>>802302 (OP)

Don't need the distro. Would rather install straight-up debian

As for the laptop, I need a quad-core, so if I were looking for a new one, I might try one of the Thinkpads that can be corebooted, as you could add a quad core to those. Unless of course they make a laptop with one, then that would become an option.

You mean you have a GPU besides intel, Nvidia and AMD that doesn't require non-free firmware blobs that aren't a decade old ?

Install Gentoo.

>>802311

i7 =/= Quad core

Do you work for Purism?

>searx

I don't get this meme.

It's literally just a metasearch engine.

It just grabs shit from other engines.

Isn't that like using multiple botnets at once?

>>802311

Do not trust them they have scammed people by making them believe even before trying that they could remove the intel ME on recent hardware.

They even paid some baitclick article to say that RMS approved their project but what RMS really said is that he would approve the project if they could remove the ME which they didn't.

They are liars and profit on gullible people.

If their's no RYF certification there's nothing to buy.

Go see the Talos 2 if you want free hardware.

>>802313

I have searx.me as my primary browser on one computer and duckduckgo on the other. I tried to get used to using searx.me but for most purposes duckduckgo is better. Some things searx.me is better but 90% of searching I prefer DDG.

I agree about Privacy Badger. uBlock Origin is better.

and yeah PureBrowser... reminds me of Linux Mint's habit of renaming a whole bunch of different programs while barely changing them at all for the fuck of it. An annoying habit.

...and yes Gnome 3 sucks dick. Mate or... Cinnamon would be better.

>>802316

Nope .

>>802313

>nvidia

Their kepler line aren't a decade old yet. Even then it's enough to run most games.

>>802318

Yes but you add useless data to each botnet that it only thinks came from that searx instance in such a case.

>>802313

>You mean you have a GPU besides intel, Nvidia and AMD that doesn't require non-free firmware blobs that aren't a decade old ?

Yes according to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tz1ZAk02OVo

At about 1 minutes 30 seconds in they say it.

>>802318

>Isn't that like using multiple botnets at once?

You don't have any knowledge about network do you ?

When you make a request on google, google fingerprints your browser and IP flashed.

When you make a request on google trough searx, it's the searx server that gets fingerprinted and IP flashed not yours.

You basically proxy your requests.

These guys are basically trying to make computers that are finally uncucked even on the hardware level.

>>802325

>mint users

Ignoramus detected

So it's intel GPU based.

How that reverse engineering of the intel's firmware going on ?

Anyway still the same problem with blackbox hardware you can't trust it.

Also 6000$ dolarinos for a laptop I can get a completely free hardware for less than that:

If so they need to go to IBM.

Intel, AMD, ARM, Nvidia and others will never give away their code.

We have tried for years and years there's no advancement there's actually a loss of communication.

A funny thing tho is that Intel employee comes into the coreboot mailing list and ask how shits works.

You do know that you can make DDG request by going in the preferences and adding it to the searx results ?

You do know that there's multiple instances besides searx.me ?

You can run any games if your resolution is shit. Unless you specify what resolution you're talking about running games at, you're just memeing on us. Can it run most games at 4k? 2k? 1080p? Some shit-tier lower-resolution?

I don't think he's a bad guy be he's obviously had to much enthusiasm about removing the ME.

>>802346

When I search Talos 2 on DDG I get a lot of irrelevant results. Please provide me with a link and don't just tell me to search shit like most pricks usually do. I found some hard-drive but I don't think that's what you're talking about?

Preinstalled Linux is a joke. Every Linux user has their own favorite applications, configurations, and distros. Just sell it without any OS and let the user choose.

What do you think of Proton mail btw? I met up with a guy who is selling me weapons illegally and we're planning to carry out a terrorist attack n' shit, he gave me a USB thumbstick, and demanded I use protonmail to communicate with him so that's what we're using, and so far the gubbermint hasn't tried to stop us although he went quiet for some reason awhile ago maybe (((they))) nabbed him I don't know.

Oh and if you're wondering how I got into that situation to begin with it's because I just got over my fear of walking into a honeypot and decided if I was going to suicide at least I could do so in a cool way like by trying to overthrow the gubbermint. I knew it was in all likelihood a trap and he's a government agent but I didn't give a shit one day and went with it.

>tfw still a freeman probably thx to protonmail heh

This is the website. These desktop systems will be getting RYF certification soon.

Of course this doesn't solve anything for laptops, but it could for desktops, and it also gets us away from (((Intel)))

At this point x86 is pretty much useless if you want privacy and openness.

What needs to be developed is a new, open architecture which has provable technical advantages over x86, and a new non-Unix operating system developed with modern computing in mind. It’s 2017 and we’re still running a clone of a 40 year old OS on IBM PC compatibles, completely ignoring all advances in hardware and software that have taken place since the 80s. It’s a farce. Only Microsoft has the balls to take any risks; look at Singularity for instance.

My dream may soon become reality. We’re already seeing POWER9 and RISC-V making headway. Linux developers have hit a wall, and are forced to build their edifices upwards on loose foundations. When it topples, we may have to find another site.

>>802353

Not really because some people value their time and having all hardware supported by default is awesome while getting a computer and realizing some of your hardware will never work or only work very poorly sucks dick.

When computers come with linux preinstalled then linux development will be greater and more people will use linux.

