Why people shouldn't run Ubantu

I've been on Ubantu for three years and this linux geek tells me, ```Hey, that kid doesn't know how to configure, make, make install, go teach him some basics, I ain't got no time''' and I'm like WHAT DO YOU MEAN I USE APT-GET and then I lost all respect and the kid installed openSUSE in the end.

ck, go find another OS and be happy with it. I'm happy with Ubantu. se it's based on DebianWell, I don't give a flying Philadelphia fuck,

You have to complete the template. Perhaps I should write it as:

template <string T>
string lickingMeme()
{
   return ("MY " + T + " DONT NEED LICKING";
}

You have to complete the function. Perhaps you should write it as:

template <std::string T>
std::string lickingMeme() {
    return ("MY " + T + " DONT NEED LICKING");
}

I have a Nokia N810. I have so much fun hacking the Maemo OS on this device. It's seriously a great portable computer for the hackers among us.

What is the keyboard for it like? I'm too lazy to search the web for weird spoilers of its hardware or user interface. Can you comfortably type C code on it, or should I switch to another language like Ada or Pascal that favors keywords over punctuation?

Well, this shows how far /prog/ has fallen

tweet@46 Im gonna help u fix it

The keyboard fine for extended (>1 hour) Internet usage like the web, e-mail, IRC and Jabber. It's also fine to write notes that are a couple of paragraphs long. There is no way I would write anything longer than a trivial one liner using the N810's keyboard. I write code and build binaries using a desktop PC.

Some annoyances with the keyboard are:
The top row of keys are too close to screen edge making things clumsy to target them.
It's clumsy to hit the correct key because there isn't any gap between each key.
I think there isn't enough tactile feedback when depressing the keys making the typing experience less satisfying than its potential.

Despite these failings, the keyboard is far superior to touch screens with tactile feedback.

Are there other devices you know of with better keyboards that are still no bigger than a DVD case (if that)? I'd like to be able to do programming on the road, but I don't want to carry a full sized laptop or even a netbook.

after four years of gentoo, and a few of slack before that I'm on ubantu.  got tired of gentoo's festering release issues.  I don't really think it's any easier than gentoo, but then I'm a tiling wm fag, so all the gnome goodies are just bloat

ssh-keygen

Gentoo is for true men, so you are not a true man.

EXPERT GENTOO COMPILER

Also, posting from Lynx for the lulz.

You could try a tablet PC. They tend to be Windows systems though and therefore, hard to hack.

If you think the N810's CPU speed, primary storage space and secondary storage space are adequate for your programming needs, you could get a bluetooth keyboard for the N810. I have no experience using bluetooth keyboards so I can't comment on them.

The N810's hardware is inadequate for my hacking requirements. If I wanted mobile hacking, I'd bring my Lenovo S10. The N810 is a very portable and easily hackable machine, but I treat it like a limited resource computing system and leverage the power of more capable (though less portable) machines.

I use NixOS, a distro that's managed by Nix. IMO, the Nix system is far superior to Portage.

tweet@53 you can hack anywhere. size doesnt matter, you can buy external keybord

I run a site with over a million hits a day on ubuntu.
Sure as fuck wouldn't ruin, I mean run it on Windows.
Shit just works and works well.

tweet@56 cool. what site name?

>>57

Well, simple solution.  Go to the UBINTOO package manager and install pygame.  Check it off.  Apply.  Wait 5 minutes for the download, configure, what ev.  Run the program and:

This isn't a good idea. Distro repos usually have laughably outdated libs for Python/Ruby/Haskell/etc. You need to use their own ``package managers'' (although Python's is a fucking trainwreck; I am impressed that they managed to make something that sucks more than Ruby gems).

>>58
Back to /g/, please.

tweet@58 site has virus. dont click

>>60
Study the context dude. Next time, use the force.

>>59
Context please. Formal learning materials move slower than distro repos.

>>59

Why on earth would you want to program in those academic functional languages?

What a great blatant trolling attempt.
