well, pacman is lighting fast, AUR is a blessing, changing DEs has been a lot less painful than with debian-based systems from my expirence.
how come you think arch's lightweightness is a meme? my old ubuntu system came with over 1300 packages on installation, most of which I've never used and it used ~800mb RAM after booting. my arch system had ~300 packages (with everything essential such as xorg and a DE installed) and used 370mb after booting. now I'm up to 700 packages and still only 400mb RAM usage after booting.

arch users think a package count of 300 compared to ubuntu with 2000 is better but they are wrong.

arch is a meme, let me tell you why

the slogan "a simple, lightweight linux distro"

a) it's not simple, it's simple for the developers, not for the users. users need to fix a lot of shit, install a lot of shit, configure a lot of shit to make arch usable

b) it's not lightweight, the vanilla arch kernel comes (because simplicity) with ALL modules enabled by default, you can change it, yes, but noobs just wount. then people think a blank base install is more lightweight than a fully blown ubuntu install, but at the end it looks like this:

>ubuntu
2000k packages, mostly only binaries, some -dev packages

>arch
300 packages, but since arch doesn't package splitting (it includes source, headers, docs, all languages, etc), you end up with 1 package which is twice as huge as 2 ubuntu packages

so, consider installing a fully blown de on arch and one on ubuntu, and then do some math

and that's the whole meme about arch
>simple and lightweight
but actually complicated and bloated

>not git cloning shit yourself
I did that on debian
After a month I had 100-200 packages cloned and was regularly rebuilding them by hand

At that point I decided to say “fuck it” and switched to gentoo. Life is so much simpler now that I can simply let my package manager worry about managing packages.

antergos is cancers, you know what antergos is?

it's an installer for arch, which overwrites any hint of "arch" in the base with "antergos"

arch is not a meme if you consider how stable it is for a rolling distro. Arch is a meme when you realize that the developers understand KISS as "we don't have to do so much work because the end user will" instead of "lets make simple and lightweight automated tools to keep the system installation, administration and usage simple and lightweight"

I think you never developed a distro. What Arch debs do is simply insane like defaulting python3 to python and other crap no sane developer would do ever.
>no breakage
I agree that "Arch broke X" is a meme since it happend only once, but there are lots of other rolling distros which are more save than arch, since arch doesn't provide any bug listing or checking option next to the webside for possible bugs before uprgrading.

no the point of arch not having an installer is devs being angry about people spamming forums not knowing how to do basic stuff.
They could literally make a good, automated and simple to use distro that has all the latest software and is really the best choice for a desktop user,
but they instead chose autism and put retarded slogans behind it because they like their secrit club :^)

Dual booting xubuntu and windows here.

I no longer feel like wasting space with windows. I can do anything I would want on a virtual machine and I have already tried this. Shit's on UEFI though. How would I go around just removing windows without leaving shit behind?

Also given that my secondary hard drive uses an NTFS partition, should I convert that since I no longer need to access it through Windows?
>>
>>57367785
Depends. You could see Windows like a gaming console and handle it like tha<t: Have a drive, boot to it to play some AAA windows only games, but do your actual computing on GNU/Linux

If you want to drop your Win drove completly, just dd some nice stuff to it like a backup of your GNU/Linux hdd.

Can somebody explain to a newfag what the systemd issue is?

Here is what I understand, systemd and SELinux have had some of its code contributed by the NSA, and it also is increasingly responsible for more of the functions of the OS, right?

Is this not both a good and bad thing then? On the one hand they have the capacity to put some sneaky code in there, but on the other, wouldn't they make the software that they are going to use for themselves more secure?

someone pls explain what systemd and selinux even is to this nigger

>>57367688
>i think that mounting devices manually. running pacstrap and then manually creating fstab is somewhat hard and makes me a special haxxor

I'm not young enough to use arch anymore, last time i installed it was 8 years ago.
>>
>>57367825
As a newfag you shouldn't worry about systemd. Systemd is free software, which means it's secure and anyonce can and does audit it. Don't fall for the NSA memes.

