My hobby is collecting and making computers but i have yet to mash together a nux box. right now the only two available mobo's I have are a republic of gamers thing and a wade mainbord with an i3, I suspect drivers will be a problem with both. Edit, And a nice laptop with a c2duo, i'd imagine that would be a good idea.

Driver isn't working? Here's the source code. Just build it yourself. Note: You'll need to have libxrcyz in order for IRQ33 to run. If you've got version 1.0.2.33 broadwell-u gpu you'll need to run xkurgan. If you have any questions just contact me on freenode.

Linux is pretty good if you want to idiot-proof a computer; my sister's boyfriend would fill her browsing laptop up with malware until I installed Ubuntu on it, now she won't go back For travel, I bought a cheap acer chromebook, replaced the SSD, installed Ubuntu, and put Windows in Virtualbox for whenever I need office or adobe or itunes. As a daily browsing/downloading/media machine, it's incredibly cost effective. And the fact I can run bash or python scripts from keyboard shortcuts or cron is

Office and a few games are the last bastions for needing windows. But I guess increased marketshare will tip the threshold for making malware for linux. Then we wont have nice things anymore

Now I'm on Sparky Linux (based on Debian testing) at work and Linux Mint at home. No, I don't game, I'm an adult. But alot of games on Steam actually work in Linux now...

For servers I love linux over windows. I prefer working with config files, over layers of windows, tabs, and check boxes (which are sometimes grayed out, then you have to figure out why it's grayed out).

Internet connected garage door openers are at least $85. $85 - $35 for pi - $10 for power adapter - a couple bucks for the relay and wires and poo poo equals $35, and I promise I'm not just trying to cover up the fact that I answered the wrong question.

I do actually have a gen 2 pi that's just collecting dust. I tried to put XBMC on it but it cannot handle HD content, or at least it can't handle my files. What are some cool projects for learning Linux?

I just installed Window XP on a VM for reasons today, it's the first time I'm used WinXP in probably five years, and the first time I've installed in probably 7. Feels good man.

ClamdestineBoyster posted:I wanna get a rig that actually has an entire Linux distro repository on it. That would be p cool. Because if it was UNIX you wouldn't have to put a drat thing on your physical box but it's cool that Linux tricks your computer into thinking its a server. explain please; I'm decently well versed in using linux but why would you not need to run programs on a UNIX box? would that all be done at a local server? I'm probably misinterpreting something obvious you said lol
