Wonder why this piece of crap still is alive.
I don't get why people bitch so much about xorg.
Sure, it has faults but they don't really matter to the end-user.

Intended for users of all levels, including absolute beginners.
There are three 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) Go balls deep and overwrite everything with Linux (not recommended)
If you are serious about switching to Linux and if you have Windows dual-booted (recommended for pure newbies), we recommend you use it exclusively for 2 weeks, and avoid Windows dual booting for that period of time, or it's likely you will start retreating back to windows instead of getting used to Linux as your new home and working on making it feel the way you want it.
>Recommended for beginners:
-Ubuntu MATE
-Debian (For Broadcom devices, use an ISO that includes non-free firmware)
-openSUSE
-LinuxMint (a.k.a Ubuntu LTS + Cinnamon)

Is incremental tar a sane backup solution?
I have an LG G3. My carrier (AT&T) is currently offering a free Note 4 with 2 year agreement.
Should I hop on this? I think that's going to be their last amazing phone.

I pick him a laptop that does all that for like €550

Look at the box, turns out the retard saw a 'cheaper' model that wasn't half as powerful for €50 less.

I remember there was a video teaches how to wear the IEM it was a woman demonstrating and she tilts her head on to one side and gently pulls the earlobe down and slowly insert that giant IEM like in OP's pic into her beautiful deep dark ear canal and it gave me an erection I want to watch that video again.

What do you think?
Is the terminal faster than the gui for navigating in folders and looking at files (not just text)?
Depends how fast you can type and if you can remember/spell the filename. A typo halfway through a nested file structure that you then have to either retype or recall then edit will be much slower than a few mouseclicks. But if you are fast amd accurate then it's probably about evens.
