it cant do anything special that gnu/linux cant right? same reason bsd isnt really catching on for desktop

>>60467818
nobody will ever use bsd for desktop other than some 25 people, dwal with it (You)

>>60467943
It can do a lot of things Linux (Or Linux-GNU) can't do. On concept level, GNU and Linux are stuck in the 80s
>>60467818
BSD was just good enough.

Opera?

Any alternatives will have far fewer users than Chrome, and will therefor be much more apt to bugs, glitches, exploits, etc. simply because they are used far less than the popular alternatives.

There are other choices, but I can't personally reccomend any, because honestly they are mostly garbage.

1st for I'm going to nuke windows

clap clap clap

When I run feh from the terminal the window opens at top left instead of the center like every other program. Am I missing a setting/option somewhere or is this just how it is?

Running cinnamon on arch.

Node 202 is a good way to go. Cable management really isn't that bad, especially if you get a modular power supply. I have a Silverstone AR-06 cooler in mine and it stays cool and quiet.

Just buy a laptop, you retard.

You're right. I don't mind though. I'm super comfy with my Debian install and I'm way more efficient than I was on Windows. Plus I'm not being spied on and if something works, it works better than on Windows.

Developers aren't making viruses, script kiddies do, and they have no idea how to use a UNIX system unlike real developers.

>>60467153
>Windows Developers

Spend time developing duct-taped solutions and bullshit bloat/spy/malware that is aimed to collect data and milk users

>UNIX developers

Develop all kinds of cool shit for free and share the source code, contribute to other projects and help each other out.

Reading books, occasionally. Also, when I want a bigger screen than my phone but don't want to sit at my desktop. My tablet is an old Tab Pro 8.4 with Cyanogenmod on it.

>>60466710
to get high, anon

>>60466710
Reading comics and manga. Phone screen is tiny and it's uncomfortable on the PC.

Great, I'll start with the logo!

>>60466460
Fuck off I'm making the logo.

Can I do the logo pls?
>>60466460

sir please do the needful and delet

>>60466053
Are we going to do this now? Link some benchmark about some obscure software or game and post to prove amd or intel superiority?

>>60465843

you installed it on the wrong drive you idiotic fuckface.

did you pay attention to the fucking installer at all or did you just blindly clicked next like a toddler.

>>60464922
Typical.

I seem to disagree with almost everyone on almost everything these days, but this is really another case of (most of) the internet taking a very simplistic approach to something that likely won't pan out as they expect. "The big corporations, they hate our freedom and poor black people and they're going to oppress us." Probably not, at worst they're probably going to offer an extra streaming service or something at a premium and throttle occasionally until too many people complain. So not much different from what they do now.

The idea of big business ISPs messing with the speed of content is rather annoying, especially for people who live in rural areas with few options. But you know what's more annoying? A power hungry government that's shown beyond all doubt, REPEATEDLY, that it has absolutely no respect for the internet and the people on it regulating it centrally instead. "Don't worry, the law just guarantees freedom. It's to defend us." Until someone at some point in time inevitably tries to sneak something else in. Terrorism is bad, isn't it? Do you support terrorism? Of course not, so we'll just block some extremist sites here and there. You'll be fine with it, right? Hate speech is bad too, so how about a few more? Actually, we have trouble identifying people because they keep evading us, so we're going to need a new identification system.

I understand the frustrations of people who don't want to deal with shitty ISPs. And that the government has regulated new ISPs out of competing. And that the government has stopped mergers that would make things worse. It's a multifaceted issue. But what's consistent over time in the realistic sense is that you can switch ISPs, you can move, but what you can't do is escape central power. Even people in other nations can and will be affected by a centrally controlled internet. And sure, they can regulate all this either way, but it's an awful lot easier when you've got your foot in the door.

>muh netflix

Well the thing failed and net neutrality is now gone. How long until Orgin puts $$$ to throttle Steam ?

Thanks man. Ubuntu a good starting distro? How about Debian? I've been using a virtual machine to learn C and also a bit of the command line.

Linux Mint is good for noobs too. Debian not so much anymore.

Your still paying and the objective in pirating is to execute everything without money involved.

>literally no control of OS
>muh web extensions
I don't understand why people can't just install google chrome if you don't care about privacy at all, why do you have to use it as your OS.

>chrome os
>shit specs
>is a laptop
No thank you, you can get good deals with used surface pros.

shit battery life
low storage capacity
no support
some models designed to run shitty os and putting anything else on it is a bit irritating
just get a macbook and stop being a contrarian faggot
