How do I automount an external HDD without slowing down my boot time in Arch?

Summer edition.

>>55792033
install usbmount

When I install linnicks on an SSD do I need to do any configuring to make sure the OS treats the SSD properly (like in terms of write behaviour etc) or is it ok to install and forget?

>>55792033
why would that affect your boot time?

>>55792044
>falling for the SSD meme
Enjoy your toasted storage

>>55792041
no configuration or execution necessary?

>>55792062
because it takes a few seconds for the drive to spin up and adding a line to fstab requires a timeout if the drive isn't plugged in

>>55792090
Nope, that's what I use for my server. It makes a number of folders in /media and external drive will automatically be mounted in it

>>55792106
it's an NTFS drive.
I probably need to add something to the config, right?

I'm thinking about buying an Asus VivoBook E403SA as a secondary computer. How well does this laptop work with Linux? I Googled it and I didn't really get any solid answers.

Also, would Cinnamon be a sufficiently lightweight DE for this laptop?

I've been running Debian on my Lenovo X1 Carbon for quite some time now, and I was thinking about switching it up for either Arch or Gentoo. Any recommendations or arguments for why I should use one over the other?

And if I were to use Arch, I don't think I'd be capable of installing it without a guide without fucking something up somehow. Are there any good guides out there?

>>55792144
No, don't use a DE, get an asynchronous wm.

Hey, I'm a retard and english is not my firts language so please excuse my questions and writing.

If I install a, let's say popular Linux distribution since I haven't chose yet (probably Ubuntu?) on a SSD with W10, will it automatically be a dual boot or do I need to do something?

Also, is there any distribution that's more user/compatibility friendly than Ubuntu?

>>55792133
Not sure myself, I only used it with ext4

So lets say I ssh'd into my server how do I copy a file from my pc to the server?

>>55792133
If you hop between Windows and Linux often, windows does some closed source magic to drives it accesses and breaks it for Linux systems. Running a command called ntfsfix as sudo will fix this if you are having trouble accessing the drive

To automount it, you need to add it to fstab.

sudo myfavoritetexteditor /etc/fstab

Might take a minute to get it configured right, the wiki page can help a lot with that. It's pretty simple, you just add one line and some modifiers.

>>55792156
Dual booting on a single drive is finicky and shitty. if you decide to go that route, be prepared to lose access to your windows partition. Best bet would be to just install it to another drive.

>>55792146
Great idea. Both are highly configurable.
See this article for an honest explanation of the differences between gentoo and arch:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/arch_compared_to_other_distributions

Obviously compiling from source gives you more configuration and control but is potentially more error prone.
I'm thinking of switching from Arch to Gentoo but not seriously considering it quite yet.

>>55792171
Okay, I was just worried about waiting for the external to spin up during boot, but worst case is like 6 seconds and I can probably tolerate it. I rarely use the windows side of the dual boot, but it is there. It's been about 2 months since I booted into windows to play GTA5.

>>55792203
and even then I don't use the external drive or write to it. just an internal hdd that I have massive game installations on. Probably should have made it ext4 but it's a little late.

>>55792187
Hm ok. Yeah probably. Except I have a old motherboard and already filled all my spots for hard drives. I could maybe try to erase/transfer one somewhere and use it to install Linux.
But in this case, I only have one SSD, and Windows is already on it.

tl;dr : will installing Linux to a non-SSD hard drive be a big mistake, or will it still run ok?

>>55792187
>>55792221
I have my windows shit on a seperate drive, but I've definitely done them on the same drive without problems, except for the annoyance of grub when I suddenly want to switch defaults. It just takes a few extra seconds to reset the default OS but I get really lazy. I've never lost an OS due to dual booting but I'm pretty cautious.

>>55792221
Personally I wouldn't install an OS to a non SSD. If that meant I had to either forsake a data drive for another SSD or get a pcie sata hub so be it.

That's just me. To answer your question yeah no you'd probably be fine.

Use your file manager

looking for a nice C proyect /g/ (not a game or any school thing)

>>55792221
Not a big difference at all, as long as it's 7200rpm.

>>55792245
>>55792170
No, don't use a file manager.
scp is the file copying equivalent to ssh.
Secure shell -> secure copy.

scp [source file] [destination]
example:
scp ~/explicit_CP.file [email protected]:~/destination_dir

>>55792248
Write a network multiplexer/demultiplexer or write your own find tool that crawls the filesystem. very fun.

>>55792156
You need to install a bootloader as well. Most (all?) distribution's installers have an option to install a bootloader. The most popular bootloader boxed with common GNU/Linux distributions (including Ubuntu) is GRUB.

Are there any downsides to using an installer like Architect for Arch Linux?

>>55792271
>No, don't use a file manager.
Why not?

