The fact that a company this big can fuck up something this basic is concerning.




If it had the ability to read it from the stack too, in some way, it would have been fantastic, honestly. As is, this is pretty neat, but meh.

Talk with your dad and check out second hand computers in your area. I'm sure there are people selling computers with more life on them that can be used to play games and whatnot for cheaper prices than brand new.

Lately, I've been experiencing these playback errors on Firefox, no doubt because Google is trying to add ads back again, this time on the server side, so adblockers can't do anything. It is, however, annoying, mostly because there is no regulation on the ads. You can promote anything and Google won't bat an eye. At least on TV, the thing being is of some quality, it isn't straight up lying. It may be overly exaggerated, but not completely untrue. I'll try to switch to a Chromium based browser, probably Ungoogled Chromium, to see how it works there.

So far, so good. I've installed the Flatpak version of Ungoogled Chromium and it works pretty well. I was even able to import my Firefox bookmarks here, which is great! I also have Brave installed, as a Flatpak as well.

This is 3 weeks old, it seems they're turning back on this, but man, Microsoft is really forceful with Windows 11. I'm curious what you guys will do after Windows 10 ends:

1. Stick with Windows 10
2. Move to an enterprise version (they usually have longer lasting )
3. Move to Linux
4. Give up and go with Windows 11
5. Perhaps touch grass

Alright finally something that I can ask about

I'm planning to use linux (Mint) alongside my Windows installation for my computer needs. I want to learn Linux because I want to try and customise my desktop look and feel in a way it's unique and exactly as I want it.

The question is, How do I get used to Dual-booting?

Because of my college, I pretty much still need windows for many programmes that are not available on Linux and can't be attempted to run either. Perhaps I can set aside my personal and hobby stuff exclusive to my Linux installation and keep Windows only for serious stuff? Though I'm not sure how I can do this, I feel clueless on how to actually doing it.

average linux experience, get used to it

I have dualbooted for a long time and for most things I find them easier on linux. The mint installer should let you install alongside a windows installation fine. I know it did when I installed it a few years ago. Just make sure you read everything carefully and that is says its going to do what you want. If you format your windows partition you can't easily get it back. It is also a good idea to make a backup of your windows installation just in case you mess something up, but that would be quite hard with the mint installer. You can customize pretty much any distro how you want, so mint is a good a choice as any for that.

The arch wiki is a great resource for any distro and has a lot of information about most common things you would want to install. Just using Linux as your daily driver and using windows for things that absolutely require it is the best way to get used to it imo. Thats what I do now, and I barely ever boot into windows for things besides games that dont run on linux. I don't really ever boot into windows on my desktop and just play windows only games on my laptop (like valorant and league of legends). Lazer runs well on linux, as well as stable if you use the osu-wine script to set it up. I find stable to run better than on windows to be honest. The audio latency is night and day, and feels so much better.

If you want and your pc is compatible you can also setup a vm with gpu through if you need it for a windows program that needs acceleration, but it can be quite annoying especially if you only have one gpu (including no integrated graphics). If you have any questions I will try to answer also if you want.

When you install Linux Mint, if everything is setup correctly, you should be able the installer say "install Linux Mint alongside Windows". The setup is very simple: make the bootable USB drive you have for Linux Mint be same the partition scheme as the Windows install. Boot the USB drive as the same partition scheme as the Windows install and everything should be good.

To check the partition scheme on Windows, open the Command Prompt as an and then type

diskpart

after that, type

list disk

you shall something similar to this


You could also look online for how to check for the partition scheme on Windows and check if it is GPT or MBR. After that, doing your USB flash drive shouldn't be an issue.

Thanks for such detailed answer. I do have a dumb question about VM. Does having a discrete GPU cards matter? I'm having none, only relying on intergrated graphic on my AMD Ryzen 5 U with only 12 GB of RAM to spare. How do I set up Window VM inside Linux for smooth and snappy performance?

It doesn't matter, but it will make it harder to have smooth and snappy video performance. It can help to through your GPU to the VM. Problem is that it is rather difficult, from what I've seen. Even with my system, I had issues doing a GPU through and having smooth video, and frankly, I believe a beginner in Linux should dual boot for a bit.

Thanks for the answer too. I already have mint dual-booted on my single ssd. I only give it like 60GB. Should be enough (I think) for me to play around and learn stuff. But now I'm in dilemma where:

• Leaving stuff as is, switch boot between personal stuff (Mint) and college stuff (Windows). It can be a hassle to do this
• Or taking a risk of getting Linux natively, get rid of Windows and run it on VM. All for much better way to use my computer and incetive for me to REALLY learn Linux

I use my laptop to do 3d render. I'm afraid I will have serious trouble running it on a VM that way too, or any unforeseen consequences and problems for that matter..

I sadly don't see any good solution for you. I think just sticking with a dual boot and using Linux wherever you can is the best way to do it. Attempt to do most things you do day-to-day on Linux. That's the best way to learn it.

They update every 6 months to a major release. To my knowledge, they are pretty stable. Also, rolling releases are as stable as you make them to be, really. You aren't forced to update every single time there is an update.

I decided against the BBCode rant because it ultimately boils down to Markdown having a more readable, easier to write syntax than BBCode. I can't really comment much more than that. I do wish these forums used Discourse instead of what I assume is something custom made by peppy and co.

So it was oxidation, but Intel are pussies (or more likely try to cover up something) to say that.

