  1. HAHA linux is not stable. I hear this many times on this forum. Seems like you guys who say this can't configure/use it. But the truth is it's the most stable OS in the world! That's why it's used in many places! Repositories ARE app stores! You just type pacman -S vim and vim installs. If you want GUI there are graphical interface programs where you find software (say vim) click install and it just installs. What is it if it's not an app store? Resource usage matters! That is why linux can run on very slow hardware. If something is too old to run windows even xp which is outdated one can install modern linux on it and give a new life. My router also runs linux and it only has 128 MB RAM, i also have second with 32 MB RAM. Also it's about responsiveness. I like responsive computers and the way i have set up my arch is that things happen instantly. Kernel is optimized for responsiveness and for exactly my cpu generation. I use linux-ck-sandybridge. When i have to use mac or windows, i feel that those two are much slower then my system is. This is very important to me. And you can never ever modify mac or windows to be more responsive. Linunx works great on arm already. If computers will transit to arm chips it won't have any issues. First OS which will be 100% compatible with those kind of PCs will be linux. Mac and windows have so much software that won't run on arm also mac themself won't run on it.
  2. If you are good at something, never do it for free! Cool, but if he was black-hat hacker i guess he would have earned much more depending what kind of vulnerabilities he found.
  3. Cool, now apple fans would not have any argument to recomend macs. They already are overpriced as hell and give nothing to the user that others do not have for way less money but now HUH macbooks will suck! I guess they won't lower prices, because you know it's apple. I already use linux on arm and they run prety fast. You can make linux use so little RAM and resources. You will never be able to modify macos that way. Linux is coolest OS. You can run it on potatoe and in some programs it can be faster then mac on i7 My laptop with arch linux uses 145 MB RAM on fresh boot.
  4. You do not know what is going on here. There is a fine if you cross the street where it's prohibited BUT if you do this in front of a police car they won't stop you! They do not care! If you speak on phone while driving there is fine for it too, but still you CAN talk on phone while driving and if policeman sees you they won't care! They do not give a shit about us! 2 Weeks ago one 17 year old girl who does not even have driving licence ran into public road near lake and killed 1.5 year old little girl. They gave her JUST 3 year sentence. But this week there was a leak about one politicians private life video and 17 teenagers are arrested because they saw this video and did not report it in police. They are facing 4-8 years in prison because they JUST saw the video. Sadly in Georgia after 2012 year came russian people in government russian billionaire bidzina ivanishvili and they do everything to destroy our country. It's 7 years already everything is stopped here. No more development. Our currency which was 1.7 with USD now is at 2.73 with USD. They took previous presidents (Mikheil saakashvili) citizenship and 7 years already they blame him, but in reality they do not even make anything good for us. This is real Georgia! Not what it looks like from USA or from other countries. Here average salay is 400-600 GEL about 150$-225$ Veterans are payed 67$ and after 65 year peoples pansion is 65$!
  5. Not only looks. In my country people drive very dangerously. About 700-800 people are killed in road accidents and only in 2018 year 9 month period 6757 were injured. Georgias population is only 3.7 milion. This is like a jungle, strongest survives. If someone hits you in this car you have much more chance to die then for example in mercedes C classes. Japanese cars fold like paper in car accidents.
  6. Why do these hybrid/electro cars look like shit! I would not even sit in this car. It's so ugly! They are supposed to be prety so that everyone buys them and earth becomes greener, but it looks like they intentianly make them ugly so that they sell more gasoline cars.
  7. If you want free disk space du won't give you that. du will give you file/folder disk usages. Title is wrong then. OP did not want free disk space, he wanted file/folder sizes.
  8. I am a developer and windows is shit for me. One employee at our company uses windows and he can't do basic tasks in windows which others are doing in seconds in linux. It's just not suited for it. In linux you are the god. You can do literaly ANYTHING.
  9. Do not forget that on mac os it required BLANK password to enter the machine as root user LOL This kind of bugs that need physical interaction with the machine is less harmfull, because if an attacker/hacker already has your machine there well your screwed. Not that mac os bug. That's exceptional LOL Some programmer was VERY lazy checking password.
  10. I do not use browser sync and some people laugh at me. I just backup browser profile with other stuff.
  11. I do not even remember my passwords. I just remember algorithm i used to generate password in my head. This way when i want to log in on some website i regenerate password with that algorithm in my head and type it in.
  12. How can i not tell you that linux users are more advanced when you say things like this. Linux is not reliable, said no one ever! That is why people use it on servers, mission critical devices, supercomputers, smart cars and places like that. Linux is much more reliable then mac os or windows!
