snake_case for filenames.
camelCase for variable names.

Gentoo, if you're brave enough :P
After that, Arch.
If both of those are too much, then Debian.

@le717 nice lol. I mean, I wouldn't have an issue if people would just secure their devices... This also falls on the developers that hard code passwords and send everything in plaintext. People think we live in a world of rainbows and butterflies :/

Holy god yes! Wish more people saw it for the atrocity it is...

Finally... I've found friends on here :D
*sheds a small tear of joy*

I wonder why hackers don't write in this language. No one could understand what their code did XD

Yeah, my buddies were saying to try i3, probably gonna use that. Also, the Arch wiki is amazing!

I know, it's just my first time doing it specifically for my personal computer. I'm not super worried, I've have to do most of the install steps before (mount drives, set up network stuff, etc.)

@cbsa Holy S**t man, that was poetic.

@Grumpy to start, user experience and user interface are not the same. Those are not interchangeable terms.

Secondly, if you want to make a system that users want to use, you have to make it fast enough for them to want it. User interface should be implemented after you have a base system. That's why it's called an interface, it's a way for users to talk to the system in a way that both parties understand.

If we lived in a world full of people with your thoughts on this matter, we wouldn't patch bugs, we wouldn't look for optimizations to the problems. If people thought like that, we'd all just say "f*** it, I don't care if the users can't use it because it runs too slow. At least it looks pretty."

I agree UI is important, but you don't start with it. You put it on top of a product. That way it can be replaced with a better one if users don't like it. All the while, you don't need to change the underlying system if it's already optimized.

I'm done with this post. Have a nice day.

@Grumpy I don't deny that their UI helped them sell their OS, I actually stated that in my comment. I was simply stating that the way they marketed made a major difference in their sales. Also, linux is free, so there was no need to market it, all that went to it did so because they saw its potential.

I will admit, I shouldn't have said performance is the only thing that matters, it's really dependant on what the purpose of your program is. But I won't yield on the fact that it's the most important thing. You should implement performance first and then UI should be added on top of the already performant system. Also, it's not a 0.1%cpu difference. It's more like a 10-15% difference.

And I am educated on UI's importance. I've taken multiple UI classes in Uni.

@drRoss what are you talking about? That's exactly what it means. If my OS runs more performantly than yours then it follows that my program would run more performantly than on your poorly optimized OS. That's such a basic concept, how is it not clear to you?

Microsoft and Apple got to where they are by cutting the throats of all the companies below them and using shady business tactics. Even if that weren't true (which it is) it's also partially because normal users car more about a pretty ui than actual functionality and performance. If you consider yourself a programmer then you should care about the ui being a little weaker. As a programmer you could only care about funtionality an performance. If you really cared about the programs you write and the customers you sell them to, you'd use the better operating system so that you can make a higher quality product. Them being big companies has nothing to do with their products, it has to do with the way they market them. Have you seen windows 10? It's an atrocity!

@legobrainiac it makes my brain hurt a little everytime I read one of those comments lol.

You might want to get off that bus...

If you have an SSH server set up, SSH into it with the gui flag set and run the browser on that server.

I'm in, message me the IP

Just downloaded and tested. Very nice work!

definitely use vim

gvim + plugins = basically an IDE
