Linux is not built off of unix
Well...Linux is a Unix clone, according to Wikipedia. They're related.

OS X/macOS is based upon UNIX, not LINUX. Linux is also based upon Unix.

Probably, depends upon the game/application of course

You just need to upgrade your graphics card, your CPU is perfectly fine.

if you want something really easy go with batch, i have a load of fun with it and its super easy when you learn to accept its limitations, otherwise go with C or Java
Batch is a horrible language to start with. You don't learn how to properly format your code, you don't learn object-oriented programming, and the knowledge you get from learning batch is not easily applicable to other programming languages.
I started with Python, you can't go wrong with it. Javascript is another solid choice as well, since it's huge for web development.

If I were to use iClarified's website to restore my iPhone to iOS 4, will the phone still remember all the info for my iPhone like serial number and such?
Nope that stuff will stay, but I wouldn't recommend downgrading to iOS 4 because it is a very old OS and it's gonna be very insecure

So I'm just strting out with Python, I created a small converter a week or two ago, but now I am trying to use Tkinter to transform the converter by using a UI. I am just starting out and trying to get my head around buttons, but sometimes the b in b.pack or b in b = Button(master... Comes up as a syntax error.
Please help, just doing this as a hobby really
We can't help you if you don't post the code. Use code tags.

I would go for an Athlon X4 and a discrete GPU

Hello!
Learn Python the Hard Way is wanting me to install Python 2 NOT Python 3. I was wondering if this is still a reliable source. I have heard that Python 2 is going obsolete and if I should learn from a different source?
Thanks,
Jerahmy
If you want a book that teaches Python 3, Think Python is a great option. If not, the only major difference between Python 2 and Python 3 is in their print statements.

I will keep this in mind if/when I am able to financially support myself.
Thanks for the reply!
For learning python I would suggest Learn Python the Hard Way or Think Python. I've tried learn C the hard way, and it is very well done. It truly teaches you how to program, not just syntax (which is really what Codecademy does). I've also read a significant amount of Think Python and it is an excellent book as well.

This goal is extremely ambitious, and that's awesome, but it's not feasible (in the way you described) as others have said in this thread. If you want to fully realize this dream of yours, you should get a college degree in game development, not computer science. Then, you could work at game studios and built up experience. Eventually you could start your own game studio and create your game. This isn't impossible to do, but you can't do it by yourself.

What is the best way to learn python coding? I need a video series or website that is able to give a really long, good, stupid proof explanation of how to learn python coding. I just want to get interested in coding. I get kind of tired sometimes when i code a lot but see no product at all. So if you know any great sites or videos i can see where i can learn and apply python coding, that would be awesome!
codecademy.com
Learn Python the Hard Way
TheNewBoston's Python tutorial on youtube
3 great options. See what works for you, everyone learns differently

I disagree. Generally if you find money on the ground you have no idea who dropped it. There is also no way to find out. Even worse, if you start asking people if they dropped money they will lie and say yes. He knows who sent him the wrong size drive.
It's not a perfect analogy, but I think you understand what I'm trying to say. If not, my bad.

Try out Linux Mint. It doesn't take much time to install any Linux distro (as far as I know) so if you don't like it you can try something else.

I wanted to start to learn code and was wondering a couple of things, firstly , which language I should start to learn and secondly, what the best way to do that is
Any help is greatly appreciated
I would recommend Python. The language forces you to format your code properly. You can learn the basics of it at codecademy.com

Thanks!
You could also use elif (else if) statements to shorten it. Just so you know, you don't need parentheses in python around your if statement conditionals.
check = input("Put in the letter: ")word = "word" if check == word[0]: print(check)elif check == word[1]: print(check)elif check == word[2]: print(check)elif check == word[3]: print(check)else: print("_")
That code is a bit better, but you could go one step further and use boolean operators (and, or, not) to make it even more concise
check = input("Put in the letter: ")word = "word" if check == word[0] or check == word[1] or check == word[2] or check == word[3]: print(check)else: print("_")

I am curious if the core will work on other notebooks. Once it is confirmed it does or doesn't I will be happy. If it does work with other notebooks one could get a desktop cpu in a laptop and use this thing for a desktop replace without needing a high end gaming laptop that cost a ton.
It will (supposedly) be able to work with other laptops. It's up to the manufacturer of said laptop to implement it tho.

I would get a different power supply, and I would get an R9 380 over a GTX 960

You sir, have no idea what you're talking about
720p is notably blurrier on ANY screen. The difference is easily noticeable even by people such as me who don't give a rat's ass about it.
The 850/950/860/960 M cards are ALL the same 750 Ti with 640 CUDA cores, 16 RoPs and etc. The difference is clockspeed and VRAM type. While GDDR3 results in slower GPU performance it does NOT slow down gaming IN THE SLIGHTEST. It just results in 20% or so lower framerates but there is NO stutter or lag.
In reference to my 27" monitor at 720p(I said it looked OK. Not great. Not fantastic. It was acceptable for playing games, although it obviously wasn't the best.)
I'm using a 15.6" laptop with a 768p screen right now, and I'm perfectly fine with the resolution. I would like a 1080p screen for sharper text, but for games it's not a problem.
Yes, I can tell the difference between 1080p and 720p at the same screen size. I said nothing contrary to that fact. HOWEVER, on a 15" screen, one can play games at 720p and have an enjoyable gaming experience (or I can, at least).
In my laptop, I have a GPU with GDDR3 memory. It straight up doesn't work at 1080p. There's tons of stuttering and it just sucks. My friend had a GPU with a similar Kepler core paired with GDDR5 memory and it was WAY BETTER in games. Also, in my honest opinion, a 20% performance difference is a lot.
There's no need to tell me that I have no idea what I'm talking about, and attack me for something that I straight up didn't say. I'm just trying to help the OP in making a wise purchase. I apologize if I was ambiguous in what I said in my first post in this thread.

If the display doesen't run at native resolution, doesn't it look horrible?
Depends upon the size of the display. On a laptop, don't worry about it. I have a 1080p 27 inch display that I ran off of my laptop (it ran games at 720p) and it looked OK. On a laptop 720p is fine for games. Also, the X60M GPU is WAY faster than the X50M GPU on Nvidia's lineup, because the X60M and above have GDDR5 while most X50M chips have GDDR3.
GDDR3 sucks, it slows down gaming significantly, and I would never recomend it if you can get away with it.
