Thought I'd try starting a thing.

What flavor of best OS are you running today? Why?
Winfags and macfags need not apply

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/LInux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

I'm using Ubuntu mate I like it, will be giving my machine back to the guy who gave it to me so I'm just gonna be using Android on my phone
Is there such a thing as a cooling pad for a laptop that doesn't use fans? I've tried looking everywhere but that's all I could find. One would think a Co2 cooler would be a feasible idea but the products just don't exist. Anybody know a product that will cool off my shitty laptop without replacing parts in my computer?
Also, just noticed 10% of the current threads are about fans. This is exactly why I don't like this bullshit. Too many problems,

I suppose there is nothing stopping your from running some manner of water cooled setup. You may need to look outside of the typical PC hardware channels to find what you're looking for.
128 GB of porn on the size of your thumbnail.

You must have tiny fucking hands.

More like the size of your pinky-nail but that sounds stupid.

My guess is in like 10 years, considering a 10MB flash drive was considered the epitome of micro-storage in the 90s.

>On Wednesday, I saw a post widely shared about an unfortunate individual who lost half of their local library and was blaming Apple Music for automatically deleting their local files.
>I sympathize, and I'm very glad this person had a backup of their music, but I want to dispel some FUD here: Apple Music has definite problems and its matching algorithms aren't great, but this is simply not how the service works. Apple Music should never automatically delete files off your primary Mac's hard drive unless you specifically delete them first.
>If you have tracks that aren't in Apple Music's library — say, personal recordings, for instance — they will be uploaded as-is to your iCloud Music Library, though songs encoded in ALAC, WAV, or AIFF will be uploaded as AAC 256kbps files for easier storage.
>Once this matching and uploading process is complete, you have two libraries: your locally-stored library on your original Mac with all your old files, and an iCloud-stored library that you can access from other devices.
>On your original Mac, Apple Music will never delete songs without your knowledge. Your original library is scanned into iCloud, but your songs are yours, and Apple will not automatically delete them, or replace them with its own proprietary copies.
I'm still confused after reading that
What a mess
Anyone with a higher than room temperature IQ knew this already.
Should /g/ be partitioned into a tech general board and a computer general board? I come here for linux/dpt/desktop threads and less for watch/intercom posts similar to lainchan's tech and programming boards.. Discuss.
>I am not a mod.
>>54402218
>I come here for linux/dpt/desktop threads
strongly consider suicide
/v/ is the 2nd fastest board, and it's been split up 5 times, and it's still the 2nd fastest board.
/g/ barely moves at all.
There really isn't enough knowledgeable computer discussion to fill a whole board, it's fine the way it is.

Is there any safe space online for freedom-minded individuals to discuss tech without having nonfree software shilled and mentioned every other post? It is very triggering to some of us, and makes it hard for some of us to participate in the discussion.
Bumping for interest.
Akacal dire touch h 2 I on went tot the show road an pajer told me I could jot for an aelelphant in ym asss haaa u tell me knwo we president now
Yes.
Trisquel forums - discussion of nonfree software is forbidden.
It's been a week edition
Here's the deal /g/...I'm basically a Mac fag, but I've got two Windows PC notebooks running Win7 that I also use.
I freaking hate everything about Windows 8.1 and 10, and the Microsoft botnet. I do like OS X a lot (inb4 faggot). But I want to become a lot more familiar with Linux.
Basically I'm done with Microshaft and if Apple ever really pisses me off, I want to be able to jump into a world of freedum without missing a beat.
So what's the best distro for an Acer C2D 2.6ghz / 4gb / 240gb SSD?
>inb4 gentoo
I'm not compiling gentoo.

Feels good to be saved from triple channel!

> From triple channel to dual channel
So you like less memory bandwidth?
>>54402026
i seriously doubt you use your pc for anything meaningful, so upgrading it was just a waste of money

Its much less chaotic when a stick of RAM dies.

Have you prepared your popcorn?
This one's pretty much guaranteed to crash so make sure to be ready so you can tell your childrens about how you were there watching when SpaceX failed for the 3rd and final time.
You can't succeed if you never try. Failure is just something to learn from.
>I want SpaceX to fail xD
Fuck off Buzz Cuckrin

Don't encourage people like OP to ask for consumer advice. Just hide and ignore.
