>>58859536
Simple (in the sense of few moving parts)
Stable (in the sense that it doesn't crash and in the sense that it doesn't change the way it does things for the hell of it, for instance the installer has been largely unchanged since it was first introduced about 20 years ago - the only real change was the addition of an http/ftp option for source media and replacing the "create boot floppy" option with "create boot usb")
Very comfy package manager and build manager
Official distro provides binary packages for a LOT of useful software, community maintains build scripts and binary packages for most other useful software
Sane package structure (no "meta-packages", no dependency hell, packages generally don't get needlessly split up)
No systemd
No GNOME (one of the devs provides his own MATE builds if you really want them)
Really doesn't get in your way at all. If you just want an extremely basic setup with a single root partition and a swap partition, you can just hit enter through the whole installation process and have a fully working system in 30-60 minutes. If you want to set up your own complex partition structure, you can do that and it won't complain or argue. If you want to install directly from the -current tree in the official repos, you can do that. If you want to install using a 35MB USB image instead of downloading the DVD ISO, you can do that. If you want to use GRUB instead of LILO (the default), you can set that up yourself. The whole design philosophy is do as little as necessary to set up a working system and provide simple tools for the user to do the rest if they want to.

You can also try Salix (Slackware with a graphical package manager) or Zenwalk (Slackware stripped down to one program per task with a pre-riced Xfce and a graphical package manager).

You /fglt/s like to say cringy stuff.

From this day forward, Android should be referred to as -GNU/Linux or as I've taken to calling it 'Minus GNU Plus Linux'.
While Android does not have most/any GNU tools installed by default, the Linux Kernel requires GCC to to build and as such GNU deserves the acknowledgment of its vital role in making Android functional.

Hey /fglt/

What's your opinion on AppImages? Do you prefer Snaps or FlatPacks?

>>58860488
I prefer packaged programs.

What are some good Linux browsers? I need cross platform compatibility....I don't trust Chrome because jewgle and Firefox because firefox on windows is a stuttering bloated buggy peace of shit.

What can I do with an old laptop? It has a built-in modem.

>>58860488
Maybe snaps? I don't know, but better to have a chrooted environment separate for those because they resemble windows apps.

Anyway, I'll be happy not having any, but they are probably good for noobs and for quick test of new software.

>>58860509
Definitely look for IceCat. You can have all the firefox addons, plus is secure by default.

>>58860555
Their best true advantage is dependency management. Dependency management can become tough when different packages require different variants of the same utility, of which the past and present version are not "backwards compatible". With things like AppImage, its easy. Something that needs, say, python 2.7 can keep that to itself, and something that needs Python 3.5 can keep that to itself without fucking with app 1's config.

>>58860599
But I am not sure how secure that is. I don't blame the guys who mistrust their use.

>>58860624
Here is an article about snappy https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2016/06/goodbye-apt-and-yum-ubuntus-snap-apps-are-coming-to-distros-everywhere/

I prefer Bedrock's way to handle dependencies, but until then this seems like a good idea for the users coming from windows.

On Manjaro KDE, why can't I get rid of screen tearing? I've tried using all of the choices in the Compositer system settings, but it keeps giving me the same screen tearing effect. I've googled it and ran into solutions that involve Nvidia cards, but I have a very old laptop that doesn't have anything Nvidia and I don't want to apply the fixes in fear of messing up the entire system. Not sure what fix I should look into in general. It's rather annoying.

>>58863186
Firstly, Aliases aren't expanded inside scripts.
If you want them to be you need

 shopt -s expand_aliases 

in your script.

Secondly, your code is all fucked up, you append an if to your bashrc to check for an alias file which is fine but then you never actually create that file, the if check for .alias but you create a file called aliasfile and then you echo (and therefore create) an .aliasfile.

Also this

echo bin
> aliasfile

doesn't work, what are you trying to do here?

