Windows 7 because Ganoo/Linux doesn't have a system-wide parametric equalizer equivalent like EqualizerAPO.

Is MPC / MPV really that much better than VLC?
Review sites generally say there's not a massive difference between the two, however anonymous posters have called me a newfag for using VLC.
What am I really missing out on?

How does it feel to know that more people are still using Windows XP in 2016 than Linux.
Feels good. Windows xp is the best.
I could care less because I'm not an autist. I can't believe there are spergs on /g/, over 13, who give a shit about what OS people use.

Is it true that Deluge is the absolute best torrent client out there?
>>54578101
They are all shit in there own way. Just like the browser.
>>54578101
rtorrent is the only good torrent client
>>54578101
No because it forces you to seed, if you disable upload or set it low it will stop downloading.
Why on Earth do people spend $500 and more on "smart" phones EVERY 2 YEARS?
>>54578083
Because they have jobs and can afford it.
>>54578083
For the same reason you spend whatever money on whatever it is you like

So I built several computers, but this one is quite hard.
Budget is around 310$.
Came up with this:
Motherboard: ASROCK FM2A58M-VG3+
PSU: ZALMAN ZM600-LX 600W
CPU: Athlon X4 880K 4.00Ghz FM2+ BOX
Used stuff:
Memory: 4GB used, maybe 8gb if I can catch a good deal ***
VGA: Used, around 70-80$ ***
She wants to browse kikebook, watch jewtube, play vidya (Sims 3, 4, etc for example).
I checked the 880K's Passmark info, it's got a better single thread perf than my i7-950.

Some games already bitch for 4 cores, and I know even the games that came out weeks ago mostly use 1 or 2 ... but I can't really Teamviewer all the times to fix games and shit because they refuse to start.

I didn't think it's that hard to say it's shit or there is anything better, etc.

Can anyone tell me where would I start off to get into hacking? Ip tracking, ddosing, shutting down a site, changing my ip. What kind of code will I need to learn. Want to eventually learn the more advanced side.

Can you actually upgrade the processor on a classic thinkpad? I thought you could only add more ram/ssd? What is this?

>>54577880
the problem with upgrading laptop components is that they are all linked much more than in a desktop.
If you install a more powerfull cpu there are risk to consider. Is the batery/power supply gonna handle it? Will the fan be sufficent to cool the ekstra heat developed?

Cpus are soldered into them so please stop talking out of your ass.

That is not true, unless this is 1999
Wayland pretty much stable Gnome 3.20 in my experience, how is your experience about Wayland /g/?
>>54577811
non-existent.
>>54577811
I don't understand wayland.
It's not a replacement of X server. Yet it aims to replace X11.
What the fuck is weston actually?
>>54577885
Simply: Wayland is a protocol.
It's a resume what X11 did as protocol and program.
Weston is the "program part" of X11. It does the Windows and their composition.
Think Wayland as if X11 was killed, his soul purified of his sins and his new body is shinny and no a obese slob.
Oh, and Weston is some shit like his son.
I have to remove dust from the inner of my PC and put new thermal paste.

Why don't people just use Fedora for fucks sake, what the hell, how can they tolerate that kind of shit? 6 minute review videos and constant crash and error messages. Why the fuck are people using Ubuntu for anything? It looks physically painful. I'd rather install Gentoo in my anus than deal with any of those pieces of shit every day. How can the quality be so incredibly poor? Sad!

This usually happens in any ganoo linus fresh install. It usually fixes with reinstalling software.
