So /g/ if you had $500 to spend on a NEW (none-refurbished ) lightweight (must be under 3 lbs) laptop to run Linux on what would you buy?
Thinking about getting pic related if I can swap out the SSD. But something with a bit more grunt and a touch screen would be nice

be careful with low tier laptops with "SSD"s
Majority of them are either soldered to the board or part of the board itself.
Havent seen one with a serviceable "SSD" but im not going to say it doesnt exist.
>>
>>57002428
Make sure the SSD is replaceable.

$500 on a Grade A off-lease notebook will do you even better than whatever you can get new.

Windows sucks, uninstalling this shit right now.
This shitty OS simply isn't ready for mundane task like backing up files.

Is this real life?
I've never seen this phenomenon for any other software project.
Would it be inappropriate to register an account and start chatting with these girls?
I failed at dating sites and failed at most forms of social media (note /g/ presence), but I think it's all about finding a good supply-demand ratio, one where you're pretty much the only dude available for conversation.

Are seagate drives legitimately low quality and prone to failure?
I've had 3 1TB seagates that I got a great deal on a couple of years ago and they've been working great in raid 0. Should I be worried?
It's not my primary drive, that's my 240gb mx100.

I've got 6 250GB seagate laptop drives, all still working perfectly fine.
What's some fun I can have with them? Thinking of just doing raid 0 to store files for my HTPC, nothing important.
What are some other suggestions?

try em' all before you get hooked on arch

Why does MATE exist when Gnome Classic is perfectly usable?

Perfectly useable doesn't mean people actually want to use it.
When Linux meets Apple in terms of graphical design it will be the year of Linux. Until then it will remain an obscure OS
>>
>>57001759
because GNOME classic still uses GNOME 3 applications. Just because the desktop looks like GNOME 2 doesn't mean it has the same underlying technologies such as GTK+ 2.0

why do people use gnome classic when there is gnome with the application menu turned on? it makes gnome classic unnecessary
gnome classic doesn't have that bar on the bottom. if it wasn't for that they would be similar

Definetly Arch.
If you dont know, how to set it up, use Manjaro. Its based on arch.
If you dont like Manjaro, just go with Xubuntu, it uses xfce which is best xP
>>
>>57001466
There is no best distribution.
Only levels of usability.

Stick with me guys.
I've never been on this board before but I got a question for you.
Is it possible to built a mini emp generator that can:
1 Be portable
2 Look like the doctor who sonic screwdriver
3 Have differents setting and power like:
level 1: turn off the light/ turn on the light
level 2: turn off the light permanently
level 3: explode the light bulb
level 4: turn off every light in ex. 2 kilometers range
level 5: Explode all the lights bulbs in 5 kilometers range?
Is possible to build such thing? I have funds and time. a lot of funds. Obviously i'm not talking about army tech, so you think that a normal guy, In his basement with a lot of money could build this kind of tech?
Let me know
