What is the most retardproof distro? Need it for my mom's computer, she'll be using it for browsing faceberg and doing menial elementary teacher work.
>>59492753
Debian, Ubuntu or Mint. Personally I'd go with debian, as it's the most stable of the three and is very easy to upgrade (it also only gets updated less than once a year). It should work on most hardware. Ubuntu may be a little easier if she needs to install any extra software without your help after you install it.
>>59492753
ubuntu LTS

And there are thousands of other examples of google being helpful, so whats wrong with it? Only autistic tinfoil weeb manchildren are against this system.

It will be another butt raping for wintoddlers.
Switch anytime. Ubuntu, Debian, Mint, even Arch. Doesn't matter, just abandon winship.
>>59508420
>but I am not sure what it is........
I'll help you out!
What you did here was click a link that helps you get an insider build, the purposes of these builds are for testing and not meant to be used as your main OS, they force telemetry (crashes, dumps, memdumps of crashed applications and services) to full so that complete dumps can be sent back to help fix the final product and this is why you are prompted about privacy settings.
No need to thank me.

sugo sg13b mini-itx for 1440p gaming for under $1000
https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/qnPrnn
Is that mobo good?
Should I use rx 480 and upgrade a year later, or should I just buy 1070 right now?
When I decide to upgrade the CPU 3 or 4 years down the line, will I be utterly screwed? Or there will be CPU which will fit with the mobo?
How should I design the airflow inside the case?
Yes I know, but Ill use external HDDs for storage
>>59508315
1070's pretty sweet. They're also enormous. I don't really get /g/'s thing with tiny cases, except for the asian feel of being cramped in a tiny box and needing every cubic inch of space for your elbows or whatever.
>>59508315
sugo needs atx size PSU
8GB ram is not enough
RX480 is mediocre for 1440p
Why zotac ssd? Get a fucking 850 evo
>>59508337
Im justifying it as /trv ready
>>59508355
>8GB ram is not enough
Why is that? Everyone likes to fap to 16GB ram but is it really necessary? Especially right now when prices went up
>atx size PSU
any sfx to atx aftermarket brackets for corsair sf series?
>RX480 is mediocre for 1440p
Agree. I have old 1080p monitor right now and plan to upgrade to 1440p within 2 years. Not sure whether I should buy 1440p card right now or wait.
>Why zotac ssd? Get a fucking 850 evo
I know mostly jack shit about SSDs. Why is evo better?
Just installed Kali on dual boot Windows 10 and shocked to find that it can see and access the Windows 10 hard drive as well.
WTF? Does that mean I'll be able to access Kali from Windows 10?

Whats the best gaming laptop for 2k AUD and under, can anything beat the dell Inspiron 15 gaming?
>gaming anything
>>59507984
Honestly nothing it beats it for its value any competition is overpriced

I get a free laptop, so I may as well get one I can play games on, otherwise I wouldn't ever have considered a gaming laptop

Don't mind me just pirating this pirated thread!
> retards think creating a new copies of things won't lessen the value of said things
Sigh
Pirates never intended on buying the product first
They were either going to get it for free or not get it at all
But now that they have it for free, they actually advertise the fucking game for free
Literally nothing is lost, actually, sales are gained
You don't steal something, you just copy it

No, the body will start to break down and after a while there'll be a hole inside the concrete. The gasses created by a decomposing body will escape through concrete.
>>59507878
No, but additional pylons do.

My favorite sandwich hack is mustard. It allows for some of the best flavor/health combo and will last in a desert store room for many years in the hot arid weather.

What does /g/ think of my retarded diy hard drive case?
Sorry for the sideways photo, my phone doesn't know up from left.
>>59507786
Hard drives can get up to 120-130F 50-55ishC. Sticking them in cardboard isn't smart.

>Contestants at this year's Pwn2Own hacking competition in Vancouver just pulled off an unusually impressive feat: they compromised Microsoft's heavily fortified Edge browser in a way that escapes a VMware Workstation virtual machine it runs in. The hack fetched a prize of $105,000, the highest awarded so far over the past three days.

Hey bois, in the market to upgrade my gaming PC. I however am less than stellar when it comes to PC tech. Was wondering if anyone had any Ideas of what I could do to improve performance for modern gaming.
SPECS:
OS:Windows 8.1
Processor: AMD FX(tm)-4130 Quad-Core Processor (4 CPUs), ~3.8GHz
Memory: 8192MB RAM
Vid Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB
>>59507648
definitely kys will improve your gaming experience
Since you already upgrade your GPU which is one of the major factors in games performance, you should generally next upgrade that CPU of your and a speedy SSD .
