Xubuntu for casuals
Arch for hobbyists

These are the only answers. We have this thread a million times a day. Fuck off.

Ubuntu 16.04
Unity/Compiz

Works OOB, 16.04 is the most stable one yet with most of the issues resolved for laptop users like wifi and audio.

Arch. It just works, unlike Ubuntu.

Same reason why uTorrent 2.2.1 is still the best torrent client.

Check out Piktures.

The pre-chink Quickpic crashes really often on Nougat. I had to get rid of it.

W10

windows 7

Just dont install any, if you have a brain, youll be fine.

>American adapter to turn it into a Japanese one
Japan and the US both have different mains voltages, so it's pretty fucking stupid.

>>57959307
Oh, okay,

Should I pull our the grounding pin directly from the cable so I can plug it into a 2 pin Australian to Japanese adapter?

With smart water

it was your typical mass distro migration that atypically became a shitty meme

same little gay psuedo outrage tantrum happened for grub2, pulseaudio, moving from gnome2 to gnome3, any time a major distro changes its default DE. Linux users consistently try to convert windows users by repeating "freedom" and "choice" but they flip nitro shit just like their grandpas when you ask them to change one little thing, forgetting in an instant what they've been preaching and then saying they're going for BSD.

Ask any flagrant forum shit about an angry rant you can point out to them that they made about any of the above and they wouldn't remember it 3 weeks later. The exception is systemd because hating it became a meme. At the height of it just on this board, you'd see a couple of threads per day of something like "I want to remove systemd so what's the best way to remove it? btw what's an init system?" They are so memed into removing it, that they don't even know its generic name.

and here we are a few years later as the meme is repeated and the majority of people still don't give a shit, except for the super contrarians that had to make a separate distro that nobody fucking uses.

The reason why this meme took off is because it tricks you into thinking you're a developer, kind of how like failure women try to pretend they are programmers by copying HTML. Why SPECIFICALLY do you need to not have systemd? nobody ever answered this and would just re-spout the same shit psuedo-answer about how it "is the wrong paradigm" or some other nothing.

The core problem of systemd is it is a rejection of the core tenant of unix: do one thing and do it well.
systemd is a monolithic blob that does dozens of unrelated things. If systemd was 30 distinct, independent projects each focusing on a tool to do just one function I would take little issue with it. However, it is a bundle of tightly integrated units that do not easily allow one to pick and chose them independently.

Such a design makes it hard to swap out parts with alternatives and makes it harder to replace as a whole. SysV was far from perfect, and I am happy to see new ideas, but systemd is a handful of good ideas bundled with dozens of terrible ones and the worst being there is no practical way to take the good and leave the bad behind.

The second one is a little more clear, runs no slower than the first, and does not involve and sort of cast to a boolean.
In general, you don't want to write stuff like

if (x == true)

but you should also understand that NULL does not "mean" false, in the same way that a float with value 0 and an integer with value 0 do not mean the same thing.
There's also something to be said about being explicit with your type casting, though I understand that there isn't a "bool" type in C.

>>57959450
>I understand that there isn't a "bool" type in C
There IS a bool type in C though.
It's just that conditionals don't require bool types, and will accept any integer, floating, or pointer type.

what a time we live in that you can look back and miss IE6 activeX, because everyone understood that only ill intented webmasters would expect you to enable it, so no useful sites used it.

how close is todays javascript APIs close to activex madness?
if all this mic api, vibration api, webRCT, webSocccertits, nsa.js, event handlers, eval(), XHR...

or did it surpass it already ?

3 Fractal Design Silent Series R2 140 mm, came with case
3 Fractal Design Silent Series R3 140 mm, R2 was sold out

>minimum voltages are different, R3 won't spin up on lowest setting of fan controller but they will keep running if I go medium and back to low

I bought a new case fan the other day only to realize I dont have a power connection on my mobo
