is there any other reason that people use arch though?

>>54894414
AUR, you get to choose what you want, not source-based like Gentoo is, quicker to install and use than Gentoo. That's my personal opinion, though.

>you get to choose what you want
you can choose what you want on pretty much any distro though. I know Debian lets you install a barebones system with no DE, no software, pretty much no nothing except the coreutils and such, and I know plenty of other major distros give you the option.
>AUR
A lot of distros have very big repos these days. and if what you want isnt in them no distro stops you from compiling it yourself.

look in the business class laptops.

Decent for me is "can use Linux" (I'm stingy with CPU/RAM/storage) and 6+ hours of battery life. There's so much of that being made these days for dirt cheap.

I know that feel.

16:9 is cancer on a laptop, and 99% of laptops today are 16:9.

You literally can't buy a 16:10 laptop with a good keyboard (like old IBM-made thinkpads), a trackpad with physical buttons, IPS matte screen, and normal BIOS compatibility, no forced EFI or funky shit like Macbooks or Chromebook Pixel.

They're not good either.

In actual development environments.

Decline and ask for reimbursement.

Then buy your own. There's a 99.99% chance they will charge MSRP, which will be be anywhere from 20-50% more expensive than what you get similarly by yourself.

Is this why american higher education is so overpriced?
They are surely charging this at a huge markup and got it dirt cheap by buying in bulk

14" is a great union between comfortable screen size and portability/battery life. That's it.

Go for it. Its basically Arch with an easier install.

had trouble with it last time i tried it too.

luks setup wouldn't go through at all.

>>54894092
I will try it later today

how are we supposed to know?

Lubuntu is a good choice. Even more minimal would be Ubuntu minimal or just straight up Debian testing. Lubuntu works out of the box, if that's important to you.

>>54894056
Yes, ubuntu is good. Just remember to install gstreamer/pulseaudio

Well I hate Ubuntu. Everyone does secretly, even the Ubuntu Developers/Users. At least thats my point of view.

I rly like Debian, but recently I switched to Fedora. Both working fine for me.

come on, when will learning things become obsolete?

Come on guys, I know some of you like KDE.

Xfce

I guess because audiobox usb is cheaper?

But I've had some issues with buzzing with mine.

>>54894015
Wait for it to go on sale for $99 and save $50. Great mic pre's and works well as a DAC. Good support on both OS X and Windows.

>>54894046
Your Audiobox?

I found a cheap NIB one on Craigslist.

Can someone help me install cde on freebsd. I follow the instructions at https://sourceforge.net/p/cdesktopenv/wiki/FreeBSDBuild/ but when I start it, it won't start up, it just keeps me at the login screen

Nobody cares. Go back to your irc circlejerk. Linux won over 10 years ago.

>>54894162
It's not a competition, shithead. OpenBSD is not a product being sold.

And even if it was, most Linux distros today include (depend on?) software authored by the OpenBSD project.

using namecheap for a .xyz, all is good.

Didn't know about hover, will investigate.

>>54893731
GoDaddy because like getting fucked in ass by renewal fees.

Their support is good though. The problem is have to need support. For domains though its straightforward.

>>54893731
name.com

the only good site.
