reasons why linux sucks #405:
>go to change mouse settings in control panel
>control panel opens in non-root; doesn't ask for or allow easy path to opening control panel app in root
>any changes I apply will be removed on restart
>no offered documentation on how to get around this
>i now have to go figure this shit out myself instead of just using the fucking laptop
if you think this is acceptable OS behavior in any way, kys.

Most issues with Linux distros are operator error
Best way to put Windows onto my Macbook Pro?
Should I duel boot or use a parallel desktop? And what's the easiest way to go about either? Just want it for gaming online with my buds since they're both building PCs and I'm too poor to afford two computers.
Specs: pic related
can't you just straight up install it? nigger that seems like the best way if not the only way

>>55217178

Alright /g/ w hats some cool random shit I can do with old phones? Pic related also have some old Samsung phones. I'm talking about stuff like repurposing screens, keyboards, batteries, whatever. Ive been looking for stuff like this to keep me busy.
try turning them into wireless input devices for a computer.

>External SSD drive, you won't use it to store your o.s
>Probably your media files. Can be stored on a 1TB external WD or Seagate for 60$
>Fuckin expensive they are, SSDs!
>650MBs theoretical speed, bottle necked by USB
>USB 3.0 = 5Gbs, actual speed well below 150MBs.
>Why would one even buy an EXTERNAL SSD?
Do you even know how to write a 4chan post? Also >>>/g/sqt
Its possible to run portable applications or even full games off it still, like if you want to take your desktop steam library with you on a trip or something, you can move your steam library to the external ssd and use it with a laptop wherever you go.

USB is gonna be the bottle neck, try running a fully installed distro on an external SSD. The moment you start multitasking, USB gives up.

>>55216806
interesting question, and not so far (30+ years coding and counting).
>>55216806

Nope. I'm not a superhero.

git commit messages are turing complete
You know everyone with a specialization in anything has this problem when others talk to them about said specialization. Farmers, chemists, cooks, whatever. Computer shit is just a little more abstract and way newer than any of them. What's the problem with just clarifying for a person what they were mistaken about? Especially in this screenshot, the Web dev guy is in a position as the expert. Only some hotheaded asshole would take a well worded correction badly.
>>55216727
Just tell them what git is for and source your shit faggot.
Have you ever destroyed an OS for fun? Just load one up in virtual machine or on a trashy old rig that's unused, and then see how much damage you can do through popups and obtrusive programming before the OS can barely function?
It's surprisingly more enjoyable than I thought it would be.
