its not where they say it is

@Terry
Be careful with guides that might be out of date, or for a different distro. Also, why do you need to change swappiness? Or is this about something else now?

@alyx @alyx my machines been stuttering a lot lately also I can't do things like play vidya and watch podcasts without it crashing.

@Terry @alyx Have you tried low latency tuned kernels yet?

@white_male @Terry
Something tells me he's new to Linux. Last thing he needs is experimenting with unofficial kernels.

@alyx @Terry Low latency kernel mods are even in mainstream Ubuntu repos, can't get more user friendly kernel upgrade than with apt.

@white_male @Terry
A distro ships with a certain kernal by default for a reason. If the low latency kernel was the better choice even for beginners, it would have been installed by default, and we wouldn't have been having this conversation.

Also, fuck Ubuntu.

@alyx @Terry I had the butt hurt report card somewhere around here. You seem like you could use one. :D

@white_male @Terry
What's next, are you gonna recommend him use vim?

@white_male @Terry
Honestly I'm surprised you didn't tell him to install Arch or Gentoo.

@white_male @Terry
Let a fucking beginner learn how things work in his own pace. Don't push unnecessary bullshit on him. You'll just drive people away from Linux, you god damned idiot.

@alyx @Terry I've seen @Terry solving some other Linux issues he came up against already. Stop shitting your pants.

@white_male @Terry@bae.st @Terry@poa.st
His issue is not the fucking kernel everyone else on his distro uses. Stop being a moron. You don't need a low latency kernel unless you do audio processing stuff, and it doesn't sound like that's what he's looking for.

@alyx @Terry @Terry Low latency kernels are an improvement for desktops on old hardware. We'll see when he reports back, won't we?

@white_male @Terry@bae.st @Terry@poa.st
I have a 8 year old desktop that is doing just fine without a special kernel. I'd say that's old enough. HIS ISSUE IS NOT THE KERNEL.

@alyx @Terry @Terry Next i'll have him remove avahi services, just for kicks. :D

@white_male @Terry@bae.st @Terry@poa.st
You're despicable, and the reason Linux is incapable of becoming a Windows replacement.

@alyx @Terry @Terry I'm not, now i'm just pulling your leg to see how high up the ass you've got your head.

Can't comprehend, why is a safe one command kernel mod causing so much butt hurt with you?