Basically, here is what I think you're trying to accomplish:

#!/bin/bash

# puts the if in your bashrc
echo 'if [ -f ~/bin/.aliases ]; then . ~/bin/.aliases; fi' >> ~/.bashrc

# creates the bin dir
mkdir bin

# creates and puts the alias inside the .aliases file
echo "alias thing='ls -d */'" >> ~/bin/.aliases

# now if you want to declare the alias inside this script like so
alias thing='ls -d */'
# you will need this
shopt -s expand_aliases
# and then you can run
thing

>>58863316
This throws

nstall2test.sh: line 6: `   then echo 'if [ -f ~/bin/.alias ]; then . ~/bin/.alias; fi' >> ~/.bashrc'

./install2test.sh: line 18: `   then echo 'if [ -f ~/bin/.alias ]; then . ~/bin/.alias; fi' >> ~/.bashrc'

Neither seems to have completed the assignment.

I have Debian live on my USB plugged in, and this is the only option I have on my Bios when I try to point the boot to USB. Why do I have to choose a file in the USB? What do I choose? Computer is alienware alpha r2

>>58863424
...The alias/aliasfile thing is a typo. I should probably get some sleep. Thank you for pointing that out, anon.

echo bin
> aliasfile

Is meant to print the word "bin" (just to make things simpler for me), then create an empty file called aliasfile.

>>58863488
Some old BIOS can't boot from USB but that doesn't seem to be the case, just check the boot priorities and see if USB is in there, there's also likely a boot menu when you boot your computer where you can select the boot device.

>>58863556
I see that's fine then, you don't usually need to create a file before writing to it since by writing it automatically creates it. I thought you wanted to echo bin into the aliasfile with a newline or something weird like that.

No worries - You run `source ~/.bashrc` from the command line of the terminal window you're in.

If that doesn't work, and the command you've been trying to fix is working properly when run on the command line, you might try restarting your terminal window. If that still doesn't work then let us know.

>>58864855
I bet. Currently I am installing a similar distro, Source Mage, installation instructions use rather esoterical examples, like using 7 partitions and XFS for root filesystem.

Pretty strange fuckery, when in reality one can copy paste the first part from the gentoo handbook right up where one download the stage3 tarball.

But at the end, when you installed one source based distro, you pretty much become familiar with all.

Does anyone know where the fuck or under what fucking name does the Dolphin file manager install itself because I can't fucking find it

Searched the entire disk with "dolphin" and found nothing

>>58865221
kde-apps/dolphin :^)

>>58865113
GTK is developed by ants

>>58865221
There are usually ways to detect which files any package installs. The exact command depends on your package manager
and then all you'd have to do is
| grep bin
to find the executables

>>58865293
I actually can't find a way to change it.. old Firefox had file association with "file" where you could specify which manager opened it, but its removed in the newest. And changing file picker in the about:config brings out ugly piece of shit.

>>58865300
Yeah my issue was that I typed Dolphin with big D to "Preferred Application" context menu, it was a small d actually lol

Fuck, accidentally started x as root. Now lightdm gives a black screen when I put my password in correctly, and then send me back to login again. startx says timeout in locking authority file, and I already chowned xauthority to myself. What do?

PIECE OF FUCKING SHIT FAGGOT BROWSER FUCK IT AND ITS FILE PICKER

>>58865307
I just use my normal file manager (Thunar has decent sized thumbnails, but dolphins are even bigger I think)
and then just drag and drop the file I want into the 4chan file upload

>>58865349
P.S.
made a keyboard hotkey that opens thunar right up to my 4chan images folder to make it even easier

>>58865340

There's no dependency hell in Slackware. That "hell" what the normies think. There are slackbuilds that tell you precisely what dependencies you need to install any package. There's even a tool called sbo-tool for the really lazy slackers.

I need to install windows because one program I need runs terrible on wine.
I have a separate empty hd ready.
How do I do this easy without grub being removed?

So far I've only discovered long tutorials with long lines of code you have to use with the Linux install medium to fix it. As a beginner that's too hard for me.

I'm attempting to install Gentoo, after setting up Funtoo on his PC a few months ago. I have a laptop with a 3rd gen i7-3630QM and Nvidia GT 650M. Are my CFLAGS okay if I set them this way :

CFLAGS="-march=ivybridge -O2 -pipe"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"

Any general recommendations?

