>some thinkpads are equipped with intel optane memory. this is optaneal
There is literally not point having Optane memory at this point. It has the worst starting release of any memory as it requires decent sizes before it really kicks in with the speed benefits but instead you get a shitty 16GB or 32GB.
kaby lake was a mistake
the only windowns it supports is 10
it got me to finally make a total switch though

It's a sad state of affairs when "no bloatware" is a selling point.

Should I "install gentoo" or stick with Arch Linux?
It's fun to try out new things!

Love you linux-kun!
What do FOSS developers usually do for a living?
The ones not employed by any company to do FOSS development.
Do they work as proprietary software engineers?
Do they contribute to free software only in their spare time as some kind of hobby?
Are there non programmers who contribute to free software?

Eat toe nails.
What's your excuse for using a mobile OS developed by an advertising company?
Alphabet is not an advertising company
>>58509879
better than a mobile os developed by a bunch of fruits

Under-appreciated comment
You can buy a mac, you can buy a pc. Why can't you buy from a store a computer that has Linux pre-installed ?
who cares linux
>>58509834
macbooks come with OSX by default because fapple produces both hardware and software and microdork has contracts with hardware manufacturers
linux sucks
Post your component list, rate other anons', ask questions in general.
Always state the purpose of your PC, your budget, and your country if outside the USA.
If you are asking for improvements, clarify whether you want to lower price or to improve specs or build quality.
>Assemble your parts list with price comparisons by vendor and compatibility filter.

>Have a budget, but don't know where to start? This will recommend you a parts list based on price.

General Tips:
>Consider an i5 instead of an i7 if you are not a content creator
>Consider stock fan+heatsink for any i3 or locked i5 build
>Consider a B150 mobo for any i3 build
>Always consider an SSD for your build
>General build advice including chipset compatibility, power supply advice, Windows activation information.

I think hes actually not half bad
Best SSD manufacturers? I am reviving a 4 year old Asus laptop with a ssd. Currently looking at Intel 540s 120GB (on a budget) which is 69$ Canadian.
Main reason is for indel quality / reliability / warranty.
Thoughts or opinions?
Intel**
>>58509788
samsung,from my experience intel is shit. I had pic related in OP and it stoped working after 2 days... quality control 0
>>58509778
General rule irrespective of manufacturer: MLC > TLC
Samsung > Intel <> Crucial > Some SanDisk SSDs > Kingston > Post-Toshiba OCZ > Most SanDisk SSDs <> Corsair <> Pre-Toshiba OCZ

How do we kill Linux?

BSD is shit face it cuc k.
Attention fellow IRC shit-loads-lards:
It has come to my attention, by which I mean, one of my colleagues, by which I mean, another turbo-fat-lardass PM spammed me, that linux is too mainstream.
It's easy.
*tips fedora*
We simply kill the linux.
Now then, how do we go about this, since 4 years ago I was autistically-"ironically"-recommending it to my friends, who all have left me and have careers now oh god
*ATTENTION DO NOT SAY MY NICK IN IRC ANYMORE IT MAKES A NOISE AND MY PARENTS HATE THAT SINCE THEY DON'T KNOW IM HERE SINCE THEY "KICKED ME OUT" 10 YEARS AGO AND I AM IN A SECRET LOCKED CLOSET*
windows = 2mainstream
>10 years pass, explodes
linxu = 4mainstream
>20 years pass, explodes harder
BSD = 8 mainstream
>40 years pass
Graveposters only, a graveposter is something that I just made up, it's pro-turbo-bsd users who don't use 99.99% of software and "just wait" and suddenly I'm 80 now. Also I am banning you all from this chat.
