>>57296630
Ich möchte nur einmal kurz etwas einwerfen. Was Sie als Linux bezeichnen ist in Wahrheit GNU/Linux, oder wie ich es vor kurzem zu bezeichen begonnen habe, GNU plus Linux. Linux an sich ist kein Betriebssystem, sondern eine weitere freie Komponente eines voll Funktionsfähigen GNU Systems, welches durch die GNU corelibs, shell utilities und andere wichtige System Komponente nützlich gemacht wird und ein Betriebssystem ist, wie es durch das POSIX definiert ist.

Viele Computer Nutzer benutzen eine modifizierte Version des GNU Systems jeden Tag ohne es zu bemerken. Durch eine eigenartige Wendung wird die Version von GNU, die heute weit verbreitet ist, oft Linux genannt und viele der Nutzer sind sich nicht bewusst, dass es eigentlich das GNU System ist, welches von dem GNU Projekt entwickelt wurde.

Es existiert wirklich ein Linux, und diese Leute benutzen es, jedoch handelt es sich dabei nur um einen Teil ihres Systems. Linux ist ein Kernel: das Programm im System welches die durch die Maschine bereitgestellten Ressourcen an andere laufende Programme verteilt. Der Kernel ist ein essentieller Teil eines Betriebssystems, aber ohne den Rest des Systems nutzlos; er kann nur in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Rest des Systems funktionieren. Linux wird für gewöhnlich in Kombination mit dem GNU Betriebssystem verwendet: Das ganze System ist eigentlich GNU mit dem Linux Kernel, oder GNU/Linux. Alle so genannten Linux Distributionen sind in Wahrheit Distributionen von GNU/Linux!

What is the best music player?
I know the first response I'm going to get is mod+ncmpcpp, but I have never understood why this is any better than using a gui client

>>57296744
mpd+ncmpcpp

>>57296744
and the reason is because you should be using a tiling WM

>>57296769
th-thanks
I've actually used mpd + ncmpcpp before, and I didn't get why everyone shills for it so much. It looked kind of nice after ricing it, but using it is still slower than a gui player.

>>57296791
I use openbox. Tried awesome for a while but didn't really like tiling that much.

>>57296726
This, I've also used MPV for music for a while until I discovered Clementine.

Daily reminder those who don't use fluxbox are continuously drifting away from gods light. Fluxbox is the only pure wm that anyone should use.

I really like tiling, if your beef is because it fucks with browsing, I usually browse maximised.
I'd suggest you both give it a go again with awesome, and at least customise it a little, start with putting in a drop-down terminal from the wiki

>>57296985
Because you can then have both, and maybe one day you'll stop being retarded and use a tiling wm for better efficiency

>signed t. McNEETfuck

>>57296915
just open design mode, start from a totally blank pane and split and resize as needed.
its split left and right, left for album art, then the right is split top and bottom, and the top right is split into thirds for the controls, with the bottom for tabbed playlists. Then everything is just resized
I wanted the QT gui because it lets me hide the top menu.
>>57296965
Im not exactly sure what you're saying, I already use a drop-down terminal though. I may try a tiling WM sometime later, but not on my desktop or my main laptop, and not awesome. Probably i3.

other than arch, debian and gentoo, which distro would you say has the most trustworthy devs? some that are definitely not in it for money or other reasons

Nice trips there.

>>57297046
Does your OpenBox only have 1 workspace/screen/virtual desktop?
You can configure awesome to be floating on one screen and tiling on the other.

Also, I haven't tried i3 so I can't comment, but I just started using awesome and it seems fine.
So why not? and why not as your daily driver? seems fine for me.

>>57297050
Devuan

>>57297029
I've got a 23 inch monitor. I don't need to cram everything into tiny windows.
Floating is also much easier since it allows for on the fly window adjustment.

>why not?
Aversion to how cramped things seem to get when I tile them myself in my floating WMs.
>why not as your daily driver?
I like to test things out before adopting them. Im setting up the openbox system IM gonna use on a testing laptop before putting it on my main one, for example.

Plus, I dont want to learn how to tiling WM right now, maybe over some vacation I will, but not now.

>>57297162
I'm on a 27" 1080 monitor, just swap to the fucking world of CLI, it's so much better.
Also I can adjust windows on the fly when it needs to be floating, I just have to hold an extra key down

>>57297188
I meant why i3 and not awesome?

Also I haven't configured jack shit, running on the stock/out-of-box config, just look up a cheat sheet and rice it when you can be fucked.

Also it's all basically Windows + Vim keys:

Windows + J/ to select
Windows + Shift + J/K to move it around

Windows + 1 to move to different screens
Windows + Shift + 1 to move selected window to different screens

Win+Shift+H/L to adjust size etc

That's all you need to know, maybe how to close windows and run commands (Win+Shift+C and Win+R)

It's not really that hard and you're both just fucking retarded. I'd suggest installing it along side whatever you want and trying it out when possible.

