@Kaytee and those have linux drivers?

2017-07-16 19:18:58 UTC  

have everything there

2017-07-16 19:19:26 UTC  

@Phatique linux hardware support on any remotely common desktop or server hardware hasn't been a real issue for like a decade lol

2017-07-16 19:19:53 UTC  

yeah sure its not a problem if you want to sit and semi-code on the fucking terminal for 2 hours

2017-07-16 19:19:57 UTC  

wacom is a weird exception but that barely even works on windows and osx so doesnt matter

2017-07-16 19:20:10 UTC  

@Phatique nah linux desktop is nicer and easier than windows these days

2017-07-16 19:20:25 UTC  

t. linux user

2017-07-16 19:20:38 UTC  

like "i taught an 80 year old man who'd never used a computer before to use it" easy

2017-07-16 19:21:33 UTC  

linux is better for a facebook and email machine

2017-07-16 19:21:40 UTC  

installed linux and plugged in my usb headset, it refused to work, literally the linux experience.

2017-07-16 19:21:41 UTC

2017-07-16 19:22:01 UTC  

literally two things windows is better at: cad/cam and aaa gaming

2017-07-16 19:22:13 UTC  

even for gaming if you're into indie gaming linux is mostly fine

2017-07-16 19:22:46 UTC  

had ubuntu installed, plugged in my phone trough usb

2017-07-16 19:22:52 UTC  

"no drivers for this phone"

2017-07-16 19:22:55 UTC  

cad/cam i make do but it's the only thing outside aaa games i've found to be a huge pain in the ass outside windows

2017-07-16 19:23:01 UTC  

cant access my files on the phone

2017-07-16 19:23:05 UTC  

linux experience

2017-07-16 19:23:13 UTC  

when you installed did you check the box for closed source drivers

2017-07-16 19:23:26 UTC  

googled everything

2017-07-16 19:23:51 UTC  

found forum posts with the same problem

2017-07-16 19:23:58 UTC  

everytime i had a linux problem

2017-07-16 19:24:05 UTC  

dozens of forums posts with people with the same problem

2017-07-16 19:25:03 UTC  

and i dont have the patience for coding in the terminal for hours for something simple to work so i said fuckit and deleted it from my drive

2017-07-16 19:25:15 UTC  

well yeah, and when i was trying to get my wacom tablet working on *nix i found that too, and they were all like "yeah nah this person's maintaining open source drivers for that, nothing really ships with them but just grab em off this github and youre good"

2017-07-16 19:25:40 UTC  

usually they even throw a one line copy/pasteable command at you too

2017-07-16 19:26:49 UTC  

anyway i stand by that, cheap pc with ubanto or i guess win10 if you swing that way > android tv box

2017-07-16 19:27:22 UTC  

anything android that isnt a phone is a meme

2017-07-16 19:27:32 UTC  

and tablets too i guess

2017-07-16 19:27:43 UTC  

if the gpu was a bit more well supported i'd even say a fkn raspberry pi or orange pi

2017-07-16 19:28:09 UTC  

but those need you to use a special video player to actually get watchable framerate on 720p videos let alone higher

2017-07-16 19:28:27 UTC  

bc youtube and vlc and all don't support their gpu

2017-07-16 19:29:04 UTC  

someone needs to start making amd apu sbcs

2017-07-16 19:29:09 UTC  

thatd fkn rule

2017-07-16 19:31:36 UTC  

I watch 1080p 60fps with no problems

2017-07-16 19:32:19 UTC  

you are maybe talking about those random chink android boxes from no name chink companies

2017-07-16 19:32:27 UTC  

but xiaomi makes quality products

2017-07-16 19:32:39 UTC  

has supprot for HDR and can even manage 4K

2017-07-16 19:33:53 UTC  

yeah saw that

2017-07-16 19:34:14 UTC  

i don't even go futher than 1080p so that's more than decent

2017-07-16 20:50:31 UTC  

Reeee I need a robot vacuum cleaner that can clean carpet and hard floors
