Yes.

Yep.

Android has a strangehold on the market and is fully customizable after root on top of being based in Linux. Literally no reason to use it.

i was stoked for the ubuntu phone release when i heard about it but it ended up being worthless

You're a spoiled little weak faggot.

Clone it, find the change, revert, build, use as userscript instead of extension, done.

In reality, yes. But you have to think that virtually all systems are breakable.

Leaving deep philosophical subjects aside, ElementaryOS looks nice, haven't use it myself but some folks like it.

Just remember to backup your stuff and save them in a separate drive, and maybe try the distro you like in a pendrive. You can try almost any distro by creating a LiveUSB, or install it in virtualbox. Check that.

>Is Linux really more safe than Windows?

That's relative. It's safer because most of its software comes from official repositories maintained by a lot of people, and the software is signed.

It is technically possible to catch a virus if you install a random program from somewhere untrusted.

But yeah, in practice it's much more safe than Windows. Updates are delivered soon and often which make sure you're not supcetible to exploits or the like.

I'd recommend running a distribution of GNU/Linux in a virtual machine and try it out. Make sure you can do everything you normally do on windows. Back up your data in an external disk if possible, and when you're ready, run a live version to check if your system is compatible (which almost usually is).

I personally run Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, and I'm pretty satisfied with it.

I wouldn't recommend 16.04. I have it, and I've seen that a lot of popular software for it hasn't updated from 14.04, and it's buggier to boot. I would definitely go for 14.04.

Memes aside, is there a single situation where this crazy cable would help anything or make any visible difference?

>>58815561

The purpose behind using a digital cable instead of an analog one (drm aside) is that a digital cable will either work perfectly to specification or not at all, whereas an analog cable will always perform at a certain percentage of its peak theoretical performance.

If the digital cable is displaying something, anything at all, then no, there's no way to further improve performance.

when a game system requirements say i need "Graphics: 384 MB of RAM" do they mean overall memory or dedicated memory?

i have:
Total Available Graphics Memory: 2132 MB
Dedicated Video Memory: 128 MB
System Video Memory: 0 MB
Shared System Memory: 2004 MB

do i meet the requirements?

and when they say "Graphics: 512MB Video Memory" do they mean something else when it's "video memory" instead of "ram"?

does anyone know a way to get around omegle's captcha system

Redox OS
Mezzano
Oberon

OpenBSD

alright besides being Unix derivative, I've found AIX pretty cute, but I suppose it only operates on Power chips right?

windows

Try out Ubuntu first. You can even run it off a usb stick to test drive. It's super easy to install and pretty user friendly compared to other distros.

>>58814192
In order of least to most stable: Fedora, OpenSUSE, CentOS.
Fedora is the most cutting edge of the three.

Those adds are already blocked. Just add the extra list. On ublock it is NOT enabled by default but it's there, listed, wating to be clicked.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Unironically fedora. You'll need to learn to use selinux, and not just "setenforce 0." Don't forget grsec, ossec. Maybe rkhunter if you're feeling paranoid, but you'll have to configure it every time you change something or it'll give you loads of false positives.

Honestly grsec is the only important thing in that list, assuming you know how to use iptables to block all incoming traffic

It does not matter as long as you use insecure hardware

You know I've heard that before, but I really don't find those grades or accomplishments really that impressive. Moreover, it doesn't justify the autistic resume in my opinion.

I mean everyone I know is quick to point out that the dude has a 3.98, but that's in major. Everyone's in major GPA should be high if they're remotely serious about doing well in school (it's literally what you fucking signed up to study). The overall GPA includes stuff like underwater basket weaving, racketball, wellness, and other gen ed classes.

When applying for graduate school, I was told to not even consider doing it unless I have at least a 3.6 overall. A 3.7 makes you somewhat more competitive, but it doesn't really do a whole lot of justice.

Also, writing your favorite IDE as VIM on your resume? Come on dude...
