Other business laptops are also welcome in /tpg/ (e.g. Dell Latitude/Precision, HP EliteBook/ZBook).
----
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.

There is absolutely no technical reason that Linux is not UNIX since a Linux distro is certified UNIX.
If you deny that Linux is Unix from now on, you will be known as a turbo autist.
OS X has nothing on Linux now that Linux is also Unix.

There isn't a single BSD that is certified UNIX anymore, and no, OS X is not BSD.

Why do you not use KDE /g/ ?

bloatshit
>>53991993
KDE
1. Bloated
2. No real identity
3. UI seems to be slapped together by some first year Uni kids with zero UI design knowledge
4. Overcomplex for no reason
5. Its shit

Does Canada have the same pro-monopoly laws that the US has?
i've just learnd that c dose not know what a boolean is.
So:
What does /g/ think bout C++ and why.
Also lets waste 32bit to store a one.
>>53989057
Yes it does, it wouldn't have if-statements if it didn't. Anything that evaluates to integer zero is false, anything else is true.
And C++ is a big, overcomplicated, sloppy mess of a language that's in the neither-one-thing-nor-another zone.
>>53989196
>its stores the value in an int
>also everything that is not 0 is true.
>try it
that's literally what I just said
>so open ears for everything bout c++
it was shit five minutes ago and its shit now.
You use a char, dumbass
What do you guys think about John C. Lilly's theories (ECCO, human biocomputer), or sensory deprivation tanks in general? Is the brain really reliant on a set of metaprograms?
>>53987977
He was a huge inspiration to me and is one of my heroes. Totally changed my way of thinking. However he's so out of the box that some of it was bound to be retarded. ECCO is a neat idea and makes way more sense than say, angels in Christianity but that's just the thing, he kinda created his own scientific religion and like all religions it's kind of bullshit. Really got me interested in Buddhism but mostly for the philosophy. It's funny because his human biocomputer idea is spot on and is pretty much what most of science believes these days, that is that human brains are just biological computers running programs that are written by other programs that were written by our DNA, just like our other biological functions. That was spot on, then he had to go and mix in his spiritual bullshit to cope with the fact that his existence will end when he dies. Same reason all religions exist.
The isolation tank is an amazing idea that is VERY old but he simply refined it. I'm going to try one soon but it's like $60 bucks just for an hour session... This dude also invented the ECC (NOT ECCO) or electroencephalogram which measures brain activity.
His craziest invention by far was his brain electrodes though. Very mad-scientist esque. He refined the technique for stimulating regions of neurons with a thin wire embedded in the brain. The hardest part obviously is doing it all without causing damage. He even patented the wave form (Lilly wave) that was most effective. He was stimulate neurons milimeter by milimeter throughout the entire brain and see what the reaction was. These days they're doing it with fiber optics and genetically modified neurons in rats that contain a die that reacts to light but they wouldn't have that today without lillys research. If you've ever watched and enjoyed the Matrix or Ghost in the Shell, this stuff is for you. Like Sigmund Freud, he laid the groundwork for others but is now ridiculed for his other crazy ideas.
>>53988208
Thanks for the informative post, anon.
I'm also going to try a 'float' session soon. Have you read 'Programming and Metaprogramming in the Human Biocomputer'?
>>53988304
Yes I have! That and "The Scientist" are the only ones I've read by him so far. Pretty crazy shit. The Scientist is more of an overview of his whole life or as he says "a meta-physical autobiography".

Welcome to /fg/lt/, or as I've recently taken to calling it, /fg+lt/. 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.

Remember when you guys said the stalling was just a meme?
Even the project leader says its a problem and they haven't fixed it yet.
What now, qBittorrent fanboys? You still going to call it a meme?
Are you still going to be in denial even with this evidence?
