How do we fix this? Most android devices are running an outdated version, and over 50% are still running kitkat or older.
>>54980187
50% of them are embedded devices with no internet so it actually doesn't matter.

"We" can't, fucking carriers and their bullshit updates. Also, this is how bussiness works, you make a phone marketed as "LASTEST ANDROID VERSON 6.9!!!!!", people will buy it, then just say "oh no, this phone cant run the new android version anymore :^)))), but you can buy our newest flagship". Fucking samsung, I'm not going to buy from them ever again, 2 years and counting since I got the phone with 0 updates.

They just updated my S5 to 6.0. Stop being poor and complaining about no support on $50 phones. :^)

I have a question for longtime OSX users. What has your experience been with the various OSX versions post-Snow Leopard? I hear a lot of people say Mavericks was the last good one, while others say that's when OSX started to go bad, and still others say it's all been downhill since Snow Leopard.
Pretty much the only things I can say for sure from my own limited experience is that OSX got a lot slower and bloated after Snow Leopard, which could comfortably run on just 1GB of RAM, and Yosemite and El Capitan seem to run like dicks if you don't install them on a SSD.
Much slower and bloated. The programs have also gotten worse since Apple is focused on new new new new rather than just refining their own shit.
Still great though.
>>54978592
Forgot to add: what version are you currently using as your daily driver, and for what reason?
>>54978592
It didn't necissarily go 'bad', even though ever since the change of UI with Yosemite, there have been a bunch of GUI glitches and inconsistencies, pretty small, but very annoying to the keen eyed.
As of El Capitan, I run it both on an ssd and an hdd, both run pretty decent for me. Even though El Capitan did some more annoying things to old OS X users, like move around settings, redesign some utilities, make it seem that some features were removed, but they have been combined. Ontop of that, I have...

AMD fags please bitch and moan how its wrong for me to spend MY OWN MONEY on a product I want.

Doesn't matter, AMD Nvidia Intel. You're a braindead consumer idiot

Just make sure to put it in this.
Why aren't you using an Arch based distro yet anon?
>but muh stability
I've only had Arch crash on me once, and that was because of a shitty game
>muh support
Arch wiki
>muh long and hard install
Use manjaro then
With Arch based distros you have all your packages in 2 repos, you never have to install a repo again. Not to mention the rolling release and bleeding edge software.
Its no wonder that Linux hasn't gained much desktop...

Debian is for entry-level coding only
Top-tier server stuff and actual hacking? Arch.
>>54976535
because I want my distro to work (mostly) out of the box without doing any unnecessary work?
I'm not baiting you Anon, but aiming not to spend too much time with configuring & troubleshooting my GNU\Linux based OS.

What makes it so special?
I like that logo apart from the color being a bit on the gay side of purple/lavender.

If you're looking for purchase advice, READ THE BUYERS GUIDE FIRST. Then post, stating budget and requirements (e.g. size and performance).
Don't buy anything OTHER THAN T, X AND W/P SERIES if you want the Real ThinkPad Experience™
Recommended models:
T420 - 14", normal size
X220 - 12.5", ultraportable

Why ThinkPad? (also applies to other business laptops)
>Used machines are plentiful and cheap.
>Excellent keyboards - tactile feel and quiet.
>Great durability: chassis uses a magnesium rollcage for structural integrity, with high quality plastic body panels.
>Utilitarian design: e.g. indicator LEDs, 7 row keyboard layout on older models.
>Docking stations that easily turns your laptop into a desktop.
>Easy to repair, upgrade and maintain thanks to readily available service manuals for every model. Spare parts are easy and cheap to obtain.
>The best trackpoint (that red thing in the middle of the keyboard). Great for those who type a lot or hate swiping their fingers all over a touchpad.
>Excellent GNU/Linux & *BSD support.

What are some 2012+ phones with that form factor (slide-out physical keyboard)?
Doesn't matter if it's from well known manufacturer or biggest chinkshit ever.
Keyboard on my pic related is slowly dying.
Also why did physical keyboards go away?
Will they come back with Project Ara?
