can somebody tell where all this ppl are getting these sexy minimal mechanical keyboards & those desk sized mousepads? ty.

What does /g/ think of #! as a distro for a beginner? Any driver issues that I need to be aware of?

I am not too big on ricing, just want a clean and lightweight OS for my laptop.

Why should we encourage the masses to move to Linux? Do you realize all the malware writers would soon target Linux and therefore it would just end up like Windows? So from now on just say install Mac.

1 400 000 000 Unix time is in a little over an hour. Are you hyped? How has technology improved your life in the last 1157 days?

>What's Unix Time?
Unix time is the number of seconds since midnight, January 1 1970 UTC. It's used in Unix and Unix-like environments to keep track of time, and is even present in some Windows applications.

>Where have I seen Unix time used?
The filenames here on 4chan are the current Unix timestamp with milliseconds added.

>When's the rollover?
16:53:20 UTC today, which is 12:53:20 EST and 09:53:20 PST

>How often do these rollovers happen?
Once every 100 000 000 seconds! In more readable terms, here are the dates of the last few rollovers:

1 000 000 000: 1:46:40 am UTC | Sunday, September 9, 2001
1 100 000 000: 11:33:20 am UTC | Tuesday, November 9, 2004
1 200 000 000: 9:20:00 pm UTC | Thursday, January 10, 2008
1 300 000 000: 7:06:40 am UTC | Sunday, March 13, 2011

This means a rollover happens once every 1157 days, or 38.05 months.

what do?

>stock price steadily tumbling
>constant manufacturing delays for next iphone
>apple recalling 6 million iphone orders for shoddy build quality
>LG profitability in limbo due to fewer iphone component orders
>Samsung not even interested in supplying components anymore
>company looking to gimmick watches and fingerprint readers to reboot "cool image"

No, their profits aren't in jeopardy yet, but the era of the $800 stock price is over. The fanboy bubble has popped.

I'm switching from ubuntu to archlinux. Any advice about the installation or the use of arch?

Well /g/, Linux noob here/ I want to try Manjaro but not sure which DE to use.

Is gnome or openbox good for starters? I don't like the default xfce DE.

>A five-member panel at the FCC should not be dictating how Internet services will be provided to millions of Americans," Cruz said in a Wednesday afternoon statement. "I will be introducing legislation that would remove the claimed authority for the FCC to take such actions, specifically the Commission's nebulous Sec. 706 authority. More than $1 trillion has already been invested in broadband infrastructure, which has led to an explosion of new content, applications, and Internet accessibility. Congress, not an unelected commission, should take the lead on modernizing our telecommunications laws. The FCC should not endanger future investments by stifling growth in the online sector, which remains a much-needed bright spot in our struggling economy.