>>57297303
>I just have to hold an extra key down
Seriously? I wasn't aware you could accomplish this in awesome.

newbie question - I understand the Ubuntu is some sort of version of Debian but what is actually the difference, other than it having a different DE? Is it just different packages come pre-installed?

Wake up senpai. i3 is for babbies.

Installing 16.10 to give it a spin, checking out Unity 8, and my fucking mouse won't work.

It just hangs in the upper left corner. The cursor spins with activity and the like, and if I drag it straight across I can hit the power icon in the panel and reset or shutdown.

Is this a graphics bug?

>>57297592
I'm in the same boat, how does i3 get more lightweight and retard-friendlier than LUA?

/fglt/, I'm practically retarded when it comes to linux or computers in general. I was thinking about installing ubuntu or something, but I was wondering; how can I learn more about the UI? I'm a total babby without the windows shell, and I've never really had to use the command prompt in win97 thru win8.1 (current) so I've got a lot of learning to do. Is there a /g/ recommended tutorial for babby's first?

Thanks neighbor.

>>57298052
>>57298054
Will do

>>57298064
Unity is just a really shitty DE. You can try it later but I think it shouldn't be your first introduction to linux. If you are going to try it first then don't forget to check out different DEs and distros too

>>57298064
Unity is ubuntus desktop enviornment
a desktop enviornment is a desktop GUI, like the windows shell.
There are a number of different desktop enviornments
LXDE and XFCE are extremely fast and light
KDE Is big and heavy and fancy and configurable through its gui and settings
GNOME is retarded
MATE Is gnome before it got retarded
Cinnamon is I dont know, I guess it looks good though. I hear its like windows sorta.
Ubuntu has flavors(distributions of it that come with different desktop enviornments) for LXDE, XFCE, KDE(its version of kde is buggy and broken), Gnome, Mate, and im not sure about cinnamon.
Most distros come with a desktop enviornment or let you choose what desktop enviornment you want at install.

>>57298064
>Thanks neighbor.
Fuck off Flanders
>learn how to use Unity
No, vanilla Ubuntu is the closest thing you can get to "just werk" out of the box, listen to >>57298126 and use Ubuntu MATE (for the MATE Desktop)
Read the Ubuntu section on the wiki at least to see why
Also the counterargument is that you might have a harder time following guides if it's not vanilla Ubuntu, since you may need to change things because you're using a different DE

>>57298064
Because you don't have enough replies.

Unity is special. It doesn't have a classic start menu but instead a "dash". That said, it's not hard. You just type "editor" and it shows you all programs related to editing.
The other significant thing is that all toolbars are unified into one. So, if you have your text editor selected, the bar shows File Edit etc for the text editor, if you have firefox selected, it's the firefox toolbar.
Both is intuitiv, you learn it in 10 seconds. If not, go with Cinnamon or Mate.

>>57298143
>GNOME is retarded
do they intend people to mainly use keyboard shortcuts using it.
going to activities view to change windows pissed me off so much.

What Archfags actually believe:
>https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Linux#Principles

>Simplicity

>Arch Linux defines simplicity as without unnecessary additions or modifications.

>User centrality

>Whereas many GNU/Linux distributions attempt to be more user-friendly, Arch Linux has always been, and shall always remain user-centric.

The reality:
>https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-general/2015-July/039443.html

>It has never been a minimalist distribution. Splitting packages is rare
>compared to other distributions, and dependencies aren't made optional
>whenever possible.

> [...]

>Arch has *never* been minimalist... a Linux kernel with every module
>available and every feature enabled at least when there's no non-bloat
>related cost, feature-packed/complex GNU tools, nearly all optional
>features enabled across all the packages, etc.

> [...]

>Community memes don't define the distribution, technical choices by the
>developers do. It's clearly not based on what you say it is, and *never*
>has been. It has always used significantly more disk space and a
>measurable amount of additional memory than Debian and especially Gentoo
>as a consequence of keeping things simple (again, from a development
>perspective).

>[...]

>It has also never been a distribution offering much user freedom /

>as will changing the python symlink to point to python2 instead of
>python3 even though this works on some other distributions. It doesn't
>strive to offer choices like this, and never has. It would mean a *lot*
>more complexity on the development side of things along with major

>>57298475
whats the point of a dedicated comic reader as opposed to just using an image viewer?

>>57298506
I personally use Slackware. Some anons like to spread fud about Slackware not doing automatic dependencies management, but it's really not a big deal. It's a distro that doesn't hold your hand and gives you full control because it expects you to know what you're doing. Most of the packages on slackbuilds.org have only a few dependencies you need to install that isn't in the repos save for the occasional edge case.

