Why is GNU/Linux so splintered? If there weren't fifty thousand distros and people constantly shit-flinging over the popular ones, it could actually be a viable desktop OS. But that will never happen as long as there's even a question of "What's better, Debian or Arch" because most people aren't able to make a choice themselves when there are so many options. They just want something that works, and no one in the fucking GNU/Linux community can agree on what works.

There shouldn't only be one choice, there should be like 5 and then all the others aren't even mentioned. There still isn't one good Linux because everyone wastes there time on little fucking shit distros that 50 people use.

>>59938975
Debian, Suse, RH, Arch, Gentoo.
There, 5 choices and still too much for you.

Most good programmers do not give a shit about what they look like. They'd be wearing t-shirts and shorts if the dress code allowed that.
Let's talk about "plus sized" phones /g/. Meaning anything larger than around 4.5"-5" screen size. Who actually uses these things? The only people I've ever seen with them are hopeless autismos sitting in a corner watching chinese cartoons. Do you have one? Do you actually have a legitimate excuse to carry a tablet with you everywhere like being old/eye problems/work-related or do you weigh 400 lbs and own several fantasy knives?

People have been constantly told to trust the padlock next to URLs. It used to be, until recently, proof that the site was legit and that you shouldn't be afraid to give it your personal info.
Now, thanks to open source/Linux activists, any moron with a toast connected to the Internet can get themselves a padlock for their scam sites, putting all the personal and bank info of billions of people at risk.
Proof: pic-related.

You can get this for BSD too.

This has nothing to do with open source, your gripe is with Let's Encrypt being accepted as a valid certificate authority on par with other (theoretically) more "serious" authorities, or really people incorrectly telling others that the "padlock" means they must be connected to the server they intended to connect to.
This is basically caused by web browsers showing those "THIS CONNECTION IS UNSECURE!!!!" messages when connecting to an HTTPS site with a self-signed certificate, even HTTP is even less secure and gets no warnings. To get around that you need a free, no hassle certificate authority, which then defeats the purpose of CAs if all CAs are considered equal.
In other words, it's not a "libre" (FOSS) problem, it's a "gratis" problem. Having "tiers" of CAs, free ones vs. paid and (theoretically) more trustworthy ones, could provide a quick fix to your problem, but the long-term fix as ever is to educate people and not tell them patently incorrect information like "The padlock icon means you're completely safe."

So I have a motherboard that only has screws for 2260 size m2 ssd, but there is room for a 2280 one.
There exists adapters to make shorter ssd's (like 2260 sized ones) fit in 2280 sized screw holes (pic related), but does anyone know of one that does the opposite to make it fit my motherboard?

OP here
I was thinking of just glueing it to the motherboard with double sided thermal pads and hope for the best, but wanted to make sure if here want a better solution.
>>
>>59937617
Surely the back screw hole of the m.2 ssd is a ground hence the ssd may not be grounded if you don't screw it in?
You could always make a basic copper cable, connect said points with said cable and then use your thermal pads method.

WINE is trash, but it's better than trying to use XP64 as a daily driver. Or you could just use Linux with a 7 VM.

Ok /g/ im looking for a little computer help here. Im smart enough to know how to operate one but diagnosing issues is not my strong suit.
I have a Compaq Presario cq57 laptop.
It used to overheat and then blue screen and crash, and wouldn't even stay on for more than and few minutes. So I reformatted, and restored it back to factory figuring i had a virus or something. I knew the overheating was a problem too but didn't think it was the primary issue.
After the restore, it did run much better, and stopped blue screening. But it still runs like a slug on a plate of salt. So I bought a laptop cooler and it ran great for a day or so, then went right back to slug status.
I'm curious if someone can maybe point me in the right direction to go here other than trashing it (can't afford to just buy another, so don't say it please). Should I try to restore again? Or disassemble and clean the fans? Ido rather not disassemble, i know how and have done it before but I just don't know if it's worth the risk of ruining something with static shock. Or if it will even do more than a can of dust off.
