This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.
See this GitHub page for a collection of sources about socialism, imperialism, and other relevant topics.
This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.
We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.
Rules:
- No bigotry, anti-communism, pro-imperialism or ultra-leftism (anti-AES)
- We support indigenous liberation as the primary contradiction in settler colonies like the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Israel
- If you post an archived link (excluding archive.org), include the URL of the original article as well
- Unless it's an obvious shitpost, include relevant sources
- For articles behind paywalls, try to include the text in the post
- Mark all posts containing NSFW images as NSFW (including things like Nazi imagery)

My old uni laptop was a Lenovo ThinkPad running a Windows/Linux dual boot. If i were to go to university again today i would probably go with a Lenovo again but ditch Windows altogether. You don't need Windows for university work, and especially if you are in a scientific field like i was everyone is using Linux anyway. Lenovo has pretty good price-performance ratio and generally does not force manufacturer specific software on you like many others do. I am not very familiar with the new models though, the last time i bought a laptop is over ten years ago. You would have to do some research and decide what criteria you are looking for and what your budget is.
How do I install Linux?
The same way you install any other OS. Find the version you want... Mint, Ubuntu, Debian, or whichever fits what you're looking for, download it and make a bootable disc or USB drive, boot your computer from the bootable media and follow the installation instructions.
What do you think is the best Linux OS?
For me? Whichever one is most beginner friendly. Because i'm a noob with Linux and don't really care enough to put in the time to learn it in depth, so I just want things to work out-of-the-box and have an easy GUI.
For you? Which one is "the best" for you depends on what you want to do with it and what your preferences are. Just do a quick online search and you will find plenty of opinions and recommendations.
Red Star OS
I feel like you missed 4 very specifc words here that go hand in hand with a linuxified thinkpad...
I may be too old to understand what you are referring to.
Say it with me!
I use arch btw
^(I'm not entirely sure this is what they meant)^
Ah. I see. No, i didn't use arch. I just googled what the most beginner friendly distro is and went with that.
this is exactly what I mean
