Definitely an old person's PC.

Try LXDE (like Xubuntu, but with a nicer configuration and set of preinstalled apps out of the box), Korora (user-friendly Fedora), or possibly ElementaryOS (a Mac OS-like)

>>55767592
Ahem, I meant "cloths"*

>>55767592

LXDE is a desktop environment. Xubuntu is a distribution based on Ubuntu with Xfce. You cannot compare those, LXDE cannot be "like" Xubuntu.

Stop recommending shitty, niche, spin-off distributions like Korora. Fedora is already "user-friendly". There is nothing Korora can do to make it "friendlier". The same applies to Elementary Os. It's an immature distribution, with a relatively new desktop environment which offers nothing other environments or self-assembled ones don't. THe only thing it offers are more bugs due to its immaturity.

It's like you heard someone mention those things and are now recommending them without actually looking into it yourself. What kind of person does that? You're not helping anyone when you perpetuate some "memes" or latest myths.

>>55767713
this

screen or tmux?

>>55768051

Debian, Fedora, Ubuntu, Arch are the only distributions. The others might work well, but the more united we are, the stronger we'll get. Stop with forks and meme distros, please. (inb4 Ubuntu)

>>55768339
One Gentoo to rule them all.

>>55768339
Fuck, I wish more people started saying this. The others are just those base distros with minor package variations, hardly/no fucking development takes place with the minor ones
>>55768390 gentoo is invited in the fellowship, but it can't be a sauron or morgoth

then i got pic related.

>>55768479
Using the same package format doesn't mean the distros are the same.
Ubuntu and Debian are much, much more alike than Fedora and OpenSuse.

>>55768067
tmux

It looks sexier and GNU software is generally bloated.

Sorry, I meant LXLE. My bad for not noticing a typo. I didn't mean to spread misinformation.
>There is nothing Korora can do to make it "friendlier". The same applies to Elementary Os.
Besides coming with pre-configured settings, drivers, and applications for everyday users (or something familiar in ElementaryOS's case). Korora is to Fedora what Ubuntu is to Debian.
>It's like you heard someone mention those things and are now recommending them without actually looking into it yourself.
I have tried LXLE, Korora, and ElementaryOS; as well as Debian, the various versions of Ubuntu, and Fedora. I recommended them based on personal experience and the context of the question. I think these distros are perfect for people who aren't very technology literate. They maximize simplicity and intuitiveness while minimizing configuration and advanced/complex features. I run Debian, myself, because it works for me.

Different distros for different purposes.

>>55768528
You can't just copy the iso onto the flash drive's filesystem, you have to write it directly using dd or unetbootin or a similar tool.

>>55768558
Yeah but Ubuntu is never going to be stopped from this point on, might as well back the winning horse (inb4 whinging about the 2015 spyware)

SUSE have taken far more than the package management from Fedora/RHL btw

>>55768614
so what do? the only computer i have access to is a win 7 with no admin permissions.

Has anyone here tried Source Mage? I'm thinking of trying it out and seeing if it's better than Gentoo.

How can I remove all the Antergos branding from Antergos so nobody can ever tell that it's Antergos?

Is there a brain-dead Arch Linux installer that isn't Antergos?

use a computer that has admin permissions and use a program called win32diskimager to write the ISO properly

You people need to be careful with your memes; too many kids come here and see INSTALL GENTOO and ARCH IS IMPOSSIBLE TO INSTALL and internalize it.

The point of installing Arch is to have a small base system and pacman+AUR's sexiness.

>>55768710

I'll give arch a chance if you tell me how to have an arch system without pulseaudio. I want it completely purged. I don't even want it on the so called "base system"

>>55768843
see >>55768876

A Debian netinstall would be actually lightweight.

>>55768879
What's your problem with pulse? It's useful.

>>55768879
What are you talking about? Arch has no traces of pulse unless you explicitly install it.

