Setup an SSH tunnel to some VPS and route all your traffic through it. Chinks are fucking cucked by their gov. feel bad for you for that. Other than that you're the scum of the earth and deserve all the shit you get though <3

>>56078678
Thanks. I'm moving there in a little over a week.

What is a VPS and how do I do what you suggested?

>>56078678
Im not actually Chinese. Im here on business

I work with a crowdfunded 3d printer company, we are having supplier issues with some of our factories. I am supporting my other team members in person to get stuff cleaned up

>>56078591
Depends on how you define work.

Protecting your privacy and going through the Great Chinese Firewall? No

>>56078671
why?

>>56078704
It's China. I don't mind foregoing privacy. I just want to be able to access Youtube and porn sites.

>>56078709
Package conflicts and blocked packages. Every time I fix one, another problem happens.

>>56078716
That should be possible. Ask the Chinks how they do it.

>>56078723
Aren't blocks considered bugs in gentoo? Maybe that's just funtoo.

>>56078725
The average Chinese person doesn't really need to bypass the firewall. It's the foreigners who live there that have the greatest incentive to do so. Most of them just buy shitty VPN services that only work half the time. I'm looking for a more /g/ solution that will work better.

>>56078568

See https://superuser.com/questions/62303/how-can-i-tunnel-all-of-my-network-traffic-through-ssh on how to do this on linux/osx. On windows you can probably only use tunneling by letting putty setup a SOCKS5 tunnel, which should work fine with most services like email and browsing.

Also, this is an interesting article: http://blog.zorinaq.com/my-experience-with-the-great-firewall-of-china/

Note that they monitor all traffix so they will immediately know if you connect to a known VPN. SSH traffic is a whole different story, they won't be able to distinguish. Anyway, they won't give a rats ass if foreigners or upper class people peek out of the firewall, it's the plebs they want to keep down.

>Why doesn't Linus get sued for violating the GPL?
Because he doesn't implement the modules, other kernel developer do it for him. It's also actually tricky: The modules are dynamically linked, which means, inside the GPL zone is a link that points to the binary module outside the GPL zone. If this violates the GPL is discussed for years.

Web server, robot that you can speak to, magic mirror, torrent box/seed box, home automation, etc. Google around and you'll find something to do with it. Raspbian is probably the best distro for the raspberry pi since you will be using SSH to do anything with the device most of the time.

>>56079050
Since you're new to GNU/Linux, the first thing you need to learn is to make your own choices. I know it's a new feeling, but try it, you'll love it.

Musicbee is windows only. I find mpd + ncmpcpp a lot of fun to use and its so simple. But thats if you like playing music from the terminal.

1. Saves time.
Downloading and intalling an entire distro from scratch is actually faster than having to pick and download 1GB+ of individual packages through the package manager from slow servers.

Udiskie literally didn't work as well

>>56080137
As much as I hate that "app" now means "computer thing," I hate more that I can't say "app menu" without someone assuming I'm a normie

>>56080171
I don't know unless you specify why it's worse on Windows. Is it harder to install? Is it harder to use?

It's probably better because GNU/Linux is generally developer & command-line oriented, and python is a very popular and useful language that many packages and people use.

>>56080323
Why do smell like a permavirgin WM NEET?

>>56080362
Compile it from upstream yourself. Or wait

>>56080388
Okay that's cool.

And actually I just realized read Firefox can apparently handle it's own updates independent of apt, which was actually what concerned me in the first place.

Cheers, anon.

which gnome 3 distro do you all prefer?

for me should i go for ubuntu gnome or antergos?

>>56080362

>>56080439
None

>>56080463
>i had firefox on debian before. totally forget how though
It's the default browser for Debian. He wanted to know how to get a newer version than what's available in the official repositories.

>>56080481
Why bother to reply..
>>56080490
oh i thought he meant actual firefox and not iceweasel

>>56080452
Even better. Thanks!

