That entire series is fantastic. I highly recommend it.

this is accurate.

I think that really will help though. ( the thread has two pages now  )

Luckily, it's going away soon: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2017/04/ubuntu-unity-is-dead-desktop-will-switch-back-to-gnome-next-year/

Thank goodness, maybe the normal ubuntu user will be able to use their pc without raging every five minutes now.

Wait.... You hate Unity? As in Unity3d? What type of programming universe do you live in? It's terrible for things that are not games, but it's amazing at what it's good for. That said, I am a hobbyist rather than a professional, so take whatever I saw with a grain of salt 

No  no no I love the unity engine, I'm talking about the desktop environment from canonical, the clunkiest piece of crap ever ( worse than windows )

(I edited the post you where talking about for clarification.)

Hi there! I found you via your sculpting youtube channel. I was wondering if you still have this model, and if it was available for use? 

Absolutely, I would love it if you used this model! Its attributed under the CC-BY 2.0 just give credit if you use it anywhere. I have a 3d print ready model here: https://skfb.ly/69zDp , and the normal non-manifold model here: https://skfb.ly/69yn6  

Just click the download button under the preview window. All of my daily sculpts have the same license and are downloadable.

I have recently installed Mint on my PC. I like it, but it is also a mess. I don't know how big \home directory should be (mine is like 70 GB), how big root directory should be, what about the other ones. As a newbie, it took me hours to install my first program, I think it was TeXmaker (Mint has LyX I think), and even then there were new problems, like texmaker saying log file not found. In windows there was a solution available, but for linux I didn't even know where to begin.

I tried making a bootable Win 7 usb there, and again problem, UNetBootin won't recognise my USB (it was mounted btw). 

My mom has her own problems. Being a big Candy Crush player, she couldn't do it on Linux, somehow there's some Adobe Flash problem with it. I tried to install Chrome, but mine is 32-bit OS. 

In windows you can copy paste a file anywhere, but in Mint, I tried one drive (not the root one), but the option wasn't available. 

It automatically locks down when left idle (which is obvious), but when typing correct username and password, there was no change. It took me a good solid hour to work around this.

And worst of all is the support system on the net. You have a problem, you look on mint forums, and they give you some codes for terminal, which work like black magic. I have sudo app install command pasted on my monitor.

I think almost all of my problems are because of my inexperience (never used linux before), and some tinkering with it won't hurt much. But some book or reference will definitely be helpful. For starters, I have the official mint one with me.

I've been a strong Linux user for a while now, and to be honest I don't think mint is the most user-friendly, they have tinkered with the file system to the point where you can't just look for an Ubuntu tutorial. Personally, I would recommend Kubuntu or Zorin. But Linux definitely takes getting used to. Anywho if you need any help, just go ahead and message me.

That's where the controversy comes in, AMD is kinda notorious for both optimization and support but as long as you like everything AMD has to offer then your good. (every other choice looks great.)

Also if you are wondering here is a list of its supported software. https://www.playonlinux.com/en/supported_apps.html

I am sure I could take some software to the clock and distort it into a slightly moving gif, But I don't want to spend time on it unless you guys really want it.

You are talking about this picture right?

And for anyone less experienced in this whole area I think Zorin os is amazing. https://zorinos.com/ 

Manjaro is great but for people less experienced with Linux in general, it's a bit overcomplicated. Here is a link to a thread on Linux distros,

@CarolaDavar This is a nice clock if you don't mind military time.  I made it myself - it is a whole 4 lines of code.

 

@Exalted Dungeon Master What editions do you play?

 

 

and yet somehow I am still using a binary clock  

This makes absolutely no sense because Google never required phone verification on any of the many accounts I have made, it usually suggests to add one but you can skip it.

PlayOnLinux is a companion program for wine specifically designed for gaming, the software sets up wine in a way that allows for a lot of games to run on it that would otherwise fail.

Greetings nerds, this is me the.... uhh guy who does stuff  yup. 

Currently I listen to man's best creation Here

Okay this is coming along, I have almost finished the entire base mesh. I am going to start going into fine detail sculpting once I am done with the head.

I have a preferance of Ubuntu of the KDE ui.  Or the Mint UI.

Though I have to admit, I don't have it as a primary OS on any machine I own.

I'm a PC gamer, and you just can't play as many titles on Linux, as you can on Windows.

 

You Have tried PlayOnLinux Right?

Ahh yes, excuse me while I ramble, I personally own an amazing chromebook about that size, great speakers and screen and keyboard, and slap linux on that thing and its pretty great. Would highly recommend it, c(cant remember the model off the top of my head but if you want to know I can get it for you.)

The question at this point is, how much are you wanting to draw onto the captures, In my personal opinion I think that krita is far more superior than gimp in everything exept photo editing, I know that david revoy nakes a webcomic in Krita called pepper and carrot and it looks pretty nice so ask me and I poimt you to Krita.

I can modify but not build computers.

This has always been cunfusing because computers are kind of just adult legos and midifying pre-built pcs is often harder than building from scratch.

Probably a good thing you haven't started on that, Also im pretty sure openSUSE and ubuntu both have secure boot licenses wich means you should probably be able to dual boot with either of those distros even with UEFI But I havent really had to deal with that yet, cuz I like to build my PC's but I will defenitly look into bypassing it, as its something very VERY STORMING annoying 

Ahh Linux everyone's favorite kernel, we all love it but man we have some disagreement on the distro  So here is the place to let off some heat and brag about your skills. I'm going to cut straight to the chase and say I really like the ubuntu architecture, the way the filesystem and package management works is awesome. But I HATE the "Unity" desktop environment it comes stalk with. It is terrible. So usually I use Kubuntu with a dark theme and these icons Dalisha and Papirus

I have to Agree Squarespace is a great software.
