Why the fuck does everybody act like running anything at all as the root user for even a second will make you grow hair on your palms, go blind, cause your computer to explode, have your house burn down and cause your dick to fall off?

I understand that it is a very privileged account, but everybody is so fucking irritable about it.

If you run xev and scroll, does it regonize it?

It's because you don't have the privileges to scroll the mouse.

So I want to run my C program on linux, it's a server for a website so it has to listen in port 80 but linux has the problem that it doesn't let a program bind a socket to port 80 unless it is "root", then I read this

So I would like to port my game on Linux before launch. I already spent months choosing the right libraries (or rather lack of), but I still have to identify the last Linux-specific issues.
If anyone wants to help porting more Linux games, here is the stuff.

I'm making a game where you control nanomachines (small robots) by creating Artificial Intelligences made of graphical symbols.

You're referring to part A of pic related. But who the fuck actually uses the list of applications to run things regularly? Everyone I know either searches (see part B) or uses a dock with shortcuts (not pictured, but can easily be done). Also you can enable a pseudo start menu via gnome-tweak-tool (see part C).

Somewhat agree, but 3 is very polished at this point, and you can configure it to work pretty much how you want (and I'm running 3.14), via regular settings and the tweak tool.

hey, so I tried installing Android Studio on Windows 10, it worked blah blah BUT because I don't have an Intel processor, the emulator was the slowest shit in existence. It literally took like 20 minutes to boot up.

Then I switch to Jewbuntu. While I'm installing Android Studio they tell me about something called Linux KVM. I do that. The emulator works as fast as my android phone does. No lag at all. That wasn't even given as an option on windows.

I'm trying to wipe a USB with dd.
However the output just kind of hangs here

Am I supposed to exit the terminal now, or did I do something wrong?

set autoindent

>>55670156
>>55670218
A few settings you'll definitely want:

set nocompatible           " Disables vi compatibility mode, which is pretty useless nowadays
filetype plugin indent on  " Enable filetype detection and indentation
syntax on                  " Enable syntax highlighting
set number                 " Show line numbers
set hidden                 " Allow for hidden buffers
set ttyfast                " because nobody is using a slow terminal in this century
set textwidth=n            " Set word wrap line length

Setting up some command aliases to run git commands from vim is extremely useful as well. The possibilities are endless.

Guys, I'm trying to write a Debian ISO to a usb using dd with

dd if=firmware-8.5.0-amd64-netinst.iso of=/dev/sdd

And it seems to finish okay with

544768+0 records in
544768+0 records out
278921216 bytes (279 MB, 266 MiB) copied, 139.809 s, 2.0 MB/s

output. But alas, when I open it in gparted just to check, I get greeted by a message saying "Libparted Warning: The driver descriptor says the physical block size is 2048 bytes, but Linux says it is 512 bytes." with the options to either Cancel or Ignore.

How can I fix this? If I click Cancel it just shows me the empty 2GB USB, but if I click Ignore it shows me the USB with Debian but seemingly 7 GB of space. What gives?

Is this fixable by using sync as an argument with dd or what?

>>55670559
Are you sure that your iso is compatible with usb key?

Fantastic for servers. Kind of a pain to use on desktops because of old software, but definitely doable if you don't care about that. But you're very likely to, seeing as the mpv in stable is so old that it doesn't work for streams and whatnot, and there is no official backport for it so you have to make your own, and that's pretty hellish. It's just comfier to upgrade to testing or sid and not have to worry about anything (except of course paying attention to what aptitude is upgrading or removing when you tell it to)

Protip, install apt-listbugs when you're on Testing or Sid so that when you are ugrading software, it warns you of any critical bugs that have been reported, so you can decide whether to upgrade now or hold off.

So guys, I have an old laptop whose Wi-Fi card I thought was dead.

But now while installing Debian, I noticed that it *did* detect the card, install the correct iwlwifi drivers, and could even detect networks during install. It just couldn't connect to my home network.

Is there any hope for it that I could diagnose it when Debian is finished installing (did it with ethernet), or is that sign that it's probably dead and I'm just getting false hopes?

No but you're most likely going to want to remove one when you pick your favorite, and at that point if you try to uninstall it, you may break your computer a little bit to the point that you can't login.

As to your earlier question, Gnome is much more stable and simple, more widely used. KDE has more options and configurations possible, but it's less stable.

Unity is worth trying out for a while as well(if you're on Ubuntu). It's like Gnome with more free screen space and many keyboard commands enabled by default.

I would just like to interject for one moment. The operating system you are suggesting for me to install, and rather commandingly might I add, will in fact, not directly solve my current problem at hand, and will actually cause me to ask further questions about the difficult process involved in installing it. Gentoo is a very nice operating system itself, but I'd rather you directly assist me in my quest to solve my current predicament.

I understand that many computer users run the Gentoo Linux operating system, and I realize they may enjoy it greatly and are not currently experiencing the current problem that I have whilst using my non-Gentoo operating system. Through a peculiar turn of events, I have noticed an enormous amount of users make the "Install Gentoo" suggestion, but many of its users are not aware that this suggestion, in most cases, is actually not an "easy-fix" to every single computer-related error.

There really are reasons for installing Gentoo, and there are people using it, but it is just for the few users who choose to compile their own source code locally according to their chosen configuration. Gentoo is just another operating system: the problems I am experiencing will not undeviatingly be solved if I make the choice to install it. All these so-called "Install Gentoo" suggestions I am noticing should cease immediately.

So I installed Tahrpup 6.0.5 using LICK, and and it's saved in Windows with its own ext4 partition to save files in. Periodically (It's only happened when I force shutdown my pc while booting Windows) I'll load into PuppyLinux and it'll say that "Windows has hibernated NTFS partition" or something like that. The only way to fix it is to reboot, load windows, reboot again, then load Puppy.

Is there a way I can either stop windows from hibernating the partition, or move Puppy into the ext4 partition?

How can I automate mounting of different USB drives? Like suppose I use Gentoo and I want to plug the USB of a friend, what is the best way to automate this?

How do I hook a script to a specific x events? I want to take a screenshot on every left mouse button press.

these tools look like they will only help me change and/or replace the functionality of the left mouse button and the events that it generates, but I don't want to change what it will do, I want to add to it. So clicking a tab in firefox should focus that tab, and also take a screenshot. Dragging a scrollbar should scroll the page, and also take a screenshot, etc.

I will read into their man pages further but I just wanted to make sure my needs were clear.

As far as I know, LXDE is on a development freeze and still on GTK2 with no plans to support GTK3 because the dev didn't like it, which is the reason of LXQT's existence too. I'm a bit worried about installing it and then having to stop using it later because of that.
