Hello satan.
Some fag from the windows 7 thread this moring that said you can't take a screenshot in windows.
There was another thread on here, but it was for laptops. Post em.

Why does NetBSD's pkgsrc developer documentation kinda suck? I'm talking about this:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jsonn/pkgsrc/trunk/doc/pkgsrc.txt
When I was a new pkgsrc user, I found it overly verbose for just trying to jump in and understand how to begin writing my own pkgs or modifying existing ones to suit my needs. Some common stuff was either undocumented, or embedded in a random paragraph within it.
I barfed some of my random thoughts into a text file as I was learning and working with pkgsrc if anyone's interested. Though it's missing a bunch of other stuff that I was too lazy to write down at the time I encountered issues.
I'll paste it in the next reply since it's too long for this post.
>>54962764
2/2
These were my raw thoughts at the time. Too lazy to clean it up.

pkgsrc complaints
- `make show-depends' is a pretty useful command, but isn't documented anywhere in pkgsrc.txt.
- It shows runtime dependencies by default, so I would've never assumed `make show-depends BUILD_DEPENDS', for example, would've been used to show build deps.
- I also wouldn't have guessed to run `make help topic=show-depends' because I would've thought showing runtime and buildtime deps would've been different commands.
- I don't like how `make makepatchsum' is only mentioned once in pkgsrc.txt, in some random paragraph. It's a useful, time-saving command that people new to working with pkgsrc should know about from the get-go.
- If you run `make show-depends BUILD_DEPENDS', the command runs as expected, and shows output as expected. But afterwards, Make complains BUILD_DEPENDS is an invalid command. This can be be confusing if one is working with a broken/WiP pkg that doesn't have its dependencies correctly defined and prints nothing when `bmake show-depends [DEP_TYPE]' is ran, because it just looks like a straight-up error.
## Makefiles
- *Having* to specify SUBST_STAGE feels redundant in the Substitition Framework. In the vast majority of use-cases, substition is probably done right after post-extraction, so if it's ommitted, it should be implied. Right now, if it's ommitted, substition doesn't work at all.
- The Makefile example isn't really clear about how to specify dependencies? What is this "buildlink" thing? And how come it only documents BUILD_DEPENDS, for what I presume is for build-time dependencies? Wouldn't most people want to know about *runtime* deps the vast majority of the time?
>>54962785
With this said, I love pkgsrc, and it's been very useful for me. Thank you for all the hard work pkgsrc folks!
Hey /g/, got a question for you. I'm looking into getting some new cooling setups going for my desktop. I haven't had any 'true' overheating issues, but when I'm playing games for extended periods of time my temps get into the high 70s, and my fans are loud as all holy shit. There's a few points on my case to put in additional fans (I can dredge up the exact case if you need me to), but I was wondering whether that's the better option, or if I need to look into some kind of liquid cooling?
Air cooling can still be really good provided you do it correctly. If your case allows it, make sure you have an exhaust fan on the top. Hot air rises and whatnot.
>>54962478
You don't need a top exhaust fan. As long as you have one in the rear, that should be enough.
>>54962478
I remember reading somewhere that convection becomes irrelevant as soon as there is some fan-induced airflow in the system. Not sure if that's true or not.
>>54962441
Clean your heatsink and CPU heatspreader, reapply thermal paste, get some high static pressure fans for the cooler (Noctua NF-F fans are great) and you should be good. Also connect them to 4-pin headers for lower idle noise.
Why aren't you using LibreOffice as your office suite?

Isn't OpenOffice dead?
>>54962042
I used to quite like OpenOffice but with Office 365 only costing £20 a year I picked up 3 years worth and it gives me 5TB (1tb for 5 accounts) of onedrive storage and 60 mins of skype a month which is handy for my gf to call her parents in peru. plus no document compatibility issues.
shame as openoffice was pretty based for a while

Prepare yourselves, barneyfag is on his way.
and it is fucking fast! I thought Firefox with e10s was quick but Chrome is close to fucking instant at loading pages. I guess it does some kind of aggressive pre-loading or something? Anyway I am torn now between using the botnet browser for speed of firefox for extensions and less botnet.
What browser do you use /g/ ?
>>54961974
Opera on Windows
Chromium on Linux
there is no particular reason why
>>54961974
/g/ uses the non-botnet browser.
Also
>freshly installed copy of a browser is faster than one that has been installed for years and lots of add-ons and custom themes
>wow
>>54962758
actually I tested it against a clean profile with firefox 47. both browsers with just ublock origin as the extension.

I'm moving from Windows 10 to Arch Linux. What should I expect, /g/?
misery
A disaster.
>>54961828
if you don't have experience with the GNU operating system, you should try something more newbie friendly, not Arch.
try solus, zorin, or even manjaro.

Do DEs affect battery life?
>>54961755
CPU usage affects battery life.
Some DE's spend more resources than other, so yes.
if your DE is the biggest drain, then you aren't doing anything important on your computer and should just use a tablet instead
>>54961768
Does the amount of RAM affect battery life?
