This is my daily driver for a few months now. Going well. Installed in like ten minutes. Should I even stress myself out installing Arch Linux?

I just purchased a used laptop and when I booted it up for the first time and searched around through the task manager I stumbled on 4gigs of cp being uploaded to a server. My question is how do I use the data I snatched before the upload was finished to bag me a pedo?
Information I took includes
>Mac address and IP address as well as some Google accounts in a text file that were also being sent to the server.(sloppy pedo rings)

Welcome to /fglt/ - Friendly GNU/Linux Thread.
Users of all levels are welcome to ask questions about GNU/Linux and share their experiences.

*** Please be civil, notice the "Friendly" in every Friendly GNU/Linux Thread. ***

Before asking for help, please check our list of resources[*].

If you would like to try out GNU/Linux you can do one of the following:
0) Install a GNU/Linux distribution of your choice in a Virtual Machine using VirtualBox or other software made for this puporse for safety purposes.
1) Use the Live ISO (if your distribution of choice has one) to boot directly into the GNU/Linux distribution without installing anything, that way, you can get to experience the GNU/Linux operating system without installing it.
2) Dual boot the GNU/Linux distribution of your choice along with Windows or macOS, this is recommended if you want to know more about the GNU/Linux operating system.
3) Go balls deep and replace everything with GNU/Linux.

Who else purchased Windows 10 today?

I did and it is worth every penny. I'm glad that I have not taken the free version because it is obvious that free systems spy on you, as with Android.

The Oneplus Two is the best bang for your buck phone available in two thousand and sixteen. Easily the most gorgeous and streamlined phone too.

Hi guys,

My current laptop for professional use can't keep up anymore and I've decided to get a new one.
Budget is around € 1.000 exclusive VAT.

My requirements are:

1) 15" or 17" screen, preferably 17" though (I also use a 27" external screen as second monitor)

2) Mobile i5 or i7 processor with multiple cores (HQ versions) of new generation

3) 8 GB or 16 GB RAM. I don't think it will matter now but 16 GB might increase lifespan as memory demand increases in the future

4) I know most professional laptops use built-in graphics but I've noticed that when you use dual HD screens and have a videoclip running on 1 screen and normal applications on the other screen the intel HD graphics get into trouble. So I would like to have a mid-range graphics card like a 950M or 960M

5) Has to have an SSD drive of at least 100gb. If m2 is really faster than the normal SSD's then of course preferably that version.

6) Has to have total capacity of at least 256gb but preferably twice that or more.

7) Needs to have HDMI, 3-4 USB ports etc all the regular stuff


I stumbled upon the HP pavillion 17 ab000nd as shown below (sorry for the dutch but the specs should be easy to understand)

https://tweakers.net/pricewatch/551635/hp-pavilion-17-ab000nd/specificaties/

and the Asus Vivobook Pro n752vx

https://tweakers.net/pricewatch/484669/asus-vivobook-pro-n752vx-gc084t-be/specificaties/


Would you consider these good choices or are there alternatives around the same price? Please do note that the shown price on this website is including 21% vat so they are within the budget of € 1.000

I have a light preference for the pavillion as it has a slightly better graphics card and a 7200 RPM HD + m2 SSD while the Asus only has a normal SSD and 5400 RPM HD. The issue is that Belgians normally use an AZERTY keyboard which isn't available on the pavillion. I type blindly and my current laptop is also QWERTY so perhaps I shouldn't let that decide.


What does /g/ say?
