    Refurbished laptops and Making a Linux Box

    Hey everyone! So, I'm looking around for a cheap laptop I can grab and to whatever I want on. Currently, the plan is to dual boot lxle and windows 7, but we'll see whether I feel like I need windows at all. I'm trying to grab the best specs I can at around the $400 mark. I remember asking here a...

    Enhancing desktop; Visuals, tweaks and installed software.

    Personally, I would appreciate an environment that managed to look pretty. Keep in mind, however, that pretty doesn't mean simplified. I want full access and customizability obviously, but having a desktop enviroment that didn't look like it was from 25 years ago would be pretty nice...

    What Desktop Environment is going to be used on this?

    So, keep in mind that I don't know very much about how efficient we need OS's to be on mobile devices, but I've just installed LXLE on all of my computers. It seems extremely lightweight(my processor usage never goes above 20% on a very old laptop). It also looks quite nice. I was wondering if...

    Advice on making money

    Hey guys, I thought I would run this question by you. I'm in the US and I've been programming for about 5 years, though I've never really done a full project. I'm in college and I need to make money, and I'd like to be able to do it with programming. I looked into freelancing, but a lot of those...

    Coming to the community with need

    Hey everyone, I hate to come to you like this. My brother is going to college next year and I would like to help him as much as possible. He's really good at directing film, and he submitted a video for a scholarship. Unfortunately, to win, the process is that your video must get the most votes...

    Which distro to use? (Poll)

    Hey everyone! I'm very new to linux but I just started using a distro called crunchbang, it's a very efficient version of debian. Not sure if any of you have heard of it, but I was wondering how similar the Pyra OS will be to that? It uses an Openbox interface. It's also very customizable. If it...

    GamesCom, Shoulderbuttons and Heating

    For the record, I would much rather have only 1 shoulder button on each side if it meant that it functioned better or was longer lasting. I'd rather have a very physically robust system than one where keys fall out because we tried to cram in to much. Two sub-par performing shoulder buttons...

    Populated Mainboards

    Oh this is so cool, I'm really excited! I also hope that an aluminum case would be possible at some point. But, the main reason I was ok with aluminum on the pandora was because the internet wifi chip wasn't too great anyways. If we aluminum the Pyra, and the internal wifi chip is good this...

    Going off to University and seeking your advice :D

    Oh, yeah, I fixed that, sorry xD And yeah, that's true! I would definitely prefer living in the cheaper place, I think. However, if there isn't a decent intensive language course available nearby, it's would be for waste. Also I've heard that the cost of food in Berlin is pretty cheap, so...

    Going off to University and seeking your advice :D

    Sooo I've decided I'm going to try to do language courses for the first year and get as close to C2 certified as possible, and then the next 3 years I would spend studying physics. Taking an optional class of computer science instead of chemistry would be pretty awesome, I'll have to check which...

    Going off to University and seeking your advice :D

    I see, Jena sounds nice! I'll have to look more specifically into the cheapest university cities and see what I come up with. I found this website: http://www.wg-gesucht.de/ And it seems to have even rooms in Munich starting at 200 euros. Is it a ripoff or am I reading it incorrectly? Because...

    Going off to University and seeking your advice :D

    Ahh, cool, nice list! So would you guys also recommend I stay away from Munich for a bachelors degree? The thing that worries me about getting into the East is again whether or not they have good support for internationals. For example, I know that TU and LMU Munich offer "buddy programs" for...

    Going off to University and seeking your advice :D

    Hey everyone! I'm a graduating senior in the US, going off to college in the next month. Unfortunately, college is looking to cost be around 20k a year, which is just.... yikes. I'm planning on majoring in physics and going for a PhD, but I don't think I can handle that sort of debt. Here comes...

    Screw decisions for assembly

    I have no idea how this works but, in the pyra, could we possibly have the screw holes themselves be made of metal? Like, washers or something? So you couldn't easily just strip the holes, and you could just meld or glue or fix the washer/metal-hole into the plastic case?
