Welcome to /fglt/. We are always open to users of all levels, including absolute beginners.
There are four ways to try GNU/Linux, you can:
0) Install a GNU/Linux OS on a VM (Virtual Machine/VirtualBox) for "safety purposes"
1) Use the Live ISO directly without installing anything, that way, you can get a "full GNU/Linux experience".
2) Dual-boot GNU/Linux with Windows/Mac (recommended if you want to learn more about GNU/Linux)
3) Go balls deep and overwrite everything with GNU/Linux
Before asking, please search for answers to your questions in resources.
Please be civil, notice the "Friendly" in every Friendly GNU/Linux Thread.
Understand that much of your software from Windows will be unavailable, although maybe WINE can make up for it.

How to tune the trackpoint sensibility and speed for a thinkpad x201 running arch?
>>54819066
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_configure_the_TrackPoint
>Adjusting the speed and sensitivity of the TrackPoint requires echoing a value between 0 and 255 into the appropriate file. For example, for a speed of 120 and a sensitivity of 250, type the following into a terminal:
# echo -n 120 > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/serio2/speed
# echo -n 250 > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/serio2/sensitivity
>Alternatively, on my ThinkPad T420s, the correct commands are:
# echo -n 120 > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/speed
# echo -n 250 > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/sensitivity
Why do liberal arts majors like Apple so much?
They are told it "does art better".
The people who major in that are out of touch with the world and/or retarded.

Going for my first Gentoo today. Have installed Arch and LFS in the past. Is there any reason to use the live DVD or is minimal good? I am curious about the live DVD, but have shit internet.
>>54817888
>Is there any reason to use the live DVD
If you want to use firefox while installing maybe.
>but have shit internet.
A source based distro might not be the best idea in that case.
>>54818026
>firefox
Thanks, I'll just use my other computer.
>shit internet
It's not that bad, I just don't want to download an extra 2.8GB if I don't need to. Maybe 2 - 3 hours of waiting.
I wouldn't have thought source based would use as much internet though... Surely the source is smaller than the compiled binary no? Or am I just confused
>>54818184
Source is often larger than the binaries.
Gentoo will do a lot of downloading. A lot.

What are good pc desks?
Pic related, that's the one I prob want to buy.
Go for an overhead hutch with pinboard.
Same space as shelf in your pic, but it's up off the floor, giving you more space.
Build your own, or buy something from IKEA

I got my desk from a company that went bankrupt. Best desk I ever owned and only cost me €100

So when did you grow up of OOP?
when I looked at functional code and realised how retarded OOP was in comparison
There is no programming language, no paradigm, no framework, no methodology that is ideal for all projects.
OOP is perfect for certain projects, and useless for others. The same goes for literally everything else.
The only thing anyone needs to "grow out" of is the idea that they can pick and learn one language-to-end-all-languages, paradigm-to-end-all-paradigms, etc and do everything with that. You cannot. If you try- and many do- you will fail to produce a good, performant, readable, extensible, maintainable codebase.
I grew up out of programming in general.
Back in the days you had to be smart and knowledgeable but now we invented enough tool for monkies to program, so it's a job for monkies.
PS4 or XBOX 360 controller for PC?
I'm planning to get one when playing sports and driving games on the PC. Which is better? I've read reviews that the xbox one controller isn't better than the 360 so I'm better of buying the cheaper one.
>>54814998
360
360 is the greatest controller ever made.
>>54814998
XBOne elite controller, or the 360 is that is too expensive. those triggers are better for driving than the sony ones.

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", lightweight
----
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 OS do you use in your Thinkpads?
I wanted to try Linux/Arch, but it looks like my T400 is somehow incompatible with grub and I couldn´t change systems. Got stuck in Arch.
Right now I´m running Windows/Linux Mint, the first one for a couple work related programs that I need and the second one for university stuff and programming.
Why is X220 the recommended model here? I'm interested in getting one.

Alright, I need info on the Xiaomi Redmi 3 Pro
Should I get the 16gb or the 32gb version?
What about survivability? Does the charger catch on fire? the battery explodes?
Is there good Rom support? (Even custom)
I know i have to spend 150-200 bucks for a phone with basically no warranty but I need to know for how long this thing will survive.
>>54814642
>spend 150-200 bucks for a phone
Why not go for the Redmi Note 3 Pro? it is much more powerful.
>What about survivability? Does the charger catch on fire? the battery explodes?
No, Xiaomi is a good brand, they are not a cheap chink brand that breaks after a year.
RN3P does have a lot of rom supported, AOSP included.
>>54814642
The pro is 32GB.
It comes with more ram than the 16gb version and has a fingerprint sensor.
>>54814994
I got the redmi 3 pro, it should be here any day. I don't regret it at all, if the phone does everything you need, why spend the extra?

Do you regularly detach screen or tmux sessions over ssh?
that's great! because poetterling literally just broke all server daemons unless they have a hard dependency on systemd apis

Consumerism
We live in a capitalisy economy, advertisers basically own the minds of those at the lower end of the intelligence spectrum
>>54812995
I feel like there could be a way to fake being an iPhone when sending a message, I doubt it's super secure to determine which color to use.
Amazing that you can run a marketing campaign where consumers will think they are better than other people because they bought an expensive product that is made in the same Chinese factory as the product they hate from a company that didn't give a shit about them