I can understand talking about bloat when opting to use a WM or xfce instead of KDE or gnome.
I dont understand it when talking about saving kilobytes of space or memory or whatever
I suppose 'larger attack surface for bugs and stuff' is an argument but I cant see how such dedicated attacks against you individually are realistically a part of the threat model of most people who say this, as opposed to some service they use getting hacked and dragnet mass spying, it seems irrelevant if you're not a bank or wanted by the government or storing peoples passwords or something.
Are people posting from antique hardware at their university? Or from their IOT refridgerator? Is there a hardcore military bad-dude posting from the linux on his sniper rifle?
lets talk about this without descending into calling each other autistic and retarded.

>>57298613
android is linux, but it is not GNU+Linux.
I cant think of any of those applying to a desktop image viewer like nomacs or whatever.

>>57298516
So a more lightweight arch? Does that make it more compatible to Slackware?

>>57298551
Arch is a good, convenient distro. People just need to stop with the "enjoy your bloat" and "KISS/UNIX philosophy" memes, since Arch simply isn't simple or lightweight. I guess the problem are all the newcomers who want to fell 1337 but Gentoo is too hard so they get Arch and need to tell EVERYONE and all others suck.

No, you can run as little or as much as you like on both
the actual argument from the wiki against slack though:

>There is no formal issue tracking system and no official procedure to become a code contributor or developer. The project does not maintain a public code repository. Bug reports and contributions, while being essential to the project, are managed in an informal way. All the final decisions about what is going to be included in a Slackware release strictly remain with Slackware's benevolent dictator for life, Patrick Volkerding.

thanks, this luksipc looks like something I was looking for, my question is how will the boot process look like? I have all of my linux mountpoints under one partition so won't encrypting /boot fuck something up? Or will it just be some kind of password prompt after choosing the system in grub?

No pic this time because it seems like some people just love to derail threads without any reason.

But GNU made the OS 10 years before Linux was even a thing. There are variants with kFreeBSD added, with HURD added and with Linux added. Why changing the name to one of these kernels? People who use for example Parabola/kFreeBSD surely don't want to refer to their OS as Linux.

>>57298726
Main difference is that awesome works with preset layouts while i3 allows you to build layouts on the fly.

>>57298770
I don't enter any passwords until after selecting the OS in GRUB, so my guess is the boot partition isn't ever encrypted unlike my experiences with Bitlocker

Also this maybe why conspiracy nuts go on about deleting headers and whatnot.
I'm too retarded for all that stuff though, just a dumb gaymer that should be in >>>/v/

>>57298808
>surely don't want to refer to their OS as Linux.
and why aren't people referring to them as gnu?
Outside of /g/ you hardly ever hear people calling it GNU/_____ ect.

It's mainly GNU ship has sailed at changing the name. They should have been adamant at the very start.
Now it's like the gif vs jif naming. People come off looking like austimos having a freak out.

>>57298850
Only normalfags call it Linux because they don't know much about tech. GNU/kfreebsd isn't Linux, the only unified part is GNU.

You may not like Debian but it is one of the oldest distributions with one of the biggest communities, it has the most derivatives, supports the most architectures and is overall one of the most important free software projects and it isn't backed by a company like Red Hat or SuSE, everything is done by volunteers. Not saying KDE, WINE or anyone else don't deserve donations obviously, everyone that uses or helps people use Linux is contributing.

this is no different on windows, very old programs made for their eras UI clash and look dated. Ive not seen it as much here on linux, but it didnt bother me on windows anyway
>it looks awful (right out the box)
This depends on the DE and whether your distro sets it up to look alright for you on install or not. I havnt used
KDE5 looks nicer as it comes default than modern windows I think, and every other desktop I've tried on ubuntu or antergos looks either as good or a bit better out of the box.
This is in contrast to, out of the distros I've tried, debian or void, which ship the DE mostly unchanged, and XFCE comes looking disgusting, and Mate kinda shit.

But, the ease of customizing and changing the look substantially makes that easy to fix. Just changing the color scheme and window theme from the settings manager and downloading an icons pack, and it looks fine, if no better than other modern desktops.

Not him, maybe I'm missing the point, but why using a distro where you need to compile everything? I'm not scared about compiling, I'd just be botherd by the lost time by compiling literally everything when I just really NEED 5-6 custom packages. It's not like other distros would deny creating custom packages, so I go with Arch and if I need a custom package, I compile it with my custom flags myself. That's much less time consuming than using Gentoo/Funtoo.

this is actually one of the only legitimate concerns i've heard about slackware, for the most part software comes from upstream and isn't that difficult to make packages from, but there needs to be more of a developer community and security/bug reporting for the official releases.

If you can try restarting your router after making the change.
