HDMI or DVI /g/?
hdmi
DVI because it doesn't have HDCP. Also it's an open standard.

Can you hold your phone in one hand and touch the upper left corner?
Be honest
No. I have tiny girl hands and I use a Nexus 6.

Intended for users of all levels, including absolute beginners.
There are four ways to try Linux, you can:
1) Install a Linux OS 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 Linux experience".
3) Dual-boot Linux with Windows/Mac (recommended if you want to learn more about Linux)
4) Go balls deep and overwrite everything with Linux (not recommended)
Before asking, please search for answers to your questions in resources.
Please be civil, notice the "Friendly" in every Friendly Linux Thread.
Understand that much of your software from Windows will be unavailable, although maybe wine can make up for it.

Why does /g/ hate dual core processors?
Do you not realise that for many people a dual core APU or Pentium is more than enough for their uses?
Most people for who those actually are good enough will inevitably shit up the computer somehow, or if they ever decide they want to do slightly more it will just be complete shit.
Also modern software is shitty and bloated.
More cores are always better.

2 cores isn't enough, plus dual cores are usually clocked lower as well

The damage control from Goyintel basically boils down to this.

Things like the gendarmerie and other public institutions already extensively use F(L)OSS. This is a natural progression. Good for France.

ABP is freemium garbage that only blocks the ad after its loaded; you still connect to ad servers and trackers

Not sure what private trackers are all about?
The mission of /ptg/ is to promote the highest possible standards of tracker service by providing members with opportunities for professional development, by recognizing technical competence through examinations and by advancing the interests of its members.
Check out the wiki and update it yourself if you want more instead of complaining like a fucking faggot. https://wiki.installgentoo.com/index.php/Private_trackers

Don't fool me, man. Even companies like Dell, Alienware and HP are offering Ubuntu on their computers. Am I wronghere, guys?
>>52885861
Linux has no inherent intended use
>>52885885
What the hell does this even mean?
Windows and Mac are both heavily targeted to normies. Facebook, Skype, YouTube, Netflix, etc... Are all they are marketed for. The only thing Linux can't so that windows can is gaming and meme software like "Official NFL Fantasy Draft with Xbox One Integration". If that's your deciding factor for a device then maybe you don't deserve a computer at all.
I digress. Linux can consume more types of media than windows 'natively', offers a full office productivity suite, can run many games but I'll admit this area is lacking, and do pretty much everything windows can but costs you less, gives you privacy and freedom and is more stable than windows.
>>52885861
Pisses me off that APT and sudocuck distributions are the ones that are getting a foothold.
Still, as long as Linux gets a greater market penetration, I'm happy.
