Welcome to /fglt/ - Friendly GNU/Linux Thread.
Users of all levels are welcome to ask questions about GNU/Linux and share their experiences.
*** Please be civil, notice the "Friendly" in every Friendly GNU/Linux Thread. ***
Before asking for help, please check our list of resources[*].
If you would like to try out GNU/Linux you can do one of the following:
0) Install a GNU/Linux distribution of your choice in a Virtual Machine using VirtualBox or other software made for this puporse for safety purposes.
1) Use the Live ISO (if your distribution of choice has one) to boot directly into the GNU/Linux distribution without installing anything, that way, you can get to experience the GNU/Linux operating system without installing it.
2) Dual boot the GNU/Linux distribution of your choice along with Windows or macOS, this is recommended if you want to know more about the GNU/Linux operating system.
3) Go balls deep and replace everything with GNU/Linux.

I have a Wget configured to print only the progress bar. But as this would flood my terminal screen, I configured the script do delete the progress bar after it reaches 100%, before printing the next on the same line. The problem is: sometimes the download does not occurs, so there is nothing printed by Wget, and the script delete previous lines about unrelated things.
How to detect if Wget printed a progress bar? I can't use "$?", as Wget returns "0" even if nothing was downloaded.

Ubuntu MATE is the best distro no contest
I have the following in my ~/.xinitrc:./.xinitrc:export QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=""
Now, after booting the system, it's set to gtk:[~] ยป echo $QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE
gtk
What gives? I grep'd my entire home folder and there's no sign of any other export.
Do I have to put that into ~/.zshrc instead?
What's the best music player for mobile /g/?
I've been messing with poweramp and blackplayer and can't decide what I want.
What do you use on your phone?
Phonograph
BlackPlayer.
Nice UI, good customization.
Highly recommended.
foobar mobile is getting there. It's the only mobile player that plays SOME obscure video game formats, but not all of them yet (which PC foobar2000 does brilliantly)
music players on Android are garbage

Why did foobar sell out?
>have to enable at least two or three scripts per website for it to resemble functionality
why is this allowed?
If it requires too many scripts I just give up. Usually the content doesn't require much
What if we had a proxy that loaded each page you want, deals with all the JS bullshit and then screencasts you the website but image mapped? Because it is image mapped you could still interact with all the elements but you wouldn't have to load any tracking shit -- the proxy would take the hit? Does anyone understand. Pls understand

Why aren't you using uMatrix?
Has anyone on /g/ ever developed custom firmware for Android devices, specifically ones that didn't run AOSP to begin with?

I tried porting Sailfish os on my Z3C, without much success though. In my experience it's not really coding, you just have to bring bits and pieces together. It's not really hard but it can be very boring and frustrating.
