GNU/Linux will never be taken seriously as long as GIMP is the alternative to Photoshop.
Corel makes good alternatives fornLinux

Gimp is the alternative to paint, not photoshop.
Now fuck off.
Why do you so desperately want it to be taken seriously?

Been kinda poking around trying to find an answer. Guess i'll just ask here too.
My e6440 came with a wdc blue 1tb, the4 model number is WD10JPVX.
I am guessing the firmware has been fucked with because according to Western digital, the serial number is invalid, and rather than report a buffer size in crystal disk info, its showing total host reads and writes like an ssd would. This model isn't even an sshd model, so why would it even report a number like that? Is the smart data just fucked? Is it even safe to use?

Need a physical parallel and serial (less important) ports in a laptop. Don't care about specs as long as it can run Win Xp. What should I get?
Why are japanese people still using Windows XP?

I'm not entirely sure, for me I like the tactile feel but mostly I want the keyboard to be silent so I'm leaning towards Cherry reds.
My BF says clears and I trust his judgement for now.

1st for meme layouts are for autist
just received a ducky zero w/ blues to replace my finally broken razer meme (also blues, last revision with genuine cherry switches)
The blues on the ducky are definitely more silent that the ones on the razer and have a pretty satisfying "tock", when bottoming out as opposed to a kind of rattle high pitched click on the razer.
So far I enjoy it
That said, the ducky zero literally has zero autist/meme/gamer features, I wonder why other companies haven't picked up that design and construction and made it a keyboard for normies.
After multiple KDE shill threads in past month I gave it a spin. I'm using Manjaro XFCE for few years so I decided to test out their KDE release. Fucking hell this is beautiful and snappy even on old c2d 2 GHz, 4GB RAM laptop. I like where Linux is heading, will test new Gnome too but I'll be installing KDE version of Manjaro for sure. What's your prefered KDE distro and why? Tips for new KDE user? Opinions on new versions of KDE and Gnome?
Thanks for the heads up, OP. I was planning on using Manjaro KDE when I buy a new desktop. The Xfce version is simply rock-solid.
The only tip for KDE I can give is to look up drop-down terminals. I remember there were at least two KDE-specifc ones. Yakuake was the name I think. Post more impressions.
>>54001380
So far everything is snappy. no crashes. Browsing, watching a show and no issues. Like you said XFCE is rock solid but this is beautiful. Dolphin file options are incredible. I was about to bitch about the only cosmetic flaw I've found and that is the bottom panel being too "fat" but one click on the setting button and height is trimmed. Will look into drop down terminals but I usually run Terminator, it's comfy.
Well Alt+Space to start krunner and then just remove the start button. No reason to have it then krunner does the same thing.
If you don't like plasma/ the kde desktop you can just install XFCE and replace the xfwm with kwin and that way have most of the KDE experience.
