If you've got a Windows 10 tablet with a decent atom processor, why not just use it in browser? Don't need apps anymore.

>>54326429
apps are more comfy. The new facebook and messenger apps are great and I feel somgood with multi tasking swipes

They used to be just phones, you 18 year old fool. Then they added cameras, then mp3 features etc until it came to the device you now call a "smartphone".

Americans have always been retarded when it comes to naming things.

>American "Football"

It's a fucking car
>"Band-Aid", "Kleenex", "ChapStick"
Just call them plaster, tissue paper, and lip balm instead of some brand name

>>54326381

Haven't done it myself, but everything I've read is that it does work, but is the very opposite of easy and plug-and-play.

There is no "Linux Desktop". Linux is just a kernel.

Thanks.

I do this daily when I step out of the shower, and sometimes when I get home from work.

I also wipe down my computer, keyboard, mouse, speakers, and monitor on a weekly basis.

I believe in taking care of your tech.

>>54326213
I clean as necessary. Back of my iPhone had those little dirt streaks so I knew it was time.

>>54326187
Just did that yesterday
don't forget to clean your mouse too

Anything cheap

There aren't many cheap IP65 or IP66 compliant laptops, tbqh.

I am using KDE Neon, nothing is fucking installed, not even file manager.

>>54325712
I just installed Arch (using Architect) and Plasma 5.6 + KDE Applications looks beautiful, nothing is behaving wrong or something like that.

>>54327693
Just wait till you have to update it. Hahahah

it's not a browser, it's a fucking mess

uninstall and forget about it

What is this? Internet Explorer 6 era? This is why tabs were invented.

>browser using more than 512MB
chrome is bad and you should feel bad. i never go over 512MB with firefox (on linux)

>>54325505
...continued

>Only one problem.
Firefox has been bashed constantly on /g/ since I stopped using it back in Q3 2015. People say it keeps getting worse. I start feeling uneasy. What if they're not just shilling? What if they're right?

>Windows 7 btw

Decide to try Firefox anyway.

>Want it to be fast. Will need e10s (multiprocess)
>Pick Aurora (dev edition for you newfags)
>PC complains I need administrator access.
Fuck. I knew it was too good to be true. Click cancel on the administrator popup.
>Aurora finishes installing anyways and opens.
>Mah nigga

I spent 5 minutes on Aurora, customizing it, changing the theme to light, etc. Here are my results after 2 days usage.

>ultra fast, like no lag whatsoever
>100% stable
>looks incredible. No seriously. Australis theme is gone.

tl;dr
I thought people on /g/ were bashing Firefox because it's bad. Boy was I wrong. They're just a bunch of tools shilling Chrome because it's "popular".

Fucking normies have infiltrated /g/

>>54325505
Forgot to mention, Chrome used 500MB. Aurora used 300MB, despite being multiprocess and having as many tabs open as Chrome.

I can't wait for multiprocess to come to stable channel. Firefox is still the best.

isn't tar just this?

cat filea fileb filec > derp.tar

>>54325562
No. tar is a fucking mess. There is a total of 5 different standards, and at least 3 types of headers.

A tar file is consisted of 512 byte blocks of files+headers+fill of zeros.

Ther zeroes are needed so that total number of bytes % 512 == 0

+ all shit for some reason is in octal in the headers, so a shitton of conversion is needed, thats why mine is so slow

>>54325562
Lolnope. You're talking about concatenation. Why would we need tar if cat can do it?

just install ubuntu like everyone else that doesn't know what they're doing when they get into *nix

>>54325311
Ubuntu => botnet

No thanks man

you know best what is for you.
step one:
find the updating schedule you are comfortable with.
Like how often do you want to deal with updates?
Every day?
Every month?
Every six months?
Every couple of years?

step two:
Figure out what you expect from your package manager.
Should it enable services and write the configs as it installs or would you rather do those things yourself?

step two:
find the type of DE you think you want?
Lightweight where only the basic things are provided and you implement the rest you need or something where a lot of things is implemented and you pick and choose between what is available?

It takes a lot of trial and error and usually you come across something that fits your needs.

Ubuntu is a good starting place for most people.
It has a new release every 6 months and a stable release every 2 years.
Updating usually breaks everything, so people often just installs it all over again but you can learn to fix it so you won't have to do that.
Other popular distros are debian, fedora, opensuse and arch.

As for desktop environments, you should know what you want, but if you don't have a clue, try the different ones out and see what you think.
KDE has a lot of features and if you like graphical settings, that is probably the best DE for you.
Gnome is more focused on polish, if you want something pretty that is probably really good for you.
Mate and Xfce doesn't use as much resources and the changes happen a lot slower.
You could also build your own, but then it is important to correct people that you are using a WM, and not a DE because you are using an arbitrary subset.
Unity is the default on ubuntu which did have an online search feature, but since everyone disabled that, I wouldn't call it a botnet.
It is a bad DE for a slew of other reasons, so unless you really want to use that, just pick something else.

I do, keep it on a fucking word doc or on a notebook like a normal person.

You have to go back.
