Linux-Libre 4.8.9, literally just compiled it and I have no screen tearing now and things load much faster now
>>57609406
Kevin please leave
I'm liking 4.8.7
Whichever one is appropriate for the job
>>57609406
Fuck off with arch. It's a pathetic excuse of a distro
>>57609021
Whatever you like the best. Try each out for yourself and find out which is the best for you.
>>57609191
>the ones that have 9 year old exploits and that give you root access if you press enter for 90 seconds or backspace 28 times are the best ones
dumbass
3.10-3.18 because it's the least bloated with the most features
>>57609218
>>57609974
If you encrypt your drive there is no access to personal files.
The same level of access can be achieved in many different ways once someone has physical control of your computer anyway.
Furthermore the bug will be fixed, unlike closed source programs where you have to trust Microsoft etc.
>>57609406
Gentoo isn't only for bragging rights, it's the only way to escape the systemd botnet (unless your machine supports FreeBSD).
>>57609974
It was patched in 4.4.26
>>57609406
>Gentoo
Because of hardened and use flags also source based distro for the win and portage
>>57610207
>it was patched
That's what they said 9 years ago. Fuck you.
>>57610233
>triggered wincuck
Linus admitted that he didn't patch that bug when he saw it. Now that the bug has been found, it has been patched in the older and newer kernels.
>>57609021
gentoo
...compiled backwards recursively from a series of gentoos running in VMs on gentoo
then when it gets a stack overflow you rewrite all the drivers for no reason and install gentoo on the bios
>>57609974
Yeah, and 2.x doesn't have those 9 year old exploits?
Retard.
Linux 3.11 for Workgroups
>>57610653
No, actually 2.6.21 was the last version before they introduced it.
