When i first got into PCs, i was using windows, and an OSX macbook (i was forced to use it okay... don't ask). Then i delved a little into Android, and consequently Linux. At the moment, i've got an Ubuntu 15.04 (gnome 3.16) vm, and Windows 10 on both PC and macbook. Here's why: - Mouse profiles: I'm using a Logitech G502, and i've got a profile for a bunch of apps, and all my games. Each profile has different bindings for the mouse buttons, and usually different DPI settings. - Mouse acceleration. Maybe it's just me, but despite spending ages trying to fix this, gaming in linux always felt a little weird (due to the mouse) But also due to - drivers - Yes, every other device in a PC just works, linux is great with drivers. But GPU drivers? It's rather terrible, especially - Google Chrome - I'm heavily invested in the Google ecosystem, and chrome is part of that. But odd display issues occur a lot. Upon opening the window will flicker black. Resizing it causes the same flickering. At one point the top toolbar in the chrome window was black. - Microsoft Word - Libreoffice just doesn't seem to cut it. Maybe i should give it a chance - app compatibility - backup - okay this is me being a noob. Is there a good alternative similar to syncbackfree. Which is an awesome backup app for windows - Monitors - due to. reasons... I have to have one monitor connected (HDMI) to the integrated graphics, and the other two (DVI) to the GPU (AMX r9 280x). Although i haven't tried recently, previously it's been impossible to get the monitors setup. One of the dvi monitors is portrait, and whenever i try to set this, the middle display bugs out (odd corruption all over the screen is how i'd describe it. I want to switch to Linux, with windows in the background for games. But the fact is, unless i can fix all of the above, i can't But thank you for this post. I'm about to install ubuntu 15.10 in a dualboot, as we speak. I'll give it another go, and look for solutions. EDIT: Getting a black screen on my install (after installing fglrx-updates). We're off to a good start!

Sorry for the late reply CWM Tether didn't work, and it's only a 2 week trial.

I love how the model number starts with "i7" as if it's the name of the cpu, when the specs list an i5-6300. it looks like a decent laptop, but i can't speak about battery life, construction, display quality, sound quality, that sort of thing.

Yes Apparently my cinema releases schedules on the wednesday of each week, the day before the movie! I have be reloading that page every 10 seconds for an entire day. And the funny thing is. I will.

I'm reading some of the tech horror in http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/34813-experiences-with-non-techies Just. How...

okay right. Shows that i give no craps about 3d, and don't know how it works. but now you know This thread has really just turned into a "talk about whatever" now

Every time mentions the red or the green i cringe let's not go there.

Anything you can do i can do better? No really, if AMD do it, so will NVIDIA.

It requires dev support though. So we'll see.

When your friend goes. "I like my phone, it's got QHD so i know that it'll last a while"

Plugging in a wireless usb mouse and trolling someone is the best thing. they go to move the cursor down, and instead it moves up. Then they get this "whaaaat" look on their face. Then they fight the mouse, by rapidly moving the mouse up again and again on the mouse mat. it's the funniest thing, honestly..

Right, Halfway through the force awakens i'll punch one of my friends and explain exactly how HFR & 3D works. No not really, they'd kill me for that...

Lol wow

course. Well 24fps in each eye is 24fps at the source isn't it? this whole "in each eye" thing sounds like crap to me.

Wow so 3D really has no frame rate difference to a regular movie then. Because, despite this guy

Err Houston?

Lol the eyepatch, that's great

Yes mate you've cracked it. God cinema sucks lol. Except Star Wars. Except Phantom Menace. There are lots of exceptions

Also under "Coming Soon" at cinema HYPE

"Closer to what the eye can see" "48 frames per eye" This is from my local cinema, and from http://www.thehobbit.com/hfr3d/faq.html I mean, they're kind of right. But these are also massive misconceptions lol.

Update, issue is still Happening I've tried uninstalling virtualbox, which has a network driver, removing the ethernet cable and disabling that driver.

Aha we'll see. let's hope he does!

Thank you. I don't use Twitter, and had no way of doing so myself.

There was another part to my post, but i cleared that up and edited it out before you saw this thread. And i can't change the title. The issue as it stands now is a small one, you're right.

Who says that i haven't? It's far from a 'tinfoil hat" deal. We know that G2A is at least partly dodgy. I mean, how do they get the keys so cheap? Then there's G2A shield.
