Does memtest86+ use the Linux kernel? Can I pass a kernel option to it?
I just tried adding my option at the end of its linux16 something-something like, but it didn't work.
What's the equivalent of this

In Linux?

I don't use Sublime Text because I don't like its icon. How autistic am I?
Just change it you retard.
Very autistic. I don't like the icon either so I just changed it.
>>57914561
Very. I don't use Sublime because there's Vim.

What's the best linux os?
>>57914499
>Linux
You should probably stop promoting malware, OP.
Linux removes your PC's ability to collect data from you, thereby nerfing the world's progress in terms of software development.
Most people should know this.
>>57914499
4.8.13 is the one I would recommend.
Linux 16.10
how do i stop my friends from buying 1070s and convincing them to wait for vega?
use violence
>>57914480
We do not have an official release date for Vega.
When someone say shit like this >>57914496 then just stab them or smash a rock into their face.

How come nobody on /g/ has mentioned this???
>>57914396
Because it's not news. The full version of Windows 8 ran on ARM. If you rooted devices running Windows 8 RT you just had to compile your windows programs for ARM to have them run there.
>>57914396
> nobody on /g/
Search the archive.
>>57914396
>nobody
I guess it is nobody since the whole board isn't completely SPAMMED with this topic.
>why is this acceptable
Because Pajeeets will shill and defend anything that Microsoft does
That would just be the same as disabling automatic updates though.
>>57914389
This is not acceptable. Windows is popular because it is friendly and easy to use, but if they push people away enough, they will lose popularity.
How much money and staff would it take to launch an alternative to YouTube these days?
One Terry-tier person and enough money to run the site.
>>57914326
>and enough money to run the site.
and how much is enough exactly
>>57914321
A ridiculous amount, and you would be constantly be bleeding money.
I'm pretty sure youtube is not profitable at all.
What is the best Linux distro and why is it Solus?

What's the most butt blaster model of GTX 1080 right now?
>>57914255
The watercooled ones. Althought theyre not cheap.
Im wanting to watercool both my 1080s but im deciding whether to or just wait for the next set of cards and sell them.
>>57914391
Ain't water coolers slow to dissipate heat? Ain't that dangerous for a GPU?
Any of them will leave you buttblasted, especially when Ti comes out

I'm cleaning up part of my malware collection as it has grown too much in size.
If anybody is interested, I can give out download links before deleting shit.
>>57913900
would be interested.
>>57913900
Definetly interested..
Where did you get them?
>>57913900
I already have Windows which is all the malware I would ever need.
Gnome will never be THAT good
KDE just too bloated for me. There is million preinsalled applications that I never use. Gnome is nice because it's minimal and looks good out of the box(subjective I know).
openPEPE KDE master race
