  1. chrome: Version 62.0.3202.94 (Official Build) (64-bit) firefox: version 57. i
  2. an no i only have 1 extension in firefox active and its the same one i have active in chrome!
  3. so i decided to try out the new firefox because i was tired of chrome eating up so much resouces and firefox is actually twice as intense as chrome in terms of memory! WTF!
  4. Hi, im trying to update my laptop to 32 gigs of ram, and I was hoping for a recommendation on ram. I found a good deal on a crucial memory stick but i dont want to buy a crummy brand. if crucial makes good ram, or you know a better brand please let me know! Workload: programming, gaming.
  5. go to woot.com. there are a lot of manufacturer refurbished desktop/laptos on there for cheap. thats about the best youre gonna do for 500 usd. if you could up it to 8, check out the dell xps13. there will almost certainly be sales on it and the xps line just, so so good.
  6. youre absolutely right it is a lot easier. i found a walktrhough on ubuntus forum page to install it on the exact xps 15 config i bought. and yeah that sounds about right. apple makes good stuff but its so locked down and horribly expsenive. i got my xps 15 for 1100 dollars and this config with a mac is closer to 2300 usd. thanks for your help man!
  7. well i tried making a bootable media for ubuntu 16.04 to run on my mac, it kept giving me this no bootable disk found error or something. i hadnt heard of rufus, ill check it out thanks! and you do make a good point about windows and the 15. ill look into it
  8. just starting on my computer science degree, and im looking for a laptop to replace my 2009 imac, so literally a chromebook would be a step up for me. but im wanting something thats good good specs, is durable, and isnt windows. i also kinda suck at making installation disk, so i started looking into different companies that ship with linux and im liking system 76 lemur for value and upgradability, but ive never seen one of their laptops before or seen a lot of reviews for them, and seen dozens of reviews raving about the xps 13, so that seems like a good safe option, but if i can get the specs i want for about 600 buck less in a good quality laptop, why pass that up? -{ 8 gig ram, dualcore i7, 250 ssd, at least usb 3.1 and sdcard reader} so should i go with the lemur or xps? or if you have some other option..