The actual discussion is a technical/philosophical regarding the UNIX prilosophy, which asks programs to do ONE thing an do it RIGHT. Since systemd does many tasks as one huge entity, many people aren't comfy with it. That's what all the discussions are about.

debian netinst cli installer is pretty comfy and needs less place (247 MB) than the arch iso (797).
It includes a gui installer and a text based one that doesnt need X running and is lightweight,
also it has an "expert install" that lets you do things manually just like the arch installer.
Why are you using such bloated install disk?
Why is it so featureless if its so heavy?
Fite me.

there is little reason to use it over any other major distro. Only one i can see is "i need new packages" and you can manually build what you need if your base system is old. Short cli commands to install/upgrade packages can be set uo easily with aliases. You can rice on any distro, even windows. No reasons to be honest.

fedora, ubuntu, mint are better ways to start them off

honestly telling them to install arch is just a step above "install gentoo"

Arch was pretty quick to join other girls in the massive bukkake party of redhat devs that is systemd.

If you need new software you can be easly satisfied with ubuntu PPAs, or debian sid. |
Fedora has quick releases that ship with new software too,
but i cant say much good about their stability or loads of officially supported software.

I dont know how is switching DEs on a debian system painful, just use apt-get install task-some-desktop.
On ubuntu you have x/l/k/ubuntu(-gnome/mate)-desktop metapackages that even tweak some things like plymouth/grub themes and stuff.
And you can install core desktop packages if you hate bloat.

Needing the latest newest software is a sign of baby duck syndrome related to you quitting windows for something that works different to be honest. Like:
>I cant literally do any work if my libreoffice is 5.1 instead of 5.2.
while most normal people use pretty old software, or stable versions for work because it wont mess around with their work flow or compatibility.
Also with stability in mind you can use package managers to keep the system secure with older packages so people wont have to do this manually.
Arch devs literally just throw mainstream at users because its not their job to patch things, unless it's kernel or something.

Get Ubuntu. Don't fall for any other memes like Mint or other trash. Get Ubuntu. Shit company but stuff works and holds your hand on your first steps. You can literally use it without any GNU/Linux knowlege.

You can boost your knowlege by using the commandline as much as you can. (The OP has a nice Shell pasta at the copypasta collection link), also the book "the linux commandline" may help.

Another tip: Use Ubuntu, don't distrohop because you thin Distro X looks nice, instead make your distro look nice (and realize that all distros are basically the same thing, only the package managing and the philosophy differes)

My 2 cents. when you feel save enough, you should leave ubuntu since canonical is a faggot company and go debian or arch or whatever you like.

how fucking cool is that mate.

Well i cant say i can help you much. You can try configuring sane manually or something but i never done it. Also you can try booting an ubuntu live usb to see if the scanner works there. Usually just having hplip + simple-scan did the trick for me in ubuntu/fedora/debian, but my f4180 works even if i put the usb cable in my anus i guess.

you can do that with firefox, you need to toggle "play DRM" in firefox settings. And until netflix fixes they site you still need to change ff user agents.

Bit of a newfag question, but here goes:

I'm using Ubuntu Gnome 16.10, and I want to reassign some of my keys into media keys since I don't have any. I'm assuming that one of the F1-12 keys would be best for this, but which ones. Which F keys aren't used for any particular purpose in Ubuntu or common applications like Firefox?

>>
>>57369433
Arch is a nice distro, seriously. I'd say it's the step 2 afer Noobuntu. It's hand-holding thanks to the wiki, the AUR and just works, and because of the so called "kernel bloat" arch works on everyone's hardware without jumping though hoops. People just need to stop falling for the "simple and lightweight" meme and everything is fine.
>>
>>57369461

>thinking there's a path of distributions
You're contributing to the problem yourself.
There is no path. Normal people inform themselves from the start about what the crucial features of a distribution are and choose based on that. Not on some myth "path". Only idiots think that way and you're one of them.
>>
>>57369461
Then why does Arch use said slogan?
>>
>>57369496
It's a community meme, not related to Arch Linux. The website (wiki, etc) can be edited by anyone who has the right privs and is part of the community.
Arch Linux is meant to be simple, not KISS, not minimal, not lightweight, not nigger. It's just simple and works, that's what Arch is.
>>
>>57369485
maybe not a "parth" per say but there is definitely a trend.

jump head first into a more complex distro then realize you dunno wtf you're doing and go to an easier one.

