First for Debian:
1. Respects your freedom first and foremost.
2. Allows you to knowingly opt-in to non-free software if you want/need it.
3. Stable by default.
4. Allows you to knowingly opt-in to a rolling release, if you want/need it.
5. Decisions are made by the community instead of a single entity.
6. One of the eldest and most influential distros to this day.

What's the best lightweight, user-friendly distribution that is webscale, for beginners, but also not hiding anything from expert users, that's customizable, offering long term support, supports servers, while also being optimized for desktop use and which has a version of libxau higher than 1.0.5, but lower than 1.0.8, also it should support my S3 Virge videocard and come with the Faenza icon theme that supports icons for Anki?

How much of a difference does building with gcc 6.2.0 make over 5.4.0 and 4.9.0?

"Respects your freedom first and foremost" refers to how Debian comes with 100% free software by default, including a deblobbed Linux kernel.
This is enforced by their social contract, part of which served as the basis for the Open Source Definition:
https://www.debian.org/social_contract

"Decisions are made by the community instead of a single entity." refers to their constitution which lays out how decisions are made in order to not give one person or group too much power:
https://www.debian.org/devel/constitution

>>57283393
>constitution
But a constitution isn't a fucking community. You clearly said the decisions are made by a community, not by a semi-independent piece of paper with rules on it.

>"I use X Distro because of how it looks"

Is there any helping this people? Is it even worth correcting them? It's not like I care that people use Ubuntu / Mint, but when their entire justification is because of the DE it irks me a bit. I feel like it shows a fundamental misunderstanding of linux.

Is ther a way to make urxvt stop underlining links?

True. I guess it would be more accurate to say that the decisions are made by the community of developers who collectively maintain all the various parts that make up Debian.

>Announcing an updated version, and the first -ck release with MuQSS as the scheduler, officially retiring BFS from further development, in line with the diminished rate of bug reports with MuQSS. It is clear that the little attention BFS had received over the years apart from rushed synchronisation with mainline had cause a number of bugs to creep in and MuQSS is basically a rewritten evolution of the same code so it makes no sense to maintain both.

>officially retiring BFS from further development

i dislike it, but forking for any reason has become the answer.

>>57282710
Debian's Social Contract states the goal of making Debian entirely free software, and Debian conscientiously keeps nonfree software out of the official Debian system. However, Debian also provides a repository of nonfree software. According to the project, this software is “not part of the Debian system,” but the repository is hosted on many of the project's main servers, and people can readily find these nonfree packages by browsing Debian's online package database and its wiki.

There is also a “contrib” repository; its packages are free, but some of them exist to load separately distributed proprietary programs. This too is not thoroughly separated from the main Debian distribution.

Previous releases of Debian included nonfree blobs with Linux, the kernel. With the release of Debian 6.0 (“squeeze”) in February 2011, these blobs have been moved out of the main distribution to separate packages in the nonfree repository. However, the problem partly remains: the installer in some cases recommends these nonfree firmware files for the peripherals on the machine.

Actual GNU/Linux distribution with proprietary drivers included out of the box.

So I just wasted about 6 hours recoding some videos from some crap mp4 shit into mkv+HEVC+opus master race but most came out with dropped frames so I have to do them from scratch.

It was the ones that were higher resolution (4K) that came out badly. How should I prevent this from happening?

>>57284297
Also I did use vsync 1 but it clearly didn't help

>>57284297
are you sure you're actually missing frames, and not just struggling to play them back at full speed?

ffmpeg should have been telling you constantly that frames were being dropped while encoding

>>57284378
That's the thing, even with vsync 1, it was telling me about some dropped frames, but beyond using vsync, I don't know what the fuck to do to stop this shit from going on.

>>57284406
and you're not changing the framerate manually? (ex. "-i file.mp4 -r 20")

>>57284175
I know that's from gnu.org, but it has nothing against none of the points made.

It still respects freedom first and foremost, because it's 100% free software by default. e.g.:
>Debian conscientiously keeps nonfree software out of the official Debian system.
You have to go out of your way to get nonfree software on it, even if it isn't "thoroughly separated" enough by the GNU's standards.

>>57284425
No, this is the script I used (wrote myself so could be fucked/shitty)

for i in *.mp4 ; do ffmpeg -i "$i" -vsync 1 -c:v libx265 -c:a libopus -x265-params -out "${i%.mp4}.mkv"; done

Can software break hardware?

I got yelled at by Senpai over at /tpg/ a week ago, now I'm asking /fglt/ because friendly.

I don't know anything about Linux, can get my way around Windows and I figured I'd give it a try, it seemed interesting. I, for the fun of it, tried, and succeeded, to install Gentoo on my Thinkpad, it was too bothersome/complicated for me, so I installed Arch. I had no idea what I was doing, but the system was working, so I figured it was fine and seldom used it, swapping between it and my Windows install (physically swapping the HDD that is). I did notice, however, that the fans on my laptop were running much quieter than on Windows, I figured that it was because the system was more efficient or something, honestly I didn't think much of it.
Now. A month ago, I started getting random BSOD on Windows, figured I had to format, so I decided against it and to use only my Arch install. It did work for about a week. The next day, the laptop wouldn't boot anymore, motherboard failure.

I got a new Thinkpad a week ago, but I'm afraid of installing Arch again because I'm scared that the software, not correctly configured, could have killed my laptop. Maybe the fans setup wasn't done properly and the laptop got too hot while in standby?

What should I do /fglt/. Could Arch have killed my laptop? Should I stay away from Linux because Windows Baby? The only reason I got into Linux was out of interest, I'd like to learn to code and I figured it would be much more concrete on Linux, I always liked to tweak and customize everything.

