If you think it's great now, just wait until you start using software that's actually good
>>46802932
I'd install Linux if I didn't play dem vidya gaems.
>>46803002
Buy a PS2.
>>46803011

Rice a useless piece of shit called bspwm
Finally begin doing real work
Realize how unproductive you are
Install fedora with KDE
on working
>>46803204
>fedora with KDE
M'lady *tips redhat*
>>46803204
this is actually exactly how it goes for most people. i went from a fully-riced gentoo build to osx after i realized i could get all the unix stuff i actually care about, along with a DE that isn't completely broken.
linux is cool but it's so easy to get lost ricing everything that im rarely productive when i boot it up these days

How you got the tab strings centered. Mind share that firefox css part?
>>46803365
That's Arch Leenux for ya.
>>46803368.tab-text {

I know it's in testing repos but it's been too long
>>46803339
>no options
OSS and jack provide better mixing and less latency
>can't understand the hate on bash
It's slower, more bloated, and less secure than ksh, which is 99.9-100% bash compatible, or will be until GNU decides to use their hegemony to fuck over non-GPL competently developed software some more. Use ksh. Or at least use zsh for the superior interactive experience.
Linux guideline #1: the most popular software actually is worse, including the kernel

>>46803032
Nah, not into console gayming. Besides maybe sports games.
I honestly like the idea of having Linux, but it just seems unnecessary for me. I might buy a cheap laptop and try it though.
>>46803448
>Nah, not into console gayming
You shouldn't be into gayming at all
>>46803277
>>46803396
Could I have a look at your entire CSS?
>>46803462
Why not m8?
>>46802972
How would I upgrade?
Im a beginner

If you're on 4chan I guess you're not underage and it's time to move on and find more mature hobbies.
windows 8.1 tablet.
I'm just wondering why my localhost I7 don't get that much compile tasks in queue
>>46803558
this made me nostalgia pretty hard. care to post some info on your setup?
mornin, uncle /g/
>>46803558
can't challenge the classics
>>46803764
get that transparency outta here
colors are hard
>>46803396
Thank you.
>>46803277
Did you ever read my reply from a few days ago?
>>46803448
why not just install it in a virtual machine?
>>46803999
which?
>>46804009
The one about #lovefort.
>>46803448
It's not like folks have released any games that are more fun to play than those created for PS2. At this point it's all graphics and no substance. Get into console gaming and spend the $1300 you would have spent on a gayming rig on a Thinkpad, a buttload of PS2 games, and a few figures of your waifu or something.
>>46804007
The idea is to run a decent OS as a host and have Windows in a VM to run the programs WINE doesn't cover.
>>46803556
>4chan
>More mature hobbies
I'm 23, admittedly I don't play them as much as I used to, but they're a nice way to waste time when I feel like playing.
I kinda need this wallpaper.
>>46804043
I've spent $1100 on my gayming PC, and I still had enough money for my nendoroid waifus anon.
I know there's Steam for Linux, I'm just too lazy to wipe my SSD and I'm afraid I won't like it or be able to handle it. I heard there's nothing worse than diving head first into Linux.

DE/WM? More specifically how do I get a taskbar like that?
>>46804122
>>46804082
He uses i3, I use dwm. Mess with configs.
>>46804061
I love your firefox; can I see the css?
>>46804151
>i3
>dwm
I already tried i3 but I didn't like it, going to try dwm.
>>46804110
Just install a distribution guaranteed not to break like Debian and move onto something not awful. The CLI isn't that hard to use, you've just been the victim of corporate indoctrination.
>>46803999
What file manager? And how to rice? I've always had trouble figuring out how to rice Thunar.
>>46803277
This would actually look really good and sophisticated as heck,
But those god damn 4px or 6px borders around each window/box is disgusting.
>>46804061
can you share your first homepage?
>>46804241
looks like nautilus. which is a nice looking one. or it could be thunar with gtk mixed up. it's fun to edit numix theme. which is what a lot of ricers do.
