What distro should I choose?
>>56281615
install gentoo
>>56281615
If you have to ask, the correct answer is Ubuntu.
CentOS
Okay faggots so what is the #1 absolutely greatest and most bestest programming language?
It's not yet reached Earth but some day it will come and liberate us from the tyranny of shitty Algol clones.
>>56281675
Haskell arrived quite a while ago
Assembley

your degree might be a meme, just a thought

We have entire classes for learning how unix-like systems works as well.
And when I was still in school I used to play around with my debian VMs.

How does /g/ live with RSI? Tricks and tips welcome.
i don't.
i tried a ton of retarded exercises, and i even bought this retarded thing you see here having heard good things about it.
eventually, i gave up, and just resorted to avoiding further damage by keeping my elbows above a 90 degree angle at all times,
always having my wrists resting on something, and I even wasted money on gelpad that i still use to what is probably for no avail.
a year after i gave up, i had a sudden impulse after crying like a moron at how my wrist pain would never go away and how
i'd always have the grip strength of a baby: i bought a 100lb resistance hand grip.
in a week or two of using it, the pain and numbness was gone, and i could finally clench my hand without it feeling incredibly uncomfortable.
i can't tell you if it's a good idea to go straight to it without letting your wrists "take a break", so-to-say, and i can't guarantee you
it won't make it worse, but it solved my problem.

Replace your mouse with a Wacom tablet, just a cheap one will do. This keeps your forearm bones from crossing too much. Also make sure your elbows and wrists have support and the weight is not all on your palm.

Yes I have you fucking CIA nigger.

Does it do paging? :^)
>>56281544
Paging is, basically, not used.
Got a thinkpad x130e
It's my 2nd thinkpad. Super cute device, rounded corners, rounded lid, just generally adorable.
I currently have mint, debian, and os x installed on various machines throughout the house. What should I install on this new bad boy? I'm only going to use it for web browsing, pdf reading, light scripting with R and Python, stuff like that.
* Need a GUI of any kind
* Not Ubuntu-based
* Free as in freedom
* Not /g/entoo or arch
Trips decides what I install. Dubs decides what wallpapers I'll use. Quads decision is god's will on my computer.
>>56281437
Which one did you get? Intel or amd?
>>56281445
amd
tripsroll: gentoo (despite last exclusion)
dubs roll: some space nebula, etc
quads roll: that it earn you lots of money from your planned development with it (6 figures at least)

Was randomly browsing Ebay to see how much prebuilds are going for these days and found some truly awful builds
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Intel-i7-4790-Quad-Core-4-00GHz-1TB-16GB-AMD-R7-240-2GB-Gaming-PC-CSR-/191634014392?hash=item2c9e4700b8:g:U0sAAOSwDNdVp5sg
>i7 4790
>R7 240
>nobrand PSU
Why do these even exist?
Because people are stupid and can't be bothered to spend 5 minutes researching something.
>>56281345
>Why do these even exist?
Because people buy them
What's wrong with the i7 4790?
The only bad thing about this build is the obsolete video card. For a build that fetches $620, let's say you pay about $100 for the build being made for you, that makes it $520 for a sub-standard gaming PC. That's a fair price.
So, before I was trying to get an IGN forum account using Tor, but the site is not allowing me. Any Idea? I need a fake account, but I don't want my mai account to be banned.
Don't use Tor.

I also tried using a site that let you borrow an IP (newIPNow) and it still doesn't work.
>>56281554
Try borrowing an IP from your ISP.

What is this place? I am very concerned for my son's mental health. As he was asleep, I looked at his bookmarks bar. He had a lot of them. I clicked on the "/b/" one, and found very disturbing pornography. I clicked on "/pol/" and there were nazis.
What do I do about my kid?
>>56281223
>What do I do about my kid?
Smother him with a pillow.
Oops, here's the clearer screenshot!!
/g/ is technology
/b/ is where people go to act like idiots
/pol/ is where people go to act like nazis
Block b and pol and probably g too, we don't want edgy kids here
it really funded.

looks dumb
>>56281217
Looks cool, a shame it has an Allwinner CPU.
>>56281217
It's funded. Pretty niche solution being that it's only an allwinner a20 with 2gb ram. It's about as powerful as an old atom smart terminal.
because there wasn't one before
weird hardware edition

Recently installed awesomewm on my desktop, everything is normal, except Konsole always runs in floating mode, whether I launch it from dmenu or from cmd return.
I run the same rc.lua at work and this doesn't happen.
I even appended{ rule = { class = "konsole" },and restarted awesome, still happening.
properties = { floating = false } },
What should I do?
what is the linux equivalent to this?
>>56281096
I didn't like POObar even when I used be a wincuck. Then I got a job and only listen to music in cars these days. It's just a fucking music player, audiophile autist. Use anything.
>>56281126
thank you for your input.
Install Windows 7.
If you host your PC on Teamviewer and let someone access it remotely from their desktop under your supervision for like 10 minutes.
Can that person somehow be like stealing your personal information and files without you even knowing it?
Even if your watching what's happening on the screen
PLS no memes
Well...maybe a couple..
Yes.
>>56281181
How?
