Don't you just hate when you wind up in a store with people who are in a socioeconomic class that is pretty obviously about two levels lower than your own?
as of this evening I have an Intel Edison (Arduino kit) on my desk next to my MacBook Pro, so I guess I have Linux on my desktop now

looks like I'm going to have Mathematica on it at least

if you're clicking on icons you're linuxing wrong anyway, the terminal is the only good linux ui and the thing that sets it apart from just being like windows but worse

the funniest thing is that he originally left linux for osx over printer issues. osx uses the exact same print daemon/drivers as linux -- cups. apple ended up buying the company: "easy software products."


cups is the easiest print daemon ever.
which still makes it worse than a trip to the dmv.

what's wrong with pulseaudio aside from ubuntu loving up deployment 8 years ago and it being poettering-ware which automatically causes certain spergs to have a breakdown?

sound muted at like 30% volume unless you edit config files, doesn't seem to be working great with chrome flash, volume sliders in apps (music player etc) affecting system volume instead of app volume (also fixed by config file).

also the lack of perceptual linearity, at least when using headphones.

0% is off
10% is ok
20% is loud
30% is loving loud
80% is pretty much just as ear shattering

they do know we use dB to measure sound volume for a reason, right? did they gently caress something up and use dBdB or some poo poo?

pushing everything to use a global system volume instead of having two levels of mixing is a decent idea i suppose, at least if apps bothered to do their own normalization (lol) but it doesn't really play well with loving YouTube's HTML5 player setting the volume to 80% (ear shattering) every single time it starts playing a video.

i think PulseAudio is one of those unfortunate programs that's actually written pretty well but assumes all the other programs that interact with it aren't written by complete fuckwits

futurewife's little brother can really use a computer

i happen to have a old dell: pentium 4? but can run a 64-bit OS, that is perfectly fine hardware-wise but cannot run any supported version of windows since win7+ drivers do not exist for its hardware, runs kubuntu 14.04 x64 very well though

i can either do nothing and not help at all, or i can give away a linux desktop computer that works very well for everything but netflix (afaik) and windows-only games
