What does /g/ think of Antergos?

It seems interesting to me since it uses the Arch kernel and has the option of using the AUR but with a much simpler install.

Basically I've heard there are almost no COBOL programmers. I'm not really sure why this is since they apparently make a lot of money. I was thinking about working at my current job for like 2 years, teaching myself COBOL during that time, and then trying to get a job making bank as a COBOL developer.

Is this a bad idea? Does it make sense?

I'd like to buy one of the small ARM-based computers so I can use it for various things and offload some of the tasks that I do on my laptop.

I planned on buying a RasPi but recently I came across Orange Pi and on paper it's a MUCH better deal than RasPi. It has a much faster CPU/$$$ and connectivity.

I've read that OrangePi is also used in new Nintendo retro console.

So, anyone tried Orange Pi? Would you recommend it?

Rather than leasing their modem, I'm looking to buy a modem/router. The connection will be some dual-DSL connection that totals to 20Mbps. What modem aside from the ActionTec C1000A do you guys recommend?

>CenturyLink

Don't judge me, I've literally had NO problems with them whatsoever while I've had nothing but trouble from Comcast.

Anons, I need to be redpilled I'm considering this for my battlestation upgrade. I mostly like to watch series and play /v/idja. Did some research and saw it has a 8ms response time which seems 'ok' for a casual faggot such as I.

I think 4k is a bit of a waste for smaller than 30 inch screens (personally) am I wrong on that too? My viewing distance is between 1-2ft generally and I run a 1080 so I think it should be okay.