&

start with an easier to use one then switch to a more complex one when you get more comfortable.

not that X is more complex than Y but more CLI oriented distros can be overwhelming for new users.
>>
>>57369485
You're mayeb right, but let's get real: Most people start with Ubuntu, come to 4chan and want to level up and Arch is what they end up with, because screenfetch and the nice looking desktop says so.

>replacing \ with / in a file with vim:

>WHO THE FUCK THOUGHT THIS A GOOD IDEA?
Writing \\ for \ and \/ for / isn't unintuitive, it's necessary. \ is the escape character and / is the delimiter.

Why is it like this (besides necessity)? Because when Vim's ancestor editor ex was developed, teleprinters were being used for input and output on computers. There was no monitor, so you had to print the lines that you wanted to view. Modems were slow and memory was low, which meant that things needed to be as terse and efficient as possible.

Besides that, all regex is insane looking, not just Vim's. But regardless, it's still incredibly useful. Regex is so useful that it's just stupid to not use it because you find it unintuitive or ugly.

Do you avoid all regex?

Oh shit, I didn't know you could do that. You can actually set the delimiter to any non-alphanumeric character. I'm gonna use this way more often.
:%s;\\;/ is way easier to read. Or even :%s+\\+/

Take that, >>57367280

Systemd is an init program. When Linux sets itself up and is ready to for userland to do its thing, it calls whatever program has been set up to be the init. This program is given the process id 1. This program starts everything else. PID 1 doesn't have to be systemd but it usually is in practice.

Being PID 1 means you know a lot about what's going on in a system. So that's where a lot of stuff ties in at. So if you want to start a service or stop one that's a logical place to look. If you want a program to run at boot that's where you go.

Your file picker should have something like this
If you press the leftmost marked, you enable/disable icons.
If you use the rightmost slider (or ctrl+wheel) you can change the size of the thumbnails.
Is those options available?

Wrong.

pid1 is one small component of systemd. Maybe 1% at best. It's about a hundred lines or so long.

SELinux is mandatory access control. Think of it as file permissions on steroids. Say you have a http server. It is designed to send any file in your http folder over the internet. Well what if you have a bug that lets it send any file to a person who knows how to exploit that bug? Then any file which has a general read permission set will be able to be retrieved by this user. That a lot of stuff that you wouldn't generally think yeah I'd be cool with that being on my web page when you set the read permission.

A SELinux security context is usually implemented and associated with httpd. The user httpd is not allowed to access without the httpd read context. I forget what it's actually named. So when httpd, which is run under a user called httpd, tries to fill that request by the guy with the exploit the SELinux jumps in and denies it.

SELinux can get very complicated in what it allows and doesn't. There are all kinds of access control schemes and it can do them. The government classification schemes and compartmentalized information schemes mirror these access control models.

This is why the NSA helped build this in to Linux. The law requires them to implement these access control schemes on their computers and they use Linux a lot. Particularly they use Red Hat a lot.

So spy1 wants to access stuff on aliums in file aliumslol.txt. Law requires alium clearance and need to know. So the file contexts are set up to require the alium clearance and at least one of the reasons someone would need to know. spy1's account has been assigned alium clearance and need to know 3 (cuz the truth is out there mang). SELinux compares this with the file and lets him access the file.

then you have hope. You can mess around in xinput --list-props 14 for it and see if they change something, also what the fuck is the UNKNOWN thing you have there. If it's listed in xinput it means its supported by the system, there must be a configuration error. Also you may want to try installing a new kernel from the backports repo:
https://backports.debian.org/Instructions/
follow the instructions there, then install the 4.7 kernel with apt but add -t jessie-backports. I wont be able to help you though.

It's doing so many things so much better that it is killing off all the poor little programs. This shits all over traditional Linux philosophy which is get a bunch of little programs from a bunch of different people and try to make it hard to use while being able to technically claim it works.

