IF i change, which distrubution should i take.Is it easy to use it? Can i set the system in a one night?I hate microsoft 11.
>>107658343Can you get a new-to-you computer that's at least moderately Linux-compatible and distrohop on that?You should probably try two or three distributions at minimum and you'll probably need to, well, fuck around and find out which one you like the most, or pisses you off the leastt. upgraded from Windows 10 to Debian (not recommended for beginners), bought a new Windows machine that runs 11, runs Macs as his primary machines
just use ubuntu, or kubuntu (gnome is better btw) and be sure to use snaps whenever possible
>>107661369Immutable distros limit you to flatpaks which still have annoying access issues.I find myself uninstalling the flatpak and installing the system version regularly, even though it's older.There's also appimages, but you can't use those for everything.I wouldn't recommend immutable to people who want things to just work.
>>107658343>IF i change, which distrubution should i take.mint, ubuntu, or fedora. mint is the go to for newbies these days>Is it easy to use it? there will be a bit of a learning curve but not as much as if you had chosen another distro. these distros mostly work out of the box with lots of easy to naigate guis>Can i set the system in a one night?yes, but if it's your first time it may take a bit for you set everything to your liking>I hate microsoft 11.no shit, windows 11 is parody level
>>107658563>>107662172As much as I like Mint, it's datedness shows when I can't install common shit like gamescope without using PPA or building it in a container.

I'm officially washing my hands of the Wikimedia Foundation (aka Wokemedia Foundation) and Wikipedia. I've already been banned for years for doing protest vandalism but I won't even try to edit anymore as its not worth the effort as admins are always lurking recent changes to revert shit. Wikipedia has been taken over by mentally ill admins and a clique of "extended confirmed" users who anonymously label prominent figures as Nazis with paraphrased "reliable sources" (with a shitlist of sources they don't like) and push constant woke "facts" in the did you know section of the main page. They even broke the online safety act (and their own terms of use) a few days ago by showing a flashing image on the main page.I looked at the financial reports and Wikimedia has scammed people out of almost $1 billion dollars over 25 years, when they only need a million a year to host mostly static pages from cache and minimal javascript like search suggestions.Wikipedia needs to be investigated and admins forced to explain themselves. People are literally getting hurt because of Wikipedia. Jimmy Wales is the ultimate loser of the internet.

>>107661767What does equity and inclusion mean? I get that its a meme that needs a name on paper, but what is it really?
>>107661796It means they pay grifter NGOs for "consultancy" and in return they get good goy certificates

>>107659342Using AI with an understanding of programming may perform better than without.
>>107659342you will probably not be able to monetize your knowledgebut you will be less thrown by LLM output if you ask it to write programs for youthat will be usefulit's nice to look at code and be able to tell "no, that's not what I wanted you to make"but this is "maybe take a class or two"; don't go for a CS degree
>>107660995i made a roblox game and managed to get into the top 1000. i get maybe $30k a year from it if i'm lucky.
>>107659394>From a purely job related point of view, it depends on if AI gets better at programming or not and nobody can predict this 100%Programming has been through this before. First it was "proper" programming languages and libraries. Who needs so many programmers? Just use a library that's already been written!Then we had the whole WYSIWYG GUI editor craze. Who needs to program websites when you can just drag and drop all the elements using a GUI. Webpages made simple! Now it's AI. What's the chance that it's going to actually replace programmers and won't instead be a tool that programmers use? Provided it actually works in the first place.

Why are G3 so scarce in UK?
Is there any good Thinkpads that are less than 500$ with 32gb of ram? Looking to get one for college/personal use.

>>107661823>What makes a good language?What makes a language great? Danes!Seriously, Stroustrup, Hejlsberg, Naur...
as cool as luajit might be, the language is horrible. it uses the shitty if/then/aids syntax, and array indexing starts at 1. i would never use it personally.
>>107659294>>107661823A good language requires an IQ so high to use it that idiots can't, even with help.
>>107658714R
let me guess. you need more

>>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.
>tfw autistic about “performance” but too low iq to get gud at writing C
>>107659315So the Ceets are being replaced by Rustroons. What else is new?
>>107659315C was the beginning of the enshittification of programming. All of the languages on that chart below C++ used to be more popular than C in the past, but C replaced them.

What? Are you telling me the technology board on 4chin uses Discord and not XMPP?
use case for either?
I was working on a XMPP client earlier this year and then I remembered that I don't talk to anyone, so I stopped working on it
>>107660142kek
I was working on a Matrix client but then I remembered that the service was created by a jewish telecommunications corporation so I stopped working on it
Now 1000 gets you 10 year old specs and a shitty os.
hard to tell for sure but i think it's just money that is becoming worthless, not items going up in value
I give 4th gen i7s to my kids' friends for free so they can join our Minecraft server. I get the parts for $1.29/lb at my local Goodwill outlet.>>107660659This.
>>107660405The XP shitbox I was using in 2005 was my family's Dell from 2001 which had 128MB of RAM. 512 would have been a massive improvement for me lmao. I'm not a PC gamer, I'm a console pirate. GPU was mostly irrelevant to me.
>>107660544does it run crysis? :^)
>>107660286I had something like that from dell and it cost a whopping $2000 at the time and it didnt have a dedicated gpu

Worked on my second track todayAlso I have an idea, not an album idea, but what about: combining the top two voted themes?
i couldn't write a melody to save my life

>>107661480not with the libre kernel tranime retard
should i use xlibre or wayland on my laptop?
>>107653632 Xlibre only exists because they ejected enrico, which they didn't have to do, despite the claims that he is just mucking things up, they could have just had in work on a "future/dev" branch to protect the master, and decide if any of the work was worth merging, but instead they let enrico basically do whatever he wanted , and then claim that somehow he is at fault for them accepting those patches and breaking the master which shouldn't be considered stable anyway. They don't like enrico, they don't want the xserver to gain any new features, that is why xlibre exists , it is the only way anything new will be added to the xserver. and they have added new features to the xserver. so I don't see how xlibre is the same as the freedesktop xserver project.
