Walk into class with my t420 that i got for 50 dollars on ebay

cccp/linux being a communist software was never intended to do productive work with.

>Good luck writing formulas on a keyboard vs paper.
What is LaTeX?

pen and paper is still faster

I feel like there is a boomer meme somewhere in here

Also I just use mechanical pencil and paper for notes. My profs have all of their presentations online if i need them for reference later. Writing things down just helps me to remember them in a way that typing doesn't. The paper notes are of only marginal value as a reference, but that's not the main purpose.

why are people still trying to use this meme of an OS ?

user, you do realize that when you make a mistake you cant remove it, right?

transcribing =/= taking notes, retard. just write the important stuff in shorthand. You will understand the lecture better and be able to review faster allowing multiple reviews. Repetition and simplicity are king.

That just wastes so much space though, itll especially fuck you over if youre low on pages or writing an essay

Never try using Linux on a desktop anymore. Thank you.

>writing an essay by hand
literally no institution in the first world accepts this in current year
Your notes should be shorthand and can all be easily transferred elsewhere

Enjoy your subpar noggin, faggot.

I heard this meme a lot but after switching from pencil and notebooks to a laptop it's no different. In fact, I got a better GPA the semester I switched than the semester before, with more units, and far more difficult classes.

Did they account for the fact that reviewing coursework and making cheat sheets is a thousand times easier, since you can fix/edit past notes, everything is clear, and you can search?

I always use vim anyways so i dont see a problem. Who uses a custom xorg.conf anyways??

Shitty professors won't. There is quite literally no reason to not accept a hand-written essay.

>he doesn't just transcribe the slides
I'm sorry you're a typelet, user

All of my hand-ins are digital. It's about being green friend.

>There is quite literally no reason to not accept a hand-written essay.
yeah, i suppose professors have a lot of time to be reading every single student's shitty handwriting and inputting it into their computer to check for plagiarism

Nothing more green than refusing to waste energy by using computers and the Internet, friendo.

Better to have $22 than $20

>plagiarism on a hand-written essay
What did he mean by this?

>it can't be plagiarism if it's handwritten
???

I unironically use a T430 with Arch and it has been the most reliable computer I have ever used. Better yet, I actually was in a situation where I wanted to take notes on it, and I had the original Windows 7 installed, and for whatever reason the PC took 25 minutes to login, and I think it was some video driver issue. This was in 2012 and my memory is a bit fuzzy.

You can plagiarize on a handwritten essay smart one, it just isn't quite as easy as ctrl-c ctrl-v.

Alright Mr Kacynski, sit the fuck back down.

If you're already going through the extra work of writing it by hand, there is no way in hell that you're gonna write another thing ad verbatim.

Did you really need a tutor

Nah, but feels good not being poor and saving time.

>implying teachers are anything more than useless bureacrats

I'm sure you've learned everything in life on your own.

>never listen to recording
>fail class
>be neet for the rest of your life and never leave the basement

you have to,on the streets

You don't seem to get what plagiarism is, it's not the verbatim copy of some text, although that would be, it's the usage of ideas or information and not crediting the original author/creator, there by implying you were the creator of that idea or obtained the information yourself. Paraphrasing ideas from another source without citation is plagiarism (even if it's handwritten).

sorry to hear that user, majority of people in first world grow up with families and figures who help them develop skills efficiently

if i could do one thing different while studying its getting a tablet right away and just take notes in the pdfs

have once seen a person unironically do this, probably a great way to learn

I plan to do that this year. It is the master way.

>he didn't even double major in mathematics.

I seriously hope you didn't major in a subject user. Unless you want to be a professor or get abused as an underpaid researcher, it's not a good idea to get a subject degree because boomer HRs don't understand their value and instead look for buzzwords like "engineer" and "electricity" or "computers".

nigger

I like the textbook just to have a physical reference later. Plus it gives that "intellectual" aesthetic to an office if you have some dank looking textbooks.

as opposed to not majoring in a subject?

As opposed in majoring to something that's somewhat niche and yet in high enough demand to actually guarantee a position like CybSec.
No, no, I still go out and buy the textbooks, especially some of the more interesting ones but thanks to getting a tutor I can opt not to get the useless ones that I know are just 5 pages of information spread out over 500 pages.

Cyber security is a subject.

dont you also remember better if you write it down with pen and paper than typing not sure though.

idiot you cant have ubuntu/any linux distro first installed and then decide to dual boot windows cause that will fuck your install.

You first have to install windows then ubuntu. cause windows is very aggresive with installing.

>why are people still trying to use this meme of an OS ?
its not the OS that is wrong its your own incompetence.

Yeah forreal. He doesn't use latex for notes. What a retard.

Do I get an x230

Are you fucking serious?

It's called PARENTS you fucking Zoomer. I know you weren't raised by yours, but some of us were.

You do know plagiarism existed before computers?
