2017-11-14 20:53:22 UTC  

with your i5|7-****U

2017-11-14 20:53:33 UTC  

>U

2017-11-14 20:53:38 UTC  

u stands for kys

2017-11-14 20:53:40 UTC  

not even a threadripper or a xeon in here

2017-11-14 20:53:52 UTC  

do you all just surf the web and play videogames?

2017-11-14 20:53:58 UTC  

y-yes

2017-11-14 20:53:58 UTC

My gaming machine has nice specs but this XiaoMi laptop I only use for like school, occasional hacking, and just like little projects and it's portability

tbh I bought that box for 130$ yesterday, second hand, and ubuntu is the only distro that booted in the first place. All others kernel panicked before any possible input

2017-11-14 20:55:19 UTC  

and I didn't investigate why yet

2017-11-14 20:57:10 UTC  

from what I saw the GPU might be defective

2017-11-14 20:57:26 UTC  

you need those non-free packages pal

2017-11-14 20:57:27 UTC  

(((Nvidia)))

2017-11-14 20:57:49 UTC  

novideo, you mean?

2017-11-14 20:57:53 UTC  

gotem

2017-11-14 20:57:55 UTC  

Oh yeah shit

2017-11-14 20:58:01 UTC  

could be possible since Ubuntu is the only distro that uses them by default

2017-11-14 20:58:01 UTC  

(((novideo)))

2017-11-14 20:58:09 UTC  

while others at least attempt to use the free ones

2017-11-14 20:58:34 UTC  

cards probably just obscure and shit like most quadros

2017-11-14 20:58:40 UTC  

and poulsbo

2017-11-14 20:58:45 UTC  

fuck poulsbo and powervr

2017-11-14 20:58:59 UTC  

not sure if it's worth it to put another card inside

2017-11-14 20:59:07 UTC  

look that up, I don't expect people to know the hell on earth that is poulsbo graphics

2017-11-14 20:59:17 UTC  

I paid 130 $ for that old workstation and I feel like spending hundreds for a decent GPU is an overkill

2017-11-14 20:59:20 UTC  

what would you do?

2017-11-14 20:59:25 UTC  

does the E3 mainstream chips have igpus?

2017-11-14 20:59:39 UTC  

yes but it doesn't even do Full HD

2017-11-14 21:00:05 UTC  

nope, it doesn't have an igp

2017-11-14 21:00:08 UTC  

lol

2017-11-14 21:00:13 UTC  

then it's the mainboard that has one

2017-11-14 21:00:34 UTC  

there's a GPU which takes up to 32 MB shared RAM on the board

2017-11-14 21:00:47 UTC  

is there? What board

2017-11-14 21:01:09 UTC  

Turn it into a server or buy a gt1030

2017-11-14 21:01:15 UTC  

this is sandy bridge so it's not that old

2017-11-14 21:01:30 UTC  

get like a 1050 or 1050ti and flip it as a cheap gaming pc

2017-11-14 21:01:43 UTC  

because that CPU is still quite capable
