Found your problem.
touché
your turn
Tfw I'm on Linux and can write to and read from any type of external drive I please.
I dual booted windows 7 and crunchbang once and did this to my main harddrive and cried when i went back on windows
Steam game streaming doesn't work on Linux
Chrome remote desktop is retarded on Linux
Not sure if os-related, but
Tomcat stops functioning if I deploy too many times
(because it had made the drive unreadable for windows)
That sweet sweet ntfs-3g amirite

That's why I recommend everyone to install it in every thread
>Steam game streaming doesn't work on Linux
fuck, I had been looking forward to doing that some day
one of the things that keeps me from going full linux on my desktop is how complicated netflix is to set up on there
>sound systems are retarded, conflicting and inconvenient
This mostly
Specifically other people can't watch your stream. Steam link and gave streaming works just fine.
Also, Netflix works just fine on chrome

Netflix isn't that complicated to set up. You can just install Pipelight, then use Firefox. Or you can do it the other simple way, and just use Chrome.
Windows file system management is dog shit. That's about it
i tried that, but when i finally got it to work, it played everything at 2x speed
it's probably just my fault though

*windows as in the operating system
iTunes has always been a mess because its codebase is over 15 years old at this point, and originally it wasn't Apple's code and didn't even run on OS X. It was an OS 9 music player by Cassady & Greene called SoundJam MP that Apple bought and put a new skin on to make iTunes. Since then it's had feature after feature piled on and can't even use native OS X APIs fully because it has to run on Windows too. It seriously needs to be taken out behind the shed and shot.
As for the drive issue, you can thank Microsoft. NTFS is proprietary and Microsoft refuses to license it.
Overwatch is Blizz going full Activision and cutting corners to squeeze out every penny.
I streamed a game from my windows desktop to my linux laptop and it seemed to work fine aside from controller issues
Oddly enoiugh I got that problem with W10, I installed it just to fuck around with it and for some reason in Windows 10 when I would turn the computer off under shutdown on the start menu it would say it was shutting down but it would hibernate instead even though hibernation was off. It would somehow fuck up the hard drives and make them unreadable until you hibernated back on. Don't know if it was a driver issue or Windows intentional.
The way Microsoft used to be, wouldn't surprise me if it was intentional as a form of retention.
Easier to list things I like about my main OS. Which is games and AHK.
I'd main Linux is it wasn't those two.
Did you remember to do --create-mozilla-plugins when you installed pipelight, and enabled silverlight?
wow, i had no idea about those first two points
thank you!

i literally don't know whats up.
Linux 3: twitter not working as expected.
openmw is pretty cool right now and is getting better with every release, no serious mods tho, and fucked up ai in some places.

yes i use the X server.
If you mean windows OS - every pc i have is running ubuntu at the moment.
>Windows 7 + Cygwin + LiteStep
from Asidethemoccosional typical and agiwindandagihardware I'm fine.
Use Dolphin.
It's gotten much better in the past couple of years. Give it another go and see if it works better for you this time around

Thanks for reading my blog.
>ancient BSD/GNU utilities and sometimes awkward terminal emulator
First is true due to GPL issues but is fixable with Homebrew/Tigerbrew/MacPorts/Fink/etc. Interesting perspective on the terminal though, how did you find it awkward? I always found Linux terminals more awkward due to not being able to use system standard cut/copy/paste shortcuts and not automatically wrapping long lines.
Yeah, Homebrew remedies a lot of that stuff for me for sure.
The terminal thing is a lot of autism I guess, it feels just barely different enough from the standard *nix "experience" that I'm used to, things like the menus and settings not being within the windows themselves, and the default behavior of not closing after you've ended your session, which makes sense, but still kind of messes with that "flow" I tend to get on other platforms.
A lot of it is just default behavior that is generally easy to deal with on your own system I guess, but it makes using university fleet boxes a little discomforting.

Oh, yeah, I remember that setting now.
>>taskbar is too fat
Even with small icons turned on? Never found it supremely huge with that active.
I mentioned problems with arch, read my post.
>Even with small icons turned on?
Oh yes, without that it gets comedically huge but even with, it's just too big. Get's even worse when you put it to the side. I don't get why MS doesn't offer the option to shrink it further.
>Performance degradation over time
that only happened with xp and older
>not mentioning the memory usage
I can open up 7 tabs in Chrome and use less memory than 32 bit version of Windows 10 with nothing but the task manager opened up on the desktop.
