>3. If you have wayland, you are still going to have to run 90% of your programs on X through Xwayland.

Like with anything in Linux, it all depends on what apps you choose to use. I'm sticking within the Gnome walled garden and so far none of my applications need to use X. I was using Chromium until I realized I'd be better off with Epiphany.

Maybe wayland is more efficient, but what I meant was that X with an opengl compositor is just as smooth and responsive as wayland. Also the overhead isn't that high, embedded devices can run X easily. And their are some implemetations of X that run on arduinos.
>Like with anything in Linux, it all depends on what apps you choose to use. I'm sticking within the Gnome walled garden and so far none of my applications need to use X. I was using Chromium until I realized I'd be better off with Epiphany.
But then you have a limited selection of programs and are stuck in an ecosystem. That's even worse than Mac OSX because atleast there you have some alternatives to the default apps.

This is an issue but that's an issue just for now, eventually Wayland will be standard for everything being actively developed, I'm just hopping on the bleeding edge stop and enjoying it now. And really, Gnome 3's applications are quite nice.

>>57330494


First off, systemd is not an init system, it has an init system as part of the systemd suite. systemd is a project to build a standardised lowlevel userland for Linux. The project is pretty comprehensive and it delivers a lot of functionality under one umbrella. It does away with a lot of older, often undermaintained software packages, which were traditionally used to assemble a low level userland.

Which is where the contention comes from, as a system suite systemd is restrictive for Unix virtuosi who are used to tailor a system with wit, ingenuity, a lick and a prayer and a couple dozen of unrelated packages. systemd makes such knowledge useless.

The faction that thinks that systemd is Linux's Hiroshima, finds all the added functionality bloat, unnecessary and dangerous, as it is all under development in one project.

All the systemd jokes stem from the comprehensiveness as a low level system suite. People against it love to joke that one day systemd will write its own kernel.

There is a lot of FUD and hate going around. Some arguments do have merit, a lot of eggs in one basket is certainly true, but as with all things in life, it depends which tradeoff you prefer. Do you want a suite of well designed software, working closely together, so that system management is streamlined or do you want the complete freedom to tailor your own low level system with a lot of time tested, interchangeable components.

I have no desire to be a low level system designer, so I prefer systemd. I don't hate traditional init systems though. If a Linux system has one and I need to work with it, I'm still happy it boots and starts the necessary services.

>>57330700
sid = garbage

>>57330548
>Pic is pure conjecture, source is still open for anyone to view
Yeah but you don't think it's suspicious that a company with strong ties to the US government is trying to push systemd after the NSA failed to put backdoors in the kernel. Also there no reason why wayland should be systemd dependent, while X can run with or without systemd.
>I suggest you actually use Wayland and see for yourself.
But I have tried wayland a couple of weeks ago and It wasn't any different than my non-wayland KDE desktop, except my X programs had no compositing and teared like fuck.
>eventually Wayland will be standard for everything being actively developed,
No it won't because there are already so many programs developed in X and wont port over to wayland because X is fine. Also wayland still has many bugs to iron out, and wont run on other architechtures besides x86_64. Wayland will be dead as soon as the devolpers realize that no one will port their applications to Wayland.

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.

Linux is just the kernel. If you want to refer to the operating system just say GNU.

>>57331147
This is incorrect. I don't run any GNU "software" on my computer except GCC so it would be retarded to call it anything but Distroname/Linux

GNU created the OS 10 years before Linux was even a thing.

and of courese you'll need japanese fonts

>>57332828
Pretty great for a use it and forget about it OS. The nice DE is a plus definitely, but I mean any DE can look great with effort. Still, huge props to the elem team for actually providing something nice out of the box that actually works with complete tech illiterates. Wish ubuntu would make a radical visual change out of the box because the situation right now feels dated. Major downside though, development takes its sweet time.

I'll probably be distro hopping soon though, don't see myself moving away from elem, but nice to at least see what's going on.

>but how does bash look up a command whenever I enter one e.g. df or uname?
it goes through each directory in the environment variable $PATH, until it finds a match

Trying to be real fucking patient here anons, but this is getting nuts. For the record, I believe all OS's are a knife up the dick, the only difference is how sharp the blade is. I am not a fanboi or a troll, I just want to get shit done, and if you get in my way, you get cast aside.

Having said all that.

I have installed AVLinux, a flavor of Debian. I want to evaluate it so I can try moving away from OS X/Win7 on my next studio build. Despite this distribution being "built for audio" It didn't pick up my audio hardware. I needed to set it manually via JACK. Because why would an OS built around audio detect my audio hardware and default it? What kind of nonsense would that be?

So I point it to my soundcard, and get told I need to restart the ASLA server. Allegedly, I do this by typing "sudo /etc/init.d/asla restart". I get "command not found". I check init.d, there is no asla, there is however asla-utils.

2. Stop copy pasting random commands you find on the internet. Especially when you consult random websites, with old information. Familiarize yourself with what they do.
Just from the top of my head I can tell that didn't work because Debian uses systemd now and that's not how you restart services with it.

But muh special snowflake distro! You're right though.

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!

Publishers often refer to copying they don't approve of as “piracy.” In this way, they imply that it is ethically equivalent to attacking ships on the high seas, kidnapping and murdering the people on them. Based on such propaganda, they have procured laws in most of the world to forbid copying in most (or sometimes all) circumstances. (They are still pressuring to make these prohibitions more complete.)

If you don't believe that copying not approved by the publisher is just like kidnapping and murder, you might prefer not to use the word “piracy” to describe it. Neutral terms such as “unauthorized copying” (or “prohibited copying” for the situation where it is illegal) are available for use instead. Some of us might even prefer to use a positive term such as “sharing information with your neighbor.”
