Sup /g/,
It's time for me to reinstall a distro onto my laptop, and I need help picking a good distro. I am currently using Xubuntu, for it's good support, ease of use (installing drivers, being Debian based, etc). However I am thinking about switching to something else. Sometimes the packages that control the WiFi applet don't come on at boot, as well as random errors on boot a few times after upgrading to 16.04 LTS. Anyways I am currently looking for recommendations for a new OS. Something very solid at its core, but still with access to bleeding edge packages, if you know what I mean. As well as good driver support. I like the ability to install .deb packages or .rpm however as long as I can get all the same software in another distro (looking at Manjaro) then I'm all ears. Thanks.
Here is my current situation. Would probably set up the new install in a similar way (Compiz + Emerald + XFCE).
However I have realized XFCE sucks so also looking out for new DEs. Tell me what's up. Cinnamon, Mate, GNOME (shit), KDE (idk about this one actually)... Just point me towards the good distros
Manjaro any good? How's KDE? Hows MATE? These two are interesting to me.

You have to try them out... We don't know your tastes
Someone payed me 50 bucks to help them get past login screen on their laptop they forgot their password to..
I figured I would just reinstall windows but since they only have USB 3.0 ports on the laptop i cant go forward with USB installation because it doesnt have 3.0 drivers on it
thats the extent on my computer hacks really... just reinstalling the OS
is there any other way to bypass windows 7 password screen other than reinstalling OS?
is this even possible? everything i google has me downloading programs that look like virus central

Konboot

Don't you think they want past the screen so that they can get the same data back?
China Claims World’s Most Powerful Supercomputer 7th Year In A Row
China has been named the home of the fastest supercomputer for the 7th year in a row.
But for the first time, and what makes this year’s choice unique, is the fact that this year’s winning computer has won using only Chinese designed processors.
The computer based in the National Supercomputing Center in Wuxi, and named Sunway TaihuLight was designed and developed by the Chinese National Research Center of Parallel Computer Engineering & Technology.
With an ability to process 93 petaflops that also makes it just about three times faster than the previous record setter, the Tianhe-2, also Chinese, which was clocked at being able to process 33.85 petaflops.
The TaihuLight can perform approximately a quadrillion calculations a second, which is much faster than the Tianhe-2, built with US designed processors can achieve. In theory, the TaihuLight could achieve peak a peak performance of 124 petaflops.
That China has been trying to develop a 100 petaflop system (or close enough for it not to really matter) isn’t exactly new, well, news, but it was widely anticipated that the Chinese would use US based Intel company chips to reach the fabled 100 petaflop barrier.
Bad move on the part of the US
However, the US banned Intel from shipping the Xeon chips to Chinese super computer manufacturers last year because they claimed that last year’s winner, the Tianhe-2 was being used for predictive simulations to do with nuclear explosive experiments.
The irony of the embargo is that China just went ahead and upped its own processor development.
As well as claiming the top spot for the world’s most powerful supercomputer for yet another year, 2016 also marks the first year that China has surpassed the US for the first time as being the country with highest number of the world’s most powerful supercomputers, albeit only just. The US has 165, China has 167.
Other countries to make the top 10 included Japan, Germany, Switzerland, and Saudi Arabia.
How is it a race when America is talking about the distant future, while China is doing it RIGHT now?
The US ban has merely delayed China by a mere matter of months, and instead of one exascale with US tech, as China's upgrades would have ben this year, 2016 will use not just one domestically designed product, but likely a different one for each project, in addition to Chinese designed technology and advancements.
If anything, the US's schizophrenic, paranoid foreign policies have just helped speed up Chinese advanced tech development and adoption, and caused the US lose quite a contract and gain competitors.
Oh look, its that Chinese poster again.
Go eat a dog with piss boiled eggs.

We do not talk about the music as it is but how it's created and what we use and how to help
others get better
1 simple rule I hope you can guys do, please don't be assholes to those who
have a different perspective on another DAW, no matter what it is or how shitty
it is. I know there are some very laughable ones out there but ya know...
So please just be as helpful as you can.

What are the best DAWs for GNU? I've got a friend who's really into making music and doesn't want to stop using Windows for this reason. I'm also somewhat interested in making music myself. If I could make a little tune and show him the alternative program while actually understanding it, that could help a lot.

damn 2 hours ago, my bad dude, I dunnot what you could use but I do know that FL works in wine very well.

I'm about to build a new PC on a budget. With all the shitposting going on, I wanted to make a thread with as little faggotry as possible.
I don't plan on overclocking, and I don't want to wait weeks for non-reference models. Will an RX 480 reference card be decent enough? I realize it's not a high end card, it just seems like despite all the shit it's getting on /g/ it's still a good value/performance card for 1080p
>>55268081
>With all the shitposting going on
Posting a thread asking for consumer advice isn't any better than shitposting, fuckstick.
>>55268115
Well memed my friend, I should have posted another gnu+Linux vs windows thread, or a smartphone thread. These certainly would be better than the faggots posting

Well first off what's your budget?

Hi /g/. I need a clarification regarding which of these 2 iPad models is better in terms of durability and performance:
iPad Pro
iPad Air 2
It will be mostly used for games, news and probably movies. Thanks in advance.
>>>wsr
Go for the air 2
>>55267889
First link in Google yielded this: http://www.knowyourmobile.com/apple/apple-ipad-pro/23342/ipad-pro-vs-ipad-air-2-bigger-faster-ipad-air-3-ios-10-specs-price-features
According to this, the iPad Pro has better specs. Not sure what either of these cost, but I guess I'd go for that one.
I'm considering going to university studying robotics. Is this stupid, as there are so few jobs available? Should I rather study something like CS/EE/MechEng?
If you live in the USA then there really aren't any B.S.R. degrees (bachelor of science robotics). I'm sure there might be some exceptions.
In the USA, if you are interested in robotics then you get a degree in EE or ME and attend a school that does research in that area. Random example:
http://www.robotics.gatech.edu/
If you are not in the USA then I don't know what to tellyou.
Good luck.
>>55267860
Just study CS, you can always become a robotics software engineer later.
>>55267860
Just finished my first year of Robotics at Plymouth UK, the field is like a mixture of Electronics, Programming and Engineering. You're right there aren't many pure Robotics jobs going atm, but the skills you'll learn will allow you to take many other types of jobs as well.
So if you like programming, electronics, engineering and maybe even neural networks then It's a great choice, but if you only like one then do that instead.

Is anybody going to buy a Kaby Lake processor or is everyone going to wait on the 10nm Cannonlake CPU's?
You can buy Skylake right now.

Nigger did you miss when skylake was delayed because they had problems getting 14nm out the door?
10nm is like 5-10 years away
