Any NixOS users here?

I'm starting work in an office where they only use Windows workstations, so I'm going to need a VM. I'll probably use whatever distro they run on their servers for maximum compatibility, but I've heard great things about NixOS and always wanted to try it, so I might prepare an image to have in the back pocket.

Is it suitable as a work OS, or does it require a lot of fiddling about with configs? I like the idea of declaring the entire system, pressing a button, going for coffee and coming back to a perfectly set up box that just werks, but I'm not sure if that matches reality. Also I like the idea of using the latest software, yet have rollbacks when things don't work out perfectly, but that can be accomplished with snapshots anyway when running in a VM.

Is gentoo dead?

Expect less breakage and a better system, but also more people laughing about you.

If I'm trying to truly capture that ~1990s era feel in computing, what tools, window manager / de (that's not CDE, sadly) would you recommend?

Currently, I have the following:
1) Lynx for web browsing
2) Vi for document editing
3) Classic GIMP
4) Older Open Office version

I only really need some shitty fonts and a good window manager / desktop environment to top it off.

Kernels aren't supposed to play games. That's what an operating system is for.

my SMB share mounts automatically, but if I want to use the terminal in the shares folder it's a pain in the ass. I can't just right click "open terminal here" for some reason. I have to cd to the mount point, the cd to the smb share, then cd into the right folder etc etc it ends up being

cd /run/user/1000/gvfs/smb-share:server=192.168.0.2,share=USBcopy/media

Is there a way to streamline this, somehow save it in the terminal so I can type a shortcut and quickly get there or something? it's always mounted to the same point and has the same IP on the network.

It is right and proper to mention the principal contribution first. The GNU contribution to the system is not only bigger than Linux and prior to Linux, we actually started the whole activity.

However, if you prefer to call the system “Linux/GNU”, that is a lot better than what people usually do, which is to omit GNU entirely and make it seem that the whole system is Linux.

What is the graphics card with the best linux support? Relatively new graphics card, I should say, for a new ryzen build.

>>59176102
More importantly: what's the best desktop GPU that works without any blobs?

>>59176102
Go nvidia if you want the most performance with proprietary drivers. AMD for free drivers with decent performance that's only getting better. Also possible virtualization support on the RX480 to end dualbooting.

>>59176232
Nouveau lost its purpose when Nvidia gave them signed blobs, so you are left with the RX 480. I think it's the fastest card while on free drivers. I don't know if it has blobs.

>>59176102
I've only had problems with AMD cards regardless if it's the open source or fglrx, don't know how well the new amdgpu drivers perform. Nvidia will be problem if you use nouveau, official drivers occasionally have hiccups but it's nowhere near as bad as fglrx can be.

Why isn't "less +F" documented?
>works like tail -f

>>59176375
because with +F you're sending less the key "F", which is well documented:

  F      Scroll  forward,  and  keep  trying to read when the end of file is reached.  Normally this command would be used when already at the end of the file.  It is a way to monitor the tail of a
              file which is growing while it is being viewed.  (The behavior is similar to the "tail -f" command.)

Publishers often refer to copying they don't approve of as “piracy.” In this way, they imply that it is ethically equivalent to attacking ships on the high seas, kidnapping and murdering the people on them. Based on such propaganda, they have procured laws in most of the world to forbid copying in most (or sometimes all) circumstances. (They are still pressuring to make these prohibitions more complete.)

If you don't believe that copying not approved by the publisher is just like kidnapping and murder, you might prefer not to use the word “piracy” to describe it. Neutral terms such as “unauthorized copying” (or “prohibited copying” for the situation where it is illegal) are available for use instead. Some of us might even prefer to use a positive term such as “sharing information with your neighbor.”

GNU'd just like to interGNU for a GNUment. What you’re GNUing to as GNU, is in fact, GNU/GNU, or as GNU's recently taken to GNUing it, GNU plus GNU. GNU is not an GNU GNUstem unto itGNU, but rather another GNUree GNU of a fully GNUing GNU GNUstem made GNUful by the GNU GNUlibs, GNU GNUtilties and vital GNU GNUponents GNUing a full GNU OS as GNUed by GNU.

