Can this be our next meme distro? Can we stop telling new people to install arch and posting about arch in every thread?
But why?
Unlike arch, this is just a normal distro, that more or less just works.
also, the userbase is mostly just normal, old dudes.
where's the fun in that?
No one will waste time on it, or feel elitist about it.
install slackware
Obviously the next meme distro should be Alpine Linux.

I stumbled on this article a couple days ago

I've been using linux for about 7 years now and I've seen no mention that entering your password in a sudo prompt in a terminal emulator is bad practice. (Although I started in Ubuntu, so they might just be cucks)
From what I'm seeing, it would be easy for anyone that has access at my user level to quickly get root access and install rootkits and shit.
I'm not sure how I'm supposed to feel about...

What do you think of the Cuckbook?

Needs MagSafe and to be cheaper.

only thing it has going for it is its looks

If it were cheaper I'd definitely buy one for my wife's son.

Which president will be worse for privacy /g/?
We all know that both Clinton and Trump are both NSA shill.
Trump will be worse for privacy worldwide.
Hillary will be worse for American's privacy.
Anyone who says otherwise is uninformed, shitposting, or a shill.
>>55137337
Please be bait.
Clinton is the worst in all aspects.

Other business laptops are also welcome in /tpg/ (e.g. Dell Latitude/Precision, HP EliteBook/ZBook).
----
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", ultraportable
----
Why ThinkPad? (also applies to other business laptops)
>Used machines are plentiful and cheap.
>Excellent keyboards - tactile feel and quiet.
>Great durability: chassis uses a magnesium rollcage for structural integrity, with high quality plastic body panels.
>Utilitarian design: e.g. indicator LEDs, 7 row keyboard layout on older models.
>Docking stations that easily turns your laptop into a desktop.
>Easy to repair, upgrade and maintain thanks to readily available service manuals for every model. Spare parts are easy and cheap to obtain.
>The best trackpoint (that red thing in 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.

Kind of pissed. Fell for the ThinkPad meme and got a P50s.
Love the device and it performs great, but it's been just over a month and the fucking screen bezel is already coming off, so I have to get a replacement. Will Jewnovo ship me a new one before I have to send mine back? Otherwise I might just request a refund and buy something else.
Ideally I'd like to know how I can just fix this myself with some sort of safe glue?
Pic related, but obviously not my device.

Welcome to /fglt/. We are always open to users of all levels, including absolute beginners.
There are four ways to try GNU/Linux, you can:
0) Install a GNU/Linux OS on a VM (Virtual Machine/VirtualBox) for "safety purposes"
1) Use the Live ISO directly without installing anything, that way, you can get a "full GNU/Linux experience".
2) Dual-boot GNU/Linux with Windows/Mac (recommended if you want to learn more about GNU/Linux)
3) Go balls...

How do you deal with old kernels in *buntu? I've been using kubuntu for a few weeks and I already have 3 kernels installed, I thought that it kept current and last previous version and removed the rest but it seems they are kept unless removed explicitly. Am I missing something? I don't want a million kernel versions in /boot.
How do you change the default terminal in Arch?
I want urxvt to open when I choose "open a terminal here" in Thunar.
Thunar custom action isexo-open --working-directory %f --launch TerminalEmulatorbut TerminalEmulator is not an environment variable. I tried replacing "TerminalEmulator" by "urxvt" without success.
>>55133835
have you tried the window class of urxvt? Isn't it something like URxvt?
