They effectively do the same thing. Check for something and abort current operation if a condition is not met. Whenever that is done via aborting the process, killing thread, unwinding stack or whatever else is configurable doesn't really change the point of that function.

Why are ""people"" (gamers) still so anti-VA? Modern VA panels have absurdly fast response times on par with IPS (faster actually except for black to black). On the plus side you get the blackest blacks, whitest whites and no backglow messing up everything.

I understand OLED is superior to both and TN is the competitive choice but it's weird seeing how many people still tell each other to steer clear of VA when your average $200 VA panel is almost certainly better than a $200 IPS one.

Some of the more recent IPS displays I've gotten have somehow made the glow much less noticeable. It's still there, but not as obvious as the distractingly uneven glow I got on a display from around 2015.

I'm going through a junk laptop I found. The main I found it was mostly used in 2005 and some times in 2010 before being dumped where I found it on sale.

I've been looking through the files and logs seeing that it has only been used for the internet explorer and email. The logs for internet explorer are completely wiped, but the cookies still remain where it seems to be part of some advertising network. Everything that wasn't email or some sort of advertising was wiped. But there are some broken folders. Shockingly there is absolutely no data for 2011 when I found logs saying it had been used by that point.

The weirder thing is most things on the surface are wiped outside a photo of a family and a document for plane tickets for the original user and some girl. I searched up the names on the plane tickets and found a girl, who must have been the daughter in the photo, now being employed at a child abuse prevention organization.

Trying to restore any files with Linux isn't doing much at all. System restore is broken as well, even though there are many things listed as restore points. But my question is what the fuck was the original user doing to intensively nuke their folders, and everything past 2010, while keeping some random ass shit intact?

>Should I change to Linux?
It depends. If you're a lifelong Windows user, it's going to take some getting used to, and you're going to notice the difference. Not every program is going to just run after clicking on the .exe like it does on windows. If you use specific professional software like Photoshop or AutoCAD or FL studio, be aware that these don't run natively on linux and it takes some tinkering and workarounds to get them to work. It's not impossible to run these, but it's one a one click install sort of thing either.
If you don't use those specific programs, Linux is basically just as easy if not easier than Windows by this point. Gaming is just a matter of installing Steam and launching your games through the Proton launcher.
>>
>>107658343
Start with the mainstream ones like Ubuntu or Fedora. Use Ubuntu for the widest range of support or Fedora for the most updates. Use the KDE desktop environment if you want something that's like Windows 7 or the Xfce desktop environment if you want something like Windows XP. Once you know what you like or dislike about Ubuntu or Fedora you can then search for more specialized distros that fix the stuff you dislike. Also explore customization options and once you get really comfortable with Linux you can try Arch if that's your thing.