Many GNU GNUers run a GNUified GNUrsion of the GNU GNUstem every GNU, without GNUing it. Through a GNUuliar turn of GNU, the GNUrsion of GNU which is GNUly used today is often called “GNU”, and many of its GNUers are not GNU that it is GNUically the GNU GNUstem, GNUed by the GNU ProjGNU.

There really is a GNU, and these GNUple are GNUing it, but it is GNU a GNU of the GNUstem they use. GNU is the GNU: the GNU in the GNUstem that GNUs the GNU’s GNU to the other GNU that you GNU. The GNU is a GNUtial GNU of an GNU GNUstem, but GNUless by itGNU; GNU can only GNUtion in the GNUtext of a GNUplete GNU GNUstem. GNU is GNUmally used in combiGNUtion with the GNU GNU GNUstem: the whole GNUstem is GNUsically GNU with GNU added, or GNU/GNU.

Hello there! You seem to have used the term "open source".
The term "open source" was created by a group of people that did not want to be associated with the free software movement. When I say "free" software (which is one of the alternatives preferable to "open source"). It's not about price; in that case I would say "gratis", or "free as in free beer". It's about "freedom"! This is what the free software movement is fighting for.
So what is "free" software? Free software is any software that guarantees the user the four essential software freedoms:
> 0. Run the program as you wish.
> 1. Study the source code and change it so it does what you wish.
> 2. Redistribute exact copies of the program.
> 3. Distribute your modified version of the program.
Some people decided that they wanted to restrict the user; but being able to study and modify the "open source" code is not enough! This is directly hurting the cause of the free software movement because it takes away the sociological "freedom" aspect of free software and turns it into a technological one.
So for those reasons I ask that in the future you use the terms "free", "free/libre" or, if necessary "FLOSS" (short for "free/libre and open source"), though the latter should still be avoided.

Nothing will ever make those embarassing posts you made on forums as a teenager disappear.

Attention, freedom lovers.

I do not come to this thread often these days but I should let you know something important. It's about the recent security exploits constantly being discovered.

I'm not against Linux. However I do appreciate FOSS more than Linux and *nix. FOSS is the reason why I left the land of windows to Linux. With that said Linux is very convenient and nice.
Problem with Linux and and its SDLC is, Linus is a C purist. I know he is a talented programmer. However C has flaws. It's full of undefined/unspecified behaviors, doesn't prevent data races, has no bounds checking, has no mechanism to prevent dangling pointers and exception handling is practically non-existent. Which is why it is easier to build software with hidden exploits and vulnerabilities in C. Linus is an excellent programmer but he made many mistakes, only because he's a human.

Rust is a fully free and open source modern programming language that addresses this issue very firmly. Rust's built in mechanism like borrow checker, RAII memory management, lifetime etc makes up for almost all of C's safety lackings.

It is harder to write an vulnerable program in Rust unless the developer wants to.

However the fact that Rust improves security is an eye sore to the NSA. I think NSA is making Micros**t and Goo*** to hire anti-shills to campaign against Rust's adoption. Reminder to ignore anti-Rust shills. Anti-Rust shills have a predictable way of defending C:
>You are too retarded for C
Linus made silly mistakes that lead to Linux's TCP/IP vulnerability, OpenSSH has had heartbleed and Grub2's infamous 29 backspace bypass vulnerability was all silly mistakes that everyone makes. Not saying Rust is a panacea to all exploits but it's a major step forward.
>Rust is too hard
While it is true in some sense but Rust is only 2 y/o. As more authors write books on it, it will become easy to learn
>You won't make mistakes in visual studio
This is a nice way of shilling MSVSC aka telemetry compiler.

