which isnt my main comp

@uberrice I'd just like to interject for moment. What you're refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!

pentesting laptop is my side bitch

just bought this SSD : http://www.ebay.com/itm/301933086855

64 gb

what is gnu xD

main os is whatever os is installed on the hard drive/ssd and boots when you just turn on the computer without touching anything else

>64gb

literal waste of money

I'll be using it on an auxiliarry shit laptop, it will be my game/media server

64gb is a lot tbh

once you install that OS you'll only have like 20-30 left

>he buys the chinkshit ssd that's slow as fuck and is going to fail in a year instead of a name brand ssd that only costs 6 bucks more

lubuntu ? I don't think so

lubuntu 👌

first distro I ever used

SSDs do not fail

they do

chinkshit ones do.

We haven't had reports of failing Chink SSD, though

well, less likely than HDD, amiright ?

thank you Aerione

they fail over long periods of time

not really, unless you use your laptop as a hockey puck when it's running

after continous use

Well, SSDs don't have moving parts

So they cannot get wrecked by physical shaking

@Aerione knows his shit.

HDDs will, however

Still

please SSDs can fail but the warning signs are so obvious

Going by the TLC/MLC standards set by the manufacturers

that in a few decades or so

"so obvious"

The cells should last double the duration of an HDD, at worst?

you'll have it not work anymore and move your data out

"OH OOPS YOUR FILE IS CORRUPT : ^)"

if you see a help ! my ssd is broken thread on /g then it's me..

"OH WHAT IS THAT? OH MY FILE SYSTEM JUST GOT CORRUPTED"

Windows 8 and up warn you when you SSD starts to fail

And that's roughly 2 thousand or so cycles before it does
