In the market for a new GPU. Currently looking at the GTX 1070, thoughts?
>>55120021
It's better value than the rx480, I say go for it.
Wait for amd to release their shit, 1070 price will drop
>>55120059
>~20% more powerful for nearly twice the cost
>better value
Try telling me that this isn't the best smartphone on the market right now.

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 deep and overwrite everything with GNU/Linux
Before asking, please search for answers to your questions in resources.
Please be civil, notice the "Friendly" in every Friendly GNU/Linux Thread.
Understand that much of your software from Windows will be unavailable, although maybe WINE can make up for it.

Have to install arch for class. got base installed and the like (i.e. finished beginners guide). what are the best post-installation steps? bit of a linux newbie.
Fuck, KDE5 got wrecked again. As soon as I unplug my 2nd monitor, Plasma just shits itself, and remains shat, even after a reboot. Only plugging my monitor back in, makes it return to normal, just as if nothing had happend.
Problem is: It's a fucking laptop, so I need to be able to use it without its external monitor.
Last time this occured, only a reinstall fixed it.
Now that is a known bug, but seems like it wont get fixed, and I cant fucking have a work machine, where I am afraid of every single display unplugging fucking my machine, and costing me a few hours of reinstalling and configuring shit.
So, what do?
Switch distros?
I'm on fedora, and used to quite like it, but supposedly, Suse has a few KDE patches of their own still. Used to use suse back in the days where you actually could buy a box full of DVD'S and handbooks, and it was quite comfy, but somwhere along the way, they kinda lost their focus. Worth returning to?
Ubuntu? Tried it once, and I was appalled by it. I am all for an easy, just-werks-out-of-the-box experience, but that shit is so dumbed down that I actually felt offended.
CentOS? I really, really want to go back to KDE4, instead of that pre-alpha mess that is 5, but the fact that rpmfusion is dead means that I wont get a lot of software, unless I compile myself (fuck that) or enable some one-man-autist-show repos, that might insert whatever into my system.
Something else I am missing?
Or switch DEs?
But I already tried gnome, and it was as insulting as ubuntu. And if I have to spend hours to figure out in what fucking syntax I have to write the config files of some one-man-autist-show DE, where I have to do everything manually, I'd rather waste those hours fixing/reinstalling KDE, since that actually works (if it works, that is…)
Or just give up, and reinstall windows? I still have an 8pro licence lying around, that I can either still "upgrade" to 10 (…probably not), or "downgrade" to 7pro.
>>55119490
Arch Linux with Plasma 5. Just works.
Didn't see one so I thought I would make one for my own terrible question.
Simple question, should I?

I'm just looking for the best bang for my buck large as hell HDD to store movies and crap on.
I wont have any games on it, so as far as I know speed isn't a big deal (right?). It will be nothing but PDFs, movies, and other non-active crap.
I'm currently trying to decide between it and a WD blue 6TB for $199 since it has much better reviews.
Open to suggestions though, I know just about nothing.
why are there three sqts on page 0?

I checked SQT on the catalog and didn't see anything, my bad.

I like my rattling stabilizers because then I really know when I'm using the extended keys .

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.

Just picked up a T60, what's a good OS for it? Trying out Mint right now, but not really feeling it.
>>55100188
Debian unstable
>>55100188
Hi T60 user. I'm using lubuntu right now with the HDD that came with my T60 and it boots up really fast. The WM is very responsive and quick because LXDE uses a lot from OpenBox.
Any good alternatives out there?
>>55132556
What for? Latex can do lots of things.
Also latex is pretty great if you use the right frontend.
latex has a harsh learning curve but calling it trash makes it seem like you just haven't gotten through it.
as for alternatives, no, there aren't any good ones for the common use cases of latex. your best bet is to find a user interface (like sharelatex or overleaf or sublime text with the right plugins) to make the learning curve less awful.
i guess it's possible you're too stupid for latex, but keep in mind that millions use latex despite it being hard at first, so we're not going to give half a shit about how much of an imposition it is that you have to learn something unfamiliar.
If you just started, keep going. LaTeX is super easy to learn, like, if you can't grasp LaTeX, I don't think you should be on /g/. LaTeX has basically replaced word or writer for me, it's that easy.
Post cure mini itx cases
VCR/Console sized cases welcome
Full towers not welcome
Please no bully, i found it for cheap, i just want a cheap mini itx case because all the good ones are "Designer" 100 bucks cases
>>55132275
The problem with this case is that you're limited to the 330W Dell AC adapter.
That said, an X51 R2 with the 330W AC adapter will run an i7 4790, 16GB RAM, 500GB EVO, 1TB WD Blue (2.5") and a GTX980, without throttling.
But that is the maximum limit of your available power, and allows for no overclocking.
>>55132328
I will use an rx 480 and a nice cpu.
>mini itx with an APU
Yeah whatever
>mini itx with GPU
Oh shit nigger what are you doing
mini-itx cases that take a full size gpu are just shorter micro-atx cases
That said are there itx boards with m.2 yet?