>>55792305
The only downside is if you tell people on /g/ that you did, some elitists may insult you.

>>55792305
Yes you've chosen a build-it-yourself distro and asked it to build-it-itself. it is inherently wrong and will not leave you in good shape to care for your system. How do you know if there is a separate boot or home partition? maybe thats part of the install, but you don't get the fun of playing with fstab and literally only ever installing the packages that you have asked to install.

>>55792319
1) because you don't need to
2) He's ssh'ing into the server, why would it be viewable from the file manager?
3) file managers are a last resort

>>55792305
just use antergos and change the os-release to arch like i do

>>55792353
nice bloated DE (unless you switched post-install, which begs the question, why use antergos?)

>>55792350
Because FMs are faster to use?

>>55792378

I was planning on migrating to ubuntu since I've never used a Linux before.

However, to program I have always used an IDE.

How do you guys program in Linux? Straight up in the terminal?

vim or emacs

Don't ask for suggestions on which to use, just try them both and pick for yourself.

>>55792506
I love me some vi/vim but it's not like there aren't IDEs in Linux. Eclipse still exists lol

>>55792506
You can use Eclipse.

>>55792521

So your argument is that it takes more time to press tab than to visually locate the correct folder name in each directory and double click it? Not sure that this is true, sir.

>>55792221
Me again.
Thanks for all the answers.

So what will happen if I install Linux on another hard drive? Will it automatically create a sort of dual boot screen and let me chose the OS, or do I imperatively need to install Grub like someone suggested?

>>55792555
There is an option in your BIOS/Firmware settings to set drive precedence upon boot.
You'll still want grub on the drive you select as priority.

I'm sure most every file manager has a field where you can type in the file path. Keep going on with your autistic fear of GUIs though. It's pretty entertaining.

>>55792545
It takes less time than press tab and choose from 10 dirs each time. FMs have search hotkey. Also you can pick the file accurately with FM

>>55792544

>>55792569

After a bit of reading and seeing just how fucked Windows 10 is, I'm looking to move to Linux more than part time.I found that there is a native version of handbrake , makeMKV, and even fucking steam has a decent selection of games. I'm currently installing Metro:Last Light from my library. (didn't even know it was compatible).

Knowing this, the only game I would still go to windows for is Dark Souls and WoW. (Which I heard works in Wine?).

So basically I'm asking, how is overall performance in Linux?

What's your guys take on Manjaro/Antergos as a beginner OS?
I want to give Arch a try since I'm falling for the "arch is best" meme, and hate my current OS of Ubuntu, though I'm not confident enough in myself to just install it the normal way.

>>55792729
I thought it was the other way around?

This shitposting is too tough to keep track of. I should've used a CLI browser instead of bloated, convoluted Firefox...

>>55792721
I have a few GUI applications that I like to generate config files and such. No shame in saving a few minutes when it really makes a difference, unlike file managers which waste time unless the user can't type fast enough.

>>55792736

I play Dark Souls all the time in Wine; it works great.

>>55792861
it's been a very long time since I had occasion to want to change a motherboard without reinstalling the operating system. Like, over ten years. I remember it severely fucking up Windows back then, and it makes logical sense that an OS would be screwed up in strange ways by that sort of thing. I didn't know if that's a general rule that's still the case.

>>55792894
>I remember it severely fucking up Windows
lel

>>55792894
unless you're changing disk drives/locations I don't see anything changing. The mobo firmware will be reset when the CMOS battery dies. So if you had a non-default priority set it would change but should still be fine if you leave it in.

>>55792894
Windows gets fucked up because the installed drivers don't match the motherboard anymore. You wouldn't have that problem with Linux.
It still can fuck things up though, you probably have to fix your udev rules.

>>55792924

WOW is having serious issues in Wine since the legion update. Just a warning.

How do you know someone is running Arch/derivative of it?

Don't worry, they'll make sure you know.

I'm currently trying to chose my first distro coming from Windows, and I can't decide between Mint and Elementary. People say Mint has more possibilities or something like that?
What exactly, and do I ever need to care as a normalfag user? (browsing, games, a bit of computer music maybe)

>>55793048

I mean I use arch and I don't constantly tell people.

Hey everyone I've been on Windows all my life but have recently installed Slackware on virtualbox after following a tutorial. I just want to know if there's any beginners resources for me to work my way around the system? Btw, I'm planning to use it to code in starting with SICP+Scheme then moving on to assembly if that matters

>>55793036
>>55793015
Honestly, I hate virtualizing and emulating. Wine has been disastrously bad in my experience, just trying to run firefox with flash for xfinity (FUCK COMCAST PIECES OF SHIT). Constantly crashing but not in consistent ways.
I still appreciate all the development they've done and it makes for a good argument against windows which I can appreciate. But I wouldn't count on it against a dual-boot. IDK I'd love to hear more opinions.

