/fglt/ - Friendly GNU/Linux Thread

stallman is not a philosophically pure person. he follows his ideals when convenient, and ignores them or slightly alters them when the conflict isn't worth it.

stallman is an egoist in denial, afraid of admitting that he just wants some fucking source code instead of a world where he has to rely on other people because he knows he wouldn't get it that way.

his system has some practical merits but his attempts at creating moral justifications are completely pathetic and nonsensical. how low do you have to be to have to make up bullshit "oughts" when you can just say "it would be fucking better"?

This thread will be friendly.

Reminder:
People that what to get things done and do real work use windows.

Linus writes beautiful code. He has published some side projects that he wrote all on his own and the code is just wonderful. He also lives in the real world while still maintaining his open source ideals and supporting himself through his work.

RMS is basically a homeless loser who hasn't made any real contributions in the last 20 years. He is still super butthurt that Linux beet HURD (but hey, HURD just got basic sound support in 2016!) and basically tries to claim Linux because Linus used GCC and the GNU coreutils. He survives on the charity of others and speaking engagements where he spouts his insane, paranoid, philosophy. Basically he won't be happy until all the programmers are homeless hackers like him and all the companies are shut down. How people are supposed to support themselves and their families in that scenario aren't things he has to deal with because he is basically a permanent grad student. He does make some good points about privacy, but for him, there is no middle ground. Anything that may reduce your privacy even the slightest bit (like movie recommendations on Netflix) is evil according to him, and must be destroyed. In a lot of ways he show classic signs of mental splitting, which is a classic symptom of mental illness. To top it off, when he does write code, he does so in the style of the awful GNU style guide which is a crime against humanity IMHO.

So, in a nutshell:
He's a bird-fucking, self-absorbed, power hungry, toe jam eating pedophile that thinks everything should be free and everyone should be forced to share, who looks like he hasn't showered in years so as to create a static shield around his body to protect from aliens. He also created an OS without a kernel because he's basically Steve Jobs gone communist. Oh, and he calls himself doctor though he holds no PhD.

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.

You can select only 1 profile, so if you select a hardened profile and want a graphic desktop too, you need to enable the USE flags needed for a functional desktop systekmmanually in config files which can be a pain in the ass.

Such weak "proof".
I see it stems down to user competence yet again

But you keep whining.

Python 3 is the latest version.
Why would i use an old version?
Admin/devs need to update their scripts to v3. That simple

If python devs wanted 2.7 to be the main version, they would not have created 3.0, would they have not?

1. install openrc
2. reboot your system using the long command it tells you to use
3. no further actions necessary, it's fully integrated. familiar debian tools like invoke-rc.d and update-rc.d woks as intended and of course you can use rc-service rc-update and rc-status like in gentoo

>>57312681

you call python3 with python3, but arch devs are too retarded to realize that python3 is incompatible to python, so they break all older programs because of their incompetence

>>57312681
>Then why did they create v3 if it is not ment to be used?

Did you read what I linked? python will eventually be a link to python3 but Python still recommends linking it to python2, that's why all the distros (except Arch) make python a link to python2. The Arch devs enforce their views on their users.

>>57312763
If you have no idea about python, don't post.
It IS incompatible, that's why it's called python3 instead of just updating the old link "python" like they did it from v1-2.7

>>57312798
Anon, if it was incompatible with v1 and v2, why did they call it python v3 and not python-next-1.0-1?

>>57312779
do you use ADSL by any chance? download speed with ADSL gets low if you use up all your upload bandwidth. Try setting up a global upload limit while there are active downloads.

Also, try a "legal" torrent, like libreoffice, gimp or a linux distro like debian. They all offer torrent downloads with plenty of seeds and shit. Check your speed with them.

>>57312837
>een seeding like 150+ torrents for last 72 hours. And it is adsl

That's the problem. Limit your upload (below the 80% of your total upload) while you download.

>>57312837
So the UN faked the "war" in the 90s. As I suspected.

