Any version of Windows since 1995 has been more polished, production-ready and user-friendly than any Linux distro ever made. That's obvious to anybody who has installed both of them on the same machine.Are Linux users just lying about their distros being a better experience than a Windows installation?

>>107664348other than being very simple and making code straightforward to read and easy to understand
>>107668140Nigger if two people tried to replicate it and failed that goes to show it’s hard to parse. I would model it with a state machine with clear transition logic in a declarative way with a fluent builder. It’s more verbose but everyone understands what’s going on and is easier to extend. If you’ve got your clever gotos scattered across 10 files good luck adding a new phase or removing a phase without breaking something
>>107667900This is actually pretty close to a state machine diagram.In the fall-out after “‘goto considered harmful’ considered harmful” was published it was generally accepted that an attitude of banning gotos altogether is a mental illness.I use them all the time, now, and more frequently.It’s true that some BASIC programs were a little hairy looking with too many gotos (if you didn’t know about shit like TRON)Compare this “evil” of one or two gotos with the entire javascript code residing in a single web page from something like youtube.
>>107669240>I would model it with a """Clean Code""" style SOLID weapon of Java multiton strategy just like my OOP professor would expect me to.Gooooooooood morning saar!!!>>107669354Goto is literally a device to make Mealy machines using the program counter as the state variable. The comical thing about Dijkstra's letter is that his arguments apply as is to recursive functions, but everyone has been pretending otherwise for whatever reason. Like we're supposed to not nootice the context of the letter was that everyone was programming in Fartran because C's scope-restricted gotos weren't even a thing yet.
>>107663909Avoiding gotos made sense back when IDEs were very barebones but at this point with modern debugging tools and search tools and UIs I don't see any reason not to use gotos other than code readability. I first learned to "code" writing shitty command line programs in batch and that only had gotos, no functions or anything like that. As long as you named the gotos and variables reasonably, you could just use CTRL+F to find what you need. And it's impossible to not use "gotos" in lower level languages since everything relating to loops, conditionals, or functions depends on jumps.

How good are the Intel Thinkpads for things like gaming, video editing, and playing with code? Biggest game I would play on it would be ZZZ.

I use QubesOS with detached boot partition on 2 duplicated USB drives with any data that rests on the SSD/HDDs being encrypted with LUKS2. Whonix gateway is proxied through a VPN qube to hide Tor IPs (can't hide communication patterns) without bridges since bridge IPs can be farmed. Sometimes Tor through I2P outproxy or vice-versa or with different anonymizing network overlays. Clients used for browsing are only opened in on-RAM ephemeral qubes with no access to permanent storage. Attack surface is quite minimum since no extra things added like USB mouse and no PV qubes (aside from sys-usb and sys-net) are used for launching HVM qubes with qemu stub domains unless very necessary and every other qube on the system gets shut down first to keep information leakage minimum. A veracrypt volume with hidden storage on a permanent qube for data storage and plausible deniability.what's your setup like?
>>107666084I use Serpent cipher.
>>107668982>>107669013what's a good general purpose linux distro to run inside of qubes or VMs that compliments it well? a lot of distros ship by default with annoying programs installed that make unnecessary outbound connections or use port 80 by default for repository packages. gets tedious trying to reconfigure, disable or remove packages every new VM creation.
>>107664217>what's your setup like?I use an ASUS laptop running Windows 10 on the public wifi from McDonald's across the street. Been doing this for 3 years and never been compromised. Your schizo "muh privacy" measures are all just placebos and actually do nothing.
>>107669564>gets tedious trying to reconfigure, disable or remove packages every new VM creation.You should just do that from the VM template(s), so that every new VM created based on that template would already have those changes applied. Unfortunately, you can't really just install [insert random distro here] and have it integrated as seamlessly as one of the preconfigured template VMs because the VMs need some extra qubes-related packages in order for them to integrate like they're supposed to. Otherwise it will be like running a whole virtualized, independent desktop inside the VM window like you do with 'traditional' VM software, and that's not really the point of Qubes.So, what you should do is select one of the existing templates, then make all the changes to your template to remove the unwanted software etc. Then make all your appVMs based on your improved template configuration. That way, instead of having to make these modifications every time you create a new VM, you only have to do it once, and the new VMs will adopt these changes automatically.>Official templates:>Fedora-42>Debian-13>Fedora-minimal>Debian-minimal>Community templates:>Ubuntu>ArchComment too long.

>>107669621How would you know if you've been compromised? You think you're going to see a pop-up window saying "I've been owned"? If you read between the lines, OP is clearly doing some "dangerous" stuff online and probably needs security/anonymity more than you. Just because you haven't been owned doesn't mean someone couldn't do it if they wanted to.
