What Linux Distro do you guys use and why?

>>55999223
I use Arch but that's cause I'm just an edgy retard. Jokes aside, it's a good distro and you can get a ton out of it, but I wouldn't recommend it to beginners or anyone who isn't pretty command-line proficient. Debian (I'd recommend Testing, not Stable) and Fedora are nice places to start if it's been a while, and one of the Ubuntu flavors (Xubuntu, Kubuntu, etc) if you remember literally nothing.

I use Gentoo, but that would require a working knowledge of Linux to be able to use properly (it's not as easy as copy and pasting commands from the handbook like everyone else would want you to think). Good beginner distros are generally an Ubuntu variant or Fedora. Not much else I can rec past that other than downloading some distros and trying them out in a VM or something.

I use fedora mostly out of habit on desktop, and centos or debian for servers. Fedora/DNF has some pretty nice features, like delta-rpms(you download only files that have changed since the last update on package), pretty solid support and healthy amount of packages in repos(when you count rpmfusion too). Only downside might be shortish release cycles(the latest two versions supported, two releases per year), but if you need long term stability that's what centos and debian are for in my opinion.

May i ask why you chose unstable instead of testing? Just curious, i'm on stable right now and i don't know if i want to switch to testing.

I use kubuntu as I prefer kde over gnome and unity

My days of ricing and trying to install as few packages as possible are over, ubuntu with a fully featured desktop environment tends to just work and is still a thousand times better than windows

>>55999223
I use debian and mint on two different compooters

Manjaro because prefer Arch but it's community got taken over by desktop ricing anime autists. Will be installing Debian when I get a new laptop.

Slackware as a portable usb system. Basic maintenance and simple.

debian and a few packages of xfce

Personally, I'm a fan of arch.

Originally, I installed it through Antergos, so basically, pre-packaged/ auto installed. I like it as a system, I like the package management, etc. etc. Recently I made a new install, this time regular arch from scratch. Still entirely satisfied. Installing it, even by scratch, is surprisingly easy. It bothers me slightly that so many people think it's a meme distro, or fag distro, but it's definitely not a bad distro.

I'd say, give it a go.

>>55999259
Anyone who decides to run Linux is aware that it doesn't have major video game support.

More like "enjoy an operating system that doesn't control you or spy on you"

>>56002948
I'm given to understand Kubuntu doesn't come with the latest KDE stuff by default.

I chose it because Kubuntu kept fucking up on me in various ways, none of which have happened in Neon. That, and it looks like Neon cuts a bit of redundant stuff out, leading to a slightly leaner system. (Read: slightly).

Linux Mint KDE.

Mint has better desktops than Ubuntu, but is fully compatible with the huge Canonical repository.

KDE is a heavyweight, feature-rich, highly-configurable desktop that requires a lot of RAM.

Mint has been #1 on DistroWatch for about the past 2 years I think.

Doesn't change the fact that Linux doesn't have major video game support. I play endless hours of Minecraft on Linux, but I still can't play a majority of games, and I know that Linux is mostly an afterthought for developers.

Put yourself in the developer's shoes. If you're gonna focus on one platform, it's going to be the one with the bigger audience, so that your game has more potential to reach people and make as much money as possible.

>>55999223
I use Antergos because I'm a lazy fuck who likes arch but doesn't give enough of a fuck to set it up at this point.

This one is very well regarded in the community, and I've had flawless, exceptional experience with it.

It has many switchable panes, and a variety of functions. You can search for lyrics at the hit of a single button, you have a very powerful internal full fledged tag editor and search engine capable of locating and displaying every single thing you have based on specific tags, such as genre, artist, album, band, etc. There's a visualizer pane (What you see me using) with a handful of default modes, each looking particularly interesting.... There's a media library, etc. etc.

I mean, it's very powerful, as well as light weight and CLI based. It's definitely highly recommended.

>>56005209
It's a combination of two utilities.
mpd (music player daemon) which you configure and run in the background.
ncmpcpp (the actual interactive player you're looking at) which you run in a terminal assuming the previous daemon is active. Setting it up is also fairly simple, if you need help, you can ask. Once it's set up, it's easy as fuck. If you set the daemon to auto launch on system start up, you can just fire up ncmpcpp whenever you feel like it and use it. I've bound keyboard media keys to play/pause, and seek songs left/ right.

There's a playlist viewing pain, a directory browsing pane (Like a file manager, but for yer songs locally, mostly what I use to locate my playlists, because I use a playlist file in each of them that I hit and it adds them to the temporary active playlist)

Making one of those playlist files usually goes like this: (in the proper folder)

find . *.ext > album.m3u

>>56004937
Try DeaDBeef. It is essentially a Linux native Foobar2000.

>>56005358
So I take it you're not as interested in mpd + ncmpcpp? Shame. Anyway, if you care, I felt I should explain my command line more for you.

find . *.ext > album.m3u

Here, "find" is a command that searches for files. The period, namely, ".", means current directory, the asterisk "*" implies a wildcard, in otherwords, anything that is followed by .ext, where .ext stands for your extension, which could be anything like .flac, .mp3, etc. And album.m3u implies name of the album, and the file extension type .m3u, which makes a playlist file with every song that got picked up in *.ext. The ">" basically means output X to Y, where X is the value of *.ext, and Y is the .m3u.

Understand?

>>56005422
Honestly DeadDBeef seems more in line with what i want, but i think it would be interesting to get your player running aswell just to get more known with something different.

Use Testing because its packages typically aren't much older than Unstable (see more info here: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianTesting ), so they're less likely to have big bugs, but still very up to date.

