2. Customization (especially KDE)

4. Reliability
5. Choice
6. Low/no chance of malware
7. POSIX compliancy
8. Revives old laptops. 
9. Live USB
10. Coding

So, I came here to repeat what I've said in a reddit thread. For a lot of people who work with a number of windows this is a killer feature that is often gets sweeped into other categories, like "Customization" or "Flexibility", but really it's a league of it's own.
 
Tiling WMs
 
They are very popular among Linux users, and they allow for radically different and more clean and effective workflow where windows are always 100% of the screen, they don't move around on it's own, your workplaces are split and positioned like you want them no matter how many times you switch between them and you are fully in control. Stacking just doesn't make a lot of sense if you think about it - if you have a lot of windows open and have to constantly switch between them most people would have these in fullscreen and switch around by alt-tab or mousing over the panel. It seems that even stacking users prefer having windows to be 50/50 of screen space when moving files for example - because often you would put two file manager windows next to each other by using smart snapping or use a two-panel file manager. Stacking allows for much less chaotic experience, where apps don't get to steal focus, you can very conveniently open a few windows, like a terminal, documentation and your editor in one logical organized space and then switch to another without anything being moved. Per-app rules allow to have your browser always on the second tab, for example, or always on another monitor, etc. You really have to try it and hop this learning curve to see what is it you are missing.
 
Another thing I feel obligated to mention is how better Linux filesystems are. What other operating systems have to de in Hardware like Optane Linux does with bcache and ZFS freely and effortlessly.

Mine too, it's not ultrawide I just have three monitors. Have you tried Devuan Testing / Sid, lots of packages, great stability and no SystemD. 

Here, this will help:

 

What??? Linux has the most organize file system ever. 
 
 

The XPS 15 9560 sounds like what you need. And for VMs get 16 or 32 gigs of ram.

i swear what's the deal with the script kiddies on this forum recently?

As long as you don't make it run at startup and just run it when you need it, also if you don't plan on installing more than one DE you can just open the GUI/DE with "startx" and just logout from the GUI/DE when you are done. Doing it that way wouldn't impact performance at all when not using the GUI/DE. Besides that, unless you use your server for rendering or other CPU-intensive tasks it shouldn't even matter if the GUI/DE are running or not. My ubuntu server just running samba, vncserver and LXDE uses about 250-300 MB's of ram for example. I do understand you concern however, messing with servers with critical data is always "exciting", but you would really have to screw something up removing a package to do any damage whatsoever. I hope it works out for you and that I have cleared it up a bit. The LXDE package for ubuntu takes up about 1 GB of storage (It comes with firefox and whatnot) if that is a concern to you.

I'd be very happy about feedback!

Hey guys!
 
I'm pretty new to overclocking, but as soon as I started to overclock my system, I thought that there are not many nice tools to benchmark your cpu.
 
As a student (I'm studying computer sciences) I have some time to work on my own projects and that's why I developed my own CPU benchmark. YACOB. Pronounced like the name "Jacob".
 
It's an assembly of different open-source tools, 7zip, Blender and ffmpeg. All these tools will put a lot of stress onto your cpu, which makes them excellent  to use them as a benchmark.
 

 
YACOB has a built-in comparison, so you can see instantly how much performance you gained between the benchmarks.
 

 
If you are interested, you can have a look on YACOBs website: https://yacob.sourceforge.io/
 
I would appreciate all kinds of critics and your opinion on what I made!
 
Greets,

P.S.: I did not register in this forums to just tell you about YACOB! But until now, there just was not enough reason for me to participate on here 

Never seen that exact RAM before but I have heard good things about Apacer before. But don't take my word for it.

Any of the beefy gaming laptops with desktop hardware in them would do the job, but if you need something lighter you might wanna look into a workstation laptop like the ones Dell and Hp makes. You really need something with a GPU or dGPU,  preferrably an Nvidia one because of CUDA acceleration. The Dell XPS 15 would be great if you don't need to do heavy video or 3d rendering.

That's a really cool idea, i'm surprised I haven't seen that before. Also I have a certain fondness for stuff mounted on pc cases. +1 for creativity. 

Quick question: how did you come up with "Floatplane" as a name? How did that even occur to you?
