>>106981971Probably none. But only because I'm a turbonormie. I'll just use whatever werks and not worry about privacy too much.

>>106982563Refurbished computers are a scam.It all stem down to the EU coercing its companies to do random crap for "muh ecology" sake.One such thing is to reduce your e-waste.Companies replace their computers pools every 3~6 years, or so. They have to, of course, because your average office computer become a stuttering mess after the 3 years mark.And it was obviously considered terrible from an ecoterrorist perspective. Because a decade back, those computer were simply sent to the trash.So some smartass came up with a clever idea : send the computers away to some specialized enterprise to be refurbished and resold. That way, you're no longer throwing away e-waste. The retard buying the refurbished computer is. Blame shifted.Obviously, that scam requires dumb fucks to actually buy the resulting shitputer.The dumb fuck in question is you.
>>106982634>Refurbished computersno one else mentioned these, we either mentioned old thinkpads or thinkpads in general you say in your post >a decade back. what happened before that decade? what do you think old means? anyway if you manage to get a working thinkpad or other such laptop from pre 2018 for under 30-50 dollars then its not a meme. if you buy a thinkpad from last year for 2600 dollars then you fell for the meme, is that clear enough?
>>106981971>ArchI was a loonix user before even I came to /g/ but /g/ name me fall for the arch meme and I wasted so much of my precious time and energy to install the most optimum setup, rice the most optional desktop, etc... until I gave up all and now comfily use Mint out of box. >ThinkPad This I definitely fell because of /g/, I got an old Thinkpad T480 for $250.
i think i can confidently say none. its blatantly obvious less than 5% of the people here know shit about anything. less than half the posts are even made by whites
>>106981971>cherry switch keyboards (should have bought Topre from the start)>MDRV6 and M40X (disliked both)>Porta Pros (love them)>Thinkpad (it's mostly fine)>Arch (rolling release borked my setup after a week, I said fuckit and switched to debian)

>>106983084Just kidding, I like that I fell for those "memes" except the custom mechanical keyboard thing, I lost interest, and I'm happy with a wooting or a nuphy. But sometimes I want an Ngreedia card, because of AI and then I remember that Ngreedia is still dogshit on Loonix...
>>106981971I fell for split keyboards AND colemak. I now use a ducky QWERTY keyboard again.
I've been using the same laptop for 7 years because a friend recommended it to me.

>>106982563What's better than vim?I'm also about to fall for i3.
>>106983220I like my split so far but alt layouts are just too much work to get fast again and then they even have a few downsides, like shortcuts.If they were better by absolutely all metrics I would probably do it.
>>106982078I like there's just one peg on the wall, so the number can't go above 9.
>>106984113dwm i3 is bloat

>>106985186There's language sub cults/communities, so to speak, in here. Rust is one of them, but of course, Cniles are way more.
>>106981971tiling wmsyou can just use gnome to get almost as quick context switches without the hassle of ricing your ugly ass useless config
Fell for CachyOS (I still like it)Then fell for Arch (I still use it)I install the CachyOS kernel, headers, repos and their automated hardware detection scriptAt this point I should just use Cachy but I fucking hate the logo so I'm staying in Arch
>>106983959>i wish i could go back to loonix desuwhy, what on loonix do you miss yuki poster? libreoffice seems reliable enough for college, doubt they'd care what you use.
>>106981971Mechanical keyboards.None of them matches the Model M.
>>106981971I fell for a few1. some retarded IEMs I won't name - turns out they sound like shit2. GNU/Linux - still too dumb to use it correctly. I'm a gnometard so it's basically a meme. 3. 2500k - I used this before it was a meme

>>106981971None, I use Dell Latitude 7390 with Arch Linux on it, not because it's l33t but because it just works and i have a local repo on my nvme so I will never suffer due to DDOS'
none
>>106981971mechanical keyboard, desktop headphone amp stack, Linux on an ancient business laptop (Fujitsu t1010) as a hobby,
someone convinced me to buy an AMD FX8350 when they were new in 2012. it was so utterly shit that I RMA'd it and went back to my overclocked core2duo from 2007 and ran it for several more years. I think that's the one time I really fell for a meme

>>106981971>not enough money>not enough careeasy to avoid the memes. maybe win11, I forgot I was using it for a year, it just works. It's not saying or blocking a thing
>>106983288I like Gentoo and my Thinkpad, but Yuru Yuri is right up there on the list of /g/ memes that I'm glad that I fell for
>>106985377How do you do it on Gnome? I was thinking maybe I'll just write a few scripts.
>>106982634dumb schizo
>linux (arch btw)>emacs>thinkpad>tiling wmFeels good.
I'm thinking of getting a mechanical keyboard. what am I in for?
>>106991009The keypresses feel slightly different and the sound is different. Switching to a mech keyboard is no big deal at all, I don't know why people make it out to be one.If you are autistic (like me) go for a split ergo, that's actually a big difference (for better or worse).
>>106991210I'm a bit concern I will sell my parents TV so I can participate in obscure keycap groupbuys
>>106981971None, I always take /g/ents' opinions with heaps, sacks, and crates of salt.

>>106991767sucks. the whole 'boot drive' thing never got me, but it was unrelenting not just /g/, all the youtubers were like "yeah get a 128gb nvme for windows and X for your games"
>>106991767>>106991805classic winfaggot problems LOL. on Linoox you just assemble a jbod and can throw anything anywhere without carefully policing where each folder goesI guess that's a solution for a white man with a white OS only
