  2. To be honest I went on 4chan and said WTF. Then left and never went back on again....

  3. @purplephish20 On my system things don't randomly break and then unbreak when rebooting.

  4. @purplephish20 Windows logic :P

  5. @bitshift Agreed, agreed. And well, it is fun, yeah. Just, a system that can be customised to your needs and wishes, waiting for your commands. It's a great feeling...

  6. @bitshift Well, I was including the downloading and installing. It's really only a few commands in most cases, a no-brainer if you've done it before :P

  7. @toksyuryel Oh, that's cool!

  8. @rainbowdashepicness The first time I tried Arch Linux I spent a few hours in complete hell, but right now I can get a system with desktop environment running in less than 10 minutes with my eyes closed.

  9. @purplephish20 I suppose you have checked task manager?

  10. @bitshift Luckily not only VALVe is porting their stuff: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/06/unity3d-4-will-be-the-first-mass-market-games-engine-to-support-linux

  11. @rainbowdashepicness I use Arch Linux, which starts without any desktop environment and window manager as well and uses BSD-style initscripts. Really, I know what it's like :P

  13. @rainbowdashepicness Ah, FreeBSD. I remember trying that, the installer broke for me and I couldn't get it to install. I'm personally using GNOME3 now. It's less effective than GNOME2, but it looks beautiful and I love their notification system. I surely prefer it over Unity, though. Ugh, Unity...

  14. @bitshift http://www.pressfire.no/spesialer/e3-2012/5345/Hva-er-det-Half-Life-sjefen-ler-av Not the best videos, but it brings the point across.

  15. @toksyuryel True, I love that.

  16. @rainbowdashepicness I know Ubuntu, I personally think it's good for beginners but I wouldn't touch it with a 10-foot pole myself anymore. It's not for me :P I wouldn't recommend using WINE anyway, but looking for Linux alternatives. For example, LibreOffice instead of Microsoft Office.

  17. @epiclittlebony o? o,o

  18. @rainbowdashepicness .exe support issues? Why would you even run Windows software on Linux? Linux has its own software, the only thing you can't really run on Linux are some Windows games, but with Steam coming to Linux and so, more and more games are getting Linux support (you can already see this trend clearly).

  19. @epiclittlebony Piracy is not theft. Stealing removes the original copy, piracy does not. If you want to get a new OS, though, you may as well take a look into Linux. You can get that for free legally. If it's not nice, you can always pirate Windows afterwards :P

  20. @killerkiwi117 Desktop Ponies runs on Linux just fine :P

  21. @epiclittlebony You don't need Windows to pony up your computer :P

  22. @nlghtmaremoon Server 08 R2? Is that Windows Server 2008 R2 or what?

    Sunday, 15-Jul-12 17:51:47 UTC from web in context
  23. @nlghtmaremoon Just out of curiosity, which OS does it run?

    Sunday, 15-Jul-12 17:49:38 UTC from web in context
  24. @bitshift Ah, interesting. I'm personally doing it the exact other way around :P

    Sunday, 15-Jul-12 17:45:48 UTC from web in context
  25. @nlghtmaremoon Your desktop does server stuff? Cool, mine does as well :P

  26. @purplephish20 Let him check his subscriptions and group memberships. If he is a member of RDN groups those messages will appear on his identi.ca, same with people here he is subscribed to. I'm assuming his account here wasn't deleted, if that's the case I have no clue how it works.

  27. @newpatrol You tried typing 1 and then pressing Enter? I guess I should make that slightly more clear.

    Sunday, 15-Jul-12 17:30:07 UTC from web in context
  28. @newpatrol You can help beta-test my crappy WIP game: http://178.85.178.39/textmode/src/. It's not the best game ever, but should keep you busy for half a minute I hope

  29. @killerkiwi117 Ah, okay. Well, good luck with whatever that may be!

  30. @killerkiwi117 Do you mean that as in, you're bored?
