So I just got around to setting up my PC to Dual Boot Linux and uh...

Yo, dude? I'm loving Linux so much right now. Can't wait to start delving into Linux because this is pretty cool.

You know white glint got me thinking, is unkown source apks normal for android? What about move to SD? On ics btw.
It's relatively normal if you aren't installing from the app store most of the time. Some devs have apps that aren't on the app store for example, so the only way to install them is through allowing unknown sources.

Now by move to SD do you mean installing the app TO the SD or installing from it?

Buyer's remorse is quite possibly the worst thing to happen.
Oh yeah, for certain.

I find my TV looks all the nicer if you up the saturation by about 5% or so in the settings. Everything looks more lifelike, really.

For the past day or two I noticed that my screen was a little small in resolution… and just now I went into my CP and noticed I had it set at 900p. :P



Oh, by the way, distributions like Arch may be a pain, but they are so, so worth it. Practically every program on your OS you install and configure yourself. That sort of control is very useful, huh? In the realm of keeping junk off your PC that you don't want, I mean.

Not to mention how efficient it is. Is it me or is Windows just getting fat?

Which older version was it? Was it one of the ones I linked? Speaking of such, I should get back to Oryx and see if the .apk I posted worked. If you did everything and still no go, I'll see if I can find a better working one. I'd give you mine but the font on it is extra weird and I don't think you'd like that.

And as far as installing to the SD Card, I THINK there are some apps for that in the app store. I'll download a couple and let you know which ones worked for me.

I was gonna go for Arch but I wanted to go for the one that was a little more friendly towards beginners to start out with, so I went to Mint.

Windows being fat can be somewhat managed if you de-bloat it a little bit. There's a setup you can use that makes your system a little more responsive and less resource hoggy. It had to do with uh...msconfig I believe.

Windows is resource hoggy because of the way it is designed, it has a lot to do with the NT kernel. You can turn off the eye candy and go through the services and disable the ones you won't need (Know what a service is before you disable it!) the OS can be very responsive on lower end machines when the OS has gone through proper training and diet.
I really need a new signature.

One thing I must say is that there isn't exactly a wrong way to do things. The Windows NT kernel and the Linux kernel are just different. The way Windows does things tend to be quite different from what Unix-like stuff do things. In my personal opinion, both have things that they're good at and things that they're bad at. It's just that everyone's different.

Speaking of dieting your OS, do not try to remove features through outright removal instead of disabling them in Windows. Disabling services is usually pretty darned unnecessary when you think about it: services are only started where required, even if enabled. I wouldn't advise disabling services on normal computers, anyway. You never know what something relies on!

I can remember 7-year-old me uninstalling the display driver for a Windows 98 laptop's internal screen. Oops.

You actually did this?

That must have been quite a day.

There seems to be a lot of bad tech advice floating around the Internet, and some dangerous "joke" advice that might sound legitimate to some people.
Been that way for years, really.

Feels a bit crazy... you know, I could live without a flagship smartphone or one whole terabyte of solid-state storage, and I won't mind things a bit, seeing as the Lumia 525 and Seagate Laptop SSHD are perfectly good (and going back to a feature phone or a bog-standard HDD are just painful), but...

Sometimes I just want to have fast everything.
Sometimes I also want to have a phone that does everything.

Can't have it all, huh?

If we're talking technology wishlists, my top item is a new desktop. One that I can have built and with more than 4GB of RAM. :P

My one goal is to eventually have the cash for a flagship, especially subsidized. I want to be able to have a useless 2 year contract, to buy an 800 euro phone for 200. Ah who am I kidding, Z3 compact in 2015 would be fine at 300.

If I can finagle the debt people owe me I'd have a nice desktop right about now (the funk's so rubber!). Minimum $850 budget, and with compensation I'd likely have over $1K.

Instead I have a cheap Lenovo work of art in the realm of consumer electronics, an old back-when-Vista-was-the-latest-and-greatest desktop tower with (wow) 1GB of RAM and an Athlon X2 which pathetically outperforms this laptop, as does every oter processor in history made after 1999. And I get to use this toy with a flat-screen monitor 40 inches wide (I believe that yours says Etch-A-Sketch on the side!) while my screen collects dust. Our household sure has its priorities straight.
