Windows is and will always be the superior operating system. I work with Linux cucks everyday and the only thing they can say is muh page file muh less ram resources
>Better and more functional gaming experience
>Much better and way more stable graphic drivers capable of pushing the video card to the max
>Virtual Machines work way better in Windows with apps like VMWare and VirtualBox
>Applications go far in compatibility which ranges decades ago. I can open windows xp and even Windows 95 apps on a modern Windows 10 OS.
>Applications are tend to be built for Windows first and receive better treatment from developers
>Linux is for try hards who think they look different and show off a hipster vibe while they show me their elitle haxor skills. Saddly it doesn't work on the ladies now, does it?
>Windows is the most used operating system running in the most profitable businesses in the US.
>Open Source is a sham. In Windows you can make your own open source apps.
You can't run Window 95 apps on Windows 10 shithead

Wrong on the first claim.
Second claim is unverifiable.
Hardware sucks right now. AMD is burning out mother boards. Nvidia 3.5 memes and planned obsolescence. Not to mention 1080gtx is like $990.00 dollars in canada...
I mean I could keep waiting for the next card but I want a new card.... Is it time to but a PS4 /g/?
Rx480 hasn't burned any boards

Yes I'm sure regular users will expect the same thing. They play witcher 3 24/7 for weeks on end afterall
Linux is a terrible operating system compared to the likes of Windows 7-10.

>No shitty night time builds that are unreliable
>Not for try hard l33t hackers like lincucks
Windows for the fucking win. Go die
Cool bait, but in all serious Linux, and free and open-source software in general, suffer from many shortcomings. It has its place, though. Just like Windows and MacOS, which suffer from their own particular set of problems. No point in getting all riled up over it.

>compatibility with apps since windows XP
The Linux kernel still supports applications from 95 NT doe.
>Graphics APIs
What is Vulkan? What is OpenGL? These are Standards that work on all platforms and operating systems (including windows) so there's no need for DX really senpai.

Guess who just installed Gentoo?! Can someone help me weigh the pros and cons of KDE vs XFCE? I'm not sure which would best suit my needs.

You're still a faggot OP. Use AwesomeWM

Hey guys, noob anon here, I'm using an android app to learn some things about Python, but I don't understand this code, can someone explain? The solution of the 2nd line says that I must fill with a +, but why?
Because "+=" means "the variable will add the following number to itself."
x += 5
is the same as saying
x = x + 5
which is the same as saying
"x's new value will be its current value plus five."
>>55386314
Thx a lot anon! I spent all the night thinking about that :)
>>55386334
You can also do it with -=, *=, /=, and a few more in some languages.
If you don't program in APL, Coq, or FORTH, and don't know/understand lambda calculus, you're not a hacker.

Bought a freesync monitor, sold R9 390.
Which direction woudl you go /g/
RX 480+freesync or 1070+vsync?
Considering the ~$200 price difference I'm leaning toward the 480. Ordered an 8gb model today for $230, but can easily return it.
I'm leaning toward waiting on an AIB 480 and returning the reference 480 or possible going with a 1070 if the price drops to around the MSRP of $380.
>>55386246
Wait for the whole range to come out.
>>55386246
As someone who has used both G-Sync and Freesync I have to say that AMD has the better technology for this. When I played games like Battlefield 4 and Hardline for example. With my 290 I could play BF4/Hardline on Ultra with no AA and get about 60~90 fps at 1440p. But with Freesync it was incredibly smooth. It blew my mind. I mean it was buttery smooth.
But then I decided I wanted more horsepower and bought a 980Ti and a Gsync 1440p/144hz monitor. Sure now I can play BF4 and around 100 ~ 120 fps but it sure...

Planning on finishing my build within a few weeks so not really an option. If a better option comes out I'll just sell my current card and but the "newer" option.
/g/'s opinion on PNY?
they're the hyundai of electronics
>>55386190
Does the job well but otherwise nothing special?
>>55386187
don't know about graphic cards
but i've used microSD and SDs from PNY and they deliver great performance at good price, so far none of them have given me problems, even i had one bent about 45 degrees (fucking macbooks and they readers that leave half of the card out) and still works

Hey /g/,
Just brought a nano USB flash drive to use as a keyfile store for my KeePass database.
Cheapest option per GB was 32GB. Since I'm barely using any that, what other shit should I keep on it?
Thought of a bootable Tails but I can't add FAT partition for the keyfile, allowing me to access from any system.
The contents of Hiren's Boot CD.
The read speed of those are quite shit.
>>55387486
For a >1024 byte keyfile, who cares.

how does /g/ feel about this?
We had this thread two days ago. It is just a thing for upgrading win 10 pro to enterprise with mass licenses or some shit. Wind 10 isnt becoming subbed.

Jesus Christ is anyone worse than Ed Bott
that guy is the biggest MS shill in the history of the universe
I'd be perfectly fine with it if MS cared to ever clean up Office Online. It runs like shit regardless of machine or browser and with a castrated feature set. While I'm okay using LO for personal stuff, work needs work files to...well, work.
Apart from that, whatever. I only use Windows for gaming and I only game because it keeps me connected with friends. As our interests change my connection to Windows will disappear. The business implications are their problem.
I was wondering if memory cas/timing matter anymore.
>>55385952
Yes, they matter. Don't buy meme ram.
The lower the better, DDR3 and DDR4 have higher timings compared to old DDR ram paired with the slower memory controllers in modern CPU like Haswell and Skylake it needs to be compensated by faster ram.
If you're buying a Skylake CPU get at least 2400mhz DDR4 ram. if you're on a Haswell CPU get at least 1866mhz CL 8 or 9.
There was a very in-deep chart that paired timings + speed and resulting speed made when Skylake was released but I haven't seen it posted in a long time and I don't have it.
>>55386032
Does ram frequency really make that much of a difference? Not OP but but I just got a couple of 3200mhz rated sticks but I absolutely can't get xmp to work so they're running at stock speeds.
Whats the best Windows 10 phone released so far?
>>55385949
There is no such thing as best Windows 10 phone, because no matter how good the phone is, it cannot be best with WP10 as it's OS.
>>55385978
A good Windows Phone is a dead Windows Phone.
Microsoft is still running that shit show? I though they would have given up by now
Youre at a party and this guy offers your gf the world's first 1ghz cpu. What do you do?
>>55385893
No one will ever need 1GHz
Windows 98 runs perfectly fine on 80Mhz
I pay my friends to stay away from him so his company becomes the laughingstock it is today
>>55385893
Take it. It's probably a collectable by now
Even though we fight alot, I just want you to know that I will always love you guys
No matter if you osx, bsd, linux or windows, I will always care
Fuck you if you're not using Linux.

This is probably a stupid question, but what is the best way to hook up my laptop to a separate monitor and keyboard so that I can use it like a desktop? I have a Thinkpad T430, but I want to use it with my 23" monitor and Microsoft SideWinder X4 USB Keyboard. I don't even need the Thinkpad to be open; I just want to use it purely for its internal hardware.
Find out if your laptop has a dock available.
If not, you're just going to have to get used to managing cables manually. At least you can throw all USB devices onto a hub first.
>>55385759
You will have to connect monitor with HDI cable and laptop will have to run, you cannot use just it's hardware
For keyboard i don't really know, maybe connect one and see
>>55385759
fuck this cunt
