Suse is indeed the best KDE environment to be in. Suse is to KDE what Redhat is to GNOME.
GTK -> Qt framework. KDE in general is a pile of shit.
Because is mantanined by 4 people who don't give a shit.
I've been out of the loop with linux for a while now. I have mint on my laptop which is used for webshit basically. By the middle of the year I plan on scraping up some hardware to make a dedicated linux desktop rig to use beside my gaymen rig.
What I'm wondering is which distros aren't shill owned or complete shit in terms of privacy. I'm switching to linux for everything web because win10 is an abortion of an OS.
Easy install and compatibility preferred for the distro if possible... I've spent multitudes of hours diagnosing and troubleshooting...

Arch isn't overcomplicated. The moment you have to resort to troubleshooting your OS you're basically doing the same shit you'd be doing on Arch.
>>54670150
based on the way you talk you should really be able to answer the question yourself, no?
debian.
What's your preferred video editing software /g/?
ffmpeg
>there are mazochistic people out there who unironically use Avisynth or fucking MELT as their go-to video editor
Contrary to my greentext I myself use Avisynth as a video editor. MELT had to many prerequisites to get running on Windows so I just fell asleep halfway through instructions.
adobe premiere and avid
anything else is home video usage only

Why the fuck is the new 4chan X making 4chan strobe in and out?
Because you're using chromeshit and not a proper browser, FAGGOT..blink{animation:none!important;}
>>54670102
Why would someone troll chrome users like that ;_;
>>54670119
Because you touch yourself at night.
4chanX devs bork sometimes. Nothing to worry. Check the github or wherever the code's hosted to get immediate help. Thank them too.
Cheers.

Mechanical keyboards are the shit
>>54670010
What did you do?
>>54670010
That works with any keyboard, including membrane keyboards. You can put them in the dishwasher and it'll pretty much be brand new.

hi /g/,
I'm going to be starting my first programming job next week (Student placement type thing). They said I'd be working with COBOL.
This will be my first programming job ever. What can I expect?
>>54669882
COBOL
>>54669882
just shoot up a little bit of meth before you show up so you look focused and energetic.
Imposter syndrome. Everyone will be better than you and you will feel like an autist. For every language you know there's a Asian that knows it ten times better
Hey /g/
Is there a discernible difference between 4k x 1440 x 1080 ? Does 4k make THAT much of a difference to 1440 and 1440 to 1080?
Fucking retard.
In terms of actual workspace? Yes.
Thing is most people just scale it so at best everything is just sharper.
4k is 4 1080p screens in one

Who else is addicted to using there phone? Wasting hours doing not much of any thing?
Off yourself.
>>54669759
I have a land-line.
Nice English Pajeet.
Can't quite tell whether phone addiction is an actual thing or just a bad meme.

Literally came here just to see if anyone else was having this problem. Started happening within the last hour or so.

Yeah same, it's not actually reloading the page though
What static site generator would you recommend /g/?

I don't know about static code generators, but what webserver mimics the look and feel of gopher? like this site: http://marmaro.de/prog/
>>54669727
sublimetext/vim/emacs
the generator is your hand
the motherfuckers in my country block facebook again. They even block tor. what should I do?
Follow in Mao's footsteps and revolt against an oppressive government
>>54669722
Change country.
I mean "what should I do the IT way". not the shit head way.
Thinking of switching from Linux mint to some Arch based distro, to explore the posibilities of AUR.
Used Qemu to try Manjaro, I didn't quite liked the distro, and now I'm trying Antergos, don't know yet if I'm going with gnome or with cinnamon.
What is there to know about these distros. Any one uses them around them?
>>54669719
I've used Antergos Cinnamon for a year and it's awesome and it's pretty light on the resources. I would suggest Cinnamon (from my own experience). I'll be installing Antergos KDE in a couple of hours probably and could tell you how that goes. I've used KDE on Antergos, but not for very long, because I've upgraded my PC.
>>54669719
Manjaro and Arch user here. Some minor technical details aside, Manjaro is basically the same thing as Antergos, except for what's preinstalled on it. Why would you use the other if you didn't like the former?
>>54670514
Actually, the reason I didn't like Manjaro is that KDE didn't quite convinced me. Although I love the theming they have.
I'm too used to Cinnamon, but I need to change to something else because it's used to crash, and become irresponsive.
I have to switch back and forth to CLI to make it responsive again.
I'm now trying the Gnome flavor, it still feels unconfortable, but I objectively think it's a good desktop environment to get used to.
Also, Manjaro takes 8GB in installation. Something seems off, It's way too much space.
I want to explore the Arch world, but I don't see myself installing Arch just yet.
So I need to upgrade my 5850, was thinking of

Should I do it?
Another fucking retard who is too stupid to realise AMD exists.
The 1070 and 490 are LITERALLY just a few weeks away. Don't be a retard

New /bst/ thread. The old one is near bump limit.
Screw Minimalism version.
>>54669664

>>54669717
Welcome to being poor.
I got everything in that image at a collective $100.
All the monitors and TV were free.
I'll just leave this here so tripfags can reply and try to prove it wrong.
