The only way to beat systemd and prevent it from becoming standard forever is to develop a better alternative init system with a modern codebase, that does not become an invasion of the bodysnatchers precisely like systemd

Agree or Disagree?

The future isn't in the past init systems. There's gotta be a new one.

It works. It's heavy, so only use if you have decent hardware. Shell extensions make it neat. It's lacking in the default menu config options but it's not too shabby. My go-to "heavy" DE.

Wonderful. Lightest DE I know. My go-to DE for old hardware, when I don't want to go DE-less.

>LXQt
Haven't tried it yet, but I hear it's slightly heavier than LXDE, but not by much

>WM vs DE for productivity
Eh. Really it's getting in the nitty gritty. It's like asking if someone who uses vim is more productive than someone that uses Visual Studio. WM-only setups take time to get used to, and when you master them you can do everything faster. But it's up to you to know whether it's worth it to make that time investment.

My Brother HL-2240 printer was working, then one day all my printing jobs were stuck on pending.

>LXDE/LXQt
I'm using LXDE and it's great. Coupled with pytyle I can even get tiling when I need to.
Everything I need is there and everything that isn't is obviously a gimmick.

>WM vs DE for productivity
I prefer DE's, because the WM I'd use would probably be openbox, and after installing a file manager, a panel and a terminal I'd end up with LXDE.

One of the best rolling release distros, best KDE implementation by far, bloated with layers upon layers of GUI frontends. Slightly lacking official repos, with a weird way of adding more.

I installed Mint 17.3 KDE /fglt/

I'm pretty new to this whole linux thing but I've heard that you should upgrade the kernel because it gives you speed and security and stuff. On the other hand people at Mint say updating kernels is dangerous and will break things.

It took a while but I managed to find the place where I can update the kernel - and I did, to 4.4.0-34. from 3.9 something. Everything works so far, but I'm scared shitless, waiting for the other shoe to drop. Still, i'm surprised I can only update to 4.4. I've read somewhere that the latest kernel is like 4.7?

Anyway, my main question is, did I mess up my system by this? Will I gain noticeable speed? Or should I just reinstall and start over.

>>56195650
Relax. You didn't mess up your system. You likely won't gain anything noticeable either. By default, after upgrading your kernel, the old one is still there, added to your boot menu as another option, so if shit breaks, boot the old one, remove the newer one, and you're back to normal.

>>56195176
You're going to end up ricing and installing alternatives anyways so it doesn't matter

>muh ram, muh deps
doesn't matter on any system you'd install wayland/an X server on

>>56195650
You probably won't notice much difference. Kernel updates can break things but mostly not. Usually if the kernel boots for you then it should be ok.

>>56195650
At most proprietary drivers for the video card won't work with the latest kernel.
I'm on 4.6.6 with nvidia drivers on my desktop and on 4.7.2 on the laptop with intel IGP.
You don't have to reinstall.

>Bedrock Linux
>Source Mage GNU/Linux
>Slackware

If you need systemd:

>Debian
>Gentoo

If you want something out of the box:
>Ubuntu
>Manjaro
>Linux Lite

If you want to be an edgelord while simultaneously being the laughingstock of the Linux community:
>Arch

You should learn what the kernel is.
But as for stability, updating the kernel doesn't usually break anything.
So if you can boot, you are probably safe.
You should keep old kernels, so if you update into something that doesn't work, you can boot into something else.

The alternative is to compile your own.
This teaches you a lot.

Thanks anons, very useful info!

I do have a few more questions though. So if I don't gain any noticeable speed from this upgrade, does that mean I need to install a distribution that comes with a 4.4 kernel by default and that one would be faster?
What I'm trying to say is: does the older OS negates the kernel upgrade's benefit? Or if you upgrade any distro to a new kernel, it gets as fast as any new one?

Also, do you think I should install these upgrades, or am I better off without? I mean...they are kinda red.

>they are kinda red

You have hit the reason as to why most people here don't recommend Linux Mint. Yes, it's an easy to use and friendly derivative of Ubuntu - but the problem is that the codebase behind Linux Mint is really weird. With the default settings, those updates form upstream (From Debian, from Ubuntu) don't download because they first have to test them with the clusterfuck that is the Mint codebase for any incompatibities. They are known to recur to coding malpractice such as violating the namespace of another program, thus causing the original to be unusable. Stuff like that.

