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.

struct entity_data
{
 string entity_name;
 float entity_px; //position
 float entity_py;
 float entity_pz;
 float entity_rx; //rotation
 float entity_ry;
 float entity_rz;
};

//Later, in muh code:
 entity_data e_cop;
 e_cop.entity_name = Cop;
 e_cop.entity_px = 0.0; //whatever this is
 e_cop.entity_py = 0.0; //just a demo
 e_cop.entity_pz = 0.0;
 e_cop.entity_rx = 0.0;
 e_cop.entity_ry = 0.0;
 e_cop.entity_rz = 0.0;

Why does gcc kick my teeth in when I try to store entity_name?

So, first we ditched the trackers.

We even got rid of the torrents.

Then we left the servers to enter the clouds.

Now, we're about to take the biggest step in our history.

As piracy is about to change from sharing of files into the sharing of everything, we're planning our departure from this earthly form. Preparing our final ascension into the transcendence. The final conflux.

No, this is no longer science fiction. With the next version of this humble venture, you'll be able to see, hear and feel everything that is a part of The Pirate Bay. How you use it is up to you.

In cooperation with russian, israeli and japanese neuro scientists, we are developing a device that will embrace your entire mind. Using laser projections directly onto the retina it'll no longer be any resolution but 100%. The sound will be delivered in a range from 12Hz to 79kHz and will cancel all noise from the outside world.

Using a simple plugin into the the brain, you will no longer only be able to see and hear a movie, a game or whatever it is you want. You'll be able to live it. Play the main character. Tweak any story in any way you want.

Using your brain power and nervous system, we will be able to speed things up. Every part of The Pirate Bay will be stored within you and everyone else that dares to participate in this step into the future. The more we are, the faster everything will be. Our scientists calculate that if we become at least 1 333 337 nodes, everything will be shared instantaneously.

Forget about the outside world. This is the new.

The Virtual Bay - 12/13/14

Well the admins on my last torrent site basically told me to fuck off because I hadn't logged in in 2 months (even though I was upping the entire time and had a 40:1 ratio).

Where do you guys download games and shit?