  13. Well looks like mac OS is for you. This is why i posted earlier that linux users are much more advanced then mac os users. Even windows users (More then mac os users quantity combined) are more advanced then mac os users. This is why you like mac os because adding kernel parameter is great wall of china for you. You stop and return where you came from.... First of you should choose distro wisely. I would suggest manjaro to you. I had never problems with it. Like i said before linux is all about giving choice to the user. You could easily blacklist radeon and os would use that "amdgpu thing" but you must research. Many people have written many topics about how to do some things in linux, that includes me. I have written dozens of topics. You just have to read
  14. Because nvidia does not open drivers and their drivers are crap on linux. Usually cause black screens and system boot problems. You clearly do not know what you are talking about! Saying it's linux fault that nvidia does not work well on it is like saying it's my fault that we have not landed on mars anyone yet. It's the nvidia who won't open their drivers and won't tell the comunity how their cards work. I do not know if you are a programmer and have worked with IOT, but without datasheets those controllers are gurbage. You won't be able to use them. Just like linux comunity is not able to create drivers for nvidia cards. It's nvidias fault! If they opened THEIR drivers comunity would fix all that bugs and improve them. Amd is good example here, they have opensourced drivers. Linux being stable does not need argument. Most supercomputers, smart cars, smartphones, smart everything, servers, routers and other devices run LINUX! Not windows, not mac os but linux! Linux is all about being open and give choice to user apple does not give you choice. It decides itself what you need, want, require and you can only agree to that and that's it. They do not give you a choice to use nvidia cards in their latest OS so you won't be able to. But in linux many people use nvidia gpus for things other then gaming. For machine learning, calculations, mining, rendering and so on. You said these sentences in THE SAME POST.
  15. Now make that windows taskbar disapear and never apear again on mouse movement to that place Windows 10 is slightly better then mac os when it comes to customizability. You are also not allowed to do many things in windows. On the other hand i can build my linux installation from scratch, i mean literally from scratch. Starting with kernel I can make my taskbar or dock apear in the middle of the screen if i want to. User is god in linux. He/She can change ANYTHING in it. Linux is WAYYYYYYY ahead of windows and macOS in this and in other things too be it security, privacy, speed, supporting slow hardware because of low requirements and so on and on. This goes like this Linux > windows > Any other OS > maybe you forgot some OS > mac os
  16. If you were good at linux you would know nvidia does not work well with linux. Hell it does not even work at all in latest mac OS Because nvidia is crap company! That is why linux creater said "Nvidia fuck you". Just disable nvidia gpu or tinker with it to get it working but do not use that as argument. This is not linux fault. Nvidia won't open drivers and they also won't create good drivers for linux!
  17. I used windows for many years. Started using linux in dual boot in 2009. I have also used mac os for about 8-9 months and then became full time linux user. mac os is slow! Animations make them even slower. Not responsive at all! Even latest macbook with latest and greatest NVMe ssd and latest mac os is slower then my t440s with SATA III ssd and arch + i3 wm configuration. My OS is VERY fast in terms of responsiveness. Blazing fast. I even have changed kernel for responsiveness. It uses only 170 MB RAM on fresh start. Very lightweight. And it does whatever i tell it to. Nothing more! Mac os is too locked down to the point that i think it's created for dumb users who can't use linux or unix but do not want windows. Mac os usualy drops support for some hardware (Why would you drop support for hardware that is ralatively new and works great). Mac os is shit when it comes to 3D performance and games. It does not come to close to windows when it comes to software support. Windows (I hate it) does all the things. It has shitload of support from developers. Games, 3D performance, production specific science equipment and medical equipment everything work in windows. It's more open then os that's based on unix. It's funny but this is truth. Yeah it slows down and you need reinstall, but that's not an argument to use mac os. There is linux for that. You can turn on your linux installation and never turn it off. It will work until your hardware dies I worked in earth sciences we had earthquick sensors network all over my countries teritories. Of course we ran linux. Linux is used in scientific researches. I worked there for 3 years and when i came main server had 1448 days uptime. I left that job and the server was not turned off during those 3 years. Imagine if it was windows server mac os server? That's funny LOL. mac os is not needed in any way. Windows can do anything! But if you want stable os that you install only once and it just works you can use linux. Privacy is much better then anywhere else, linux is highly customizable, you can have mac os looks on it, windows looks, you can do anything on it. Thing is mac os is used by people that do not know anything in computers. They are all noobs. They only know how to open browser and create new folder. That is why you must not argue with people that say mac os is better then some other os. They are not tech people. They just do not know. If they new they would not use mac os, PERIOD!
  18. LOL you just can't stop trying to make android users believe that iphone is better then android. Android is linux. Linux > any other OS EVER CREATED. Go pay premium for flexgate macbooks, shitty keyboards and designed to break hardware. If you break rear glass on newer iphones it costs 499$ to change it. LOL JUST A GLASS! I FUCKING LOVE apple because it ripps off their users like you, who do not understand anything in tech.
  19. LOL i have 256 GB SSD in my lapto. filled 50% of it. Never over it. I have SO MANY things on it. My nexus 5 & 4 are both 16 GBs. I always have 10 GB Free on them. Only once i could only leave 4 GB free but i was testing different OSs on them. I had 4 OS installed simultaniously. Quad boot. Android, ubuntu touch, sailfish, firefox OS.
  20. And here i am paying 18$ for 50 Mbit/s up and down in Georgia.
  21. Stop bragging about 3D Touch on the iPhone because Android O is bringing that feature to the Android world I have that feature on my nexus 4 & 5
  22. 1 NVMe does not matter. Other phone manufacturers have faster memory now. 2 3D touch from apple is stupid! Android added that feautre without adding new hardware to the phone and works flawlessly. 3 First device with fingerprint sensor was motorola atrix and first device with underscren fingerprint sensor Vivos phone. 4 Other companies have made much bigger steps in the technology. Example AMD. Made X64, first 1 GHZ CPU, first Dual core CPUs, Freesync, Vulkan. But no one talks about them.
  23. You forgot one very stupid fail from apple. These new macbooks dies when their batteries die I'll explain. If battery dies you can't turn it on even if you connect charger to it.
