Why do you hate me so much /g/? Without Ubuntu, Linux would still be in the dark ages.
>>52383529
I don't hate you, I use you everday at work and at home.

>Without Ubuntu, Linux would still be in the dark ages.
Not really.
>>52383529
I quite like Ubuntu. I wish Unity had more flexibility but overall it is pretty good. I don't like how the dash is so fucking picky over shortcuts though. Pisses me off when I see random shit in their because I locked something to the dock. Also I wish Nautilus had more features. To be honest all the standard file managers on Linux are shit though.
I also quite like Ubuntu GNOME but GNOME Shell still feels quite a way off from being something I could use every day.

Recommend me a good microphone to do voiceovers and whatnot. Been looking at a AT2020. I'll be plugging it into a Steinberg UR22 Mk II. I want a desk stand for it too. The USB AT2020 comes with a nice little tripod but can't find it separate anywhere and it's not included in the standard passive AT2020 version. Any other worthwhile options or recommendations of how to mount the mic?

the at2020 is good
Booted Kali off my usb drive, but I can't connect with my network.
Using a typical mac80211to connect, is there a way to enable it?
Yes I'm a noob, gotta start somewhere right?

>not using a broadcom based wifi adapter
have fun with that shit bro, you need to hunt down and compile drivers for your wifi
hopefully you wont need to do this with sound as well
>>52383251
What is a good adapter, want something with decent range
How the fuck is this possible when I pay for 60mbps internet?
>straight from the modem is about 20-25 mbps
>wifi is this
Should I call charter and bitch, or is it really this shitty?
That speed is not a garantee. Also, wifi sucks for fast and stable connections. Learn to read contracts before you sign them and use a cable for fast connections.
Check phone line or coax.
Mostly those cables are causing problems.
>>52381841
There is a loss of around 65% of bandwidth with wifi, the current technology doesnt allow more
>Linux breaks for no apparent reason
>Hey retard it's your own fault because...
Nope. Happens even to people who do Linux tutorials for years.

Are there any good debuggers like Immunity but a bit more user-friendly and less 1337?
Hi /g/ this is a stupid question thread so I have a very stupid question to ask. I have been using Github for only a small amount of time abd have started seeing alot of programs that have no executable file to run them, for example: https://github.com/Partinarel/map-make/tree/master/map_explore/map_explore. I would really appreciate it if someone could explain how to run these or even just point me towards a site that explains it. Thanks and sorry for being stupid.
Is there a laptop manufacturer that won't screw me over? Yeah I know
>not building a nice desktop
But fuck it. My last two laptops both went obsolete because the manufacturer never updated their drivers, and drivers from each individual component manufacturer didn't work. Is there any company that sells something I'll actually be allowed to update two years from now?
>El Capitan takes away the right to write to /usr/
> /usr/ is literally the USER folder
buhauhahahahahah
applefags will defend this
/usr is not the user folder.
>>52381228
agreed. Came in here to say that
>>52381203
/usr/ isn't /home/ you dipshit.
/usr/ contains systemwide readonly files to be used by any user on the system, like programs and themes.

No, it's not, This is a case of a mistake, a large one, but a correctable one. There probably is a good reason for someone with his name to be on that list.

>What is Remix OS?
Remix OS is a fork of Android x86 that is modded for better usability with mice and touchpads. It's designed to run on your PC.
http://www.jide.com/en/remixos-for-pc
>When is it released? Where's the download?
The English version that includes gapps is released SOMETIME TODAY.
The ching chong version without gapps is released NOW. https://otacdn.jide.com/ota/Remix_OS_for_PC_64_B2016011202_CN_Alpha.zip
>Isn't this Chrome OS?
It looks like Chrome OS but it doesn't have the horrible bullshit lock-in and has apps that don't require the Internet or were written in JavaScript.
>What's the difference between Android x86 and this?

>Won't they get sued by Google? This is vaporware.
Remix OS has already existed for more than a year, raised over a million dollars over two kickstarters, and sold devices with Remix OS on it. So probably not.
>Will this run on my Mac?
PROBABLY. They said it runs on some Macs that they tested but didn't specify which. You can also test Android x86 on your Mac to see if it works.
>What's the deal with the dumb benchmark on their website?
Who ever made that was a retard.
>Is this the year of the Linux desktop?
YES.

I can't wait to play crysis on my phone.
Do you think data hoarding is real? I sort of think so, I have 5 hard drives, two are filled to the brim with random images and media and the other is 2TB of anime.
What about you?
Got 300gb of linux distro iso's
Not sure whether i actually need them
>>52380028
I have about 4tb of movies and tv shows that I've accumulated over the past year.
Some of them I haven't watched, nor do I intent to. Just got them on freeleech and wanna retain that sweet seeding bonus.
>>52380028
Yeah. I often think to myself that I need to clean out my old files. Especially ancient backups of things that I haven't needed in a decade.

How can other OS's even compete?
>>52379362
>How can other OS's even compete?
By not being made for subhuman creatures
>>52379362
Linux and Windows support more than one CPU and GPU.
>>52379362
>How can other OS's even compete?
By being cheap enough for the general public to afford them.
Yes there are poor people who can't afford macs and yes you can feel better than them if you want to. Doesn't change the fact that producing cheap computers lets you compete with Apple.
I use computer and os interchangeably here because you pretty much have to buy a mac to use Mac OS

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)
>They’re really cheap when you buy a used one.
>Keyboards feel excellent while typing (yes, even the newer ones).
>Great durability thanks to the inclusion of rollcages and use of glass fiber reinforced plastic for the chassis. The keyboard is splash proof and spilled liquids will drain out.
>Utilitarian design - e.g. indicator LEDs, 7 row keyboard layout on older models.
>Docking solutions that easily turns your laptop into a desktop.
>Easy to repair, upgrade and maintain thanks to readily available service manuals for almost every model. Spare parts are easy and cheap to obtain.
>The best trackpoint (that red thing on 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.

I might have to get an XPS 15 since I can't find anything else even close to what I want in a new laptop.
The X260 is almost perfect, but it's gimped by single-channel RAM (and all the other modern X-series compromises).
Maybe I should just keep using my Latitude E6510 and wait to upgrade until laptops catch up with what I want from them.
post your dankpads and os info and etc... standard shit, except ill not go first.

I'm not that anon you responded to but my battery has been recalled. Placed an order for a new one. Holy shit if they actually will send me a new one for free.

I, as a confirmed catholic, thoroughly enjoy the opensource fire program. It allows me to destroy literature which defies our supreme being, while also letting me be blissfully ignorant since its human architecture compatible.
I exclusively use templeOS

None. Why the fuck would I need such a thing? I don't live in a country full of religious extremists.
