Why aren't you using WayLand /g/?
>>55085206
No guide to installing from source or binary install in Ubuntu that I can find that's reliable.

When i installed Debian it came with GNOME ootb.... Maybe try installing GNOME?
>update arch
>xorg breaks
Seriously?
For real, if it really happens, then I don't know why you guys use Arch. They have a great wiki, but I'd rather use Debian with a minimal net install and build a DE from there.
2 times I updated Fedora and something serious broke requiring a reinstall.
Nowadays I only update every few months

Systemd, ancient packages in "stable" and bleeding edge packages elsewhere, and a bureaucracy that would make the people in that Futurama episode impressed.
Great as a base for other things, weak on its own.

Claims to be a normie but calls it gnu/linux (yeah sure).
>>have to install software from source
Not using the package manager.
>>ooops, followed the instructions and it compiled without qt!
Compiled from source without a frontend...

You could have gotten the top end Xeon model directly from Lenovo for $1829.80 on their corporate perk portal.
How truthful is that cracked programs get detected as """"false positive"""""
%100. No such thing as a false false positive.

will the guy creating the virus admit it's a virus?

Why would he do that
What the fuck blackplayer? 40%? What in the holy hell? How do i fix this?
>>55084980
By using another mp3 player.
Is this /g/-technology illiteracy now?
Fuck you op.
Fuck you.
>>55085016
But what mo3 player? What one wont suck down power likes its water?
>>55084980
I would assume by not using BlackPlayer.
I don't know though, I'm not an expert.
I dont usually post on this board, but here goes. im looking for something i can put on my phone, a samsung s4 mini, that will enable to me access it remotely from my computer. i need something that can access messages, apps, and my picture gallery. price isnt a concern here.
Doesn't exist
>>55084931
SideSync. Although I don't know if the S4 has it.

I know it's massively overkill for me. I mostly code websites and apps and do a decent amount of video encoding as well as a lot of mySQL work. The only games I play are Witcher 3, Diablo 3, and Overwatch. The idea of this thread is to get a general consensus of what a user such as myself, who does a little bit of everything, really needs. Stock photo of the case I use
>>55084897
should be fine
You could alternatively get a smaller SSD for OS only and mechanical for storage
What resolution are you gaming at?
>>55084925
I have a dual monitor setup 1920x1080 on the side and I do mostly everything on my 2560x1080 ultrawide. The side monitor usually just runs putty windows so I can get quick status updates when I'm pushing changes to servers
>>55084925
I use the SSD as a main because I'm lazy with personal file management and don't like to move things to my NAS as they accumulate on my drive

These guys just saved my bacon about a half hour ago because I did something idiotic. And let's face it: no matter how careful we are we always have a glorious absence of sound judgement. So let's take a moment and thank the authors of our choice antivirus/antimalware programs.
In b4 "Common Sense 2XXX".

don't be this retard. you won't always know you have malware on your system. why risk your personal info and shit when malwarebytes is almost weightless on your system?
I going planning to get an msi gaming laptop, but I've seen some reviews saying about the noisy fan, is there any quiet models or is there a way to stop the loud fan
>>55084763
Yes. Smash it with this.
>>55084763
I currently own an MSI GE72 Apache 2QD; it is quite loud but I mainly use an extremely quiet laptop fan
actually msi and asus (my personal fav) are tied for most quiet of all true gaming laptops. By true i mean all the ones with a decent cooling solution on the back.
The ultra thin shit cant cool properly so they are clocked real slow or just throttle a shit load to compensate bad thermals.
However, if you buy a msi laptop with 980 desktop or something of the kind, expect some loudiness for fans to cope with a non mobile card generating lots of heat
What laptop would you get with $1400 USD?
>>55084634
Go fuck yourself.
A $300 refurbished Thinkpad and 1650 Taco Bell tacos.
