Is XFCE the best desktop environment for laptops? Why or why not?
It doesn't have krunner
>Is XFCE the best desktop environment for laptops?
No.
>Why or why not?
Because Windows 10 exists.
For me, it is the best because I can make it a very minimal DE with little effort. On a laptop, it's all about maximizing my screen real estate.
Who do I ask for a refund and compensation for the time wasted on Linux?

>when you pay 105$ a month for a cellphone plan with unlimited data and they throttle you to 30 kbs
I know your pain. Don't have home internet currently. Phone plan has only 500mb faster internet (5ish mbit) and then throttles to 56k
I have 21MB 3G on my plan with 20Gb data.
Now for some reason it changet to 4G max speed and still says on management that I have only 3G.
I wont complain.
My gf has unlimited data and her internet was being slow at the time so i used her phone as a hotspot for my ps3, it worked but after a minute it disconnected and said that she does not own a hotspot subscription or some shit. Do unlimitedfags not get to use hotspot without paying?

There are four ways to try Linux, you can:
1) Install a Linux OS on a VM (Virtual Machine/VirtualBox) for "safety purposes"
2) Use the Live ISO directly without installing anything, that way, you can get a "full Linux experience".
3) Dual-boot Linux with Windows/Mac (recommended if you want to learn more about Linux)
4) Go balls deep and overwrite everything with Linux (not...

I'm trying to test my RAID pack.
How long should "mdadm --monitor /dev/md0 --test" approximately take?
I read somewhere that it should be "quick" compared to full scan, but has been stuck for about 30 minutes.
Assembling the pack took about 4 hours, two 3TB disks, SATA2.
The last output was
>mdadm: Monitor using email address "[email protected]" from config file
FUCK! What do I do!?!?!

Not sure what private trackers are all about?
The mission of /ptg/ is to promote the highest possible standards of tracker service by providing members with opportunities for professional development, by recognizing technical competence through examinations and by advancing the interests of its members.
Check out the wiki and update it yourself if you want more instead of complaining like a fucking faggot. https://wiki.installgentoo.com/index.php/Private_trackers

How beta do you have to be? I don't think the greek alphabet has enough letters to express the submission of the average nvidia fanboi

>there are people who fell for the 3.5GiB meme
>>52653661
Nvidia customers are generally just ignorant when it comes to technical minutae. They want to play their children's gaymes and don't care if it stutters a bit. Appealing the the lowest common denominator is almost always a winning strategy.

>there are people who buy team red products though they are inferior.
What matters is performance if you have money, and price/performance if you dont.
Anyone who votes for any team as mindlessly as a big part of /g/ does, is almost equally fucking retarded.
Also, >>52653661 is what you get when AMD is weak. So Nvidia fanboys are slightly worse than AMD fags imo.

I use GNU/Linux because the acceptance by fat neckbeards on /g/ fills the emotional void created by my abusive parents during my childhood.
Sansa Clip + have gotten overpriced
what's another good and cheap small music player that is compatible with rockbox and I can stick a microSD into with all my music in
Such a player doesn't exist.
Sorry bro, when the clip+ stopped getting made that was it.
You can't have good, cheap, small and microSD all at once anymore. Choose three.
>>52652712
There's a good, cheap and microsd music player? Do tell.
>>52652599
check the local best buy if they have any clip zips in stock
probably your best option

Is the Android ROM community dying? Paranoid Android is dead, AOKP is dead. All the big ROMs except CM are dead.
Is the dream dead? Are people just giving up and accepting stock Google Android now?

Replicant isn't dead
>>52652447
Yeah, but they don't have widespread support of devices because of the whole being 100% free thing./
I forgot SlimROMs, is dead too.

It's amazing really.
Two dozen manufacturers are shitting out hundreds of Android models yet NOT ONE is free as in freedom.