Hallo! Du hast offenbar den Begriff "offene Software" benutzt.
Dieser Begriff wurde von einer Gruppe von leuten geprägt, die nichts mit der Bewegung für freie Software zu tun haben wollten. Was ist freie Software? Freie Software ist jede Software, die dem Benutzer die vier grundlegenden Freiheiten der Software einräumt:
> 0. Das Programm so auszuführen wie du es wünschst.
> 1. Den Quellcode des Programms zu studieren und ihn zu verändern so dass das Programm tut was du willst.
> 2. Exakte Kopien des Programms zu verbreiten.
> 3. Eine modifizierte Version des Programms zu verbreiten.
Einige Leute beschlossen, dass sie die Rechte des Benutzers beschneiden wollen; aber den "offenen" Quelltext nur studieren und modifizieren zu dürfen ist nicht genug! Diese Einschränkung behindert auf direkte Art und Weise die Umsetzung der Ziele der Bewegung für freie Software, weil es den soziologischen Aspekt der SoftwareFREIHEIT ignoriert und die Problematik in eine technologische uminterpretiert.
Aus diesen Gründen bitte ich dich, in Zukunft die Begriffe "frei" oder, wenn notwendig, "FLOSS" (kurz für Englisch: "free/libre and open source software") zu benutzen, obwohl der letztere Begriff trotzdem vermieden werden sollte.

Zdravo! Izgleda da ste koristili pojam "otvoreni kod".
Pojam "otvoreni kod" je kovan od grupe ljudi koji nisu htijeli biti povezani sa pokretom slobodnog softvera. Kad ja kažem "slobodan" softver (što je jedna od alternativa za "otvoreni kod") nije u vezi cijene; u tom slučaju bi rekli "besplatan", ili "slobodan kao besplatno pivo". Radi se o slobodi! To je stvar za koju se bori pokret slobodnog softvera.
Šta je onda slobodni softver? Slobodni softver je bilo koji softver koji garantuje korisniku četiri esencijalne slobode:
> 0. Pokreni program kako želite.
> 1. Izuči izvorni kod i izmjeni ga prema svojim potrebama.
> 2. Redistribuiraj iste kopije programa
> 3. Distribuiraj svoju modificiranu kopiju programa.
Neki ljudi su se odlučili da žele uskratiti korisnika; ali sposobnost da izučavate izvorni "otvoreni kod" nije dovoljno! Ovo direktno šteti povodu pokreta slobodnog softvera jer uklanja aspekt društvene "slobode" i pretvara ga u tehničku.
Zbog tih razloga od Vas tražim da u u bućnosti koristite izraze "slobodan", "slobodan/libre" ili ako je potrebno "FLOSS" (kratko za eng. "free/libre and open source"), iako posljednji bi se trebao izbjegavati.

I'm asking here because this is more like the Sysadmin thread than just /fglt/

So I have this file server at work running windows server 2012 r2 that I need to backup, previously it was done with an external drive but the old one ran out of space so a new one was purchased. I ran the inbuilt windows backup utility, the backup starts fine but after a fair while I get the error "Not enough physical disks to complete the requested operation" anyone have clue what this actually means as there's enough space on the drive and a fair amount of free space on the machine itself. I ran the backup again using the old drive and selected only a few locations to backup and again one of those failed with the same error.

Google doesn't give me any useful insight into this error or ways to go about solving it.

Pathetic poser.

>>59185307
Not much to tell, we learned some basics like introducing ourselves, giving directions and stuff. Everyone had a Polish pen pal who was learning German in our partner town and like 4 times a year we either went there or they came to Germany. We chatted a bit, looked at the towns, did some hiking and exchanged small gifts.
It was pretty fun but when I graduated from primary school I had to learn French instead and stopped learning Polish and subsequently forgot everything about it except pronunciation (so I can read stuff aloud without understanding it) and counting.

For your information the plan is to have multiple laptops with some different os/shells for different purposes. When you have a old ass laptop with hardware that is considered dated it's a great platform for figuring this stuff out and configuring stuff I'm not sure is going to work instead of getting an error on a more useful PC and having to dick around with fixing it.