If you somehow find that you need a newer package for whatever reason, you can always upgrade from Testing to Sid.

Well, as long as you're happy I guess. Between these two, it's a matter of CLI vs. full GUI. That's your choice. You know which one I'd prefer and suggest, but it's ultimately up to you.

I'm glad you're using GNU/Linux. If you need any help with something, please first consult the man pages by

man command

or

man program

. If you still don't have your answer, search the web and then you can feel free to ask any of us.

>>56005519
I usually play my playlists as albums, and so I have a playlist file in those directories and just add that, then clear the playlist when I'm done (literally C for clear, and Y for yes). But like I showed you, you have a powerful tag editor and the ability to search by tag, then add anything you want manually. You can however make playlists from inside the player irrelevant to those files I told you I make. Again, with any song you want. You can manually add individual songs to the current playlist (The active playlist), and then save those into a bookmarked playlist, and run that whenever you want. I've done that in the past.

>>56005734
So you're using Openbox? Well you need to open up rc.xml in

~/.config/openbox

once you do that, you can go near the bottom of the file and add a line like such

    <application name="terminal_emulator_here">
      <decor>no</decor>
    </application>

This should automatically disable the titlebar on the given application (after refreshing/ relaunching openbox), and you should be able to use W-a (super+a) to toggle fullscreen on/ off for the focused window. Moving is easy, try holding alt and left clicking anywhere in the given application, then simply dragging it. Alternatively W-arrows (super + directional arrows) for basic shifts.

Yeah, sorry buddy, but a FOSS license is the only way to ensure that software isn't malware or spyware, and it's better for humanity as a whole.

I understand the argument that "enforcing rules isn't freedom" and that you feel entitled to keep your code private, but without the GPL, we would be completely restricted in terms of software. We would basically be the absolute bitches of giant corporations if not for the autist neck beard and his crazy "philosophy" antics.

>>56006066
Dude, do you seriously vet every line of code on your machine?

No, but the point isn't that I vet all the code that runs on my machine. The point is that anyone can vet the code and discover potential problems. Also FOSS helps people to learn, and obviously has a bigger pool of developers to improve the code, or to possibly fork it.

I bet all you care about is that you can't make as much money off of FOSS as you can proprietary (which is not necessarily true).

I use this.

Crunchbang++.
I'm a fan of Openbox, I think the post-installation scripts are convenient, and my Wi-Fi works out-of-the-box unlike plain Debian.

It's basically pre-riced Debian anyway.

I use Ubuntu GNOME. I also use KDE Neon. I prefer using Ubuntu based distros because I like being able to use PPAs. I also have used Arch and OpenSUSE. Never could get into Fedora.

Me using the code for my own ends and restricting the results when giving it to others doesn't magically make the original open source material disappear off the interbutts. Data doesn't disappear when you download it and needs to be reupped by you when you're done using it. It's not a rent-a-truck.

Debian testing/sid
Debian testing due to arbitrary package migration delay from sid to catch some bugs; otoh that might lead to getting stuck on some old package when there are constantly new bugs in the newer versions even when the old one still has even more severe bugs. (didn't happen yet to me)

Debian, because free and open are both important to me.

I suppose not that often, but I also like to reinstall my system once or twice a year, and you never know when you want to try something out. Also the larger the program, the worse it is.

I already wait enough for packages to download/install/update on Debian. The benefits of compiling your own software aren't good enough for me to deal with all the extra waiting.

No mention of gentoo's brilliant community though. Their irc is one of the best if you are stuck on an issue. Compiling really isn't an issue and shouldn't have much of an impact on deciding whether to use gentoo or not. Portage is the best packet manager I have used and is reason enough for me to seriously suggest trying gentoo out.

It does for me. But I suppose I shouldn't knock it until I try it.

Debian currently does everything I need, and although Gentoo's memes are attractive (mostly just portage), I really don't have a reason to switch.

>>56013348
Couple of seconds boot time no ssd shitty i3 cpu, programs optimized for your own architecture, control, stability. You actually have a choice

>>56013348
Fair enough, I mean the only reason to try gentoo would be if you are attracted to the level and control is gives you over your system.

Most things compile fast enough for it not to be an inconvenience. The only time it might be an issue is during the initial install and if you are on an old computer. I mean I can understand why you might not want to wait a little longer for stuff to install but I can't see any way it would actually impact your computer use.

i would use fedora if it had sensible standard configuration for selinux, firewall, samba, dnf (not the slow one), fonts, fonts in firefox, and if it would use automatic language installer from ubuntu for installed apps (i dont understand why other distros are not using this, its such a good and well working tool), and maybe had more officially supported packages.

I dont hate it, but those things are really pain-in-the-assy to the point i rather use ubuntu or debian testing.

>>55999223
I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Debian because I want a working system and don't need to show off how much of a 1337 hacker I am.

Wizards assemble !

Advanced users of GNU/Linux (and I mean advanced), remember to try Source Mage GNU/Linux. True source-based distribution that can heal broken installs. And (in contrast with Gentoo and Arch) is:
Free from obfuscated and pre-configured code.
Fully committed to GPL, uses only free software (as in freedom) in their main package.
With even the documentation is licensed as FDL.
Without 3rd party patches, sensible defaults or masked packages.
Doesn't need obfuscated python libraries, only bash.
Uses clean dependencies as they came from upstream developers, which by the same provides instant updates.
Can also use flags.

Do you like Arch Linux's AUR? Do you like Gentoo's portgage (or ports-like) package manager? With SMGL's "sorcery" you get all that. Making new "spells" not found in the "grimoire" (repository) is easy http://sourcemage.org/Spell/Book
