>please change the boards theme to blue; this one suggests NSFW.

Blue's such an ugly color though.

Is there a Linux Mint distro that has a usable icon alignment feature? I'm using MATE and my desktop looks completely ugly.

Any good anti-virus and protection app for Android 5.1 ?

I got offered some chinese ware I fear may already be infected.

I would have asked elsewhere but /sec/ and /android/ look dead

Try Bitdefender for Android.

I upgraded from broadband to fibre-optic a few months ago. Since then my ID within a thread will change from post to post.

Anyone know why?

Sorry, there is no stupid questions thread in the catalog so I asked here

How much gpu(s?) do I need to run 3 1920x1200 panels at 60+fps on AAA gaems high settings 2 years from now?

Use overchan or something

I liked MATE, but Xfce is much better at the cost of slightly more mb RAM.

>>4056

Yikes. You're probably not going to need that i7 unless you're doing a lot of intense, multithreaded shit like rendering audio/video.

Change to a static IP.

Nvidia or AMD?

My pc broke and my dad is lending me his windows10 laptop while I buy a new one.

I want to dual boot linux on it to avoid having to use windows10, which distro should I pick?

I don't want to become some leet haxxor mega geek that builds all of his programs from source, I just want to not use TempleOS. The easier to use distro is the best choice for me

I was thinking of Ubunto, but I always see people flinging shit at it for one reason or another.

It was dumb of me to expect a quick reply? I am actually waiting for an answer as I am installing Universal USB Installer

Got myself a new motherboard the other day, so I bought some thermal paste/grease since the old stuff's probably never been changed and I know I've moved the fan/heatsink around a few times before. Since the mb came with a new processor as well, I decided to switch the old one out. I tried applying the paste (I did wipe the old paste off pretty good) and started up the computer, and all it did was spin fans. The light in the power button didn't even come on.

I'm sure everything was plugged in properly. Taking it apart, wondering if I didn't use enough of the stuff, I noticed a small scratch in the surface of the new processor. I thought that was the issue, so I got my old processor back out and reapplied the goo. It's still doing the same thing, just spinning fans and not going anywhere. I googled some answers and nothing good came up. Tried draining the power by unplugging the power cable and the periphs and holding the button down for 30 seconds, but that didn't do any good. All the other answers had to do with a dead mb or a dead power supply, and I know both of those are fine because the computer ran the other night.

For what it's worth, the old processor with the original paste still on it ran just fine, but that's shot now since I wiped it clear for the new paste.

Any ideas, wizards?

If you mean creating a work under a free+libre and open source license, then releasing another version under a proprietary license or without source code, then possibly. If the original program or component is under a copyleft license, then you must pass on the four freedoms to whoever you give copies of it, although lax permissive licenses do not have this condition.

An example is the X Window System. It is licensed under the permissive MIT X11 license, which permits distributors to sub-license it in whole or part.

Anyone know of software for windows that will let you virtually move/rename files and directories all you want, then apply all the changes you made after you're done reorganizing? That way you don't have to waste hours waiting for each read or write to finish in between steps because it doesn't actually make the changes until you're ready to apply them. Seems like this would be fairly trivial to make so it exists but I've yet to find anything like this.

So I have a 23 inch LED that I'm using default VGA cable for. My system has HDMI port, and the monitor can take DVI.

Would switching cables have much benefit? Or would the conversion make it a waste?

Okay, thanks. I actually tried out XFCE in a virtual machine before I saw this post and I'll be switching over one of these days. I really like how much more customizable it is, although I always assumed it was more lightweight than MATE.

>>4168

Go with Mint. It just werks.

This isn't something to do with TOR, you just can't skip phone verification if you have javascript disabled.

>>4182

I'd check to see if any lint or dust got into the socket.

I'd check anything you may have bumped or changed in the process.

>>4240

if the monitor uses DVI-I then no it's still analog.

if the monitor uses DVI-D then yes, a hdmi to DVI-D cable will be an improvement over vga/d-sub

>>4282

Even with it enabled there is no skip button!

Also, how can one use Skype over TOR? Using orbot on an android emulator? Or something else? Would TAILS work?

Only with GNU your freedom is true.

fucking github sjws...

Will I get a reply to this question before Xmas or what?
