c# backend. Didn't now diddly about any sort of practical programming. C# really helped hone the skills and boost confidence. Been there for a year and a half now, so I can say I definitely like it and would recommend
>>51905633
How did you do it without any experience or knowledge desu? Did you just learn on the job?
Why is it so hard to understand that macbooks give you a superior experience to any windows laptop you will buy?
Cause you're a fag
The way I understand it, you only buy a macbook if you want to fit in at starbucks or at college because you're afraid people will call you poor for not blowing $1000 on a computer that you MUST replace every year.
I'm not being facetious. If you bought a macbook for vanity reasons, you cannot stick with an old model or else people will just assume you're poor and bought it used.
I followed the /g/ advice and got Sennheiser HD 202's, Cottonball Mod, used Equalizer APO/Peace and Room EQ to fine tune to flat.
What more can I improve audio quality?
seems like an awful lot of effort for some dinky little shit headphones
>on ear headphones
Might as well use cups attached to a string

Why do you guys like technology?
Because women don't like me
I'm lazy and I like exploring. Technology helps with both of those issues.

I-is that a /fa/ meet up?
Hey /g/. I have a question for all the folks here who actually work in the field.
I am about to completely restart my career. I done fucked up my youth, got drunk, travelled, had my fun basically, and crashed hard as a result.
After about 10 years of picking up the pieces, building a home, relationships, and my health back to a decent standard, and after being told for that entire decade "anon, you are way too damn smart for this job. You should work with computers." I ha e decided it is about time to do just that. I really want to make games. On the coding end, not the artistic end.
But I have some questions.
1) Game Programming diploma vs. Computer Science degree. Does it matter if I can build up a decent portfolio? Seems like the diploma will get me industry contacts and better specialized knowledge, but the degree is more likely to land a job. Also a factor is that I am old. If I can shave a year off doing the diploma, that would be great, and the degree program is a lot harder to get into as a mature student. Besides, I don't have the Bank of Mom&Dad to draw on here. Gotta $ave dat money.
2) Again, old. I assume this will make getting a job a challenge. People won't want to hire some old fuck fresh out of school. But will it be difficult even getting the education? Anyone have experience with this?
3) I have led a rough life. I have no convictions, and have been careful not to leave a big ugly online footprint, but I do look like a biker. I have tattoos. My language is rough, and my accent is thick. Do employers care about this sort of thing? Or is it really all about your work?
Any answers or opinions here would be appreciated. And yes, I realize it will be a bitch competing with the wunderkinds, but at the very least, I hope my life experience can give me an edge here.
They probably will care about it, anon-kun. Remove the tattoos, you look like a degenerate.
>>51905358
I kinda figured that might be the case. I will add it to the budget. Visible tattoos at least. Already married, so don't need to worry about any coverable tattoos. No thoughts on the rest of it?
>>51905334
at 44, i started my 3rd career. sold the house, gave away the car, bought a motorcycle and went and got a degree in computer animation.
made good contacts and got my first industry job 2 months after leaving school. i was the oldest one there at a small studio in souther cali. was a great job, and led to other contacts and other work.
it was very tough getting through school (incredibly grueling schedule there, and on purpose to weed ppl out), but it was worth it.
take the shot bro, but i'd say you owe it to you'reself to work through PPP2 in it's entirety *before* you enroll. then it will literally be just a walk in the park for you to get a quick diploma in game dev.
remember, it's the contacts you make at school that matter most...guard them well.