>>58865811
Not an expert here, but I thought -march=native was pretty much what everyone used. Did you read something that said to use ivybridge?

>>58865834
The make.conf.example stated to use either native or ivybridge. I'm not really sure which one to use.

>>58865481
Users who don't upload pictures of racist frogs to the 4chan botnet don't have this problem.

>>58865678
Generally the older a game the better the wine support. New releases often cause bugs on wine and it takes a while to get it ironed out. If I wanted to play new games I'd have a windows virtual machine with gpu passthrough. You get a really cheap gpu to handle Linux stuff and let qemu have complete control over the other. Then you have 95% performance compared to native.

>>58858808
Wow, turns out i actually need linux because haxm doesnt work with amd processors on windows. on top of that mysql seems to install better on unix like oses.

So my question is is ubuntu really the best of productivity and stuff? im not a super noob with linux but when i tried to install debian a while ago on my my computer i couldnt get anything to work (no networking, gui and stretched image).

What do you reccomend?

>>58868025
Just install Ubuntu. It's the basic recommendation for new people. It's not a timesink hobby-OS like Arch or Gentoo so you can get straight back2working

>>58868067
ive used xubuntu on the daily for a net surfing machine, and since i want to do myssql stuff i was wondering if debian would be better for it?

>>58868025
honestly, in terms of productivity, the only difference between distro is the amount of work you have to do to setup you developing environment.

Most Android projects suggest (as in "support") ubuntu which means some tools may require extra configuration on some other distro, so in the end I would go with any *buntu distro in your case.

Firefox uses GTK on Linux. It uses the GTK file dialog. Inform yourself before spouting bullshit, retard. It's not Firefox's fault, but GTK's.

>>58868956
So how can I switch it to use Dolphin? About:config file picker false just made it go even smaller without preview

>>58868914
On arch not really. It's everyday bread.

>>58868964

Dolphin is a file manager and unrelated to this.
You cannot switch it. You have to rewrite Firefox to use KDE's file dialog (not even Qt's default file dialog, because it's worse than GTK's).

I just made this.

It checks in this order for documentations:
Shell builtin? -> Installed program? -> Alias or Function? -> None of them, look online?

men() {
    input="${1:?}"

    help_response="$(help "${input}" 2>/dev/null)"
    man_response="$(man "${input}" 2>/dev/null)"
    type_response="$(type "${input}" 2>/dev/null)"

    if [[ "${help_response}" ]]; then

        man "${input}"
    elif [[ "${type_response}" ]]; then
        type "${input}"
    else

breddy useful, thanks

what does input="${1:?}" do?

>>58869265
No, I never updated a bios in my life.

It still boots fine and everything, just has these warnings printed out.

>>58869271
Just a shortcut checking if there's any user input, if not, it throws an error like this:

bash: 1: parameter null or not set

Check the bash manual for "Parameter Expansions" for more stuff.

>>58869221
>if else
just use case

>>58869221
Absolutly sexist.
Would not use.

>>58869001

a) use a distribution which uses a patched Firefox that makes it use KDE's file dialog
b) patch it yourself on your distribution
c) patch GTK2's file dialog and make sure to compile Firefox with GTK2 support instead of 3
d) learn to organize your files, rely on the tiny preview and wait for an improvement to hit GTK3

>>58869291
well it's a power management issue (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Configuration_and_Power_Interface), it may be a bios or kernel bug, but it's not particularly worrying on a gaming mobo.

So I want to buy a new pc and I thought it would be a good idea to choose hardware which runs nicly with free software.
Any recommendations for things like Wifi and GPU?

>>58869453
for wlan go with intel (proprietary drivers but work) or atheros (free drivers but work).

for gpu you either go with intel iGPU (should be the least painful one, as the drivers provided by intel are included in the kernel and you don't have to install anything).

For dedicated GPU you should go with AMD and opensource-radeon drivers if the GPU doesn't support amdgpu-pro.
Otherwise go with amd and amdgpu-pro drivers.

Avoid laptops with switching GPUs like fire

>>58869539

How do you know Intel's WLAN device drivers are proprietary?

