Linux desktop has come far in recent years.

combine rolling release beta release with file system snapshots (brtfs or zfs or even ext4 with backup solution)

this is what you need to run to have a dynamic, up to date and fast desktop with support for recent hardware without sacrificing stability and uptime thanks to the snapshots.


anything else is asking for trouble or not being able to compile anything new because your package versions are too stable (too old) or crashing everything because you run beta testing packages without a backup.

>>106499188
the advantage of being current is being able to compile more stuff without having to look for corresponding versions.

Did you make an individual thread? If yes, please link it here, as , being a bit busy yesterday and not able to open /g/ much, I couldn't see your post. Furthermore, it is rather surprising that, in spite of being a well-respected and well-known guy here on the /bst/ enclave, anons gave you unhelpful and bad replies. I would like to remedy the situation at once.

Oh, come now. You're perfectly well-versed with security protocols. I've seen you talk and function in the previous threads. You've got a good grasp of how it all works.

Thanks for the link.
Yea, 1 year is a very conservative estimate but there are a few things that I want to do. I still want to get better at typing on my current keyboard and see if my preferences change. I'm still optimizing my layers etc. and have to decide whether I need the number row, or the outer keys. I might even go with a design that has a single outer pinky key instead of either 3-4 or none.
I wanted to practice soldering on some easier projects, maybe also learn about 3d printing.
Some of that isn't necessary to just get a keyboard quickly but I hope it's also fun to do.

Yep. I bet Sayaka is a pretty fast runner and good swimmer. Just imagine her chasing down Laurie. Unrelenting like a terminator robot. Then leaping onto her (with the sound of bionic woman jumping). Taking Laurie down to the ground and immobilizing her between her powerful muscular thighs. Then Sayaka produces red hot soldering iron from her tight sport bra and proceeds to rape-solder Laurie. Molten solder ejaculating, dripping everywhere, burning Lauries feeble body. Nice.

What's the point in developing programs for non-Apple platforms?

Don't buy anything OTHER THAN IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad T, X, and W/P Series if you want the Real Business Experience™

Why ThinkPad?
>Used machines are plentiful and cheap
>Excellent keyboards, tactile feel and quiet + the TrackPoint
>Great durability: magnesium roll cage 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 (most models), upgrade & maintain thanks to readily available service manuals for every model, spare parts easy & cheap to obtain
>Excellent Linux & *BSD support
