>hp omen
I legit thought you meant omen as in a piece of shit, good god hp fucking sucks at naming shit.

>Since my Omen had only 256GB SSD I decided this partitions were taking too much space, and decided to delete them! However, there is one important fact: HP does not give you serial key for Windows, instead you have to restore them from recovery partition when you want to reinstall them. In order to be able to reinstall Windows in future, you either have to keep the recovery partition on disk, or you can save it to external media, like USB, using HP Recovery Manager, which is already installed on Windows. I used it to save recovery partition to USB (it took 13GB of space), and then I deleted all partitions except for Windows and UEFI.

Also I guess I'm confused by grub console because that's normal for linux, much like if you had a dual boot system where windows prompts for selection.

Do you mean it straight up boots to a cli? Then just startx and it should boot normally after that.

>>56332052
Also I should ask why not try fedora 24? I always got better life out of my x220 compared to it running windows 10 now on it.

Application suggestions:
- Total Commander (free / BBWorld): Great secondary file manger ported from Android. Can do things like search within text files and other documents. Also comes with a nifty built-in text editor, media viewer, and audio player.

- Browsie Browser ($2.99 / BBWorld): Alternative web browser that's fast and clean like the stock browser, but sports a bunch of extra features, like ad-blocking that actually blocks network connections to ad-servers. Perfect for when you're only on mobile.

- Renamed Todo (free / BBWorld): Task list management application that actually follows the widely used ToDo.txt format / conventions. Can mange todo.txt files both locally, and in the cloud.

- No Tag Player (free / BBWorld): An audio player for those times when you put a bunch of untagged music on your phone, and just want to play it by directory and file name. While the stock music player is fucking great in every other respect, that's the one feature it's missing.

- FBReader (free / BBWorld): While it's another Android port, it's hands down the best eBook reader for BB10.

- Term48 (free / BBWorld): Fantastic terminal emulator.

- TxtEdit (free / BBWorld): Handy minimalist text editor that supports syntax highlighting.

- WaveRecorder (free / BBWorld): Does what it says. Records audio in uncompressed .wav format, and does it well.

- File Diff (free / BBWorld): A graphical interface to diff. Useful.

- FaceSlim (free / BBWorld): An Android port for FaceBook that actually respects your privacy and freedom.

- Contacts ImEx (free / BBWorld): Export single contacts, or all of them, to vCard or CSV files.

If you need standard Android apps, BlackBerry 10 devices can install APKs natively. I myself use the F-Droid and APKPure applications, and have never seen the need to download any apps from Amazon.

It should also be noted that some BlackBerry 10 devices support wireless charging OOTB (via power mats and the like). My Classic does and it's fucking amazing.

Even the anal retentive fucksticks at ArsTechnica like it: http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2013/02/review-blackberry-10-is-better-much-better-late-than-never/1/

And that's 3 years ago, before updates that fixed the miniscule issues it had (maps and voice recognition are now perfect).

Debian!
Sincerely the best OS, be sure to use XFCE with it, Ubuntu is trash
good ones are
Debian (best one out there)
Fedora
Trisquel (only if you are a freetard)
(pic is my retro Debian desktop setup) Linux is great for customization

NICE!
I run rasbian and I've also riced the desktop to look like win98/95. Your themes and icons look much better than mine though to be honest.

Can you share your screensaver? Looks dope

>>56332017
Yeah loads of times, it should work.

>>56332017
I mean it can't cause any more harm right? Unless a cap pops and fills your kitchen with tantalum gas...

>>56332017
I've had more success doing this with nVidia cards than ATI's. My recipe was preheat 475 Degrees F for 10-15mins. Any longer and it fried the board lol. Best o luck OP. ATI fanboi fur lyfe

>>56331959
Used Xeons exist.

>>56332789
Im not sure what model you are reffering to, but the ones i saw has single core speeds kinda sluggish compared to the I3... Meh...

>>56331959
It's a fucking dual core cpu. At least put an additional 50 bucks down for a 6400.

>>56331977
Thanks, I'll try that out eventually when I root this thing. Just got it today.

There wouldn't be any chance of being able to do it without rooting, is there?

>>56332002
don't know because i've always used custom roms anyway
even on recently purchased phones the first thing i do is rooting

I've got one. I really like it. I think it's pretty solid and works well for all that I use it for, though my uses are pretty basic. The 32GB is pretty limiting in my opinion, though. I can't fit all my music on it.

It's pretty sleek, and it can definitely survive a fall

Limited because you can't fit all of your music or for other reasons?

>>56331873
Primarily the music, but yeah, just that 32GB can fill up pretty quickly, unless you're really barebones. It's a shame they didn't implement a SD card option for this one, which I think returned for the S7 active

I wouldn't mind a flip phone if it supported YouTube, Spotify & a full fledged HTML5 browser.

>>56331637
Why would I be mad? I don't give a shit.

This runs android

Keep a lookout for deals. I got my Kindle 3 for 20 bucks and it's nearly as good as the modern stock Kindle. As a bonus I ordered a regular one with Special Offers© but it turned out to be a 3G version which can't have Special Offers.

>not buying those cherry switches which arent loud

maxium kek

>>56331343
i was assured the shitty poorfag blue switches wouldnt be too loud but here i am clacka claka claks

>>56331336
Brand new cherry blues are a little louder than when they get used enough

After about 5000 actuations you'll barely notice it

Corsair is better

>>56331283
They are worth the price. I have all noctuas in my case and it's dead silent.

>>56331283
You can find fans cheaper that are as good but if you're okay spending $10-20 more on guaranteed quality then get them

>>56331236
Does it have skype? Qbittorrent?

>linux with even less support

>>56331236
No drivers, Nvidia or USB3 support. Can't do wi-fi without major reconfig and doesn't come with a media player.
