Could you recommend me a distro that is neither easy nor hard to use? I want to learn more about linux but I'm not keen on manually mounting my external hard drive.
Unironically Arch. Also use fglt faggot
>>62288598
Arch or Debian, you can have a learning system up and running in less than an hour

Is it necessary to spend a lot of time on C before learning C++?
>>62288425
You can just go straight into C++
>>62288460
I shouldn't learn C first?
Yes, because learning C++ without learning C leads to tons of bad habits and a very incomplete picture of how C works.
Think of C++ as a giant framework of abstractions that ALMOST KINDA is backwards compatible with C but not really.
It's much easier to see what C is doing, you can very clearly see where all the processor cycles go.
C++ does tons of sneaky shit and makes debugging a pain.
C++ actually started as a preprocessor for C called Cfront that spat out compliant C code.
Is this the only good browser for smart phones?
What other options do I have which are equally fast?
>>62288290
>Using chrome
Don't be cucked. Just use your smartphone's default browser. I completely removed chrome from my devices after they fired that employee for no good reason other than "muh gender politics". Can't deal with their shit.
Brave is the only good phone browser.
Blocks ads like Firefox but fast like Chrome

Daily reminder that all you need for perfect audio experience is $3 IEMs and EqualizerAPO + PeaceGUI.
Anything more is for retarded audiophools who love falling for snake's oil scams.
Alright, here's the deal: it's almost the end of 2017 and I've been using strictly only wireless Bluetooth headphones for the couple last years, simply out of principle and to gather all the needed first-hand experience on this entire "wired VS wireless" debacle. So, after using strictly only wireless headphones on a daily basis for almost two-and-a-half years, I can definitely without any doubt openly state that the "always wired only" and "only highly expensive portable players/no smartphone pleb-tier" pseudo-audiophilic FAGGOTS are completely and absolutely FULL OF SHIT. I won't argue with anyone here that wireless headphones in general and wireless sound technologies in overall were utter garbage just 5-or-so years ago, but nowadays it's NOWHERE even remotely close to being as bad as it was in 2012 and further down the line. Everything (literally EVERY THING) these so-called self-proclaimed pseudo-audiophilic kiddie shithead trolls are openly and absolutely brainlessly proclaiming loudly everywhere about MODERN wireless sound technologies being any "bad" or "not on par with wired" is 100% COMPLETE BULLSHIT. Abso-effing-lute LIE. These retarded deaf kiddies clearly never used any modern wireless headphones that cost more than 50$ (and actually good/worthwhile wireless headphones start from the 120$ mark AT THE VERY LEAST) and/or they never tried Apt-X LL or ESPECIALLY the GODLIKE LDAC. These FAGS basically don't know jack about any of this, but they act like they're the hottest and most knowledgeable shits around the block while in reality they're not hot, but just shit. MODERN wireless sound IS actually VERY good and does NOT lose to wired at all by the sheer quality of sound and latency (if it's apt-X LL or LDAC), WHILE being WAAAY more convenient and comfortable to use due to headphones being completely (WELL, DUH!) wireless. Fuck all those pseudo-audiophilic pseudo-elitistic sudo-entitled "pro-wired" scrubshits, I say. They know fucking NOTHING.
is the Oneplus 5 a chinese botnet engine eating up all mah freeduhms?
or is it a steal deal for the price (sale for 370EUR=440USD on gearbest).
What are the alternatives?
it's got pretty weird hardware

How to assemble a PC, select components & more (outdated)
https://wiki.installgentoo.com/index.php?title=Build_a_PC
CPUs:
No i5 unless discounted
>G4560 - poverty-tier builds
>R3 1200 - Budget builds (<$500)
>R3 1400 - If you need multithreading
>R5 1600 - Best value for higher fps gaming / mixed usage
>R7/Used Xeon/Threadripper - Compute/Multitask/VM/mixed use, not for just gaming
GPUs:
Coin miners have driven price up and stock down, waiting to buy a GPU might be wiser
>Integrated CPU Graphics - Desktop stuff and very light games
>GTX 1050(Ti) - Lower end budget cards, drop settings on newer games, RX560 beaten by both
>RX570 - 1080p@60~hz maxed, running most maxed older games at 100~Hz
>RX580 and GTX1060 6GB - 1080p@80hz maxed, 1440p@60hz at lower settings; RX580 better in newer games
>GTX 1070 or Vega 56 - 1080p@130hz /1440p@60hz at high
>GTX 1080 - 1080p@144hz / 1440p@60hz maxed, 4k@60hz in a few games; Probably the highest end card you need for 1080p/1440p
>GTX 1080Ti - 1440p@144hz and 4k@60hz maxed/high in many games
>Good fucking luck even getting a VEGA right now
RAM:
>Check your Mobo QVL before buying any RAM
>Ryzen CPUs benefits a lot from high speed RAM, 3200 MHz is ideal
General:
ALWAYS LOOK AT PRODUCT REVIEWS!
Always consider an SSD. Try buying a large SSD for what you'd pay for your SSD+HDD combined, and add a HDD later
NVMe SSDs aren't for a faster OS boot, they're for productivity/scratch disk/VMs. NVMe and M.2 are not the same thing, M.2 is a form factor
Last hurrah for Vishera, if you can't/won't get all new hardware for Ryzen:
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113415
an i3-6100 on a h110 or b150 with 2133, is the same price as a g4560 on a b250 with 2400. Doesn't really matter as it looks like you will need a 300 series board for 8th gen. and 1151 v1 is dead. No wonder there was no h210

>Stallman is more important than Steve Jobs and Bill Gates
Most likely yes, since Jobs is dead and Gates is retired.
>>62288030
He is
>>62288030
Stallman invented the philosophy that gave me an OS that I use today.
Steve Jobs invented a way to sell computers to faggots.
Bill Gates just wants to spread AIDS in Africa with tainted vaccines.
Why exactly should anyone consider Jobs and Gates more important than Stallman? Because the lying media says so? The same media that predicted Hillary winning with over 400 electoral votes?
