Stallman uses hardware which is cast using proprietary design software and mould designs. He also utilizes aeroplanes and ships which are designed using proprietary software and use proprietary software to function. He also listens to music which was record, mixed and mastered using proprietary software.

I highly doubt that. Have you heard him sing?

>>55825180
stallman is not a philosophically pure person. he follows his ideals when convenient, and ignores them or slightly alters them when the conflict isn't worth it.

stallman is an egoist in denial, afraid of admitting that he just wants some fucking source code instead of a world where he has to rely on other people because he knows he wouldn't get it that way.

his system has some practical merits but his attempts at creating moral justifications are completely pathetic and nonsensical. how low do you have to be to have to make up bullshit "oughts" when you can just say "it would be fucking better"?

Mint is a good transition. I would recommend Ubuntu for starting out, since there's a fuckton of support and is very Google-friendly and retard-friendly. There's value in "just using what everyone else uses" as far as support goes.

>>55825652

Either use gnome-tweak-tool, or use the terminal:

Example:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface font-name 'myfont'
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface monospace-font-name 'myfont'
gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.desktop font 'myfont'

Also run these to know which font you need to change:

gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface document-font-name
gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface font-name
gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface monospace-font-name
gsettings get org.gnome.nautilus.desktop font

The thought of Windows 10 is giving me cancer so I feel like I should try out linux. I've never before used or even seen linux (besides images) so I would have no idea what the fuck I was doing. Linux is attractive to me, not just as an alternative to winblows, but also mostly due to its potential customization and all the animu screenshots I've seen of linux desktops (feel free to call me a faggot). It just looks a lot cleaner.

I'm assuming option 0 in the OP is the best idea here, but I need recommendations of what distro I should try.

So I just started getting into Linux the past couple weeks, why is there such a heated debate for and against systemD?

>>55826276
Ubuntu is derived from Debian with a focus on user-friendliness and targets Windows refugees
Debian *usually* focuses on stabillity over configurability.
Fedora means you just want something to match your hat but conflictingly would never download CP

>>55826289
What are the NOTICEABLE differences between them? Having more or less "freedom" doesn't really make sense to me.

>>55826299
Because it's taking over Arch and people need to lash out

>>55826302
What do you mean by "conflictingly would never download CP"? Does that imply less security somehow?

>>55826335
this guy thinks so
>>55826054

>>55826304
Debian comes with a deblobbed kernel and by default no proprietary packages (you can enable that tho)

Fedora comes with no proprietary packages but supports nonfree drivers, so your hardware works out of the box

Ubuntu doesn't care about any free/nonfree stuff, most hardware is supported by default.

>>55826335
it's a testbed for their corporate versions
why wouldn't they want to snag every usage statistic they could?

>>55826302
>stabillity over configurability
wat

>>55826349
>deblobbed kernel
I'm gay so that's gibberish to me.

Also, why wouldn't all distros support your hardware? If a distro doesn't support your hardware, I'm assuming there's some strange way to fix that?

>>55826374
poor configurability for end-users like the guy who asked the question. Documentation is too dense for most.
Not that that's a bad thing.
Let's not get another arch vs debian flamewar going

>>55826375
- A kernel blob is binary code in the kernel's source code. Nobody really knows what it does.

- If there are free drivers for your hardware available, you don't need the proprietary "hardware support".

>>55826254
>Manjaro i3
My nigga

Is Red Hat Cert Admin worth getting?

If I successfully deploy a distro in a VM does that guarantee I'll have no problems on hardware? VMs use "virtual" hardware, right?

>>55826375
Some distros don't include certain drivers and kernel features for religious reasons. If something's not supported out of the box, you can usually fix it but with comparable hassle to searching for Windows drivers.

>>55826416
>does that guarantee I'll have no problems on hardware?
Absolutely not.

>>55826416
No guarantee. Try it with a Live USB first.

>>55826407
It would be useful if your company of choice depends on redhat.
Otherwise wouldn't seriously impress anyone.
How much does it cost anyway?

>>55826399
I would add though that if you're not going to do anything outside of messing with your DE's settings, Debian is a perfectly fine distro.

No, but I thought most non-retarded windows users knew how to partition/change firmware settings/install operating systems despite never using Linux.
Is this a false assumption nowadays?
I was pirating windows and swapping out HDDs when I was like 10. Maybe that's just poorfags, though........

>Is this a false assumption nowadays?
Yes. You'd be appalled if you saw the actual ratio of retarded to non-retarded windows users.

>>55826451
Don't do anything stupid like spamming the next button with mouseclicks or setting up mountpoints that you don't understand on partitions you don't know the contents of and you'll be fine. And you can always pop out the CMOS battery if you fuck up your firmware settings.

>>55826453
Linux isn't that simple, though. Ideally I want to build my own system but I don't want to spend hundreds of hours fixing shit that's already been fixed on the "newb" distros.

>>55826453
>>Is this a false assumption nowadays?
Have you been outside this thread the last months?

