What are the differences between Manjaro and Antergos? Which one is less bloated after installation?
Which one is the better lazy mans Arch?
Antergos is close to pure Arch, they use Arch repos and have one small repo of their own for a few extra things. The installer is flaky as shit.
Manjaro is more heavily modified and use their own repos with no clear policy on how and when they hold back or release packages.
Both come preconfigured with whichever DE you choose and a GUI packagage manager (pamac).
Architect is the best option for newcomers rather than either of the spinoffs, it gives you a basic installer script to get pure Arch the way you want it in ~15 minutes.

Architect seems like a good alternative.
I'm not a newcomer, I have been using different distros for a while and I'm too lazy to install Arch from scratch.
Remind me why should I install Windows 10.

Really want rid of my iPhone. Anyone with the Oneplus One think it's good? Pros/cons?
>>51436164
Got one like a month ago, even though it's a year or two old now.
Pros:
-Looks and feels nice
-Nice big screen
-Cheap
Cons
-Camera is pretty shitty
I'm not ricing it out like all the other dopey motherfuckers and eating up battery like a motherfucker, so if I'm not really using it for much I can go for 2-3 days without charging, maybe even more.
With a day of good use though it's still only around 50% by the time I charge it at night again though. Battery was one of...

See if you can get a OPPO Find 7 where you live and compare. Find 7 seems the better deal right now.

just slap a CentOS on that bitch + RAID
>>51436190
Will this work with many different kinds of HDD's?
>>51436190
Stop giving advice on shit you don't understand.
Op, do not RAID dissimilar drives. It's bad form. You can use them in software defined storage which accomplishes the same thing differently. Check out greyhole. It's a JBOD system that leaves the drives independently readable should a drive in the array go tits up. It will have no problem with drives of dissimilar makes and sizes. There is no redundancy so you have to do that yourself. Usually it involves making two disk pools and setting up...

This. Glad I'm not the only one to notice it.
Just let us set some fucking DNS resolvers on the HomeHub, BT! I don't want to use your shitty fucking unreliable DNS!

... and why are you using BTs DNS?
Need to upgrade my GPU for Fallout, was thinking of grabbing this due to it being the same price as a 2GB version:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Gigabyte-GV-N960OC-4GD-Express-Graphics-Cards/dp/B012G7VCGU?tag=hotukdeals03-21
Just found a 380 for £120 though it only has 2GB: http://www.novatech.co.uk/products/components/amdradeongraphicscards/amdr9380series/vxr9380-2gbd5-dhe.html#utm_source=tradedoubler&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=1018132_HotUKDeals
Which one would you guys recommend? I cant really go more than £160, if i could i would prolly get a 970.
>even considering a Maxwell below 980
You're getting an AMD mang
Fun Fact: the 960 can't use 4gb
>>51436049
For ~200 GBP you could get the 380X, which would be a good deal faster than the 960. I'd recommend saving up another 40 GBP and look for a deal on the Sapphire 380X Nitro.
i have a 2gb r9 270x. i can run the game on mostly ultra with shadows set to high and shadow distance to medium, godrays on low, and limit tessellation to 8x. 1080p
i get at least 30 fps with these settings. that is to say, at the absolute worst it manages 30fps.
in enclosed areas such as metro tunnels and building interiors, i sit at 60fps most of the time.
i feel like 2gb is sufficient for this game vanilla.
if you plan on doing a lot of modding, youll exceed that very quickly. at the same time, you wont have enough horsepower to make it worth it. youll...

Best linux distros. What do you recommend to someone who has used Ubuntu in the past but got bored of it?
Mint with Cinnamon. You won't go back.

at the moment people will just post bias opinions, you will get nowhere.
Have you already updated your Windows 10 to the new building 1511?
http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/11/windows-10-november-update-features-fixes-and-enterprise-readiness/
>>51435932
no, because it crashes on 40% because I have a SD card inserted in my tablet.
this error was reported in the preview builds, and microsoft didn't bother to fix it for public release.
once that gets fixed, I'll update.
I haven't updated to Windows 10 at all.
>>51435951
But it's an official update.
Why is opensource software so ugly?
>>51435746
Usually it is about function, I mean the first car was not pretty however it was able to do what it was meant to. Move shit around.
What happens when you work for free?
You tend to give it functions and not worrying about eye candy window fag desires.
When it comes to Linux open source I know that the developers and basically anyone on the Linux side cares about two things and two things only.
1. Functionality
2. Jerking off to loli hentai
>>51435763
Why is it so hard to ask somebody to make a decent design? Specially when you are such popular software like Calibre.
Are there any other cards that look like this? It's fucking beautiful, built like a tank. Takes 3 slots.

>>51435702
Yes they're called 3 Slot gpus...
>>51435779
I also mean one that looks similar, fins barely showing, fully enclosed but runs cool af
What other 3 slots are there nowadays?
I like to think I'm pretty experienced with Android, but I'm always open to learning. Today I'm upgrading to my note 5, I've heard all the arguments against it before and in all honesty they don't bother me much. You can't convince me to not get it, so please share some apps you think are great on droid.