The shitty thing is that this includes security updates sometimes. So, by default, sometimes you won't have the latest security patches from upstream because they haven't been tested to be fully compatible with Mint. Which puts you at risk of exploits. And on the flip side, if you install them on Mint, you don't know if it's gonna break anything.

This is why Mint is a good "babby's first" distro, but definitely not something you want to use as your actual operating system.

When you feel comfortable, you should switch to something better, like Debian (and then upgrade it to Testing branch once installed). You sound like you'd be up to learning about it

>>56195905
Kernel updates are bug fixes, regressions, driver updates, file system updates etc.
Having an older kernel vs a newer kernel isn't going to make that big a difference unless you have some hardware that finally gets full support with the new one.

I don't want to be the guy telling you "you chose the wrong distro" but 17.3 with KDE? Why?
If you want a lighter desktop go with something that's not KDE, if you want the most up to date OS go with something that's rolling release or at least based on the latest Ubuntu.

Damn, for years i wondered what was the difference between "Sleep" and "Hibernate", but i only remembered about it when i was shutting down my PC. I suppose Linux has a similar option, right?. (i'll be using Mint for now, since is the only one were i have experience. I will jump into Debian in the future.)

Agree in beat systemd, but some of us still like sysvinit way of scripts, and so we don't think it was ever broken, the new init better have something really cool and unix like to provide, and don't bother in making a new init if is either on python or shit libraries like that.

By the way, beating systemd is not all about having good programming skills, systemd has Red Hat bigots to force everybody to join the borg collective. Never mind there is a better alternative than theirs, what they actually want is vendor lock-in. Remember upstart, not even Canonical oppose them. Also the last guys who tried to make a sane alternative got trolled, hard https://github.com/servicemanager/servicemanager

So good luck with systemd and its trolls.

Hi /fglt/! I have a Creative Soundblaster E1. It's an external sound card, and it works pretty good with Linux (I'm running Ubuntu 16.04). It is connected via USB, and has two minijack ports where sound is coming out. One of the two minijack ports can, in the Windows software for the device, be retasked as a microphone jack. I don't know how to configure this, or where to look further. I've been looking for a solution to this for about a week, and I just thought maybe somebody here knew some way to retask the minijacks on an external sound card.

I'm on fedora and when I try to "dnf install wine", it downloads both i686 and x86_64 versions of all the packages.
After everything is downloaded I get the following output:

Running transaction check
Transaction check succeeded.
Running transaction test
The downloaded packages were saved in cache until the next successful transaction.
You can remove cached packages by executing 'dnf clean packages'.
Error: Transaction check error:

why do these packages conflict and how do I resolve this?

>>56196998
it's my personal advice that you avoid WINE and any emulation like the plague. You don't want to be embedding anything Microsoft into your Linux OS.

I think by far the best way to play Windows games on Linux is to have a properly set up virtual machine running on it's own physical hard drive and has access to it's own GPU with PCI passthrough. This way you get true native performance and don't mess up your OS with Windows stuff.

I've been trying to install i3-gaps-git on my new Arch install, but it doesn't seem like the build environment is correct (or something like that).

Each time I try to makepk -sri it lists a header file that is missing. I can go through and manually symlink all the header files to /usr/include, but I shouldn't have to do that.

I've tried reinstalling all the base and base-devel packages, but that didn't do anything.

The blender-thumbnailer.py wasn't installed with the package on arch (or I couldn't find it) so I coped it from here https://github.com/dfelinto/blender/blob/master/release/bin/blender-thumbnailer.py

It doesn't show any thumbnails though. Anything else I need to do or did I do soemthing wrong?

Kali does a good job for it's purpose and runs very well a main distro if you configure it like one (creating a user, enabling bluetooth, etc). If he enjoys pentesting, it's the perfect distro for him.

Once you finish your net install, you should decide if you want to stay on the Stable branch (default) or jump to Testing or Sid. Most desktop users of Debian use Testing. Stable's mostly used for servers. If you do want to upgrade, it only takes editing a text file.

Babbys first unbound instance

Can someone help clarify details about the config:

Looking at this config and with my retard level knowledge I'm trying to understand why you still need forward zones specified.
I thought the main point was to query root servers every time and then go down to avoid having to query third party DNS servers that can not be trusted.

Why is there still a local zone entry in the config files specified here?

I must be missing something big here in my understanding.

It's a net install. It's a small ISO with a nice friendly graphical installer (choose graphical install when it boots).
