Well I have bad news for you buddy, soon your car and your toaster and your oven and pretty much everything is going to be running linux and connected to the internet. Right now I'm working on making this the case for 100-ton construction vehicles, God help us all.

Not sure why anyone who isn't overfond of trains would be running the open source drivers instead of the proprietary ones, but then again that runs counter to the schtick of the thread.

So I know this thread is a send up of linux but I am actually planning on replacing the OS on my laptop with linux and on my desktop I will add a second drive to boot to linux for most of my day to day work. This is all because of the bullshit with the windows 10 upgrade trying to be forced down my throat.

Any suggestions as to what version of linux I should use? I was thinking of Ubuntu but am not sure it has good support for hiDPI monitors (mine is a 3k monitor).

Just imagine how much money you saved over buying one of those hideously expensive universal remote garage door openers that clips to your keychain.

Yeah, but then you can only open the door when you are in range. Make it a phone app and you can open and close your garage door from anywhere! True freedom at last.

When I was working on my redhat 64bit linux vm in the console. One of my coworkers went insane with rage when he saw me as root in my own VM. He told me I need to use his special bash he made and not be admin and just sudo everything. I think I hurt his feelings when I told him I didn't want to buy a raspberry pi. What the heck, what would I do with a raspberry pi?

I just found out today that our software engineers have been having a protracted battle with IT over the use of VMware and linux, meanwhile over in EE land we've been using it for a while and loving telling IT about anything until I need a new laptop.

I recall something about distros only including the open source ones by default and it being a pain to switch out for the proprietary ones, especially if the open source drivers are broken so hard that you can't even get to a GUI

A lot of the major distros don't include the proprietary drivers out of the box, but it's usually a matter of a couple of button clicks to get them.

Some distros just go ahead and bundle them with the initial install, too.

Looks like I have 53 games for Linux in my Steam library - just checked.

well it's officially over windows is now linux as well

Microsoft's open-source efforts are on the rise since the last few years, and the company has now announced a significant piece of news for the developer community. The company will be launching the popular Unix-shell, Bash, for Windows 10.

In partnership with Canonical, Microsoft has announced support for Bash on Windows 10, which would allow developers to access various Ubuntu binaries on Windows without switching to a Linux environment.

wrap it up

Why would you ever run Bash on windows when powershell exists.
For all those great binaries not available on windows like ...?

For what its worth I have the same card and nvidia supposedly has wowed the linux crowd with very recent drivers. One was even released today. Also it seemed to utilize my card effectively for the neural sense crap sticky thread at the top of GBS, with ubuntu.

My knowledge of linux is precisely zero and I was up and running in Ubuntu in no time, the transition was flawless from my point of view. The gui looks like windows and apple os had a baby. I'm not advocating this version of linux over any other, but I have noticed some linux people literally get annoyed when linux isnt hard to use :v: which ubuntu is not. I imagine it depends on what your "work" is.

I actually said out loud when it was installed "I cannot believe this is free"




on the flip side, just install windows 10 you are worrying about nothing at all

installing stuff with a package manager is very convenient, you don't even have to know what the software is called or research on Google, just type in the features you want.