Very interesting how they're delaying this one due to quality. Extremely interesting, considering what is happening with their rival. I think one review slipped, but it was only for gaming performance and it wasn't that big of an improvement over their flagship X3D chip, if I correctly. I doubt they can squeeze more performance out of the Us now, but it will be interesting to see.

Yeah I know it's not the best and I won't buy it for a few months but parts are expensive in my neck of the woods but it still destroys my current system.

if its allowed then its the dumbest idea possible, I'll make a thread where no one has interest on and will keep posting on it so it'll always be on top

maybe it could be argued that your hypothetical thread might've been allowed on the basis of equally as substantively on-topic as winny's additions would be. attempting to edit a singular post would probably not be intuitive for new developments, and patatitta would probably not have many options either if it weren't for that review thread being comparably more active

so any issues with rule inconsistency would probably prioritize something more akin to distinguishing between on-topic substance and purposeless spam

less notably, winny's posts also consist of sincere replies to others' comments

Okay and?

Cool thread.

If the GMTs find it destructive in some way, lock this thread, but I will tell you that the moment this gets locked, y'all, and mostly you, will go through hell and back.

I know for a fact that some of you saw that last message and I still stand by it, but I don't want to silenced because some of y'all are mentally disabled. I will speak with the GMTs about this and if they find it shit or whatever, I'm done with OT. Y'all can go back to your shitposting.

Motherboard s that U with a BIOS update. Might be good to pick another one that doesn't have that issue. PartPicker tells you about compatibility on the list itself.

Alongside that, an ARC GPU is interesting. They got better from launch, that's for sure, but depending on what you play, they might not provide the best experience. Something like a 6500XT or a 6600XT would be better, but it seems that they're in another price range, so I guess that can work.

i saw, and i have some sympathy for the offense taken with it-- i think this thread is entirely fine, i'm not sure what poly's doing with that critique but i'd hope/speculate that it could be more an extension of poly's distaste for the gmt mixed with a callously-exaggerated disinterest in this thread...

...it sounds like there's a certain kind of collective exasperation with the state of off-topic going on, and i worry that without charitable communication some people will just alienate each other here as attitudes continue to diverge in different directions about how to participate in ot

as for iavs, i think they're just being frustrating for some reason. my general impression is that they think the quality of off-topic (and its s) is generally a dumpster fire with particular glimpses of gold or something. there's this cold distant antagonistic tone to most of their replies that really doesn't help to create anything constructive, and there's supposedly some sort of "antagonist"/"antihero" arc going on there with "no regrets" and "i dont care" that doesn't really make any sense to me

i primarily want to suspend my impressions of these people for now until i understand people better, but it sounds to me that tensions between maybe 25%-40% of off-topic are moderately high. not necessarily emotionally/universally, but there is some conflict

idk, i hope people leave you alone to do your thing with tech, it's something you actually enjoy and it'd be neat if you were afforded some freedom to share your thoughts on what you find

y'all should take this outside, or maybe avoid escalating with each other lmao
poly in particular, because from my angle, you sort of ignited this one by insisting on nitpicking the thread and aggravating winny

your jokes are our jokes until they aren't funny to most of everyone in the room, or something

i doubt winny cares about projecting a punisher persona, i don't care about projecting an "erm actually" persona, we both are probably just being genuine about what we care about. being dismissive and sarcastic hardly does you any favors if you're genuinely confused about why someone would be taking issue with your posts

cool how I never attacked the thread idea whatsoever, but thats the perception I guess.

also for winny, threatening people online with a bad time is the most impotent helpless shit you can do lol (in a serious note, please find a professional to manage your anger issues)

The concept of the thread calls for [double-posting and triple-posting].

Also it's allowed in OT.

it wasnt when I got here
if [double-posting and triple-posting, on the basis of a thread's idea giving it freedom to exist] is allowed then its the dumbest idea possible, I'll make a thread where no one has interest on and will keep posting on it so it'll always be on top

...only now do i realize i would've likely misinterpreted that... i had the impression you were saying the thread idea was the dumbest idea possible, and that "i'll make a thread where no one has interest" was an implied shade at winny

at least. if i'm taking you at your word, then i would concede that my frame of perspective was pretty skewed, it's difficult to read into what people are saying. that ission doesn't really change that it must look baffling for people to misread you entirely

not trying to mess with you ;-; in any case i hope that resolves and clarifies something, though i guess that still leaves the double-posting/triple-posting observation

i still don't really read that very charitably when it would seem like such a trivial thing to point out (maybe it's just a general observation unrelated to the thread, where pointing winny out specifically was instrumental in some sense to questioning that ability to post consecutively), there would've been a few possible interpretations of that you might not have cared to project into the conversation at all

I meant that, if that rule is dead, it can be easily exploited. its not related to this thread... at all.
I tried starting a new branch of discussion, because talking online is (or at least was) a fun experience.

that's much clearer, ty ^^ having fun online and starting conversations is a fair sentiment, though something like this is probably an unfortunate choice of words/timing

hopefully winny will be fine, hopefully other people will be reasonable

The GMTs can lock the thread. I am done with OT for the foreseeable future.

EDIT: I have sent Blushing a few DMs and I've sent a report form too to the "government". I will see the replies I get and then choose how to proceed.

I am frankly unsure what to do, though. I don't understand why I can't be let to just do my thing in my own thread.
