I fucking hate Macs but when it comes to software development they are million times easier to work with than Windows. It hurts me to say this but if you can't stand using GNU/Linux then just get yourself a fagbook.
Xavier Morris
What is your use case? I have had better battery life and font rendering on linux than I do with windows 10, but I never have had to fuck with kms on windows or had settings change either. Seems like you are having an unusually bad experience with both operating systems

OSX and Linux sucks if you play games and actual buy any peripherals. Want to buy a scanner, printer, camera, mouse, keyboard, etc.., and want to use any of its advanced features? Gotta stick with windows, or look specifically for the OSX versions. You can probably get basic functionality with Linux, but that's about it.

When I installed linux in my laptop it took me 2 days to fully install and configure everything in order to get rid of the problems my hardware had with it. I installed many tools so it should take less depending on your use case. Thing is that those two days were worth every second. I like linux since it is makes my life easier once configured regarding coding, compiling and any other tech related stuff.

I'm betting the percentage of products that come with native linux drivers is below 10%. Everything else is generic drivers and generic software. There's no linux software for mice with programmable sensor profiles. I have scanners and all-in-ones where the copy and email buttons don't work. I have webcams where I can't set the colors/whitebalance and I can't control auto-focus. Basic functionality works for everything of course, but I actually want to use all the features of the things I buy.

user, you have no idea how any of this actually works, move along
Alexander Lopez
It is. Option1: Install windows 7, crack with 7loader, enable accessibility settings and free legit update for w10 Option 2: find someone who's part of Dreamspark (of whatever it's called now) and get one of his licences Option 3: get a licence basically anywhere (old laptop, office computer etc...) Option 4: call MS customer support and say you changed your mobo so your windows licence isn't valid anymore, get one free
This is how linux works... Seriously nobody check the code they compile.
Alexander Gomez
Totally fair. I suppose I get by on generic drivers most of the time without realizing
Landon Bennett
What? Looks better than Windows tbqh.
Leo James
Not that person, but I think that Windows's font rendering is a lot better than the one from Mac (to me it looks like MacOS renders all fonts in bold) or the one found in most Linux systems (which looks blurry).
Brayden White
>pirating software >not using free software

Adam Perez
>There's no linux software for mice with programmable sensor profiles There is software to do this. I don't really find multiple profiles that useful and just use the first one and set the dpi on that.

Teach me. My fonts don't render at all unless I pick sans-serif/serif in font setting of the browser.

Im not sure if it's because I have gtx 1080. Never happens on windows.
Windows 8 and later also has issue with process scheduling. If you dont have a very new computer, your sound and cursor can randomly freeze.

Cooper Perry
the major tech companies that dominate the field today are starting to rot from the inside out due to a lack of innovation and competition. all that remains is the slow consumption of the industry by marketing types and retards with MBAs who play golf at 1:30pm on tuesday. Expect more senseless dumbing down of software, expect less functionality, expect more paywalls, more advertising, more targeted marketing. Expect the end of American dominance in software in the next 20 years.
The real tragedy will come when someone implements an expert system for drag and drop components for "systems" programming and marketing teams are put in charge of products, engineers are removed, and everyone who doesn't suck the dick of the almighty dollar is gone.
I hope climate change kills most of us, especially california.

ubuntu fontconfig rules are cherrypicked from bohomil's repo
Blake Morris
midday is better because you don't get the sun in your eyes as much on courses that move in a circle.
Oliver Sanchez
this type of answer is why archlinux sucks
you need a few fontconfig rules to tell freetype what to do with the fonts you have
easiest would be to mkdir ~/.config/fontconfig/conf.{aval,d} and cp font.conf (s) to /conf.aval/ dir then symlink the ones you want to /conf.d/ , changes take effect immediatelly in general , you don't really need ~/.Xresourses rules - if you do your fonts are borked somewhere

Using any product from the fascist tech giants (Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet/Google, Intel, Facebook, HP, And Amazon) renders you a small financier of the corporatist hegemony, a contributing part of the globalist botnet, and disqualified from membership in the revolution as an agent of change.

How exactly would I get windows 10 on a USB drive? I would like to know because I built a pic but need windows 10 and don't have the cd thing
Jacob Williams
no it's not
it just jerks you off and wastes your time , in the end you still don't have an answer
in reality few people know fonts intimately enough to write their own .conf settings
and if you ask on the bbs. thread (not mine, just noticed it) gets locked with something like your comment
exactly why i said archlinux sucks and you confirmed it

Camden Butler
Since this is such a common topic that nobody seems to have any good answers for I'm going to write up some copypasta for how to get an infinality like font configuration without installing infinality fonts.
>ix.io/piT >its mostly good >any suggestions? Probably. There's a lot more in that config that I've ever used. I'm installing Arch in a VM atm and am about to write up a newfag copypasta on configuring fonts in arch. I'll try out your config and see if it looks better than what I was going to use.

Que?
It bugs me what kind of Win10 people on Sup Forums use. Clearly not the same as mine, since I dont have to do all this kind of shit.
It is really hard to believe that simple fact of running european version of Win10 would cause that difference.
And yet, for example, my settings were never reset yet, while Sup Forums claims that their Win10 does this all the time.
Benjamin Garcia
>terrible font rendering Windows suffers from this too, though. I can't use Windows when I'm expected to read a lot of shit.
>terrible graphical glitches on boot/desktop Depends on the hardware but yeah, linux will always suffer, unlike macOS and Windows, even with Wayland, from graphical problems such as tearing and artifacts for doing this that or the other thing in a specific way. In contrast Windows sometimes doesn't like to open the start menu.
Benjamin Jackson
Here's what I came up with for font rendering on Arch. This is what I've been doing since January when a harfbuzz update completely fucked the infinality bundle leaving a ton of people looking for a new way to get good font rendering. I just replicated this on a fresh Arch install in a virtual machine while writing it to make sure that I got it right and should work for everyone. Saved for future use for myself and for copypasta since it 's a common subject with rarely a cohesive answer and people have a hard time making sense of the wiki.
-Creating an Infinality-like font configuration for Arch-
From a clean slate on Arch we can now create a similar font configuration to the infinality-bundle's without having to use the patched packages. It is now possible to easily get great-looking results with the default interpreter.
1. Create the following symlinks to instruct freetype2 to use good-looking rendering defaults sudo ln -s /etc/fonts/conf.avail/11-lcdfilter-default.conf /etc/fonts/conf.d sudo ln -s /etc/fonts/conf.avail/10-sub-pixel-rgb.conf /etc/fonts/conf.d
2. Modify (or create) /etc/fonts/local.conf to contain these contents: pastebin.com/rnDtdzt5
3. At this point your fonts should look pretty good but we can do even better by making sure that we have all fonts on the system that were defined as substitutions earlier. To do this we need to install the packages fonts-meta-extended-lt and fonts-meta-base from the AUR which will build the rest of the fonts required.
After having done all this, restarting the X-server by logging out and back in should apply all changes.

1. those symlinks are auto created at install 2. (2/3) installing fontconfig [#####################################################] 100%
Fontconfig configuration is done via /etc/fonts/conf.avail and conf.d. Read /etc/fonts/conf.d/README for more information.
Configuration via /etc/fonts/local.conf is still possible, but is no longer recommended for options available in conf.avail.

Fontconfig has a default file at /etc/fonts/fonts.conf that it will fall back on if /etc/fonts/local.conf doesn't exist. So when you create local.conf it will look for it first and that's where the font config should go.
