you didn't get tricked, Arch is for script kiddies, and it sounds like you aren't a script kiddie anymore

I believed friendly Linux threads would be friendly, and would be a great place to learn about Linux.

Only in ways I've yet to realize, possibly.

About a decade ago this place helped me build a PC which I only replaced because it grew outdated, despite still functioning perfectly well. /g/ getting me into Linux also helped me raise two weak netbooks into capable laptops, as well as salvaging cheap garbage computers for dirt poor college students to become independent from computer labs/libraries. As for phones, I even got a Moto /g/ and it's been awesome value for money.

Maybe the closest it's ever come has been outdated info in the wiki. That's about it.

IIRC 4chan now scrubs EXIF metadata by default.

Which is a absolute killjoy desu.

BTW how do you even have sex if your dick is so thick? I'd imagine any penetration would require loads of tedious prep.

i've been using arch for 8 years and almost haven't learnt anything, but it has worked without any issue

all distros are the same shit. if i were indian, i would say they are different shit from the same street.

just fucking use whatever the hell you want. because arch is dropping x86 support, i will have to switch to something else. because it is somewhat similar to arch i was considering void, but my hatred for spics is making me hesitate. will probably will start distro hopping for a while. maybe debian testing.

Other thick dick here. Lots of foreplay and letting her control everything, at least from the start. Even then there's only a certain amount of time she can handle it before the pain exceeds the pleasure. Doesn't help that I can rarely climax that quickly.

One of my exes was convinced she must have vaginismus. Consulted with her gyno and everything. Nope, it was just too much to ask of her cooch to accommodate me. Sometimes she'd grin and bear it until all the muscles and tissues down there could conform around me but it was a lot to ask. All the other women have been eager but far less persevering.

The only advice I've taken was on a pair of headphones, and I've been pleased thus far.

I have a confession to make. My penis is normal sized and I would probably enjoy sex in the missionary position. I also borrowed the kama sutra from my local library when though I don't have a partner. Anyway I use ubuntu seems to do the job although the ethnic sounding name is a bit much and should be changed to something which involves less cultural appropriation.

>>59821171

It makes most people feel stupid when they can't do it. SICP filters out those with weak minds, and they blame the book rather than themselves.

C does something very similar; giving people all the rope they want; and then doesn't stop them from forming a noose, and hanging themselves.

Yeah what kind of FAGGOT would work for GOOGLE and use a MACBOOK, haha what a cuck

>>59821162
I like C# alot though, that's why I got mad when I tried VS and /g/ always said it was bad. I was expecting Android Studio levels of bad.

>>59821171
SICP is an older book and could be well explained nowadays with modern books and modern languages. And I hate Lisp.

There's nothing wrong with C, specially if you aim to work with microcontrollers and embedded programming.

But for general purpose programming, specially nowadays, you could do better with modern programming languages such as Java, C# and Python. Even C++ is a better alternative.

However, learning C helped me a lot to know more what happens behind all that levels of abstraction, but for a day-to-day programming, it's useless for me.

It's alright but it has several flaws. I cannot understand how a bunch of autistic children can say the keyboard is superior when it flexes all over the place. Worst thing is, I fucked myself because the keyboard layout is different so if I want to resell this thing I will have to buy a replacement.

I installed Arch yesterday. It's retarded. I just copied the commands from some Youtube video. Where is the advantage of editing some file to choose your language? What is the point of editing some other file to add your user? What the fuck? It's stupid, stupid, stupid

I can understand wanting to set up your own partitions, but having an installer that does things like choose your language, keyboard layout, user name etc is not "bloat" it's just complete

Fuck arch.

Feel free to think I'm "stupid" for not thinking Arch is good. fwiw I installed it on my first try literally copying commands from a youtube video, just like all of you guys.

I'll stick with Ubuntu, a real distro for people who like nice things.

>>59820419
Hmm, got memed into trying Intel for a short while. The iGPU experience on GNU/Linux was as good as I was told. I did realise Intel isn't all it's cracked up to be though, my next CPU is going to be an AMD simply on principle.

They also got me to give Nvidia go, being a life long ATI/AMD user, once again: better GNU/Linux support but nothing special.

They made me try Arch, I'll agree, it's the best GNU/Linux has to offer but I'm too lazy to maintain it, Ubuntu is for me.

No, because I do my own research and don't fall for viral marketers and fanbois.