I started the Debian bug reporter on xfce for the first time yesterday and during setup it asked me to confirm a mail address that looked like username-hostname.home, only with a very old username I changed years ago. Where could that name still be stored? I thought I erased it from my account completely.

nearly lost all programs after executing sudo apt-get remove libssl1.0.0 libssl-dev

any way to revert?

>>55768914
I have a better question for you. Why should I tell you my reasons? Either way you don't actually care. do you?

>>55768613

>Besides coming with pre-configured settings
So do other distributions. I seriously doubt Korora patches every package to change the defaults.

>drivers
So does Fedora and every other distribution which doesn't restrict itself to free software only.

>and applications for everyday users
So do other distributions. Windows doesn't do that and it's "user friendly".

>Korora is to Fedora what Ubuntu is to Debian.
No, it's not. All Korora does is install software from Fedora's repositories and apply a different theme and wallpaper.

>I think these distros are perfect for people who aren't very technology literate.
If you think that you need to be more technology literate to use Ubuntu than Korora then you're an idiot.

>They maximize simplicity and intuitiveness while minimizing configuration and advanced/complex features.
So do most of the handful of core distributions.

>Different distros for different themes/wallpapers
ftfy

>>55768919
You sure?

>>55768996

You're advanced enough not to need Pulseaudio, but you don't know how to not-install it? You need someone to spoonfeed you an answer, but you're such an advanced computer user who can't do some simple research for himself?

>>55769623
No.

On a more helpful note, my personal experience with every piece of software I have ever found worthwhile was: "It's is shit at the beginning. Configuring it to your liking as you go makes it not shit over time, sometimes even good."
So asking which default distro/software/anything is "the best" is like asking "Which collection of shit of which I will throw out 30-90% anyway is the one true solution to all my problems?"

>>55769623
If you never tried Linux before, go with one of the big pre-configured distro such as Ubuntu, Mint, or Fedora.

I'm using a keyboard layout on which {, [, ] and } are a bit troublesome to input - at least when I want to program a bit faster. Can I make it so that certain key combinations, such as ALT+<, input these characters?

I use arch, and it's not very comfy but it works. bspwm + emacs. also dmenu is really nice.

Upgrades are a simple

and you don't have to worry about anything happening unless you tell it to.

>>55772792
depends on your editor/IDE but in most cases that should be possible

>>55772804
I was actually wondering if you could configure it in Xorg. I didn't think about the IDE's settings, that might be worth checking out.

>>55775474
It's not just the kernel too. The base system is pretty packed, and when downloading things all optional dependencies are generally included, programs are compiled with all options, and dev headers b left in yo. Which only makes sense for people that actually use the ABS often

you guys are seeding your distro of choice at this exact moment right?

Is Fedora bloated? Should I go with a lightweight Ubuntu?

hello fellow linuxers

i installed Ubuntu alongside windows like a year ago and havent used it since
should i replace it with another linux operating system? somethign that "just works" fer gaming and doesn't require long searches on google to fix every problem

Also how can i translate windows mouse sensitivity to linux sensitivity?
if i enable raw input on linux games its still not the same than in windows games

>>55775608
>using linux for games
probably don't bother, unless you really really want to play super tux racer, you're gonna have a better experience on windows

>>55775622
i used to play many linux games like GLTron and Urban Terror
there are actually quite a lot of linux games now right? whats the problem with that?
also a lot of windows games used to work on wine

>>55775622
>>55775639
i've played the older hitman games on linux without any problems. Anything new would probably be a bad idea.

How to list dirs? ls -d does nothing

>>55775606
You can install a lighter fedora too, it comes in spins. And then you're free from canonical's bullshit, and can now drown in redhat's bullshit.

>>55775639
A lot of games do work, but you're not going to get any better of an experience on Linux than you would on Windows.

>>55775594
I'm seeding both Macross Frontier movies.

check out opensuse

I want to watch BBC iplayer for the olympics because my country has shitty coverage

how should I do it

set up vpn on VPS
set up http proxy on VPS
a simple ssh socks proxy i.e ssh -D PORT USER@HOST for a vps
download directly to server and sftp to my computer
mount my haddrive from server
some better option?

