How nice of Windows to spam me with notifications when I temporarily fill my scratch disk, despite turning them off…

      Imagine being an adult professional that uses windows programs for their job… I have several Linux machines that are workhorses in my pipeline, but using windows is just not something a lot of people can avoid.

        I’m one of those that just can’t avoid using windows at work. At least at work they come with a very useful adition, windows sysadmins. They already learned that giving Linux apecialists admin rights. (It gets harder and harder to deny any Windows knowledge)

        Haven’t used windows at home since 3.11.

          Portable and pretty budget, a G29 + arduino with a large LCD to show live dashboard data, head tracking with OpenTrack + PS3 Eye webcam (extremely versatile camera, pretty handy for machine vision with its 120FPS support. Only downside is 640x480 max res, and the 4x array mics only work on Linux)

          Only outlier is stick shift running via the Arduino for a few reasons, mainly to reduce wires and setup/packing time (need my desk for other things too, sadly can’t afford a permanent rig), and also to avoid mapping the gears in new games. I just switch between usb emulation of a known device, or sending keypresses 1-6, R

        There’s been a solution of, provided two usable graphics processors, running Linux and virtualizing Windows underneath it with the gaming GPU for only a 5-8% loss.

          Way to complex. And also way too much work to have it break the next update. As much as I love Linux (hell, I’ve been using Linux on and off since 2004, when I was 14 and got my first hand me down Laptop…) and as much as I admire the progress…it still isn’t there, especially with peripherals. Getting a DD to work on Linux is a nightmare.