>>56080463
I think you can use apt pinning to grab it from unstable, but I don't really understand how to use apt pinning still.

Firefox stable and testing still use iceweasel anyways.

>>56080439
The correct answer is don't use GNOME 3.

But if that's not an answer, I'd go with either debian testing or arch/antegros. You really can't go wrong with either, so pick whichever you are more comfortable with. It doesn't matter a whole lot. (I would gamble GNOME runs better on debian though.)

>>56080500
Because

>>56080362
sudo apt-get install firefox-esr
??

>>56080526
yeah probably antergos. i like both arch and deb but antergos is very cozy even by default

Hey fellas.

I notice that Manjaro is becoming more popular lately. What is your opinion on it as a distribution?

Opinions on openSUSE, never see it mentioned

>>56080554
ESR is on 45 still.

It's really not even a big deal, I'm actually fine with 45 I'm just testing a bug I had on a previous install with 48 that I nuked, and am just trying to track down if it's a debian issue or something else.

>>56080565
Well antegros is arch just with an easy installer. I've installed arch myself enough times to just use antegros now though.

>>56080508
Also regarding the correct file to install, you want the one that's ~40MB and doesn't say "dbg" or "dev" on it.

>>56080591
Manjaro is pretty good, it also doesn't force systemd like Arch.

>>56079965
>How much time does the average linux user spend on simply keeping the OS running and seARCHing for fixes when it wont boot after some update?
FTFY

>>56080617
yeah used both in past. antergos works for me no shits given.

>>56080591
I think its easier than ubuntu but has more potential for something to break. Im using it on my thinkpad and the switchable graphics are set up out of the box

>>56080591
I like it. Check out the bspwm edition.

>>56080591
It's okay and has its strengths, but I would honestly just go with arch itself if you aren't afraid of the unknown.

There's been a lot of controversy with the competence of the devs, and I think that has turned a lot of people off from it. There used to be a lot of flack with how they freeze literally EVERY package for an undisclosed amount of time, but my understanding is that's gotten better (in part because upstream arch packages have gotten better.)

If you want the benefits of arch and don't mind sacrificing bleeding edge for stability, it can be a pretty good choice. (Apparently drivers just werk on desktops)

>>56080607
openSUSE was one of my earlier experiments and I still fucking love it. The only thing that turns me off is that packagse aren't really as up to date as any other OS, but it has a lot of cool things going on. Package management is good, the OS works really well with plasma, and it has a rolling release and standard release version. It's pretty damn stable too.

honestly the only legit reason to install manjaro/antergos is if you've already installed arch normally and want to reinstall without the hassle

installing arch linux for a first timer is a good learning experience for anyone

>>56080591
There also memes around about Manjaro, don't fall for them.

There's a meme about SSL issues (people claim Manjaro devs forget updating website SSL certs), but it isn't true, the cert holder who gives out the certs was too late.

There are also memes that claim Manjaro holds back packages for weeks, which isn't true also. Packages are managed like on Debian, stable, testing and unstable, where unstable is as fresh as arch.

>>56080779
-+ typos

These threads aren't very friendly.

>>56080627
Thanks anon I would have never realized that.

>>56080779
Do they hold them back just for the sake of it or do they actually hold them back to test for stability?

I've been an Arch user for a short while, and I'm thinking about making the switch to Gentoo. Any general tips/advice? Should I just follow the handbook for installation?

Is there any way Linux could get better battery life out of a laptop?
I remember a few years ago people were complaining that linux didn't manage battery life as well as windows, but is that still true?

I'm attempting to install a package in Debian Testing, but it won't work because of a dependency issue with "libhunspell-1.4-0". It needs libhunspell-1.3-0 but that version is only available in the stable repositories.

How can I install this older version in the safest way? Do I have to add stable to my sources list?

>>56080950
Nope, the handbook wasn't written to tell you how to install it. You should avoid it. Instead, you should blindfold yourself and just hack onto the keyboard until it's installed.