I'll be using proxied AdobeHDS, get_iplayer or youtube-dl to do the downloading

how do I find a good VPS in britland? ovh?

>>55775935
would say socks proxy, if you wanted live but you would have to use chrom* for their flash since i think iplayer is still using that, and thus your real ip might leak.

can you use youtube-dl with it anyhow? didn't know you could do that.

digitalocean has some vpses in britland, but haven't checked if they work myself. but plenty of providers in that, would say check lowendbox

anyone know how i can get bootmessages on systemd?
i miss the old sysV init boot messages that told you what services and daemons started and the status while booting.

Is it possible to fully program with c# on Linux?

>>55776173
systemlevel? no
applications sure.
mono is decent. however .net is going open source including c#. so if you wait a bit it might be better to do things then.
if you want to do it now just install mono and monodevelop or a mono plugin for your editor/ide of choice.

>>55775704
>but you're not going to get any better of an experience on Linux than you would on Windows.
You'd be surprised what WINE can make up (even slightly more FPS than on Windows). People just don't try it or forget to use winetricks.
The only reason why gaming can be problematic is the lack of drivers for several GPUs; performance can be even better.

Ahoy, m8s.

Today I come before you seeking knowledge.

I currently have a RPi running Kodi and qBittorrent-nox.
I want to add BoZoN (private Dropbox sort of thing) to it.

After doing this I'd have three sites within the Pi.

Kodi (remote control + Netflix-ish interface)

localhost:3165

qBittorent-nox (controlling the torrents)

localhost:8080

BoZoN (no need to explain this)

localhost:XXXX

Now, I obviously want to access at least BoZoN from outside my network, and for this I want to create a homepage that redirects to the other 'subdomains' (problem is they aren't subdomains!).

How can I do this redirection?

How would I go from

www.mysite.com/index.html

to

www.mysite.com/bozon.?

>>55776210
enginx
https://www.nginx.com/

>>55776225
Isn't that a simple alternative to apache?

I can create a website just fine, it's the redirecting that confuses me.

>can you use youtube-dl with it anyhow?
I'm not sure

and I'm not sure if get_iplayer supports HDS yet

I've tested AdobeHDS with the iplayer 720p live channel using a public http proxy under --fproxy + --proxy and it werks

I don't need a browser, infact I just save it to disc and then watch it in mpv

>>55776251
well thats what you want basically.
a reverse proxy.
you want boon to show up as raspiserver.com/bozon instead of its its own port right?
nginx does exactly that.
read into the docs and how to configure it.

>>55776278
Oh, okay, great!

That's exactly what I'm looking for.

>>55776276
sounds good then anon, might check it out myself

>>55765993
are you implying RMS and linus are gay for eachother?

>>55776344
hds link detector might be useful

>>55776210
nginx

in the config for mysite.com:

location /bozon {
proxy_pass http://localhost:XXXX
}

>>55776356
we'll see, nbc typically does decent olympics streaming so i could just use their site.

but usually have to boot up my windows partition to get the legit streaming sites to work.

>>55772452

I'm pretty sure that's not a font, but an alias. Do "fc-match misc-list" to see which font is actually used for that.

>>55776413

>>55776511
yeah i have cable, just so hard to get it to even work on chrome on linux.

remove quiet from your kernel line in your bootloader

I installed Win7 then 10 then Ubuntu. Grub points to the Win10 bootloader, which I'm supposed to use to boot 7. This takes ages and restarts the computer and I have to pick the bootloader, and it's just a pain.
Allegedly if you remove the boot flag from the first Windows install, the second one will ignore it and they'll each get their own bootloader. Is there any way to give each of my current windows partitions their own bootloader so they'll show up in grub so I can boot them from there?
Would making he W10 partition not bootable, reinstalling 7 and then fixing grub do it? I don't want to reinstall the others.
Soz if it's not linuxy enough.

