Its getting harder to beat a laptop with a desktop PC for the main desktop unless you do highend rendering or gaming (desktops have more cores still) laptops are still at around 4 cores probably for heat\/efficiency reasons. its been said that anything over 1ghz by deffinition is a super computer, you are going to need around 2-4 cores and 3ghz to get the full desired experiance. Almost everyone thesedays carry around a supercomputer in their pockets so finding a good laptop should be easy.<\/p>\r\n<p>The feel of classic gnome for linux its very polished and professional. there are a few modern options available. you&#8217;ll want either Plasma , Mate or Gnome3 with classic fallback mode.<\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bootlin.com\/blog\/mali-opengl-support-on-allwinner-platforms-with-mainline-linux\/\">https:\/\/bootlin.com\/blog\/mali-opengl-support-on-allwinner-platforms-with-mainline-linux\/<\/a><\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/elinux.org\/A10_tablets\">https:\/\/elinux.org\/A10_tablets<\/a><\/p>\r\n<p>Ok now that you have all that you&#8217;ll need some other usefull programs.<\/p>\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<h3>Usefull Applications<\/h3>\r\n<p><blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"hRPF2eHSwN\"><a href=\"https:\/\/netpipe.ca\/?p=1798\">stash of program source code.<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;stash of program source code.&#8221; &#8212; Netpipe\" src=\"https:\/\/netpipe.ca\/?p=1798&#038;embed=true#?secret=evBMentyGD#?secret=hRPF2eHSwN\" data-secret=\"hRPF2eHSwN\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>xchat &#8211; for contacting other nerds &#8212; find me as Tecan on efnet or freenode if you have questions or just want to say hi<\/li>\r\n<li>autokey &#8211; for making life easier<\/li>\r\n<li>thunderbird &#8211; firefox<\/li>\r\n<li>liferea &#8211; reading rss news<\/li>\r\n<li>filezilla or gftp(had some issues getting gftp ftps to work)<\/li>\r\n<li>exaile for music &#8211; be sure to turn the plugins off that connect to the internet like covers and lyrics wiki etc&#8230;<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>firefox &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/netpipe.ca\/?page_id=274\">check here for the plugins you&#8217;ll wan<\/a><\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/tecan\/Giffer\">https:\/\/github.com\/netpipe\/Giffer<\/a> &lt;&lt; animated wallpaper weather manager for the gnome desktop.<\/p>\r\n<p>Compiz works well but sometimes it uses more resources than youd like. this python script has no overhead and is easily modifiable.\u00a0 Seeing gravity in the code gave me a few ideas for a new ui system that clears itself as if the windows were shrinking and falling or just shrinking and expanding on mouse over.
