    open the driver manager and install the latest driver you can, then just reboot

    Nettly_ got a reaction from Sauron in What Distro would you recommend for me?   
    Pop!_OS for anything really
    Ubuntu if you just need a computer with Linux and you do not care about software (in terms of fully working up to date)
    Debian if you hate yourself
    Arch if you are a person who likes to brag
    An LFS system if you want to brag more than Arch users
    Solus is good for anything
    FINALLY: Zorin for a more Windows feel

    C# is basically the code that 99.99% of all EXE files use (from my knowledge anyways, I am not really a Windows user)

    More properly: Run Kali in a VM, not directly on hardware! It's primarily a set of tools, and not a useful OS!

    Nettly_ got a reaction from RockyRZ in iMore's reply to Linus on why macs are slower than PCs   
    As an Apple hater, I can still say the fact Linus saying "Macs are slower than PC's" is actually dumb.... Depends on more than 3 fucking factors.... in PC's there are MILLIONS of possibilities on it being slower than Mac... or even faster.... Linus pissed me off by saying that because yeah the data from the Mac helps.... but I have seen worse data on Windows and sometimes (but rarely) on Linux too. I can make a video "Mac is slower than Linux, here is why" or "Linux is slower than Mac, here is why" and both are correct but also wrong at the same time. "Windows is slower than Mac here's why" is another thing I can do. The simple fact is there are defects, issues people have while others don't. Contrary to popular belief computers are not predictable. They can fuck up for no reason but that doesn't mean the hardware or device is bad, you might have gotten unlucky with a broken OS, a broken CPU, GPU, whatever, RAM too. There is no one situation and honestly... no one buys macs for the speed, they do it for looks and flexing.

    Also no I do not own a mac, but I use several at school. How my school affords it? No clue.

    Nettly_ got a reaction from tatte in How to run a custom OS for the Xbox 360   
    Well, hate to break it to ya.... I have been trying for MONTHS... on three different 360's... and got it to work once.... Free60 is okay, and it works.... sometimes.... but it is lengthy and painful and did not even work for me. However, not all is lost just yet. This is the way that worked once and it is semi-dangerous. Imma still tell you (even though it worked by fluke, still pretty cool to learn )(also do not yell at me for capitalizing Hard Drive it is for reasons) I also will be doing 3 ways, hard way first, then the easiest also an oddly easy sounding one that almost never works for me.
     
    HARD WAY:
    Step 1. Take apart the 360 you have and locate the Hard Drive (this is the 3rd most painful step as some of the screws are exact fits and you prolly won't have the tools to do so buuut if you do the rest should be more or less simple.
    Step 2. Take out the Hard drive
    Step 3. Make sure you have Linux ready on a PC
    Step 4 (why this is dangerous). Put the Xbox 360 Hard Drive with the other Hard Drive in your PC
    Step 5 (prolly the most painful). Boot from the 360's OS, but do not erase anything (this is to make sure it works)
    Step 5 explained. This is the most painful as trying to get this to work is a pain the buttocks. The reason being most PC's would not like that, but possibly by pure luck or fluke you could get this to work.
    Step 6. Remove your other Hard Drive
    Step 7. Use your Linux/BSD/Other OS flash drive or external storage that has been flashed (with a USB flasher like Belena Etcher)
    Step 8. Install your Distro to the Hard Drive
    Step 9. If step 8 worked, then just put the Hard Drive into the Xbox360
     
    Easy (but oddly hard to work around way due to hardware)
    Step 1. Do step 1/2 in the hard way
    Step 2. Have the EXACT SAME type of Hard Drive as the 360 but make sure it is wiped clean (not the one in your 360 (so you can still use it if you f*** up)
    Step 3. Take out old hard-drive
    Step 4. Put in new one (the blank one (MAKE SURE THERE IS NO OS PRE-INSTALLED)
    Step 5. Boot, if:
    a. An error pops up, you are good (this is when you WANT any error (means the hardware prolly sees the Hard Drive and boots, I never ran into a problem with the errors
    b. Nothing pops up, prolly mean bad news (Xbox no likey the new Hard Drive and refuses to boot)
    Explanation: F*** if I know why errors are better in this situation. Look out for some errors as they can be a pain in the ass to work around (but most are fine) (if it says No bootdrive or bootloader found, that is FANTASTIC news as there should be NONE)
    Step 6. Put in a flashed Linux/BSD/Other OS storage device (flashed with something like Belena Etcher or Rufus)
    Step 7. Play around with the OS before installing to test for hardware issues
    Step 8. Install

    Oddly simple but this solution never works:
    Step 1. Flash and OS to external storage
    Step 2. Install to 360
    This does not work because.... computers... I am 16 with no college so do not blame for me not knowing the WHY

    Which one to do?
    Obviously not the oddly simple one that works on PC. Between the hard and easy one, it all depends on how much time/effort/money you wanna put into this. No money but a lot of effort is your style: hard. If you want an easier system that might cost some money but is faster. Now when I said "only got one to work" I meant on one Xbox for both systems of installation. I say to do this you need some luck and some tech savvy skills, other than that it should work prolly closer to 50% of the time with my friends tests. I only did 3 so data might be off. So if you want to this is what I recommend. Prolly all I can do for ya so if it doesn't work keep looking, what you are doing IS COOL AF and Xbox runs (Some) distros very well so I feel like I should mention that you need to research your 360's hardware (for the generation it is in) (where I prolly failed most) because just like you need a distro that is built for the Raspberry Pi's hardware, you need one that works with the hardware for the 360 YOU HAVE (there are multiple generations of 360 with slight hardware changes)

    Best of luck to ya

    I wanna know what mistakes you have made while shopping online. Does not need to be a tech item. 

    I'll go first. So it was maybe... midnight and I was browsing the internet and found New Black - Dell OEM Inspiron Mini 10 (1012) LCD Back Cover Lid - NDYYJ but.... I f****ed up. Notice how it says Back Cover. I read that as Black cover. I thought it was a full laptop... I checked today and I regret my life. I genuinely thought it was a $20 laptop, not a back cover. Since I used a Gift Card I also cannot return it for a refund. FML

    Nettly_ reacted to elsandosgrande in Unable to boot from USB drive   
    My guess would be that macOS might not yet have Vega drivers, but I may be wrong (just watch it be a motherboard incompatibility issue in the end). I would suggest that you read up more on hardware compatibility (a site I've heard of as being popular in the Hackintosh community is https://www.tonymacx86.com/) and look into purchasing compatible hardware if you are unable to use your current hardware and are really desperate for macOS without the legitimate hardware.
     
    If it turns out that you do not have compatible hardware, I'd suggest this:

    Any of those work. If you want my opinion Pop!_OS is a much better option because of the gaming aspect too. Also you will need: A **GOOD** browser (and Firefox does NOT fully work) (Chrome is a good option). A PLAIN TEXT (not rich text) editor, I personally recommend VSCode, OpenJDK, GCC (for C compilation), G++ (for C++), Node.js, Python (for more back-end stuff than what I find Node.js to be useful for). 

    Simply:
    -Chrome
    -A code/plain text editor like VSCode
    -OpenJDK
    -GCC
    -G++
    -Node.js
    -Python
     
    and you should be golden
