So I just logged back into devRant tonight after a long hiatus and I just have to ask...
What the fingerbanging fuck has happened here??? It's like walking through a nuclear wasteland, with some of the most prolific members of our community gone.17 -
Somebody should make a website listing all services (or at least the most popular ones) which keep their users' passwords in plaintext.3

TIFU by accidentaly FORMATING MY ENTIRE DISK during a Windows onstallation.
To my credit, Windows disk partitioning is horrible, since the monkeys over at Microsoft thouht it was a good idea to MAKE THE CHANGES TO THE DISK IN REAL TIME. -
devRant feature idea: Text formatting in Markdown. This is a community for developers, after all.14

So, since I messed with Elementary OS so much that it yearns for the sweet release of death and Windows 10 stopped connecting to the Internet, I now want to format them both and install Arch and Windows 8.1, respectively.
However, if my Arch installation fails (again), what distro should I install?
I am leaning towards Arch-based (I ADORE the AUR) and Debian-based distros, and have used, in this order: Linux MInt, Debian with Gnome 3 (I despise this DE), Antergos(can't get Manjaro to boot off of a USB drive) and Elementary OS (which was a thorough disappointment).19 -

Fuck. Windows. 10.
So, a few weeks ago, my Windows 10, which I need for gaming and school, just stopped working (an issue with the hard drive), and I finally got around to reinstalling it this weekend.
Everything went well, I even installed the drivers and all, until I attempted to update it to the latest version, since I installed the 1.0 version.
After a couple of hours, it finally updated. There was one LIIIIITLE problem though:
I COULDN'T CONNNECT IT TO THE INTERNET.
I then figured out that the connection on my laptop (and only my laptop) had to default gateway. I tried using ipconfig /renew, but it just timed me out.
After fucking around with a bunch of solutions i looked up on my phone (none of which worked), I decided to just reset it and pray that it works.
My first attempt at resetting went a little bit like this:
-It would go to he bootloader and display the message "resetting this PC", with the percentage next to it.
-After it reached 100%, Windows would just load indefinetly. I decided to let it load while i slept, and, the next morning, after 8 HOURS, it was still "loading". At that point, I just shut it down.
-When i booted it he 2nd time, it would just display "preparing", and then a black screen, after which i would shut it down again.
-The third time it infuriatingly displayed "Reverting changes", after which it would plop me back right into my isolated desktop.
Today, i decided to just try again, whih brings us here.1 -
Here's a fun game:
Describe an OS in four words!
Here, I'll start:
Linux Mint- Not Windows, at least.33 -
Alright, somebody enlighten me:
What do MacBooks have that other laptops don't (other than the touchpad and the OS)?39 -
So i just wanted to plug in a USB stick and, in order to insert it, i fucking opened the DVD drive.
I need more sleep.5
