Thread, I have a confession. I paid $200 on NewEgg for a pos amd machine for windows gaming I may not put linux on it for one, maybe two weeks, at which point it'll probably get centos 7 and turned into an openstack compute server is this bad enough to turn in my linux superiority badge and complimentary ubuntu linux case stickers or do I get a reprive for now

cadenza posted:thanks for the reply friend What you have described might point to a driver issue under linux. There has been some new technology coming out and it may need time for the kernels to catch up, particularly those that get included in boot discs. You may be able to blacklist usb 3 drivers on the boot command line and force the use of usb 2. This can make the install take longer but at least it will work. I still think you should try to look at the kernel logs when you see the decompression issue. IO errors don't usually get caught by programs and they usually manifest later as unusual behavior (in this case, decompression error). The more information we have, the easier it will be to eliminate useless solutions and diagnostic tests. If you prefer to run tests under windows, try to read a large file from your FAT-formatted drive (on the order of multiple gigabytes), see if you can use an application like Microsoft fciv to verify its sha1 or md5 sum. Ubuntu desktop install isos or fedora live isos are good choices since the checksums are all online. Be sure to copy it there with a different computer and copy it back with your laptop. Try booting your install disc without UEFI, see if that helps.

It'll be good enough to play overwatch on minimal settings. I have an ssd I can throw in it. At some point, it'll get a discrete graphics card and, if needed, a power supply upgrade (and a new case if I have to). I used to build my own sick nasty rigs back when discrete graphics was the only solution, simm memory came in whopping 1 mb sticks and computers regularly came with parallel ports, up until maybe sometime in 200X. Now that I can't split my drat power bill with anyone, I'm not really looking to get a huge rig with a kilowatt power supply. ![]() ratbert90 posted:Using Cent == Good what's my new rank and will smythe hang out with me

My 420W eating 980Ti would like to have a word, but yeah, unless you go into overclocks, staying below 300W is normal these days.

Notorious b.s.d. posted:that'll make a very nice space heater this new box has a singular hard requirement, which it should accomplish very nicely if it can run steam OS, even better I considered computers at twice the price with much more expandability but they would still fall short of doom minimum system requirements without replacing nearly every component besides the ram and motherboard, unless the motherboard didn't have the right expansion slots. So if I wanted to play doom, I'd probably be better off building my own computer, except I now have to explicitly pay the microsoft tax. So, I guess I am not playing doom for a couple of years, unless it comes out on Linux. I'm not touching console versions since they don't support keyboard and mouse.

Apparently, PXE boot on CentOS 7 and RHEL 7 is useful enough to generate (and solve) tickets on redhat bugzilla and there are a bunch of tutorials online. Apparently, you can run syslinux as your bootloader which will then pull your kernel and initrd via tftp and use an install method that gets listed on the kernel command line. Somehow this is a lot easier than I remembered it to be.

galahan posted:My case cost more than your computer, Linux compatibility doesn't figure into it. Nigh everything available for the pc, particularly if it's popular, is just about guaranteed to work on Linux now or within the next release of your favored distribution. An interesting exception off the top of my head are print/scan/fax drivers for some all-in-one printers like Brother. I just need a cheap windows computer for now. What I got, plus a discrete graphics card, will be enough. Budget is gonna be saved for the ps4 neo and the vr headset.

I came into possession of a Sparc II Ultra 60 (had a friend that wanted to toss it) and I just got serial console working on it via another pc connected to the serial port. Graphics still doesn't work but hopefully it just takes time. I need to wipe the hard drives and maybe compile and run quake for shits and giggles. Assuming that I have no access to official Sun physical media, what should I install on it? NetBSD? Open Solaris? If I do Linux, which distribution will probably give me the least number of headaches and actually have SDL development libraries? Countdown until someone mentions hurd

if Linus weren't incompetent Nvidia wouldn't have any problems supporting Linux, because it would have a stable binary driver interface using non-GPL header files but Linus doesn't really understand operating systems or kernels, he just sort of Kramered into managing one