Thanks for reading /fglt/, have a cute anime for your trouble.

>>57284523
you might need to specifiy bitrate

>>57284572
gentoo killed it because you trashed her and switched to arch

>>57284523
not really sure, the only times i've run into dropped frames are when;
- the input is weird and gives me some/lots of ... can't quite remember what the error actually said, but it contained some floating point number under 0, and probably "timestamp" or "pts", adding -vsync 1 seems to do the job for these
- setting the framerate after the input, this causes a conversion, so frames and dropped or duped to suit

ps. you've specified -x265-params but haven't actually written any

also, while trying to find the error mention above, i ran into a similar one regarding invalid timestamps, and the fix for that one was "-fflags +genpts" (before -i)
couldn't hurt to try it

>>57284691
Thanks.
DIdn't realize the thing about -x265-params, as I said I wrote it myself by copying stuff here and there from the net. I'll try with the timestamps fix, sounds good actually.

>>57284691
>some floating point number under 0
under 1, rather, like "0.89283737"
haven't seen it since using -vsync 1, so i struggle to remember the rest

if +genpts does what i think it does (scans through the input to generate timestamps) it'll probably take a bit longer to actually start encoding

>>57284572
You should noticed the overheat and as i know the fan should speed up automatically on every TP and if it's overheat it should restart to save the cpu. I use a TP too with arch and i have no problems with the cooling. Are you sure it's the motherboard?

>>57284901
Yup, according to the beeps, it's a motherboard failure.
System won't boot to bios, even without a HDD.

What confuses me, however, is that the thinklight and the leds still works.

Also, yeah, the fans would have probably kicked in if it overheat would have been the problem.
It was a T400 so, maybe it just died by natural cause.
I guess I'll install Arch, or maybe Antergos this time, on the new T420.

Thanks for your input Anon.

>>57285158
>What confuses me, however, is that the thinklight and the leds still works.
they run on seperate microcontroller(s)

>>57285184
That would make a lot of sense!

Yeah. I think I'll take the plunge and install Arch again. The more I think of it, Windows BSODing every now and then for no reason, yeah, it was probably slowly dying. Or >>57284674 is right, and Gentoo was poisoning it from the inside.

>>57283270

>>57285500
Disables desktop icons, causes a bunch of problems

>>57283270

>>57283889
Unrelated, but instead of looping, you could use find. Here an example:

find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -name '*.flac' -exec bash -c 'f={}; ffmpeg -hide_banner -c:a libopus -ab 192k -ac 2 -ar 48000 -i "${f}" -- "${f%.*}.opus"' \;

In general, it is possible. For example, some failsafes exist in the drivers, and inaccurately written drivers could unknowingly bypass them and blah blah.

But honestly, it's extremely unlikely. Especially if we're talking something as widespread as Thinkpads or Linux.

I want to do this, using c-kermit, but the version of U-boot on my router doesn't have the 'loadb' command, so I can't set it up to receive a file that way.

>is it possible to do a gpu passthru if you only have igpu?
No. You need two GPUs. For example one discrete GPU and one internal GPU like those that are integrated into the CPU. Pretty much every single Intel CPU on the market that isn't X99 or Xeon has a GPU on the CPU.

So if you have a 6700K and a NVIDIA/AMD card or something similar, you're good to go.

>if not, i imagine it would be possible to do a gpu passthru with an external thunderbolt gpu yea? does linux even support thunderbolt 3?
Yes it does. At least according to https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dell_XPS_13_(2016)#Thunderbolt_3_.2F_USB_3.1

As for the external GPU - I'm very certain that's possible. You can either just pass the entire thunderbolt PCI hub into the VM, or maybe just only do the GPU. Either way it should work perfectly fine.

There are patches all over the place that you can use instead of re-inventing the wheel. See the copypasta collection in the OP. It has a section on the file picker meme.

Why the GNOME/GTK team hasn't fixed this shit yet is unfathomable. I guess they're lazy cunts who'd rather rewrite their entire base fifteen times a year instead of fixing real issues.

Because stallman got GTFO with Linux and now his " ILL SHOW U DAMN KIDS" project isnt needed and will never go anywhere, which he even admits

In 2010, after twenty years under development, Stallman said that he was "not very optimistic about the GNU Hurd. It makes some progress, but to be really superior it would require solving a lot of deep problems", but added that "finishing it is not crucial" for the GNU system because a free kernel already existed (Linux), and completing Hurd would not address the main remaining problem for a free operating system: device support

It depends on so much things.

# Then there is a list of the versions of Cinnamon and there is the main thing that I pointed out: 

(masked by: invalid: REQUIRED_USE: USE flag 'python_targets_python3_3' is not in IUSE)

I've looked on the Gentoo wiki, even the Cinnamon install page on the wiki and there is a brief part about this error but I still can't fix it, I read a bit about masks and when I do:

I only have a laptop, I have mint working on it and I can use it for what I need, but there is still an absolute ton of niggly little things that need fixing. It's starting to feel like a job.

I tried using Linux mint on my laptop but there is a weird double image whenever I minimize things, sort of like what could be described as lagging how do I fix this?

You could try compton.

I either have autism or completely forgot how to do symb links.

example:
#/bin/bash
echo Hello World

sudo ln -s ~/Downloads/hello-world /bin/hello

in order to run hello it requires me to do "sh hello"

Not sure if you're still here, but I tried adding those flags and it didn't help. If anyone has any more ideas please let me know.

still here, can you provide a sample?

say, cut out a minute like with;
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -t 1:00 -c copy -map 0 cut.mp4
and post it somewhere, like jii.moe

ensure the copy does the same thing first, of course
