Finland was a mistake.
Hey /g/. I accidentally hit my computer with a drumstick and it looks like this. Is there anyway i can fix it without going to a store? Audio still works but I can't really see anything. Please help.
you need to replace the screen
Install Gentoo.
No, it's fucked. Look on ebay, amazon or aliexpress for a replacement panel if it's cheap enough.

WHEN WILL NOUVEAU COME TO OPENBSD???
AAAAAUUUUUUUGH
>>62351571
Not sure but I remember the FreeBSD people did something but abandoned it short thereafter.
If you're a lucky guy that can disable the nvidia GPU at BIOS level then you should be golden using the Intel with any BSD.
On my laptop, where I can't completely disable the dGPU I'm finding myself comfortable with Linux still, but on servers and network equipment I run BSD only

Why ThinkPad? (also applies to other business laptops)
>Used machines are plentiful and cheap.
>Excellent keyboards - tactile feel and quiet.
>Great durability: chassis uses a magnesium rollcage for structural integrity, with high quality plastic body panels.
>Utilitarian design: e.g. indicator LEDs, 7 row keyboard layout on older models.
>Docking stations that easily turns your laptop into a desktop.
>Easy to repair, upgrade and maintain thanks to readily available service manuals for every model. Spare parts are easy and cheap to obtain.
>The best trackpoint (that red thing in the middle of the keyboard). Great for those who type a lot or hate swiping their fingers all over a touchpad.
>Excellent GNU/Linux & *BSD support.

Since physical media is dead (not dying, it is dead. It's not relevant except to hoarders), why do they still sell movies and games on disc, when digital is so much more convenient? Seems like stores would be rid of such an obsolete thing, it'd be like selling Betamax tapes in 2010.
fuck off
I want to own my games and movies.
* 50GB is a lot to download.
* Older generations might not be familiar with digital collections and just keep piling discs.
* Some games don't even have the game on the disc. Just a cereal and a steam installer. I'm guessing publishers just do that for more publicity.
>>62351153
What is the point? How many times are you going to play through a game through the longevity of that disc? How many times are you going to watch that movie?
is it as bad as /g/ says it is? What distro do you guys use?
Yes, Slackware

Here come systemd shills.
Just you wait op
Not from speedtest.net
It is highly unreliable especially if you are not in the US or EU countries. Only few big companies have their data servers in or near 2nd/3rd world countries. So while it will be faster to access servers from those companies, same connection line can take ages if websites or companies don't have their localized servers near you.
Here is my speedtest. I download a random movie from tpb. My isp promise 20Mbps and peek speed is 20Mbps while the average is 1.8Mbps.
>>62350999
nice numbers and nice speed friend
>>62350974
Wait, do you think MB/s=Mbps?
How is Doge in any way related to FireFox v57 release? I don't get it.

What do you guys think is a good distro that gets frequent updates and doesn't have systemd switching from Ubuntu MATE?
What's wrong with systemd?
>>62350872
Botnet
>>62350891
wrong
You can use Manjaro OpenRC or Devuan, but I'm not sure MATE is supported, GNOME isn't
