do you trust nvidia enough for nvidia proprietary drivers to be the only close-source non-free software on your otherwise libre computer?

Why would you need drivers for an OS with no software?

>1.6 GHz Intel Atom N450

Does anyone know if the latest Fedora will still run on such shitty specs, without it feeling like I'm running Windows 7 on a Pentium 3 with 256 MB RAM?

No, it will run like crap. Get either Gentoo or Void on that thing. Probably Void as compiling will take forever on such low end hardware.

Just buy a Chromebook.

Thanks. I'll try that out. I was hoping to try Fedora, but I guess it's to Red hat as Ubuntu's to Debian.

Why would I spend money on something that's just as shitty as something I got for free anyways?

It is a terrible OS. It is not intuitive. It is cluttered. What does Square, Triangle, Circle Mean? It means STOP, PLAY, RECORD. Not whatever the fuck they're trying to make it.
Both Apple and BlackBerry 10 OS are far superior to use.
I hate how Android has managed to become the most adopted simply because its free for HW manufacturers to use. It is a terrible OS.

I am the best at building PCs. This thread is for people who don't just want general random advice but rather something targeted towards their needs, which takes use, budget, and skill at building into consideration along with aesthetics.

Talk about wine, crossover linux, virtualbox or anything related to running windows programs on linux
Has anyone here managed to get traktor 2 (DJ software) working on linux? Mixxx is fine but i prefer traktor.

Wine is a terrible meme that never ends.
KVM with GPU passthrough is the future for windows compatibility.

Does anyone have any information on getting ping to work in Wine? (ICMP)
A program I am trying to get to run in Wine needs to ping a server and ping still has not been implemented in Wine
Some guides online suggest using setcap but this breaks library paths and causes the program not to run and no fix I've seen actually helps
I've been thinking about possibly editing the code that deals with it and just making it return a false positive (because I know the server is up but the program doesn't)

As a 24 year old single female I think it's very hard to find a guy who's actually interested in free software. I've had guys jokingly ask to "Netflix and Chill" but when I tell him that I don't use Netflix since Netflix requires proprietary software to stream content, they stop talking to me. And worse if they do stay they think I'm weird since I blocked Google IP's in my host file and we can't even watch YouTube. I can't text them either. Once I get their numbers since I've added custom roms to my phone and refuse to use sms since it's a security concern I require all of my friends to download a free and open source messaging app and I share with them my public PGP key so that we can verify our conversations are secure. None of my friends are willing to do this. And I can't use sites like tinder since it's not proprietary software but a major privacy vulnerability. How come it is so hard to find a guy concerned about software freedom? I feel like I'm going to be single forever.