>>56080950
>Wanting to burn your CPU

>>56080987
The handbooks is unusually sparse when it comes to configuring the kernel, though.

>>56080983
Tell the maintainer he fucked up the dependencies.

This might sound dumb, but did you replace every "Jessie" in the sources.list with testing? Even testing/updates and what not?

>>56081072
I assumed you wanted to install something from the testing repo - then it would be fucked up if it needed a dependency that's not in testing.

For your problem there is no maintainer, so you can either try to fix it yourself (and maybe break things) or wait until a maintainer ports that version of FF to your system.

>>56081072
>>56081072
There's your problem. (I'm that guy he was responding too and just gathered this.)

That firefox 48 is only available in the unstable sid repo because it depends on something in that repo.

The only way it kept happening for me was when my video card drivers weren't recognized by the system. Updating the drivers, or using proprietary ones solved it, but I am not sure if it would work for you since you're in the VBox

just fuck my shit up

Recently my gaymen pee see has become a pain in the ass to maintain. I'm considering selling it and getting a full time comfy laptop for light gaming and school work.

My old rig is almost 5 years old now and while its still sufficient, I wont be full time gaming as much, and am open to the idea of either building a mini itx to bring to college with me, or getting a nice laptop. I want laptop with a decent amount of power under the hood, but not something chunky and colorful with logos all over it that screams "IM A GAMING LAPTOP", although if my best options do looks like that I'll consider it. Only things I want to be doing on it is some gaming, internet shit like watching vids, social media, shitposting here etc. I also want to try my hand at coding again, I only know some basic java and C++ but i want to learn some more.

I at some point wanted to make the transition from windows 7 to linux, as imo win 7 was the last decent windows os, and I have to make the switch at some point. I have almost no experience with linux, but I'm willing to learn and dont want to be held down by limited flavor or distro just because I chose a beginner friendly one.

I have a budget of about 800-1200 bucks, depending on how decent the setup is, and I'm willing to buy used. Is this a realistic budget, and if it is what laptop and distro should I aim for? How should I go about learning linux, and whats the first thing I should do after installing whatever distro I choose?

There are a few good ones. Unifont and terminus come to mind.

Is there a good alternative to Dolphin on KDE? When I use it to do some heavy tasks, it usually crashes my KDE desktop and makes it restart which is extremenly annoying. Sometimes it doesen't start back up and I have to re-enable plasma through the terminal.

>>56083790
Because mac os uses an ancient version of bash.
>>56083918
A few WMs and DEs have that. GNOMEs one is similar to what you are looking for.

>>56084371
Yes. You can even make it proprietary. Remember, BSD is a cuck license.

>>56084371
It is a GNU question, so it fits this thread. The bsd licenses are permissive, you can do whatever with them, even fork them nonfree and not contribute back.

If you had a program that you always wanted to say 'Y' to you would just pipe 'yes' to it. eg. yes | pacman -S <something>

I just installed a fresh copy of debian on my laptop, and all the fonts look kind of bad. What is the easiest way to install infinality or get better font rendering?

>>56081061
One of the reasons why I like Arch is that I get the true latest drivers. Nouveau is pretty nice and gets updated but it's old as shit on Ubuntu and Ubuntu based distros. I always had problems with the proprietary Nvidia drivers.

>>56084934
Atheros libre wifi is cheap as chips and usually easy to install. I wish they had more market share too, but it's really not a big inconvenience.

>>56081341
Install pamac from AUR, it's a GUI for Pacman. It shows you what you need.

>>56082337
Probably a problem with KDE and your kernel. Use the latest kernel.

I prefer Trisquel myself. All the comfy of Ubuntu with libre philosophy.

Is latest Krita broken for someone else? Missing tools icons, fucked up text rendering. Please respond I need to know.

Try replacing the '-drive media=disk' line with
