In the time it took you to type that comment, you could have installed 3 or 4 linux distros.
Why aren't you programming in Go yet?
does google even program in go? I talked to a guy there and he didn't seem to think so.
It's created by the best company in the world, Google. Whatever Google does, is bound to be the best. So Go must be the best programming language.
because it's so shit not even google uses it

iRiver H320 here.
Using it to record live stuff (excellent recording features, stereo LINE-IN). Even the sound quality is still fucking awesome.
Mine runs on Rockbox firmware like in this Wikipedia pic.
Made in 2004 and still running like a champ.
Might change the battery and mod the 20GB HDD to a compact flash card.
I fucking love this thing.

Welcome to /flt/, we are always open to users of all levels, including absolute beginners.
There are four ways to try GNU + Linux, you can:
1) Install a GNU + Linux on a VM (Virtual Machine/VirtualBox) for "safety purposes"
2) Use the Live ISO directly without installing anything, that way, you can get a "full GNU + Linux experience".
3) Dual-boot GNU + Linux with Windows/Mac (recommended if you want to learn more about GNU + Linux)
4) 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'm currently using an S3 International (2gb ram). It runs pretty well with a custom marshmallow ROM, so I was wondering whether I should buy a zerolemon for it or another phone. How does it stack against current phones? I don't game on it.
>>53474806
if you don't care about the extra size of the zerolemon I would stick with the s3 since the only true advancements in the smartphones right now are the battery life, the rest are gimmicks like the biometric scanners.
>>53474865
Thanks. I'll compare the prices and see if I can accept the compromise.

Being a poorfag is the only acceptable reason for not owning a Mac, also the redesign will probably BTFO everything for the next 5 years again.

It's hard to imagine either Gates or Nadella with so little self-respect.
Though, if you know Ballmer's family were in the car business, it all makes sense.
>>53615904
Ignoring cloud, mobile, and keeping the MS environment incompatible with Linux / OS X.
At least Nadella is open to opening the MS stack (MS SQL on Linux, Linux in Azure, VS Code, etc.); MS employees have been trying for a while and Ballmer kept sandbagging them. e.g.
