I love the UMPC formfactor.
Especially when it runs a full blown OS.

Much more versatile then a phone/device running android.

UMPC's had their moment and vanished due to lack of interest, something I will never understand. I too hope for a resurgence of the form factor, but I suspect that the only thing that would get us there would be Microsoft getting their shit together and rolling out a full-blown Windows for phones instead of fooling around with Continuum or UWP. Nobody wants either, people want Windows on the go, and the only way to get there are handsets based on x86, something that's completely feasible, but for some reason rare.

What is viable to you?

Something that has a proper office suite, can write Blu-ray discs with UDF 2.50 (Linux can't), and that I can use with the extended features (i.e. not just basic MIDI I/O) of my hardware synthesizers.

Viable to me is something that runs perfect every fucking day (aka not Windows).

For all my efforts I could never get a single Linux distro to run perfectly on my computer, even with the latest kernel in the Arch repositories.

I've been running Arch on my laptop for work for 11 months now, using it like 8 hours a day to do my job, without anything breaking, never had to reinstall or mess about with anything.

I for one did have to mess about (sometimes in vein) to get some stuff to work (even had to install special versions of software from the AUR to do that).

It's also a breath of fresh air coming from Windows and having proper control of your computer, no fucking forced updates or reboots.

Throughout my time having to use my colleague's computers with Windows 10 installed when Linux wouldn't cut it the updates have never been an issue for me.

I feel like everyone saying Linux isn't "viable" have actually never tried it properly..

If two years of learning and exclusively running Linux on my daily computer doesn't count as properly trying it then I would reckon that it's Linux that isn't proper.

You have to install Gentoo and use it carefully, according to /g/.

If it's according to /g/ then it's literally just a meme.

 

[JellyPerson]

I said viable.

Ubuntu is 300% viable

Nothing to do with APU. Does "An dedicated" even sound correct to you?

Not native English speaker, I'm guessing. He's doing his best

And All-wheel-drive Ford Focus ST with 200+ horsepower but only about $30,000. I don't really want to pay $60,000 for an RS with 350hp, and the equivalent Subaru has a pathetic engine.

Be grateful you're looking at stuff that powerful, my current car pushes all of 46hp

Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness port for 3DS or Switch.

Wow. You are a fucking nerd.

What about me, you ask? (Said no one ever) I wish there could be a GameCube emulator on the 3DS because I want to play Super Mario Sunshine on my 3DS and got tired of porting the damned game.

 

[PrincessLillie]

Wow. You are a fucking nerd.

Says the person who was porting Super Mario Sunshine to the 3DS.

It's the best Mario game ever tho (And yes, better than Odyssey which I've played 4 times now!)

A general rule of thumb is that if there's a vowel sound at the beginning of the word after it, it's "an", otherwise it's "a"

The thing that makes it tricky is that words like "honorable" have a silent "h", which means you get stuff like "an honorable man" even though when written it looks like it should be "a honorable man"

If you think that's complicated just wait until you get to the "ie" vs "ei" spelling rule