I just got arch up and running, but in order to connect to wifi I had to borrow my brother's wireless card. The one I have isn't supported natively like his is, and I can't get ndiswrapper working. My question is, can anyone recommend a wifi card I can buy which is supported by Arch natively and supports at least 802.11n? If it doesn't support 802.11n that's okay-ish, but I definitely would rather native support for flexibility in the future.

In the end if I lurked /fglt/ enough, the recommendations are :

>just werk distributions
fedora, open suse
>werk distributions + some tweaks (source.list, installation of proprietary drivers eventually)
Debian
>you know what you're doing
archlinux, gentoo
>you want to go deeper
LFS

And for those that are aware of the differences between distributions, they can use whatever they want, like funtoo, void, mint or whatever.

If I used the wrong CFLAGS on my gentoo install, should I just update my make.conf and recompile my software or should I fresh install with the new make.conf?

Really newbie question. I deleted a bunch of files from the Thunar interface and I went to restore them and I recieved a warning about not having enough space after a while. If restoring is just moving the files from the trash to the original folder, why would it require any extra space and why is it slower then deleting the files? Should I just use mv to get the work done?

How does the Xonar DGX work on linux? Is it good? This shit almost requires unofficial drivers on Windows and doesn't work on hackfraudintosh

My Server is x64 while I'm trying to run a x32 program (SteamCmd, dedicated server for a game).

Fast forward, after installing the app from SteamCmd and trying to start it I got following error:

../lib64/ld-linux-86-64.so.2: bad ELF interpreter

I tried to fix this by installing the x32-lib on my machine with

yum install glibc.i686

which wasn't enough so I looked more into the error msg. and found out the loader wasn't found because it was looking for /lib64/ld-linux-86-64.so.2 instead of /lib/ld-linux.so.2 which I wanted him to use (which should be the x32-lib). I tried to put a link (ln -s /lib64/etc. /lib/etc.) there but I the system then told my, that the file already exists, checking with ls -la though, the link was completely different. Anyone got an idea how I can fix this? Thanks

I'm on Debian Testing, and when I pause a video, it flashes back and forth between the current frame and a frame about a second before. I don't have anything video-related in my config file besides video-sync=display-resample. Other things on my screen seem to do the same thing during playback and when paused. It goes away if I shake the mouse for a few seconds, but that gets annoying when I want to take a quick screenshot.

This is probably a pretty dumb question and I'm aware of this, but how would I go about restarting a window manager that crashes? I use compiz window manager on Ubuntu Mate 16.04 and it crashes every once in a while with the most recent being about 5 minutes ago. It then just defaults back to the default. I can restart compiz by just typing "compiz" in the terminal, but then I have to leave that terminal open for the rest of my session which I'd really rather not do.

I usually end up restarting my computer to solve this issue, but I was just wondering if there was an easier way

Getting real tired of running Nvidia proprietary drivers. It shits itself with every kernel update despite them doing DKM modules and it's frustrating since I have to switch to integrated graphics whenever it does i to reinstall. How's AMDGPU right now with the 4.7 kernel? I'm tempted to just ditch the 970 and sideupgrade to a RX480 when the stock stabilizes. I don't even mind installing AMDGPU PRO if I can get more performance. That's their main disadvantage, but if it can handle console emulation and some games at decent fps, then I might just do it.

>>55784694
4.6 works fine (real good actually) with amdgpu, 4.7 had regressions last time I looked, but it may be fixed already.

>>55784790
I've seen phoronix benches and they're still plenty behind, but not so much that I wouldn't mind switching for some games. I'd like to know how it fares with other things. For example, I have to use metamode options on the xorg.conf since tearing is a big issue on xfce. Compton used to be fine, but it started shitting itself when the proprietary drivers slipped in. How it fares on emulators, will I have to use AMDGPU PRO for them? General things like that.

>>55784913
What do you emulate? Pokemans runs fine at least. I play a few games. Windward for example (UE4) runs on max fps on ultra 1080p with my 390.
This is on 4.6 though and because of the weird optimization of the game it shits itself in multiplayer with a lot of particles. But that's a game issue, not a driver one.
