What is the formal, mathematical definition of computation?
>>51859463
how do you even define "computation" in mathematical terms? would maybe be the definition of a function, you got input, function and output

I have an asus eee PC 1201HA and I'd like to use it mostly to read documentation and to maybe do some programming although not as my main programming platform, essentially I want an auxiliary computer
what OS do you recommend that is light, minimalistic, but functional and also not a pain in the ass
Lubuntu straight away doesn't work so I don't know if any linux OS would work, basically the whole screen is blurry because apparently the drivers aren't compatible
Currently have arch linux on my netbook and it runs like a dream. Never knew netbooks could be this fast

Windows 7, install every update except the windows 10 shit, then disable automatic updates, disable unnecessary services, BAM! Best battery life ever.
Daily reminder you should donate to the FSF for your freedoms.
>>51858952
I rather donate to the electronic frontier
>>51858952
I hope the FSF goes under so proprietary software that deserves to prosper will no longer be attacked.
Am I free to reprint fiat currency without repercussion?
I will donate a copy of free as in freedom software. Freedom is worth infinitely more than restriction, so with that I will have more than filled their entire fundraising goal.

recently installed a linux distro. don't feel any different.

stick to linux
If it feels the same, you could just stay on linux.
install TempleOS
stick to TempleOS

>why size of 'i' is equal 4 bytes when the function var() is containing 16 bytes strings?
i is a int (you just initialized it one line above), and ints are 32bit=4bytes in 32bit programs.
Just because you assign the return value of a function that uses a string to i doesn't mean that it is changing it's type (in a static typed programming language like this).

I bought one yesterday.
Serves me well but i don't plan of using anything higher than 1080p.
Fuck no
At that price point you go AMD
Would it help accelerate Linux adoption on desktop if there was a way for normies to easily test out what Linux has to offer?
For example, a distro that offered usage tutorial at the start (similar to what Android does on it's first run), and use VirtualBox as wrapper, so that it can be installed on Windows and then ran in fullscreen mode, as if it was one of windows programs.
So normie would download 1-2GB windows executable (or just few KB downloader), get simple installer with one big "Explore Linux" button, wait few moments for progress bar to fill and then virtualised distro starts in fullscreen and offers a tutorial, which explains basic Linux concepts, how it offers multiple desktop environments and similar shit.
Last part of tutorial is how to close VM with distro offering "Return to windows" button instead of "Turn off" button.
Had to get that out of my head, plz upvote and subscribe
>inb4 normies can already do that with WUBI
still requires computer restart and offers user to fuck his own data up
>sounds great, i can make logo :^)
Great, send it to [email protected] and ask if it's inane enough for killer GNU plus Linux distro.
I still think that described idea would be more effective way of promoting Linux than those cringy videos Linux fundation makes:

Ubuntu does all of this. Use a LiveCD and test away. No commitment whatsoever if you don't like it.

The only normie thing linux lacks is a DE that looks and works exactly like windows.
>windows look and feel
>aero
>taskbar at the bottom
>start menu
>my computer
>control panel
>executables (without removing the software centre)
>NTFS (come on, just adopt it)
the look is most important for normies. if someone can do a Windows DE, i can personally guarantee that Linux's market share will become ten-folds.

HGST End of Story.
>>51858376
Thinking this is anywhere close to true. Seagate drives will fail early, and fail often. WD is better, but still shit. In ten years running a set of servers for my business, I can't recall a single HGST drive biting it.
>>51858415
I have a HGST it was dying on me. WD has never failed me. I have the HGST somewhere it's a 1TB drive, I'll probably re-use it soon. It was making grinding noise, but was still working, CryptoDisk or whatever it's called said it was on Caution
