Decided I want to learn programming after reading too much Cyberpunk so I bought a T430 Thinkpad with Linux installed...

Then leave faggot

Do Remove the whitelist and install the **20 series keyboard

>t430
lul you already fucked up kid

>wants to learn how to program
>buys another computer
Something tells me that if you where around a different group of people you would have ended up with a macbook

Why would you wanna use ubuntu for anything?

Is that a new thinkpad or second hand? What model is that?

You don't delap the heatsink lol, you lap it.

It was enough for Terry

Buying a thinkpad was your first mistake. Listening to anything the 12yo,s preach on here was the final one. If you want to learn anything, you don’t do it here.

>Ubuntu
oooookay

Ubuntu works
Does it really need to do anything else?

remember a good portion of this board is genuinely autistic

>filtered
nice.

>I bought a T430 Thinkpad
>What model is that?

t. brainlet

What do you think you're going to do on your distro of choice that you can't do in Ubuntu?

Do some python, then some C.

good. get out. scram you piece of shit!

autism

>Whats a brainlet like me in for?
Self loathing and insecurity

Which cyberpunk?

Wanna be classy as fuck and never regret that you have entered this rabbit hole?

Here you go:

usi-pl.github.io/lc/sp-2015/doc/Bird_Wadler. Introduction to Functional Programming.1ed.pdf

literally a brainlet

do some C then C++

This guy is wrong. Python is better for learning basics.

Scheme is better for learning basics or Standard ML or even Haskell

The t430 is fine , these faggots just hate the keyboard, I also have Ubuntu , but it's the MATE version and I changed it a little.Learn PYTHON, then decide what direction you're going to take , and choose the programming languace accordingly

The patrician's choice is to do some Scheme, then C, then Python

>sell that PoS
>invest the money in a desktop because ergonomics (if you already have a laptop then just buy a screen, keyboard, etc)
>install linux in a vm or dualboot
>learn some shit like C or python or whatever

Wow you’re so cool

install xubuntu

Step 1: Start participating in competitions a la Hackerrank and Leetcode.
Step 2: Start lurking Step 3: Give up and try drawing instead

Try to lookup university lecture notes Intro to C and/or Java, for a version of the class as it was taught in the 1990's. Do that more than once using different lecture notes and assignments. Don't read anything from the past decade at first.

Hey! That's what I did the past year!

listen to this guy

C++ is just as easy to learn as Python. Change my mind.
>t. high iq programmer that started with Matlab.

Ruby if you want to build stuff, C# if you want to learn programming.

install gentoo

Put a classic thinkpad keyboard to achieve max code quality and minimal rotational algorithm velocidensity

Then learn lisp while your mind isn't contaminated with shit like JS

garbage collection
pointers
like what are you talking about?????

A blue collar job, which is what programming will become in the west in 2-3 year's time. Already happened in Asia

This is why you should go for engineering.

learn java

install hurd

some RBG spikes helps with the cyberpunk images

>with Linux installed.
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux,
is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux.
Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component
of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell
utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day,
without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU
which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are
not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a
part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system
that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run.
The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself;
it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is
normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system
is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux"
distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

all cheap thinkpads (x220, x230, t420, t430, etc) are secondhand
lenovo doesn't produce them anymore

not being owned by amazon and canonical
not being debian clone

not having to waste time uninstalling all the preinstalled trash just so i can customize my system to my liking

You're entering a world of pain

It's great for noobs. He'll come around, let him be for now.

>Whats a brainlet like me in for?
Learning. Potentially a lot. Programming is a great many things so your question should first be what your interests are. Security? Networking? Operating systems? Applications? Databases?

Start picking one.

>he fell for the Jow Forums meme
you poor soul

>Decided I want to learn programming after reading too much Cyberpunk so I bought a T430 Thinkpad with Linux installed. Whats a brainlet like me in for?

Hmm not a great entry into programming. I tend to recommending programming rather than spending money on useless stuff

just do Harvard's CS50 on edx