>>55826479
You have to fix things on newb distros sometimes too.
Usually something like a wireless card that doesn't work out of box. So it would almost be easier to just do it from scratch than remove kernel modules just to load the correct ones.

Just go with Arch, it's way friendlier and easier than people say/assume. Most people find it less complex than debian, even [honest] arch users.

Then do Gentoo and configure your Kernel to your hardware.

Don't do Arch, Arch is memes.

What's so complicated about Debian?

>>55826628
This.

All distros are configurable in the same ways.

>>55826613
I'd rather not have to compile everything. I was considering hopping on the Void Linux meme train but the documentation is a bit lacking.

>>55826628
Not that much (besides documentation to a certain degree).
I'll give you that the install is more effort on Arch, but it's also very simple and straightforward.
Keep it simple, stupid is the arch motto.
And yes, simple means no default DE/WM forced upon you, and chrooting is way less complicated than writing a GUI installer if you think about the amount of code involved.

Then do Gentoo and configure your Kernel to your hardware. Don't do Arch is memes.

I have a fresh install of Arch on mom's laptop and I need to choose a DE for her use.

Now i want a lightweight desktop installed cause the laptop is pretty bad but i cannot find one that can be see clearly.

One of her eyes is bad.


Now I think GNOME 3 would be a great choice but that is resource heavy. Correct me if i wrong.

Can LXDE or XFCE be a good choice?

>>55827195
Are you implying using Gentoo is somehow "professional"? Because nothing could be farther from the truth.

Give XFCE a shot. GNOME 3 is a hog, and probably rapes young children.

Gentoo is very professional. It's just not as conventional. People like you just don't understand the true power of Portage. Maybe one day you'll become enlightened.

>>55827278
You clearly have no idea what "professional" means. No sane admin would put Gentoo into a production environment, and no sane luser would use it as a workstation.

>>55827298
I'm a developer and I use Gentoo and I know a lot of system admins who also use Gentoo. For one there's really not much downtime in updating and two with Portage you can keep the software on the server to a bare minimum. Your logic is completely backwards because compile from source ensures not just the best performance but compatibility as well. You should try harder next time.

>>55827509

This is anything but programmer-friendly...

>>55827517

I cant anon people told me I have to learn vim to be l33t like the good programmers

First things firsy, until recently (say a year ago) i was a major Win7 fag, but when I noticed the whole shitstorm with win10, I wanted to switch to Linux.
Fast forward last week I got a really old laptop that couldn't support anything better than XP, so I feel this is a chance for me to try out Linux.
Now supposing I want to get on a level on which I can start to use Arch/Debian in a year or so with KNOWING what I'm doing, what path of installs do you think I should use to get to that level? I mostly have free time on my hands and got sort of red-pilled on privacy, so whatever helps ID me the less, the better.

>>55827552
No one cares what you use.

>>55827564
Just install Arch/Debian and start using it.

>>55827574

But I do anon I do, and I want to enjoy this but I just want a proper config for vim, want to link me your .vimrc meme anon?

what would be the safest way of making a server you can ssh into and have password authentication set to on? asking for a friend.

assuming it would be something like having fail2ban, changing the port, maybe setting up iptables? probably banning all chinko and pinko ips too?

>>55827564
Why don't you just install whatever the fuck you want and start using it? Arch and Debian are just distros, nothing more.

>>55827610
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-cc-developers/neonr

>>55827620
Why bother? Just use keys and avoid the trouble.

Tell your "friend" he's a retarded sack of menopause.

>>55827588
good advice.
but you might be more excited to configure after the arch install.
debian doesn't break as often for newbies.

>>55827620
aws has free tier ubuntu. ssh is set up for you by default, without plaintext auth, just need a .pem rsa key.

Then you can limit access to ssh port in the security group for your particular IP or a reasonable subnet.

Of course, then you have amazon watching all your traffic, so your "friend" won't be able to host his CP website.

>>55827633
>but you might be more excited to configure after the arch install
I think you're talking out of your ass.

>>55827662
problem isn't getting a server, just the password auth bit.

but what's the catch on aws' free server? thought it was something like only available for one year, or something like that? didn't look into it much.

>>55827729
Geez man you'd better wash your hands after pulling so much out of your ass.

So I have ddclient to update my IP on a home sever, but for some reason after some period of time ddclient just stops running, I have it set to run as a daemon in the settings and when I restart the server and open htop I can see it running, then maybe a few weeks later, it just stops and I only notice because I can no longer access the web front end for my site. Anyone know what might be causing this to happen? Worst case scenario is I just forcibly use cron to restart it once ever 24 hours in addition to it updating every 300 seconds.

>>55828466

No, that's not a good idea. Downtime is bad, and what if the server fails to start and you're asleep?
When you start the daemon do you use the -syslog flag?

Arch with a graphical installer and a forced DE is totally against the arch way.

I swear to god it's so easy to install arch, just follow a guide your first time. Otherwise you will be totally inept at caring for your system.

I didn't really go with antergos because I thought the arch install was too difficult, but I know a friend that uses antergos and he recommended it to me as well.
