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?
>>107680439>I guess you never heard of Windows ME (Millennium Edition)nobody installed that
>>107657868fuck yourself, jay
>>107675290more polished than Linux

Nice tell on yourself that your code was always worthless.

I am currently in possession of a Dell Precision 5550 my school gave me and didn't ask for back; this happened 1.5-2 years ago so I forgot I even had it. I would like to use this as a personal laptop to replace my old desktop; however, the BIOS is locked, and it is running heavily restricted Windows, making it practically just a web browser.I have already read a fair bit about how this is difficult but all info regarding actually unlocking it doesn't work--any advice? Is there a reliable way to do this without having to do anything to the BIOS chips? I am fairly technical but currently do not have access to the required tools for soldering/chip flashing. I do not have a USB-C flashdrive, but since I can't even open BIOS boot order due to admin lock, I doubt it would work.Laptop model: Dell Precision 5550Bios Version: 1.22.0BIOS Mode: UEFICPU: i7-10750HGPU: Quadro T2000 (Max-Q Design)RAM: 32GiBShould this be unfeasible/too painful, I am thinking of buying a ThinkPad P53 as an alternative.I can provide more specifics if need be.
Ask the school it deparment or give it back tyrone
>>107689375>I did the unlock in Lenovo X 250 a few years ago by short-circuit two branches in some chip to hard reset bios.That has been changed in later versions--see https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubleshooting-hardware-devices-and-electronics-theory/troubleshooting-laptops-tablets-and-mobile-devices/bios-requests-only/91555-bios-guides-methods-resources-and-tools#post1622423
>>107684663Wait, Debian is signed to work with the default Microsoft keys that are preloaded? Seems to me you could have that boot until it's to something you have control of and then kexec something else if you really want to.
>>107689440>>>107684663>Wait, Debian is signed to work with the default Microsoft keys that are preloaded? Seems to me you could have that boot until it's to something you have control of and then kexec something else if you really want to.Technically, yes, Debian's shim is signed with Microsoft's 3rd-party UEFI key, meaning it *can* boot under Secure Boot--but only if the firmware still has the Microsoft 3rd-party key "enrolled", which I doubt is the case here since this is specifically locked down.
>>107689303>I am currently using 11GiB ram and 16 GiB swapYou should be arrested for abusing your SSD like that.
Post hardware you think looks nice

When do you decide to buy a new laptop if you know the next year there will be a better one and the year afterwards an even better one? Why don't you wait next year for the better models? When do you put the cutout?When do you decide that "okay, the model this year is the one I'm buying and I will totally not regret my decision when newer models are released." Because it never ends.

What's /g/'s opinion on Mental Outlaw? I've been a fan of his for a long long time, he's the one that made me privacy conscious and made me switch to Linux. I remember once reading in one of his comment sections that he was "bullied off /g/" by some guy, is this true? Also, if you're seeing this thread Kenny, hi!
>>107670858I don't like what I see. Uses too much toner to print out the video.
>>107686420he looks arab though
>>107670858I don't see the appeal, it's the most surface level privacy analysis that would make any who has been longer than a year on /g/ roll his eyes.
>>107673783Luke Smith's greatest sin is visibly being a midwit, and him trying too hard to fit into what's considered cool on a Siberian Mental Outlaw X Distrotube fanfiction writing forum.
>>107681405One day when you finally workup the courage to ask a gay black man out, you'll be talking all about BBC as he nervously goes "haha yeah fo real", and when the moment of truth comes and you're waiting for the size you've fetishizing all this time, he pulls down his pants only to reveal a 5" erection. You'll cope not to ruin the moment, but then you'll hear more about him 'switch things up' and eventually "hey why don't you be da massa dis time."

Linus himself as said that if BSD wasn't in the legal situation it was in the early 90s he would have never made his kernel. What do you think the world would be like if BSD was being used for supercomputers and android and /g/ rather than linux? Would Free/Open/Dragonfly/NetBSD still exist or would eveyone just be using 4.3BSD/386BSD?
If you're one of those people with a severely autistic disdain for GNU, you'd probably love it. Otherwise it'd be the same bullshit but worse.

>>107688191If you like the Harman target or EQing to it, yeah
>>107688678Those amplify for headphones . Not line level so it wont sound the best
>>107689084Turn down your real DAC -6dB and check how much difference it makes. Spoiler: None. Even with good equipment it barely makes a measurable difference other than gross voltage, which presumably a decent amp has enough gain that it isn't a problem.
