>linux

not a meme if you bought it pre ~2020 with a specific use for it
>old thinkpad
not a meme if you have a use for it. if it was crazy cheap its not a meme because its a cheap laptop

>>106982530

Refurbished computers are a scam.

It all stem down to the EU coercing its companies to do random crap for "muh ecology" sake.
One such thing is to reduce your e-waste.

Companies replace their computers pools every 3~6 years, or so. They have to, of course, because your average office computer become a stuttering mess after the 3 years mark.
And it was obviously considered terrible from an ecoterrorist perspective. Because a decade back, those computer were simply sent to the trash.
So some smartass came up with a clever idea : send the computers away to some specialized enterprise to be refurbished and resold. That way, you're no longer throwing away e-waste. The retard buying the refurbished computer is. Blame shifted.

Obviously, that scam requires dumb fucks to actually buy the resulting shitputer.
The dumb fuck in question is you.

>>106982634
>Refurbished computers
no one else mentioned these, we either mentioned old thinkpads or thinkpads in general
you say in your post >a decade back. what happened before that decade? what do you think old means? anyway if you manage to get a working thinkpad or other such laptop from pre 2018 for under 30-50 dollars then its not a meme. if you buy a thinkpad from last year for 2600 dollars then you fell for the meme, is that clear enough?

>Arch
I was a loonix user before even I came to /g/ but /g/ name me fall for the arch meme and I wasted so much of my precious time and energy to install the most optimum setup, rice the most optional desktop, etc... until I gave up all and now comfily use Mint out of box.
>ThinkPad
This I definitely fell because of /g/, I got an old Thinkpad T480 for $250.

i think i can confidently say none. its blatantly obvious less than 5% of the people here know shit about anything. less than half the posts are even made by whites

Just kidding, I like that I fell for those "memes" except the custom mechanical keyboard thing, I lost interest, and I'm happy with a wooting or a nuphy. But sometimes I want an Ngreedia card, because of AI and then I remember that Ngreedia is still dogshit on Loonix...

I fell for split keyboards AND colemak. I now use a ducky QWERTY keyboard again.

you can just use gnome to get almost as quick context switches without the hassle of ricing your ugly ass useless config

Fell for CachyOS (I still like it)

At this point I should just use Cachy but I fucking hate the logo so I'm staying in Arch

1. some retarded IEMs I won't name - turns out they sound like shit

mechanical keyboard, desktop headphone amp stack, Linux on an ancient business laptop (Fujitsu t1010) as a hobby,

someone convinced me to buy an AMD FX8350 when they were new in 2012. it was so utterly shit that I RMA'd it and went back to my overclocked core2duo from 2007 and ran it for several more years. I think that's the one time I really fell for a meme

Feels good.

I'm thinking of getting a mechanical keyboard. what am I in for?

>>106991009
The keypresses feel slightly different and the sound is different. Switching to a mech keyboard is no big deal at all, I don't know why people make it out to be one.
If you are autistic (like me) go for a split ergo, that's actually a big difference (for better or worse).

The meme of being luddite-minded and antagonistic to modern tech while being heavily invested and specialized in it.

I used to have these thoughts. Then I'd try it and realize that I'm perfectly happy with my vim/emacs/linux. After 3 or 4 times of that I finally realized that the grass is NOT greener on the other side, haven't touched windows or normgroid GUIware in year, except when I had a job.

deserved

headphones and paraphernalia but honestly it was bred by head-fi beforehand too
mechanical keyboards, the keystrokes are so long it was worse than membrane imo, on scissor switch now. i remember the g thread which linked the mx blue pink compact that I bought but died on me now
ucontrollers, they just sit now, I did an ir volume control project once though but it was shit and I replaced it with a legit amp. I don't really have a use for them now especially since my 3d printer has a skr mini now

>on Linoox you just assemble a jbod and can throw anything anywhere without carefully policing where each folder goes
Can someone explain a bit more. Just fell for the loonix meme, but I have to mount my second internal drive. And because I used it on winblows I can't make any timeshift saves to that. I don't want to format the internal disk as I have movies on it that I can still watch anyway. Can I make Timeshift save the system restore on the second drive without formatting?
