This shit needs to end
>>54329006
Material Design isn't new or meme. It's Google's design language to give everything a somewhat similar look on their platforms.
>>54329078
About fucking time.

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.

I can recommend the Linux Fundamentals series by Daniel Robbins:
http://www.funtoo.org/Linux_Fundamentals,_Part_1
also you might read up on ssh if you don't know it already, that's basically the must-have tool on a phone.

There is going to be a time in tech, when this is going to be the mainstream and "aesthetic" gui.
>>54328386
It looks fucking cool. Reminds me of the lcars interface on startrek.
>implying everyone on /g/ wouldn't buy this and hail it as the greatest if it didn't have the logos on it and the usb's were black and not green
You guys don't actually care about technology you just care about looking like you care about technology.
In terms of direct competitors (13" ultrabooks) I like the XPS 13 way better, the display just looks too good.
The logo/LEDs aren't that big of an issue, just leave them off and put a sticker on the back and you're good.
The only thing I don't really like about them is that I can't go to a store to buy one and test it out. I don't like making a blind online purchase at something that costs at least $999
>>54327747
The XPS has nicer bezels but the RBS has a better screen. If the XPS was cheaper (which you'd think it would be being from a bigger company) it'd beat the RBS in every way though.
What it's the most aesthetically pleasant laptop you know /g/?
>image related: this beauty
I happen to find both macbooks and thinkpads awful
Post beautiful laptops.
macfag here
pixel is the most attractive laptop ever made
macbook pro
>>54326153
No way maybe in 2k11, 2k12 but those bezels nowadays on the macbook pro are hideous. Apple is to stubborn to do a refresh to. Pixel is gorgeous. I also love the utilitarian look of IBM thinkpads
How did you /g/uys learn how to type? Personally, I was taught with Mavis Beacon nearly 2 decades ago. I'm at about 80wpm but want to get faster and more precise. What software or programs would you recommend?
instant messaging
high school
No dedicated technique. Lots of online gaming and instant messaging.
100-130 wpm.
So what kind of smartphone case do you use, /g/?
None, just don't be a retard.
>accidents
Aka being a retard
Certainly not one with a fucking flip cover. What is this, 1995?
one with grip because most phones nowadays are too thin and slippery

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.

Why aren't you using OS X, the best os since 2002, and most likely keeping that title for the rest of this decade?
>>54323985
>Because I'm poor
>Because Mac OS X plateaued at 10.6 Snow Leopard
>Because it's all downhill from here
>>54323985
Honestly?
Because I can't afford it.
I can't think of a single other reason to pick Winshit or GNUshit over OSX
>>54324013
install os x on your computer. hackintosh worked better than linux on my machine. and OS X was the best at 10.8.

mfw i never notice a difference and just use default mpv

DXINTEROP is too unstable on my machine, I have random crashes.
On windows where do I find config file?

Everyone go home, nothing to see here. It's only a paper launch until June.

Oh my, is Nvidia nervous?
They rarely ever do paper launches, last time they did it was Fermi.
>>54320126
i guess its time to fast-sell my 980 now.
Educated guess based on architectural improvements, improved clockspeed and leaked shader.
GP104/GTX1080 +10% 980Ti performance, around 190W
GP104(bin)/GTX1070 -10% of 980Ti performance
GP106/GTX1060 -10-15% of 980 Performance, 100-120W
AMD side
Polaris 10/490X -5% to 980Ti performance, 175W
Polaris 10/490 -15% 980Ti performance
Why are Microsoft making really cool applications for iOS and Android that are even cooler than what they have on Windows 10?
>>54320002
BEcause Windows 10 (mobile ver) is dead even in their own eyes.
>>54321191
pretty much this, nokia has phones running android, I'd say MS is supporting android more than anything atm.
Grill?