>>57312814
Example:

python -m http.server 8080
This is actually Python3, the command works only on arch because following the standard (like on every other distro) you call it
python3 -m http.server 8080

This is Python (all versions below 3):
python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8080
It works on all distros except Arch, Arch users need to call it:
python2 -m SimpleHTTPServer 8080

Enjoy your incompatibility and broken programs.

Sounds like my dad is gonna be bringing me a Compaq Armada 1500c he found. Never dealt with anything this old or weak. Best distro to throw on there? I'm not sure if hardware support for something so old is hard to find. I'm comfortable with Arch, but I've never installed Gentoo. If that were the best choice (doubtful due to compiling on ancient hardware being obviously slow), I'd be okay installing Gentoo. No experience with puppy/damnsmall/alpine either, but whatever you guys think is a good option, I can look into.

Weakest x86 machine I've used before this one is probably an Asus Eee PC 900. Not the most old thing, but it had a sub-1GHz celeron CPU. Still ran regular old Ubuntu pretty well, though. I'm sure its SSD helped with that.

It looks to me like you have hinting set on ≥medium. try light. also check your subpixel font rendering if its RGB.

It looks a little better, thanks for the advice. The fonts in Firefox still look terrible though. Do I have to change a setting in Firefox or do something else?

>>57314081
If you can do it then you don't need a shitty generator which makes who knows what kinds of dumbass results to do it, especially since it's such a trivial task.

>>57314168
'oi' 'mate' just use infinality

>>57314043
AHAHAHAHA! Gentoo-fag flown the cuck out!

>>57314184
Alright, which font style should I use? Ubuntu, Windows, OSX? OSX seems to have pretty good rendering.

>>57314213
See
>>57314112

>>57314251
OSX is nice, I think

>>57314168
Firefox's font config is usually compiled by the package maintainer, so it either gets the fontconfig from the os or uses some settings that is preset in the package. So Firefox can be problematic. Can i ask you what distro are you using?
Also try what >>57314117 posted. This helps on fedora, but requires you to install freetype-freeworld from rpmfusion repo, i cant tell whats the package name on other OS , its libfreetype6 on debian/ubuntu i think.

>>57312094
that comment is awesome.

So is this thread going to be another "xxx is a meme" thread? seems like people use to ask questions on these

>>57314321
I'm using Devuan, but installed Infinality config so It seems to have fixed the font rendering, and the rendering in the terminal

This looks a bit better. Thanks for the help everyone, Infinality was a life saver!

>>57314346
strange, i never had problems with the fontconfig on debian. I mean except setting hinting to light and subpixel rendering to RGB, because Debian's default is medium/grey-scale.

>>57314360
It works in firefox too, right? You might have to compile firefox yourself if it doesn't, not too sure about that though

>>57314386
Yep, firefox looks a lot better. I opened a random article on Wikipedia to check

>>57314360
from what i read on wiki.debian setting a global /etc/fonts/local.conf like >>57314117 suggested would also be sufficient if you didn't want to install packages (they say you shouldn't need to recompile anything). But if infinality works fine for you that's ok.

Amarican English isn't a world language; it's English. Go back to school.

Listen up, you ignorant assholes...there's no right or wrong way to spell it.

It was originally "colour", but early Americans decided that the "u" was unnecessary, so they changed it to "color". What's so wrong about that...they thought it made a lot of sense. And what's wrong with the original spelling...obviously that's the way the Brits liked it!

I can't believe some of the postings on here...with the Brits calling us "lazy" and "stupid" for changing the spelling of a word, and with us calling them ridiculous because their version has an "extra letter"...for Pete's sake, it's a fucking WORD.

Language evolves over time, so deal with it and stop bitching about insignificant things, like everyday language. There's much more important stuff going on out there...
"Color" or "colour"...it's the same word either way.

ITT: amerifats can't spell

>>57314634
Who's Pete?

>>57314634
It doesn't matter since nobody except americans speak american english. If you're on the internet, you speak english, so "colour" is correct.

>>57314604
But that can't be true since no literate person writes it that way. Also every single spellchecker I've ever used marks the retarded spelling 'colour' as mistake which is totally justified since it is just that, a mistake.

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!