>>55792985
>End up with Systemd/linux
>could have used fedora without worrying about an excessively retarded dedication to vanilla packages

>>55793059
Don't do it, man. If you're leaning towards mint just go with ubuntu. It's not going to make a big difference and you'll have a better chance finding solutions. It's a fine beginner distro but at the same time it makes you wonder why you even bothered switching to Linux. Unity is such a resource hog.

>>55793048
I only mention it if it's necessary. I recommend Fedora to most people, because it just works. Arch is a hobbyist distro.

>>55793077
Running firefox under wine is a bad idea: Look into Pipelight instead.

Out of curiosity, why is firefox under wine a bad idea?

>>55793112

>>55793059
>as a normalfag user?
Just use a normalfaq distro then.
Stick to the big ones, they have the advantage that issues you might encounter can be solved by googling it.

Mint is way bigger than Elementary, and it's pretty close to Ubuntu LTS so Ubuntu solutions might help, too.

>When I install linnicks on an SSD do I need to do any configuring to make sure the OS treats the SSD properly (like in terms of write behaviour etc) or is it ok to install and forget?
With current SSDs you can just install and forget but usually putting /swap and /home on your hdd is a good idea. You can do that during install.

>>55792044
If you want trimming you should read up on it

>>55793145
Simply because running multiple things under wine will bring up more problems than running only the needed extensions.

Also, Firefox under wine is noticably slower than the native version.

It's not really "bad", but there is no upside to it.

>>55793715
Yup.
Both enabled and showing up in about:plugins, got two versions of shockwave flash now. One is the flashplugin from the official arch repo (v11.2), the other is v22 from pipelight.

>>55793741
Well, I've got no ideas anymore. Google says to try a User Agent overrider but I doubt that's the problem.

I noticed Linux users like to torrent a lot of stuff, what kind of stuff do you like to torrent?

>>55794003
new distro iso`s

I'm installing Linux right now and mount points are confusing me.

Could somebody tell me the difference between var, usr, home, boot, boot/efi and /?

>>55794017
I will assume you are windows refugee?
Think of / as your C: drive
now imagine that you could have c:/program fails and c:/faildos and c:/users etc as diffrent partitions

thats pretty much it

>>55794017

>>55794017
Gladly.
These could all be placed on the same partition, so really, you don't need more than a root mountpoint (/).
/var typically used for logging, package cache, web server, etc.
/usr is home to the binaries you'll be executing (/usr/bin/ls for example)
/home contains user directories (/home/username/Documents, etc.)
/boot contains the linux kernel image so you'll definitely want to make sure that shit is mounted before you upgrade your kernel.
/boot/efi only matters if you boot from UEFI (which is typical in today's world) and contains the basically the same shit
root is the absolute topmost directory, and contains all of the above mentioned directories. I'm sure a simple google search could explain the linux filesystem better, but that's my experience.

Woah friendly helpful responses for my dumb questions. Thanks mates.

So say I have an SSD I want to install the OS on and some programmes I use regularly & an HDD for everything else. I'd mount boot and root on the SSD and home on the HDD and that'd be fine?

>>55794099
You mount drives to directories, not the other way around. I have my HDD mounted in /media/HDD1 but your idea should work as well.

>>55794099
sounds good to me, home directory is usually full of shit anyway. I personally just keep my video library and music on an external and create a symbolic link in the home directory to the external HDD, but yeah mounting home to a different drive is legitimate.

>>55794099
yes, thats the most common setup

Lately I have been looking into terminal multiplexers. I tried screen and temux just because they are mostly installed by default but I haven't made up my mind yet. What are you guy's experience with these two multiplexers?

I want to install new OS on my laptop, i would like to be Arch but i don't really want to spend hours at setting shit up. Can you suggest me some os /g/?

>>55794460
Completely different, arch is not as good for customization.
I'd rather use debian than arch desu, it's easier to diy it.
But go funtoo/gentoo if you really want to make it your own.

>>55794661
arch takes ~30 minutes unless it's your first time and you really don't know what you're doing.
Ubuntu otherwise.

I was thinking about manjaro or antergos?

what do you think of this + debian+xfce

>>55794907
Trisquel + Parabola

>>55794988
install arch linux

>>55794990
Xfce would run but it would not be optimal, I would go dwm personally but you may be more used to floating windows so openbox is probably more familiar. But if it is enough for you just go with xfce.
>>55794988
Sudo aptitude remove <metapackage of your DE>
Or if you used apt-get to install it
Sudo apt-get removed <same metapackage>
If you didn't configure sudo you need to su to be root and then run that without the sudo.
