Why do amateur game developers hate linux this much?

What are some cool Linux commands?

Reposting

Anyone got an r9 290? I get tons of glitches in a lot of 3d games, some work, but most don't. Mostly no textures. I tried the radeon driver and the amdgpu driver, both glitch out the same. How do I make it work? I'm using mesa 17.0.3 and linux 4.10-19, please help.

printing is managed by CUPS, not the kernel. Check if CUPS supports its.

note: start with the Gutenprint package, I needed that when I had a Canon printer.

Think for a second.
Will your program run if it depends on another program that has a different version dependency than you satisfy?

If you really want to ins a package without its' dependencies, there are ways, but for your own sake, don't fucking do that

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.

>Perhaps the main difference between Gentoo and SourceMage is the ease of use and installation, which is faster because of the project's emphasis on speed
>It's mainly targeted at Linux From Scratch users bored from the process of maintaining their systems manually, and will look somewhat familiar for Debian users, as its package manager shares some concepts with Apt, but is far more flexible. Also, SourceMage has a Social Contract similar to the Debian Social Contract.

Mail me at "[email protected]" if you have any questions.

Sadly, a kernel by itself gets you nowhere. To get a working system you
need a shell, compilers, a library etc. These are separate parts and may
be under a stricter (or even looser) copyright. Most of the tools used
with linux are GNU software and are under the GNU copyleft. These tools
aren't in the distribution - ask me (or GNU) for more info.

It goes beyond the scope of what it was meant to replace and does not follow the unix way. If it was a init system replacing an init system people would probably be taking it better. However, it is an init system a cron replacement a session manager a dbus replacement and a udev replacement, among other things.

In short, it's emacs. A low level, highest privilege emacs.

I actually want to get to the bottom of why fedoras networking works on my computer but not a single debian (and by extension ubuntu) derivative will work no matter what i try. is there some sort of default programme for networking maybe? the only clues i have to go on is debian says the dhcp server is slow or not setup when trying to connect and all gui trials for connecting to wifi result in it asking for authentication (the password) again. Would this mean arch or some other non debian/buntu systems would also work/ not work? what is it that makes fedora seemingly special?

Is it possible to format my media drive as fat32 so it can be read by both my windows boot and linux boot so they both have access to the same files? if not, what's the best way to do this? i'm only storing images, videos, and music on there

>>60548500
What are you even asking, I fail to see what one has to do with the other.

>>60548525
You can format for fat32 in Gparted

>>60548500
Shouldn't be that bad. Just make a file with a list of your packages and install them once you hop. There may be some minor config breakage, but other than that you should be fine.

>>60548481
Beats me anon. Both are kind of dumb, but at least emacs doesn't take your entire system with it if it crashes.

>>60548500
Just run rm ~ before changing the distro, You don't even super user privileges, it's safe.

rm -rf ~

dot files are auto generated, right?
So deleting them should solve any issue.

>>60548575
dot files are "hidden" files. You can create them manually, too.

>>60548575
I don't think they're generated automatically. There is probably a directory on the system where the default configuration files are kept, though so you should be fine to delete them if something stops working. Don't delete them if you have customizations though, try getting them working first.

i just tried to fix what should be a mundane problem for 3 hours

local-fs.target not able to mount my lvm (1m30s timeout on all 7 of them), then booting emergency.target in which everything is mounted fine, ctrl+d goes to graphical.target just fine

no fucking clue what is wrong, ran a million commands to examine the situation, cleaned my udev rules (though i have no hint in any logs that it is because of udev) googled and found people with the same problem, still no fucking clue why it fails or what it is waiting for

>>60548542
id argue it does since emacs is closer to running virtual os. you lose your workspacr when it crashes since it encourages workflow from with emacs exclusively.

I don't like systemd because of polkit. The configurations are in fucking JavaScript and it's extremely buggy. Even when ran as root, I didn't have permission to connect to my KVM server. Tried a bunch of guides, none worked. Probably because of backwards incompatibility.

>>60548500
Be aware that usernames are an abstraction and what the system actually uses are user numerical IDs, and the way these IDs are assigned is not completely uniform. It may happen, for example, that on your first distro your user was ID 1000, then you change distros, create a user with the same name and get ID 500 instead. Your files will not belong to you then.

It's easy to fix - either chown your files, or change your user's numerical ID. It's just something you should remember - if your first login fails with a bunch of errors about not being able to read or write some file, this may be the cause.

is there a way to query hex dumps from any running userspace process in linux with the memory pages labeled by program? Is there a way to inject payloads into these without starting them in debugging mode?

I want to watch processes communicate in-memory byte-by-byte.

>asking this here because the phone generals seem more interested in hardware
My S5 is in need of a wipe soon, so I decided to tinker around with a custom OS. I am looking for something lightweight, but that I can still have set up with the jewgle botnet (i am a slave to the calendar/reminders, and don't feel like switching just yet.)

My main goal is simply to leave the default OS for something that I can tinker with as a past time, but I fear losing the services I've come to rely on.

Is there a distro that I can look into or should I just stick with the Cyanogen one or whatever is the go-to? I'm not really interested in "features" outside of ricing and botnet support. I am probably going to switch to a different phone in a month or so, so longevity isn't too important.

Also, I read the wiki but it isn't too helpful in deciding what ROM to go with. Figured I'd get some opinions before I dive in.

I'm not hating on the concept of source based distros, but "just werks" isn't the first thing that comes to my mind. Can you explain why you feel that way?

I've just started using Mageia, and when I try to install software, I often get the message, 'Please insert the medium named "Core Release"'. What does this mean? And why do I have to do it? Being the superuser doesn't remove this need. Am I going to have to keep plugging in the USB drive with Mageia on it every time I want to install anything?

>>60550723
Sounds like you didnt install properly

>>60550723
i had this issue with opensuse once.
you must disable the disk as a source for repos in whatever file the package manager uses to find repos. for debian/ubuntu, it'd in /etc/apt/sources.list, where you'd remove the line that says 'deb: cdrom '

>>60545891

A fail to see what one has do with the other. Because of the fact you compile packages to suit your specific needs there is a less chance of something breaking.

You're definitely close, but I'm too new to know what I need to change. I did vi /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg, and I'm pretty certain that's the right file, but there's nothing in there that says "repos" or "cdrom" that I could see.

The purpose of asking in this thread was specifically to see if there is such a thing. Specifically the lightweight aspect.

My goal is to tinker, ricing comes second. I don't want to chose a custom ROM that is trying to be the greatest at everything, just one to play around with and learn, preferably without losing the function of my phone.

Guess I'll just install gentoo.

Is there any way in Arch to download the source code for an official (i.e. not AUR) package and compile it from source, then have it installed as if it were downloaded from the repositories (i.e. all files will be placed in the same location without me manually having to move them there)?

Took me just about 3 months to figure this one out, stupid patent trolls prevented mesa from including their library.
