I've been trying to find a guide for rooting a redmi note 4. I found several different ones but it seems like each iteration of the phone has a specific guide for it.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-4/how-to/guide-redmi-note-4-unlock-bootloader-t3517806
Only one of them has the guide for the Chinese ROM I think. Which one is the correct one? I have the MTK Helio X20 build.
I needed a new phone and my friend, an iOS app developer, sold me his iPhone 5 for $30. I like it so far, and it seems like I got a great deal, but how do I get it to play WEBMs on 4chan?
I'm not into tech, what's the best choice between 150-200 euros (Belgium) ?
So far I've found :
> Huawei Honor 5C
> Huawei Honor 5X
> Xiaomi redmi note 4
Any other model or brand I should check ?
Why aren't you running the Surface Studio? You're not poor, right?
My XPS15 has better hardware, better thermals, and I could just plug it into a comparable screen if I really needed it.

there is no comparable screen, the closest you get is nearly 3000$ from wacom.

Arch is a joke distro which is made to teach schoolkids CLI, it's never employed in production by serious companies. Every developed distro has a minimal installer up to installing an OS from a chroot environment, for example Ubuntu Core or debootstrap, schoolkids don't know about it, they think that there's only a GUI installer in Ubuntu and Debian.
Gentoo is a professional distro with a high level of flexibility through the robust established compilation toolchain, the unified interface for compilation flags in the portage system, good tools for kernel compilation. For example Google uses Gentoo as a base for Chrome OS.
To cut long story short, Arch is for pajeets who can't manage their time but who want to show that they know CLI, Gentoo is for professional engineers who want a reliable and flexible system.

your task: properly quote the command string to make it work (like the numbers show)
you can use: `'`, `"`, and `\`, and other kinds of bash syntax, but NO FUNCTIONS
install xclip or just redirect the output into some file or somethig instead of piping to xclip to see if it works

>>already loose and falls off when I type
Looks like you bought a shit brand. The loosest fitting caps I own are some cheap ABS caps from a $100 Leopold keyboard that I bought four years ago. They're loose enough to be easily removed by hand, but even then, they're nowhere loose enough to fall off when I type. What shit did you even buy?

1) The price is right.
2) With the right distro, there are seemingly limitless possibilities for customization. It is a great activity to focus your autism at when you aren't watching chinese cartoons.
3) Since picking the "right" distro means nothing works out of the box, there is always something to do. Again, more esoteric bullshit to focus your autism at.
My tax return is about $660 USD. What GTX 1080 should I get? I do want the fastest for my money but also something silent as well. Upgrading from an R9 390 cause I'm tired of the piece of shit LITERALLY using over 300 watts.

Too lazy to link anything but I spent a few hours autistically googling because I also bought one recently. Found a big sale after 1080ti dropped.
MSI Gaming or EVGA SC seem to be most popular / reliable choices.
I think the Zotac turbonigger edition is technically the fastest out of the box.
I believe the MSI gaming series was the quietest / 2nd fastest.
EVGA SC was the best cheaper one.
Didn't bother looking into the obscure brands that I wouldn't be able to buy anyways.
