>Why do you care about the number of packages and memory usage so much?
I don't
>Do you guys do anything else than screenfetch on your virtual machines and play video games on Windows 10?
I spend most of may day in programming. Gaming is a shitty, unproductive distraction. Also, I don't use windows since 2013
>Every damn Arch user seems to have ~800 packages installed and use the lightest WM available and once they see a picture of someone else having +1000 packages or using an actual DE they lose their shit because Xfce uses 50MB more RAM than their dumb masochist WM. It's 2017 and you have at least 8GB of RAM, who the fuck cares about ~50MB.
What they don't realize is that if you have a working WM, a panel, a session manager and a file manager you already have a DE. DE is everything you want it to be.

Everyone keeps saying this but every time I try to switch to a WM, configuring my complicated audio/video setup is pain and I'm also lacking accessibility features like easy keyboard configuration. I need to plug & unplug a shit ton of displays and audio devices (inputs & outputs) on a daily basis and a fully-featured DE makes this much easier.

unmaintained and largely irrelevant in the current year. You won't notice 0.00002 ms lags and moreover DNS requests are cached no matter your underlying OS and setup. What matters from a client perspective is just that your DNS won't be either filtered or snooped on.

Yeah, but there is more to that than just NSA spying. There are hundreds of undocumented features and I don't think you need that many for surveillance, which makes me wonder: What are those for exactly?

Maybe it's just hardware crust. Remaints of a prototype? They don't have to be all malicious, come could be just useless due to human error.

I use my work's VPN when I work from home

for private use, no, I don't

I use ProtonVPN's free VPN, because why not?

Yes

(for piracy, but almost all website including 4chan Netflix and Crunchyroll block VPN access, encouraging me to pirate even more)

When I got 100 shekels in the mail to write an article about how bad it is

been using it for years, couldnt imagine using anything else.

10sec desktop boot time. so productive with a tiled window manager. love the command line with scripting/aliases.

i feel nauseous using windows when the less tech inclined need help installing something.

has programming penguin ever been more btfo besides this infamous incident?

qutebrowser, for a longer while now.
not even shilling, if you like highly configurable keyboard driven software, it will be right up your alley.

>>62322711

See

>Browsers not based on chromium or perhaps firefox codebases don't qualify as those can't run the basic extensions one needs to view modern webshit

That's the second league of qtwebkit/webkitgtk non-browsers. I quite fancied Otter browser (clone of old opera feel). Note that this group is *very* huge (there are about 20 active projects), as those canned layout engines are fairly easy to use and self-contained. The problem is simply that html layout engine and rudimentary js doesn't a browser make.

If you care only about keybindings, there's always vimium/vimperator for modern browsers. The link-key-anchor mode is especially useful rather than awkwardly trying to point trackpad there.

Palemoon- has most of muh extensions and didn't fucking drop ALSA support out of laziness
Qutebrowser- good browser with potential, wouldn't use it as a daily right now
Brave- decent on Android, shit on desktop

It has better software compatibility coming from third parties because they was trained in school how to develop with MS only technologies, coupled with a relatively low marketshare they just will say that supporting linux is not worthy. Also most people learns Windows as if it were the way a computer should be used, so people is basically indoctrinated into using it from a young age. On top of that MS has deals with institutions and tries to be as incompatible as possible to make harder others to compete...

Otherwise honestly the cons of windows outweighs its good points, honestly the only reason why i would ever use windows over linux is if my work depends on a windows-only software. Otherwise i always prioritize multi-platform software.

>>62322179
>My time isn't worthless.
elaborate so we can discuss your reasons. Honestly for me linux has been practically maintenance-free compared to windows.

>crying about Arch not being stable

every fucking time

>>62321659
It's not that Arch isnt stable enough for me.

It's that you have to install everything, which is fine for wifi and pulse n shit, but when I'm at school and I need a vpn real quick I don't feel like researching the topic for 2 hours until I finally get it to work. That shit is fine on my desktop but cant have that at school

>>62321721
VPNs aren't something you just install, you need to connect to some server, which requires you to choose one which will take more time than installing the client software.
