Is there any way to check if Arch will play nice with my wifi card before I nuke my hard drive for it? It's my only way to internet, so I don't want to be stuck without it after installation.

W10 user, i wanna try out some sort of Linux as a dualboot option, friendo recommended me Ubuntu Gnome, opinions?

Mainly just interested in trying it out, also want a sleek user friendly Distro that i could start with and possibly be comfortable with, main use would be browsing web, watching Twitch, playing games.

>>55918913
/flgt/ is why /g/ exists.
Sad it needs insulation from all the cancer.

I want to share that a simple config file in /etc/modprobe.d/alsabase.conf with the correct order of devices was all needed to make everything output to the correct device, you can purge pulseaudio from your machine now. Just make sure you erase asound.conf in etc and any .asounrc in your home if you want to go full ALSA.

Buntu gnome is an okay first distro. Check out (also on windows, not just here) using mpv with youtube-dl through a firefox plugin called "open with", you can tight click open your twitch thingy and have it on any workspace you want.

I posted this in the old one, sadly the solution to get metacity didnt quite helped.

I got ubuntu a few month ago and a buddy installed compiz or something and said its kinda cool. Nothing happend and I didnt bother deinstalling. Well yesterday I uninstalled it and now I have nothing. There is only my desktop background. I can get to the terminal but I am too ubuntu-illiterate to do shit.
I hope someone knows what problem i am facing. I cant even get chromium running.

>>55919279
Ive done similarly with vlc, thanks.

Why do I get worse signal quality for my WLAN device on a Linux distribution compared to Windows? Of course there could be a different signal reporting ratio between them, but some things like video-chatting work better on Windows from the same spot in the house.
I'm using Intel's hardware, so I suppose the driver support should be top-notch.

su and root's password

on Debian you'll probably have to enable non-free repos and install the right firmware

You do know pulse was lobbied by Red Hat even when it was buggy, right?

Corporations have power even in the open source world, sad but true.

>>55920447

CLI != TUI

>>55920445
then I'd go for Audacious, assuming you have a big collection

You are right, but people know more the term CLI. But again, you are right, I might reference it as TUI from now on.

>>55920468
>without a DE
yes. without a WM? no
but there are WMs that do "one window, full screen"
What I'd do though is install OpenBox and configure it to open your window full screen.

I'm trying to get some bash stuff going here (newbie)

This is my script:

if [ "$IP" = 77.38.* ];
then
        echo "Inside if"
        wget http://ipinfo.io/ip -qO - > ip.txt
fi

(basically, if my my external IP starts with 77.38. it should log it to ip.txt)

But it seems that I have no idea how to do wildcards in bash

What do I need to change to get this running?

I though bash was the de facto shell for scripts on Linux?

>>55919984
You are a complete retard. I hope you'll stop using linux and stay on windows 10 for the rest of your life.

Is Manjaro Linux better than Ubuntu? I think it looks better at least.

Which Linux distribution truly respects my freedom?

>>55920633
Bash is the de facto for script kiddies and hipsters.
There are a lot of shells and not every system has bash installed. Furthermore, bash is very old and large so it suffers from security issues (Shellshock for example).
You should learn portable shell-scripting (i.e. POSIX) even if it is annoying at times. For example, you're not allowed to use arrays. But the problem-solving in that is fun as well.

fact is that not everyone uses bash, like BSD or distros like Alpine Linux. POSIX exists for a reason

Of course
1. Connect your android phone
2. Enable wifi, enable usb tethering
3. $ ip link
4. You will see a number of network interfaces like enpXYZ
5. Select one and try each like:
#dhcpcd enpXYZ1 or #dhclient enpXYZ1
6. To check if you are connected:
$ping -c 3 www.4chan.org
7. If the host is not found go back to 3

Alright, the things I selected when I installed was "Print server" as it was selected by default, and I couldn't really find any infomation on what it was. However, I don't use SSH

During the install I didn't select a DE. Only Print Server and System utilites.

how can I boot arch from a hard disk partition? usbs and cds are out of the question

>>55923225
Make a partition on your hard drive and treat it like you would removable media, dd etc, then reboot and boot from that partition.

You can even install a distribution from an existing distribution (Gentoo at least), but you never see it discussed, although I find it easier.

OpenSuse really did a god work with KDE.
Why can't other distros do the same?

Is Linux better for Python than Windows?

>>55923609
I am sorry for being such a pleb.
But if I don't use SSH, do I need to install the SSH server during DE selection?
Same question for web server and print server.

What I've selected so far is.
> Debian desktop environment
> GNOME
> Xfce
> KDE
> Cinnamon
> MATE
> LXDE
> web server
> print server (selected as I am going to use printers?)
> SSH server (selected, but should i take it off if I dont use SSH?)
> Standard system utilities (selected)

>>55923822
No you don't need the server stuff if you don't want it but SSH is pretty neat.
Why are you installing every single desktop environment?

>>55923810
Yes.

>>55923846
I am not, sorry if I made it look confusing, my formatting is shit.

Only things I have selected is the ones I've put in (selected)

But would I still be able to print shit if I unselected Print Server?

>>55923822
You can safely uncheck them. Enjoy your 6 desktop environments.

>>55923868
It doesn't hurt to have the print server utilities installed so might as well leave it selected.

>>55923886
Alright, all I've selected now is
> print server
> SSH server
> standard system utilities

Looks goods? Or anything else I should consider, like web server?

kek, once one justice officer arrived at my door and said she would enter, without the adequate documents of the judge. I quoted a Windows error message, like "Error: justice_officer.exe executed an illegal operation and will be closed.", and prepared to turn away and close the door. She began to be REALLY pissed off... I even told the policemen that were guarding her, to arrest her. When I quoted the constitution about the procedure of entering one's house, then she "discovered" that the judge documents were in her folder!!

>>55924928
From the top of my head I can think of amarok, banshee, clementine, tomahawk, guayawhatever, yarock, lollypop, rhythmbox, nightingale and quod libet.

They all did the same basic thing, which was playing music. The playing part was not the problem, it was the organizing one. None was good enough for my needs. This is not a fault of linux itself, so I don't see why you take the offensive.

>I dont need artwork or pointless wastful metadata.

I'm using an intel fake raid array with two disks. How do I get mdadm to load and create a block device for that raid array (md126 usually) BEFORE my bootloader attempts to mount it as the root partition? It's hooking into udev and then instantly trying to mount which obviously fails since it doesnt even know there's a raid array yet.

Should I use guile, racket, gcl, clisp, chicken, or sbcl for writing Linux apps?

is docker a fucking meme?

>>55925554
yes

SUSE Studio is something to look into if you want a cleaner DE?

Do not dual boot your main desktop. It's fun to fuck around with, but not worth it in the end. If you have an old laptop lying around, use that. Personally I like Manjaro because it's faster than w10 on my laptop, and it's not overly complex. I primarily use it to write notes while reading.

Hi guys so I need a little bit of help.

How do I set up encryption and when I boot my computer I have to enter a pashprase to decrypt and then boot. I have no experience with dm-crypt or LUKS

>>55928154
it doesn't quite work that way, you have to shut it down anyway and it's not 100% portable, you're probably going to run into issues

flash drives aren't made for hosting an OS - lots of small file operations etc. ; if you absolutely have to, get an external SSD, be aware that even with usb 3.0 it will be considerably slower than SATA

for work it's easier to have a file server and, if needed, remote desktop (VNC)

however as a backup OS for fixing stuff it's a perfectly viable solution

Honestly your best bet would be using a distro that does that for you in the installer.
Debian comes to mind.
