I've only ever used Windows. At my wits end with Microsoft.Tell me why I shouldn't just move to Linux. Yes, shouldn't - what are the legitimate drawbacks for someone with no experience with Linux.
>>107662639There are only two reasons:1 - you rely on software such as the adobe environment to work2 - you really, really like games that have kernel level anti-chat (aka spyware) and are absolutely unwilling to stop playing them
>>107662659I don't use my PC for work, although access to Microsoft office would be helpful for administrative shit in my life. I can live with using that on a separate cheaper laptop though.I don't play many multilayer games, does it apply much to single player? Also, any impact on older titles (dos games for example)?

So here's my problem. My stepdad won't let me use the wifi at his house because he's paranoid about me torenting or getting a virus. Is it possible for me to get my own Internet router with its own wifi and Ethernet connections? My room has a coaxial wall outlet.
>>107662289Depends if the house has different wiring for different ISPs.In my area there are basically only two ISP and they don't share cables. If I'm with ISP1 then they use their cable. If I'm with ISP2 then they use theirs. My house was wired like this.Call other ISPs and asks them if it's possible to get a 2nd internet connection and tell them what ISP your dad is on.Also, your dad is a dick.
>>107662316I thought all routers used coaxial cables?
>>107662731Fiber, Coax and some old houses still use DSL.Again, first find out if your house is wired to have two internet. If it's not then you're shit out of luck. If it is then go call different ISPs and ask if they share the same line as the same ISP your stepdad uses. It sucks that you don't have access to internet, which in some countries are a basic human right.What country are you in? Maybe it's just better to just move out. It's a big decision but if I was living in a house like that I would have left the moment i turned 18.

Is windows 10 better than windows 11? Can I do all the same things?
>>107662349I would call Windows 10 better in a lot of ways and Windows 11 better in very few ways. The 1 major way Windows 11 is better has nothing to do with an improvement it made but is simply the fact that 10 is ending support now, meaning new viruses and shit won't get security updates anymore, you're more vulnerable if you're downloading risky shit or interacting with people online. Outside of that I would prefer 10 every time, not that 10 is great but 11 took away a lot of options and added lots of annoyances.

What are good free games to benchmark and livetest your builds?Not just demos like 3dmark something playable. Hopefully lightweight (not disk space hogs) and has RTX and DLSS options.

I broke down and decided to buy a basic Midjourney subscription after years of staying local. The very first attempt generating images using the Moodboard is promising, but holy shit this is the absolutely worst interface I've ever used on a commercial website like this.

>>107658793Even this is too much after using a lighter mouse.The deathadder is a good mouse but I just could not go back to it because it feels so heavy.And the wire is annoying.
>>107658793It's insane the difference a lightweight mouse and proper low-friction pad makes.Unfortunately, every mouse I tried had loud clicks that could wake the dead.Settled on the 59g ROG Strix which has swappable switches, but I haven't bothered yet.The left click is still louder that I would like.One downside I didn't see coming was my performance in Overwatch immediately went up to such an extent that it became unplayable after a few matches.After spectating the first meth chugger, I just sat back in my chair and laughed.
>>107661986>And the wire is annoying.I almost got wireless, but a $15 mouse bungee ended up working well enough.
>>10766207415 for the mouse itself plus 15 for the bungee is already the price of a wireless mouse.

are you supposed to double-check everything AI says?
if you were doing test driven development it wouldnt matter
>>107662699>people talking forever about how AI hallucinates>UUUUUUUUUUH DO I HAVE TO CHECK WHAT IT SAYS????
I've been using VSCodium, but I worry about the indirect dependency on MS and that some tracking/telemetry or AI integration will eventually sneak in.Code::Blocks looks abandoned, Codelite is nice, but it uses virtual folders, which I hate.I need syntax highlighting and code completion, and KDevelop seems like it fits the bill.There's also Geany, but I've had trouble getting it to work as easily as KDevelop.
>>107659341No. It crashes. It's good if you are writing a KDE app.You should not rely on a IDE anyway, just use a build system like cmake or meson. Visual studio on Windows, VS Code, Clion or CodeBlock on Linux.

returning to my unit in the new year and attempting to keep a modicum of overt fury to turn towards useful projects solving typical long-standing problems that still somehow escape multinational corporations like L3 and GD and Lockheed and shit (problems that escape them bescause they simply don't care despite there having been solutions for fifty fucking years)

>>107656407Nah, he is speed with low IQ. Total moron but his autism makes him sometimes look smart. The reason why he is so successful is because we live in kakistocracy where being complete fucking retard rewards you more then being smart, so long as you are lucky retard who manages to fail upwards and convince fellow retards to help you rise. Crypto gags are one of them because investing into virtual coins that are harder to process then regular banking back in 2010 was fucking retarded and yet everyone who did that became Uber rich as more retards invested in it.
Swearing vengeance upon those who create even minor inconveniences, as we share a trade and entire sector of industry that is support for other industries; we exist as a series of transporters and first responders, and anything that cannot eat a rocket and survive, or at least be immediately repairable, that deserves the first rocket.
i'm also a defacto secretary and part of my job is forwarding nato-formatted messages to the people who need to read them, and it's just an accepted part of the job that they come in mangled and it's a pain in the ass to clean them up. weird line break placement because of maximum string length, lack of line breaks because of cr vs crlf type shit, that sort of thing. not that the average operator seems to care about or even understand that, but either way, it's a pain in the asson one ship I was working on, as ISA, they happened to like having those messages also saved onto the shared drive (because apparently outlook isn't enough) but happened to enjoy having them as plaintextI wrote a powershell script to just rename the files like they wanted done manually. it wouldn't touch the contents, I still did that by hand because honestly there were too many stupid edge cases to deal with that checking a script's work would be equal to doing it myself in the first place. but it would at least draw the necessary info to rename the files properly and make a very basic attempt at formatting the (plaintext, human-readable) header properly.Every senior who saw it told me to stop doing that kind of thing. I got multiple bad performance reviews across several parachuted-in(figurative) bosses for working on it. The script's failure state was "give up and retain the original name", it didn't touch the actual text within, and everything came in through outlook (or radio teletype) anyway and thus had a reasonable local very immediate backup.Even if a future boss says it's ok, even if the forces as a whole adopts a new platform that just does that itself, I will fucking die mad about it ever not having been ok.
