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.

Edit the PKGBUILD from the abs and compile it yourself, fool.
Are external GPUs a meme or actually usable?
Can we just get a decent laptop with [whatever port an eGPU needs] and throw our desktop computers into the trash?
>150$ just for a proper case
>inferior as fuck cpus
sure it will kill pcs
Sounds cool to me OP. I'd love one of those on my T420
>>54512431
no because:
all laptops inherently overheat
all laptops inherently have shitty screens which are unupgradeable
all laptops are inherently unupgradeable
you still can't run 2+ GPUs
Old thread: >>54500837
For questions that don't deserve their own thread
What software can you recommend to integrate updates into a Windows 7 SP1 ISO?
This morning i booted up my pc and it went to a grey screen with only the cursor visible.
Googling tells me it's probably my video card. I hope to god its the driver, as the card is only a few months old.
Thing is, it doesn't boot to bios so I'm not sure if i can run it in safe mode. im at work now so i can't check it.
Am i fucked? I suppose the course of action would be to try a second monitor, and if that fails try to boot up in safe mode and reinstall the driver or system restore. Then try and take the card out and stick it back in.
I'm stressing cuz i don't want to deal with sending the card back to evga.
It's a 960 gt 2 gig.
Am i fucked? It was working last night.
Is the Bizagi BPM certification worth it?

http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2517440/samsung-840-evo-msata-overheating.html
is there any way i can sue these mother fuckers? as soon as i plug my $4000 laptop into an external monitor the temps ramp up to 90 degrees C and its all because of this little fucker. my screen is constantly flashing right now and all i did was watch a little netflix in firefox.
the worst bit is they knew. they rushed out a patch in the middle of the life cycle hoping we wouldnt demand out money back en masse. and it paid off.
but unlucky for them i live in a country they dont own like their own and isnt for sale like america. Australia has some of the harshest consumer protection laws in the world.
so what do you say /g/ ? do i have a chance at getting them to make this right? or will they just make me jump through hoops and throw confusing terms at my lawer like "possibility of outside factors" until he gives up?
Pleb plebity pleb pleb buying plebian EVO when the PRO is the only choice. Stay poorfag.

So i have to wipe 10 or so HDDs and rather then lugging every tower home i just took out the hard drives to just take them home and wipe individually.
The first one worked fine i used a DBAN .iso but then i tried the next one and DBAN wouldn't boot.
Am i doing something wrong?

Are you blind?
Chrome, Opera or Vivaldi? Which one is the best Browser?
Firefox, like it or not
>>54511413
>unironically liking Firefox
>>54511379
Chrome/chromium is the only browser that is any good.
Opera and memevaldi have shitty interfaces.
Here's the gist, I want to take the HDD out of a laptop and into a tower. How do I go from this...
>>54511258
... To this?
>>54511285
Plug it in

Why are you still using 2010 tier browsers?
>They don't even know about Brave...
Oh, don't worry about it, it's just gonna revolutionize browsing, and it was just made by the inventor of JavaScript which basically runs the whole Internet but you know, other than that, nothing special ...
We are well aware about that proprietary piece of shit.
>replaces ads with their own ads
Yeah no, Chrome/Chromium/Canary w/ uBo is God-tier and nothing can beat them.
>>54511223

You say that as if it was a bad thing.
