Welcome to /fglt/. We are always open to users of all levels, including absolute beginners.
There are four ways to try GNU/Linux, you can:
0) Install a GNU/Linux OS on a VM (Virtual Machine/VirtualBox) for "safety purposes"
1) Use the Live ISO directly without installing anything, that way, you can get a "full GNU/Linux experience".
2) Dual-boot GNU/Linux with Windows/Mac (recommended if you want to learn more about GNU/Linux)
3) Go balls deep and overwrite everything with GNU/Linux
Before asking, please search for answers to your questions in resources.
Please be civil, notice the "Friendly" in every Friendly GNU/Linux Thread.
Understand that much of your software from Windows will be unavailable, although maybe WINE can make up for it.

Do you touch-type?
Do you feel it's an important skill for coders and other profesionals who type often?
What are your experiences/stories on this subject?
Pic semi-related: my current keyboard.
>>54872592
Touch typing is not important. I type fine with three fingers. It's all about how experienced you are with your style.
>>54872639
Didn't imply you can't type fast as hell, but maybe touch-typing makes it more likely and/or easier to achieve?
Touchtyping fast as hell since I was 11.

What do /g/ feel about a new world order without ports?

Imitation is the best form of flattery. It seems that every big company thinks it's an innovation.

In most real-world programming tasks, probability theory proves as worthless as it is pointless. Linear algebra has essentially no connection with real programming in the real world, unless you need to solve systems of simultaneous equations, and in most cases there are a lot simpler ways of getting to a solution that works in the real world than solving sets of simultaneous linear equations. The Monte Carlo method is one example (and you don't need to know probability to implement Monte Carlo, you only need a decent psuedorandom number algorithm) and there are many more.
Arrogance has always been the besetting sin of programmers. Unfortunately, unlike engineers who build bridges or physicists who build rockets, a programmer whose design fails can always just blame the machine -- "bad compiler," "not enough memory," and so on.
YOU DON'T NEED MATH AND FUCK CALCULUS
Poc related is what happens when "programmers" learn useless things like math and algorithms analysis instead of useful things like how to design programs
>interesting post not about os-bait and gpu-bait
>sage
I'm pretty sure linear algebra is mostly taught to be a gateway for abstract algebra and ultimately category theory, which can be useful for programming. A lot of useful functional programming constructs (like monads, which are fucking everywhere now) are derived from structures in abstract algebra and category theory, and it's everywhere in PL theory.

That phone number thing isn't so bad. It means people are less likely to enter invalid input, and it's not like the developer had to type out all those options by hand - it would be trivial to generate them with a script.
What's /g/'s opinion on the Swedish Royal institute of technology https://www.kth.se/en
PS It's Swedish equivalent of college
ae fan palla tenta in på cs jonte!!
>>54872914
Jo jag är inte på cs just nu och kör ranked

Doubt anyone here knows or cares. But it's worth aiming for I suppose if you have great grades. No reason one wouldn't.

here is mine.
I got an iPhone that was left behind at a bar and never claimed and it is locked a the activation screen. Is there any legit way to get around or remove this? There's a bunch of sites offering it for cash but I have no idea if its even possible before paying.
Give it back, Jamal
Rashonda, please.
Give it back, Tyrell
GPU died the other day.
Game tabbed out, colour started to die, I reset, and was greeted with tons of static/artifacting.
I don't have a spare PC to test the GPU, but I've tried different pcie slots, monitors, uninstalling drivers, cleaning everything, nothing changes.
Should I just accept it's death and move on?
Perfect opportunity to grow up and stop gaming
>>54872380
RIP GPU.
>>54872391
I can't. It's a worse habit than smoking.
>>54872398
1070 here I come!
Dude is offering to sell 5 of these for $100. Anyone have any idea what sort of processors are in these things? They're supposed to be old servers
mite b cool for a project
Not worth that
Hardware won't be that great for anything.
You could do miles better for 150 on some newer but still used parts.
>>54872411

how much would you pay for a gif?
>>54872358
>Vox
nope
>>54872358
About as much I pay for .torrent
>>54872358
>saying .gif wrong
nope
I havent coded anything worth while (just small websites and stupid tiny programs) for 3 years. My course is getting over soon so i need some good marketable projects for my resume. Any ideas for this idiot?

All applel memes aside, would a keyboard from the G4 era be a decent budget gaming keyboard? My family had the flat panel G4 but I don't remember anything about the keyboard in particular. They go for around $15 on eBay if you shop around a bit.
>>54872330
Apple has the worst peripherals of any company ever. They are without question the shittiest keyboards I've ever used.
>>54872472
Fuck you. ALPS switches are GOAT.
I guess as long as it's mechanical i'll be a significant improvement over a modern silicon one. Since it's cheap as fuck i'd say buy it.
Can sombody who is more techsavvy than me please explain what the difference is between DirectX and Vulkan? So if I understand correctly they compete with each other, right? How are they different? What are the pros and cons?
>>54872306
DirectX is proprietary and hates your freedom.
Vulcan is free as in freedom.
DirectX is established and widely used. Vulcan is newer and cross platform.
>>54872306
google it, there is more than one site explaining it in detail
What cool stuff can I do with gpedit.msc?
Enable bitlocker when you don't have a TPM module.
>>54872284
There's nothing "cool" that can be done with it.
>>54873200
Actually you can disable the lock screen in Windows 8.1 and that's pretty "cool".
Hey /g/, I need some help.
A friend of mine lent me a Samsung S3 to retrieve some repair parts, but then I also remembered his old cell phone could be a gold mine of fap material from his ex girlfriend.
Problem is the cellphone doesn't turn on, and I was wondering if you could help me do a backup of its memory.
I will post the pictures on /s/ if I succeed.
give it fucking back,jamal.
>>54872227
Well first you'll have to turn it on.
>>54872270
Isn't there a way to power the motherboard and acces the memory without turning it on? Like a memory stick.
