You guys are always going on about the nonfree botnet
But if someone gave you a free as in freedom botnet, would you still be averse to running it?

Would fork it, and release a non-botnet version of it.

price and running iOS.
Marketed as being a productivity device, but iOS is terrible for that, marketed at digital artists, they already own a cintiq.
It's just filling a niche that wasn't there, creating their own, amateur graphic designers working out of coffee shops.
I prefer traditional laptops.

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 onmaking it feel the way you want it.
>Recommended for beginners:
-*buntus except vanilla Ubuntu (Unity)
-Debian (For Broadcom devices, use an ISO that includes non-free firmware)
-openSUSE
-LinuxMint (a.k.a Ubuntu LTS + Cinnamon)
Before asking, please find the answers to your questions in resources.

Which Linux distribution should I install on my new chromebook?>>51606342
How bad is Firefox going to get before we say enough is enough?
Just use pale moon or an older version instead of mindlessly updating their bloatware
Still is more memory efficient than Chrome.
>>51599810
Kinda has to be since the official builds were stuck at 32 bit on Windows for so long. Out-of-memory was still probably the most common cause of crashes.
It also got sluggish as hell as it approached 2 GB because of the constant panic GC trying to avoid the crash.
Upgrade ideas? Or should I just buy a premade one?

Anyway, what isn't it doing for you?

Its been just completely freezing lately. The entire computer mouse and keyboard will freeze during a game and quit working altogether. Plus a lot of the games I have been playing (mostly MMOs) have been disconnecting me I guess due to lag or something.
>>51621136
Well, if you're 48C at idle, I'd wager there's a problem there.
A friend recently sold me on the idea of making a machien for pfSense. It sounds like a fine time, both putting together the hardware and configuring the software. My friend says that it's best and cheapest to just use an older junk PC and add what it needs, but I kind of want to go the smaller, sleeker route. Does anyone have much experience with them? How much might I expect to pay?
>>51620522
I just set up a pfSense machine
The "use any old machine" route is certainly cheaper. For most purposes anything this side of a Pentium 2 will be fast enough, all it needs is two network interfaces. It wasn't that hard to get up and running. I'd get a switch to use for whatever wired machines you have, and then if you want wireless, take your router, switch off NAT, the DHCP server, and the firewall, and plug it into the switch. (mine had an "access point only" mode that does this), it was easier than using a third interface and plugging the router into that.
>>51620522
I took the easy route and just bought the pfsense SG-2220. Low power consumption, it just works.
As for the software...holy shit, it's awesome. You'll never again want anything else between you and the intertubes, other than your pfsense firewall. I've got snort running on mine, which by default blocks *everything* that doesn't check out 100%. Feels good man.
I installed opnSense (very similiar to pfsense, but more..pretty) on a small dual NIC machine. Works great. Installed to a micro usb drive
Hey guys, I'm a senior in high school in Arizona and have to make a decision of what university to attend. My major of choice will be Computer Science and what I'm trying to decide on is whether I should go to Arizona State University or University of Arizona. U of A is clearly better for CS, usually being ranked 8 spots above ASU in that major and being viewed as an innovator in that field, but I also have friends and family in Phoenix and I was wondering if leaving these people behind was worth the slightly better education at U of A. Is there anyone here who has actually gone to either of these schools for CS?

Sorry, 4cham is an 18+ website.
This belongs on /adv/ bromano
>>51619565
I thought someone over 18 was smart enough to know that a senior in high school can be 18 years old.
Which one /g/?
>inb4 windows
I prefer Ubuntu. The newest patch, although people say CentOs 7 is comfy/
>>51619235
Slackware
FreeBSD is a lot of fun. Ports and Jails are super dope.
Otherwise I'd do Debian. Too bad that's old-stable though. Maybe Ubuntu would better since that's an outdated version of Debian.
What do Gabe Newell and Linux Torvalds have in common?
They both use Debian. What's your excuse /g/?
