I'm posting this question here, as I assume more people will read it here and it's directed especially at people who DON'T have any Linux or Unix experience (and would therefore not look in the Linux/Unix Forum).
I'm planning a new article for the Howto Section to clear up the common misconceptions about Linux, for example: - It's difficult to install
- You have to know shell script
- You have to compile everything yourself
- You have to pay for Linux
- You can't use Windows and Linux parallel
- Linux is only for freaks
and so on and so on. But I can't do this on my own, so I've created a Thread here to collect ideas, thoughts, suggestions and questions from everybody who has or hasn't ever used Linux or Unix.
Please answer to that thread, not here.
Greetings,
Nepomuk

G'day,
I'm writing a ringtone manager for nokia ringtones and I'd like to be
able to play the ringtone on the PC speaker. I've had some success in
DOS with turbo C and its sound(), delay() and nosound(). Is there
anything similar for Linux? I know I can make a simple beep with '\a',
but that's not what I need. If not, can someone please show me how to
do this with the /dev/audio device?

Hi again,
I am new to compiling C programs in Linux/Unix. I wanted to compile a
program by using gcc, but it turned out that gcc does not know where to
locate the library being called.
The program is as follows,

int main()

Hi
What is a good C/C++ compiler for a 64-bit linux system?
I'm thinking of building a new PC and want to put an AMD64 in it. Since
I've already got one windows PC, windows isn't free, and isn't even past
beta in 64-bit, I thought I'd go for a fedora linux box.
But I've no idea what compiler to use - presumably it'd be gcc, but which?
Do I need cygwin or anything if I'm on linux, or does gcc "just work" on
linux because it's its native...

I have an application where the user loads graphics from another site.
Presently I advise the user to wait for graphics to load before
clicking on adjustments. Ideally, I would prefer a closed-loop approach
where code would recognize completion of loading and automatically
enable the adjustments. Any ideas on how I can tap into what my browser
knows would be appreciated.

When a process is started three segments are created :
1) Text.
2) Stack.
3) Data.
The size of First two is fixed and their upperlimit is fixed by the
compiler. (Plz correct if i'm wrong)
Now The Data Segment : at the start it's size is small but as the
process goes on and requires Dynamic Memory allocation, its size
increases.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp
Here is the code in...
