Hello /g/,

I switched from win 7 to win 10, and even tho I installed the newest drivers for my graphic card, and did all the windows updates, it seems like both my monitors displays look a whole lot worse than they did on windows 7. Is there anything I should know, or did I fuck up switching to win 10?

Say I only have one set of peripherals that I want to alternate using with my desktop and my laptop (the laptop will leave the home office daily while the desktop stays put). If I don't want to plug the KVM cables to the laptop each time I want to use it, is the only solution a Docking Station + KVM Switch? The KVM would stay permanently connected to the docking station, and I would just dock the laptop whenever I want to use it with the peripherals. Is there a more elegant solution?

I'm new to the freetard community and am having a hard time pinning down what means what. I want to make my phone free of proprietary crap and make it as secure as possible. To do that, I'm doing all the "babbie's first x/y/z and familiarizing myself with the community.
>to make it simple, I'll spell out what I'm trying to understand and any corrections or advice would be appreciated

I own a Samsung Galaxy S4. On it is the android operating system. Because Android is developed by google, inherently the software may have backdoors or possible botnetting.

So I am now going to root the device, and replace it with a custom OS so that all the software is FOSS. Options from the wiki include Cyanogenmod, Paranoid Anroid, and Replicant.

Questions:
1. Apparently cyanogenmod has become corporate? Has anything been done to infringe on the privacy of the user?

2. Replicant has few supported devices, all of which are older, as well as the OS itself not having had a new release in a year. Doesn't this inherently leave it vulnerable to new threats or other problems?

3. As far as possibly choosing a new phone, for all the phone generals and info on the wiki, a lot of opinions seem to be given as to which is best for privacy/security without much of a consensus. Is there somewhere where all of the merits can be compared?

4. Do things like secdroid work with replicant?

Also, just any advice on security and tips for someone making the switch would be appreciated. I feel like what I'm asking is common and if there is a nice infograph or page on the wiki I'm ignoring please let me know.

pic related is what i'm about to swipe on - current system is

TZ77XE3
i5-3570
550 Ti

Getting the SSD coz i currently have a 32gb SSD for my OS, which was a mistake.

Are there better deals out there?
I basically just went to pcpart picker and found the highest reviewed stuff for my budget (wanna keept it at least sub 250 for both - or 250 for the card, could do the SSD later, i just feel real dumb for getting the current SSD I have)
