@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 ?
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
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
can't like disk drives quarantine the damaged sectors and still be usable except for the damaged part ? why do they have to fuck up all at once ?