In particular, SELinux implements “read down, write up” policy which is an important concept in the field of espionage and data clearance.

For example, an agent with SECRET clearance is able to read data at lower clearance level (e.g. PUBLIC) but is not able to “write” data at that clearance level. (Any data produced by a SECRET agent is automatically forced to be SECRET or higher, so there's no risk of accidental exposure)

Similarly, an agent with SECRET clearance is not able to read anything with TOP SECRET clearance (for obvious reasons), but he is able to communicate data upwards.

Where and when data transitions clearance boundaries (e.g. SECRET -> PUBLIC) is well-defined and well-guarded by specific data release policies.

SELinux was essentially purpose-built to enable these kinds of semantics for arbitrary files on the filesystem - if I'm logged in as a user with SECRET clearance then it is impossible for me to create a file at PUBLIC clearance no matter what I try (which is why it's called *mandatory* access controls rather than *discretionary* access controls - with discretionary access controls I could just do `chmod o+r FILE` and violate the “no write down” policy).

It also has support for grouping these hiearachies into organizational units, so you can have multiple distinct operational groups within your premises operating with independent clearance levels.

QSettings (which kde is based on) means you write
[catagory]
entry=value


So if the catagory is there, write it under it, if it isn't, write it yourself.

[KFileDialog Settings]
Previews=true

should do it.

So first time back on XFCE in a very long time (switched when Plasma went stable on Arch way back). I want a bit more finite control of my application window list (Chromium does not follow the icon theme with the default applet). Dockbarx is the way to go it seems, but the problem appears to be that the xfce4 dockbarx plugin has not been updated since September 2015, whereas Dockbarx has had steady updates.

Trying to use the plugin nets me a blinking section on my taskbar, and that's it (standalone dockbarx runs fine of course). Is there a fix for this issue with the plugin short of finding a build from Sept 2015 and compiling it myself?

I don't even use Arch for lightweightness. I use it because I like bleeding edge software.
>>
>>57367340
I like the granular control I get with Arch. I also like having bleeding edge software. The only issue I've ever run into updating is I once installed the non dkms drivers for my wireless card so I had to sneaker-net the drivers (changed to dkms, so I didn't lose wireless upon update).
The myths of Arch being unstable are very untrue. It can be unstable if you have some stupid as fuck config probably but if you can read and write configs properly you're not gonna break shit like idiots on here like to claim happens.

No. Uninstall memebuntu and install gentoo if you want to be able to do things as trivial as that without the whole OS telling you to fuck off because it doesn't listen to you.
>>
>>57367340
'simple' and 'lightweight' with regard to arch is a complete meme. Hell, it even comes with systemd by default, the antithesis of simple or lightweight.
However, it has the AUR. The AUR is full on unstable crap, but when you want to install niche software, there's a package on the AUR for it, even if that software was revealed an hour ago and only 5 people in the world know about it. That alone is a valid reason to use arch.

On the other hand, never believe the archtards' memes about arch being stable and not breaking X with every single update. They're so retarded they don't know that software on GNU doesn't magically get reloaded when an update happens, and since they never restart their meme machines, they never realize their X has been broken for years. Of course, they notice when everything else breaks with every other update, but since it's every OTHER update instead of every update, they don't bother acknowledging that.

Well, that's one group of archinbreds anyway, the other is trying to justify fighting their OS of choice every day, denying reality as much as possible. "X only broke 5 times today, that's nothing!" they say, "You want stability? Enjoy your decade-old packages!" they cry.

Also don't fall for the arch derivative memes (such as manjaro), they're even worse than arch in every respect.

Honestly, Gentoo is the only GNU OS worth using in 2016. Of course you need something like ubuntu for the babbies for obvious reasons, but Gentoo is the most stable while having access to the second most packages (arch is the only one that beats it). Moreover, it can seamlessly provide stable or bleeding edge packages without having to turn the entire system unstable like you would in binary distros, and use flags mean you don't have to manually edit install scripts like in arch (or pray as in other distros) to use mate-gtk2 instead of mate-gtk3, for example.