>>58869539
>Avoid laptops with switching GPUs like fire
Everybody says this but the AMD opensource driver support PRIME offloading and for nvidia bumblebee while a bit shitty is still an option.

For wifi just get one of these adapters from minifree. That said, for a pc why using wifi anyway? wifi is insecure as fuck, use a cable. :^)

gpu: amd was good till the latest dilemma
now nvidia seems to be the sane way to go (with cuck drivers)

wpa2 is yet to be broken, usually the weak ring is some bugged router (like BS routers that sill keep wps enabled by default)

>>58869662

Doesn't that mean that only the firmware is non-free, but the kernel drivers are?

>>58870134
there are massive quantities of binary modules in the linux kernel

>>58870134
The firmware is the driver.

>>58870174
How is that acceptable?

>>58870204
They're modules.

>>58870204
It isn't (even violates the gpl) but people accept it because it makes their hardware run.

>>58870254
how? you need to install it manually, don't you?

>>58870277
That's Debian. Debian's kernel isn't the vanilla kernel, it's deblobbed so you need to add stuff manually.

Same with Pitivi flatpak.
I used --user installing all the flatpak runtimes and repos etc ( to keep everything in ~) and no issues. But I've had some probs with repos being down or simply dissapearing with no notice. (nightly graphics apps).
Haven't tried snaps but flatpak is apparently better in some respects.
There's virtually nothing in terms of kde for flatpak or snaps it seems.
I've had better results with appimages tbqh.

>>58870329
on arch they are delivered in a separate package called linux-firmware.

>>58870181

Are you sure? Isn't there a difference? According to the Debian Wiki page itself, the kernel has the driver, you just need the firmware from a separate source.

-A function # because -f is taken for files or folders or something like that.

Friendly thread.

One of the weirdest shit I'll never understand is this, at the moment I have X completely frozen. I tried ctrl + alt + f2 and it didn't work, I tried sysrq magic keys and those too didn't work, it didn't even respond to pings. All I did was kill Compton and start it again. I've seen this kind of frozen X about 3 times in 2 years. Is there a reason why this might happen?

>>58872031
>sysrq magic keys and those too didn't work
sysrq should work even during certain kernel panics, you probably have to enable them or are using the wrong key combination

>>58871922
I am considering that for next time.

I wonder if you could use the archlinux cd and just go as far as arch-chroot. Arch guide says pacstrap before arch-chroot though.

Has anyone else had font breakage with tewi, terminus, and lemon? I imagine something besides the fonts themselves is the cause since it's more than one. I posted here weeks ago about the issue on Arch, and now I've run into it on NixOS. I think it's an upstream issue, but I'm not sure why no one else is running into it. Not sure where to report it either. It's pretty awful.

>>58869807
I wonder if anyone has drawn robots/superhumans seeing lewd radio waves and reacting to it.

>Prove me wrong.
You're right. But who ever said that was a deciding factor?

Here's my beef with it:
If they were trying to keep things lightweight and didn't want to load libraries and code into their filepicker for image rendering then that would be acceptable, I could understand that.
But what I don't understand is that the filepicker clearly already DOES have the capability of rendering images. How the hell could changing "16x16" to "128x128" in the code, or adding a little slider to change the size possibly inconvenience anyone? Sure it might use more memory but that's a clientside problem, that shouldn't effect the developers at all, the change they need to make is extremely minimal.

is that a troll OP?

>>58874096
As >>58874173
pointed out, in addition to the "Ctrl-V" clipboard used by GTK/Qt/other GUI apps, there is a middle-click clipboard analogous to how the mouse works in a TTY - as soon as you select text in any program, it goes into the buffer, if you middle click it pastes from the buffer. the middle-click clipboard works even in programs that do not have a "Ctrl-V" paste, such as xterm/rxvt. if you right click in your browser and select "Copy link" or "Copy image location" or click on a YT video and select "Copy video URL" it also goes into the middle-click buffer so you can easily paste that into a wget or youtube-dl or mpv command. just be careful pasting into a command line because it will read all newlines as if you typed it in and hit enter.
