Display managers won't start X (they kinda lock and then reload after a few seconds). startx works even unprivileged. Had no problem until I updated the kernel. Launching CDM first then my DM works fine. Nothing appears in any logs, strace is useless. What do? Please respond edition.
I'm a long time MacOS user.

Is it strange my local coffee shop has gigabit networking just to provide a few customers wi-fi? Why would they need such networking capabilities?
Better than being stingy fucks allocating like 128 kbps to everyone.
No, retard.

I like your idea though OP
At least paste in a fucking iPhone 7. Not some disgusting render from some shithead on the internet. Font is way off too. Apple doesn't put their logo at the bottom of an ad, colors etc.
Hey /g/.
My laptop recently died and I'm looking to replace it. I've always gamed on laptops, but I can't find a reputable place to order a gaming laptop on- that I'm able to fully customize.
All these gaming laptops nowadays are so counter intuitive. My two biggest pet peeves in a laptop include speakers below/in front causing horrible audio quality and mouse pads with no buttons.
I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to building a laptop- I'm used to just buying whatever HP has out at the time, but those end up disappointing me eventually- and their customer service is garbage.
TLDR:
Where / how can I customize a gaming laptop (that can support games like Blade & Soul, Aion, and other high-end graphics mmorpgs)?
I really appreciate any advice.
do i even need to tell you to kill yourself.
>also what is searx.me
>>59664343
If I'm posting in the wrong place just let me know. I'm really just looking for help.
>>59664287
>All these gaming laptops nowadays are so counter intuitive.
you got it bud. you have few customization options of gaymen laptops because you are paying upfront for said customization. its a shit deal 99% of the time.
i'd only buy one that can do egpu but last i checked that wasn't really cost effective for my use case either ymmv.
What is the best country to live in that's not north america? I just realized most of my work is online and I could do with moving. The only things I require are safety and inexpensive. I know often that these two things are hard to come by together outside the first world countries. So far I'm looking at south korea since there's a tech industry there, and if I need a quick job I speak three languages fluently that I can teach.

True for any first-world country.

Malwarebytes tools, MBAR specifically. Fresh install of windows and uBlock Origin+HTTPS Everywhere+Violentmonkey for adblocking and security.

Thanks, man.
slackware.
discuss.
I would rather waste time compiling with gentoo than tracking down dependencies with slackware
grandpa, stop using your computer
the nurse will put you to bed soon
>>59664429
This, 100x this. I first installed Slackware in 1996, no way I'd run it in 2017.

What would an OS sold in a Hitler store be like? What would it be programmed in? What features would it have?
>>59664156
A thread died for this pointless shit. Don't forget to sage.
Here's an oldie for you.
>Hitler store
The full pre-key Vault7 torrent is still massive, and it contains Management Engine-modifying viruses that brick harddrives. Included are instructions and tools a scriptkiddie can use to implant them safely into .pdfs or all manner of other shit. They are invisible to all modern Antivirus software and ridiculously small (the smallest around 27kb unpacked). Does anyone care, or ... ?
>>59664068
Guess not. Christ
I think a lot of people care, but what can we do? Most people dismiss these types of discussions by calling us tinfoil hats or they flat out say they don't give a shit. In order for something to happen, more people need to speak up than just computer nerds.
I care.
I just don't know what the fuck we can do about it. The alphabet agencies are above the law. There's nothing we can realistically do to stop them even if new privacy laws are passed.
>it's not the fastest
>it's barely customizable
>it doesn't have many features
>it sells your data to advertisers
Examples of better browsers:
Opera
>a lot faster
>built in adblocker
>built in vpn
>compatible with chrome addons and chromecast
>extremely customizable
>a lot of cool features like mouse gestures and taking youtube videos with you when switching tabs
Or if you care about privacy and security:
Pale Moon
>better customizable
>faster
>Open source, so no data mining
>many security addons available that block ads and tracking companies
Chromium
>exactly chrome but open source and without datamining
Not just making fun of people but seriously wondering: why are you still sucking googles semi-erect penis?
Opera has been Chrome for several years OP.
I submit to the botnet and I love it.
Opera is a joke fuck you
>>59664007
>>59664017
Opera is chrome but better
Faster, better equipped and more customizable
The only downside of it is that it's chromium based and closed source so there is literally no reason not to use it when youre already using chrome