>>802363

The way I feel about tech right now with absolutely everything being compromised and with my adversaries successfully shutting down a lot of my shit and blackmailing me I am pretty much ready to go Amish for a couple years. I don't know when I should resurface, maybe 2020, just going to live my life technology free for a couple years because I can't deal with all the pozz concerning our hardware, browsers, operating systems, batteries, and everything else. When do you reckon the tech nightmare will finally end?

>>802363

>clone of a 40 year old OS

Your mom is a clone of a 40 year old OS

>>802369

When the (((people))) who backdoor it are destroyed. So until never.

>>802369

I guess the only way outside of going amish might be to go full stallman.

https://stallman.org/stallman-computing.html

>>802372

Or we move to a non-backdoored system.

See the previously mentioned TALOS II, as well as the Libreboot and Coreboot projects

>>802373

You can't go full stallman and own a phone yet. The closest you can get is a samsung galaxy 2 but even that has the bootloader locked down.

>>802375

See above. We already have laptops/desktops fitting such a description. Low power devices and very high power x86 devices for such don't exist. If you go non x86 you can get high power i.e talos. But no low power devices of such a nature exist.

>That Don't Suck Dick

>pureos

Ahahahah stahp

Pure OS is just Ubuntu Gnome reskin, what so special about it? Even Google botnet OS is more interesting because it is based off Gentoo and is specifically tailored for machines it is shipped with.

>yo guys we installed GPG Gui and Tox Super privacy enhanced software please buy our computers we couldn't even write proper bios for

>Duck Duck Go search engine, EFF Privacy Badger, and HTTPS: Everywhere bundled into our official web browser, PureBrowser.

Oh wow, botnet placebo, questionable placebo, dumb normie placebo, all these addons leak more information about you to third-party adversaries than vanilla Internet Explorer.

>PureOS is entirely free/libre software

Cool, they know how to compile a kernel without proprietary modules

>Education

Passable

>Games

Shit performance and response time without kernel preemption, do they ship one too?

>Graphics

circles.xcf

>Internet

Oh my, what OS has no internet support in 2017 besides Temple OS

>Science

Sadly, but most science tools are written for proprietary OSes

>Sound

Real-time kernel?

>Video

Fine, it has ffmpeg preinstalled so neckbeards can cut kpop webms

>PureOS features the latest and greatest technologies.

Does it have Virtual Reality support? What about smart assistants?

>It includes GNOME 3 and the next-generation Wayland display protocol, out of the box

Bwahahah, does that mean it doesn't even support such basic features like gamma adjustment and color temperature? It's 2017, everyone, no one wants to go blind at age of 30 in the age of technology.

>benefit from enhanced security through isolation between graphical software applications

First you tell us about free open source software and then, you present sandboxing feature that is primarily used for suppressing proprietary botnet garbage from phoning home and getting root privileges? Nice, might as well start using bloated Qubes placebo at this point.

Aside all memeing, they need to ship good hardware, not chinese ODM macbook air clones and make a quad-core model.

>>802381

Ok Jew, we did this shit in the other thread.

>stahp \n Pure OS is just Ubuntu Gnome reskin. Even Google botnet OS is more interesting.

Pure OS is based on Debian, not Ubuntu. It doesn't matter how (((Interesting))) you think Jewgle's OS is. A botnet is a botnet.

>Placebos

I'll maybe give you Duckduckgo, but the EFF is legit, and the thing about information leaks is a blatant jewish lie. If it was shit like Ghostery, then yeah you'd have a point, but since they didn't, you don't.

>kernel without proprietary modules

Good.

>The five next greentexts

I think those are to sell the normies on this thing. Also, for graphics, GIMP, Krita, Darktable, etc seem pretty solid.

>Real time kernel?

What?

>Video

I think it will also probably come with a GUI video editor as well.

>Smart assistants

"Yes goyim! Enjoy your cortana and OK google that are totally not logging everything you say, even when not activated"

>Gamma adjustment, color temperature

Not sure on the gamma, but I read that they either have included or are going to include color temperature options directly into GNOME 3.

>sandboxing

I think the idea is that if there's a vulnerability in one program, it makes it harder for it to get to other shit.

I agree on the quad-core model. Also, everything is chinese these days.

>>802391

In X11 every piece of software runs the same IO through the xserver so it's trivial to keylog other programs including DEs and stuff. There's also the problem of like screen locking because that has to tie into other stuff underneath the xserver to be meaningful.

Basically X11 is a clusterfuck and should never be used by anyone anywhere for any reason ever. That's why wayland however shitty is still better.

>>802392

Ah thanks for the explanation. I assume this was referring to the sandboxing section.

Wayland sounds pretty interesting. And with the main distros like Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, etc actually planning on fully supporting it in GNOME i may at some point start using it. Maybe with sway. Currently on bspwm.

>>802397

XWayland is basically running a mini-xserver per process so you can still have it sandboxed while using X11 software.

>>802399

Very nice. I heard about this feature. It's gonna be pretty much necessary to have backwards-compatibility with X11 if stuff like Ubuntu, Fedora, and Debian are going to make it the default.

Ignoring the preinstalled Linux part, I like these:

>Real time kernel?

>What?

Music recording requires real-time kernel, fast-paced reaction-based games like Quake too.

And it's not like all assistants are datamining botnet. Why won't they develop local-running one with all their money? Technology supporting that exists already.
