>>293 that seems to be common internet nomenclature

>>215 >The ideal desktop is one that says nothing about the user. Why's that?

>>287 Cute pic and nice DE

>>270 >Ubuntu I MEANT DEBIAN HOLY FUCK KILLING MYSELF

what's the least resource intensive distro that even a newfriend like me can use?

>>272 Lubuntu, or anything that uses LXQT Xubuntu, or XFCE based distros are light too

ubuntu 12.04 lts i think, i flashed it onto a dvd and installed it before i left to a new years party, when i returned i played with all the new stuff like rhythmbox last.fm scrobbling and libreoffice, i was amazed

>>48 Anon… if they recommended GENTOO as first distro, they were certainly your enemies my relationship with Gentoo is love and hate; the compiling time is simply overkill, but customizing everything through the package manager in the way I want gives a huge power that I can't find anywhere. And holy cow, you managed to do it even without any knowledge on linux! Congrats!! I started by Linux Mint, and literally I had my first linux™ problem in the INSTALLATION. It simply didn't wanted to install in EFI, and I didn't knew the difference of UEFI and Legacy Boot. It was a pain in the ass, had to mess a lot in the terminal and I almost gave up on linux, but I managed to solve it simply by switching to legacy boot. It was on a shitty Lenovo that I still have, but it's near to it's death- I don't know the exact order, and I distrohopped a lot . These are the linux distros that I used: Linux mint, Arch, Lunar, Ubuntu, Gentoo, Funtoo, Slackware, MX Linux, Pop_OS!, partyvanora, OpenSUSE, Gecko, Void, Venom and Nobara. Currently, I am using Debian Testing, because it just works; there is ton of guides, documentations and the .deb pkg is everywhere and easy to install.

>>300 Short answer: You don't

>>301 But where do I learn "teh 1337 skillz"??

>>300 two of my threads are in that image

>>304 Masterful thread creator?

one of my threads is in that image!

>I broke the pc by moving the cable inside the computer you sure that it's broken? anyway yeah just like poster number 36 said buy a USB adapter for hard drives and plug it to any working machine if you use windows it will appear as a disk F or something i don't know how alphabet works in microsoft but it should be easy and straightforward >>36

here are the ports needed but I don't know what it refers too which cables? and their names

>>154 On the right is SATA. On the left is Molex.

>>155 and what the other end of the cables must be? usb?

>>161 yup

Idk, I can barely find any good places to discuss anything anymore

>>240 >Where do you discuss programming online? textboard.org lainchan.org are pretty ok

>>240 Mostly lainchan and sleepychan /t/ for me. I think the alternative is joining some dicksword server, reddit, lobste.rs, or hackernews, but I'd rather swallow a whole load of salt water than do that.

>>240 LainChan is too humourless.

>>285 and slow

>>237 yeah that's why I find it intresting and want to know more about it

>>232 I don't know if you're the anon wanting to make a game, but RPG Maker uses Ruby as the scripting language

>>250 Only XP-VX Ace do newer versions use j*vascript

>>231 Clojure

>>278 I have recently delved deep into Haskell, because of my thesis, and it's so much more enjoyable than imperative languages When I have the time, I'll try to explore Scheme and create my own toy language

can you tell me what our OS need that other OS lack off. I heard games on linux run like shit, so we need something good like windows because it works well there

>>227 Its not the OS fault that games dont work, because developers need to spend time porting things to make sure it does Making an operating system is more of an artistic endeavour than anything else

we would call it 'the wire' like in experimental lain

Sorry anons, but the fact that you so severily underestimate what it takes to write an OS pretty much guarantees that you'll never make one. But I mean, go ahead, have fun >>156 >emacs but modern The fuck is that supposed to mean? What does "modern" mean to you, and what are the charactertics of emacs you want to have? An editor that looks "modern" is achievable through emacs configuration (see the NANO project on r/emacs), an editor that is recent, trendy and extensible in a programming language that is "modern" is vs code (it's based on packages like emacs), an editor that is keyboard controlled and "modern" in a way could be neovim. >fundamentally integrated into the OS This is a completely unrelated request to the previous one, but just as vague. EXWM allows you to use Emacs as a window manager, so instead of your TWM you run emacs directly and it manages all your windows. The Acme text editor is very well integrated with the underlying plan 9 operating system; for example, iirc you can type the name of a system command directly in the toolbar, the press it with the middle mouse button and it gets executed on the currently selected text.

I mean, It'd be cool but >>276 is also right. maybe we could make a simple command line OS to start like Osaka OS https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYImR-wrTV0 of course that in of itself is a long ordeal. but it'd probably be more achievable at the current state unelss we just want to take a pre-exissting operating system and mod it that could also be done?

Currently working on a mobile phone gacha game because money. (not some extreme capitalist, just need monetary support for my future projects)

>>2 Fire emblem style strategy game in zig, using SDL and opengles 2 I only started last week dont ask for screenshots

>>5 I wish I had seen this sooner I had no idea what to do so this helps a lot, thanks!

Been inspired by Cyberpunk 2077. Maybe some type of metroidvania + cyberpunk style

starting my first project probably gonna be some kind of minimal text editor, with simple save and search feature in python; nothing too interesting but I want to make something to learn to code with. >>274 much more creative idea than me, what software are you going to use?

>>114 Mine isn't loud and it's pretty reliable. Yeah they're heavy but I don't mind

I have a couple in storage that were going to be thrown out. I've missed out on higher quality ones. My mother threw out our big CRT TV against my wishes. If you want a monitor with the CRT aesthetic, there's the Checkmate monitors.

>>187 >My mother threw out our big CRT TV against my wishes. My dad did too Not too long ago, I saw one of our neighbors throw out their old CRT on their lawn so I took it

>>113 1. High refresh rate (smoooooth ) 2. 4:3 (and other smaller aspect ratios) paired with the low resolution and that soft glow = cozy 3. Nostalgia

>>103 I have a similar monitor plus an actual CRT for a 2 monitor setup
