To the mod who deleted the previous thread:

>>57446081

Does i3 use tags? As in you can toggle one on and off?

What are the main fundamental differences between similar distros?
For example, what are the differences between CentOS and Debian?
Is GNOME any different on either of them?

THAT.

>>57446413
>level of SJW allowed
whats a distro with the lowest?

>>57446406
The main difference is the package manager and the modifications (if any) they make to upstream software when they package it and then there's the base system and how it's setup, the defaults and other small things.

>Is GNOME any different on either of them?
If it's the same version it will be mostly the same on all distributions.

>>57446424
Hard to say. But there's one distro that's infested with SJW beyond danger level

1. Respects your freedom first and foremost, according to a social contract.

2. Allows you to knowingly opt-in to non-free software, if you want/need it.
3. Stable by default.

Does Debian come with a boot manager when installing?
I.E. Can I set up dual boot while installing Debian?

>>57446510
Reminder, No one gives a fuck and go shill elsewhere.

>>57446510

>>57446528
Yeah, it installs grub and has a thing called os-prober which finds other OS's partitions and adds them to grub. It's all done automatically on install, and can be easily configured afterwards.

What do? I tried everything I could think of to debug PM debugging, I tried my distro's irc channel but they didn't have anything to say. Google doesn't help. Is there anywhere else I can't ask if no-one here knows what I should be doing next?

>>57446544
When debiantards say 'stable', they mean 'doesn't change' and not 'doesn't break'.

>>57446554
probably dumb but how much swap do you have?

>>57446559
16GB (same as memory). Note that if I didn't have enough swap, I wouldn't be able to hibernate in the first place - the image would just be restored immediately with a message in the logs. Right now, the only log messages are get are 'success' across the board.

>>57446510
(You) forgot to mention the retarded package manager

>>57446544
>>57446558
>When debiantards say 'stable', they mean 'doesn't change' and not 'doesn't break'.
When a package changes, those changes are more likely to cause issues/bugs. By 'stable', I mean just that: stable. The packages aren't perfect or without bugs, but they typically have far less bugs compared to newer packages because they've gone through a long period of testing and usage. They also receive security updates for critical bugs.

source: https://debian-handbook.info/browse/stable/sect.release-lifecycle.html

>>57446580
Apt isn't amazing, but it's perfectly adequate. What's your problem with it?

>>57446564
sorry senpai, that's the only thing I could think of off the top of my head. Just in the slim chance but 16gb should be way more than enough.

Too bad the exact opposite is true. The 'stable' in debian means every package is a buggy unusable mess, and the bugs will never ever be fixed.

Parrot 3.2:
>This new version comes after a long while due to some buggy packages in the Debian Testing repository that we were forced to fix by our own (it’s about the latest GTK updates that broke the MATE interface).
This is the typical situation in debshit land: everything's broken and people have to fix that shit themselves because shit's NEVER EVER getting fixed.

Debian adds NOTHING to the Linux community except for an SJW hugbox. It gave Linux absolutely ZERO new projects. What did debian ever do? Developing/contributing to BTRFS? Snapper? Kcraft/Kernel hotpatching? FreeDesktop? GNOME? KDE? Wayland? Mir? Snaps? Flatpak? LXC containers? OpenZFS? OBS? Convergence? KVM? High-end Xeon (or instanbul) support? GRO? Systemd-ui/kcm? KIWI?
What DID debian give back to the Linux community in all these years?

On that same note though, Slackware is even more trash. At least debian gave birth to the far superior Ubuntu, it has negative contribution to the Linux community.

Slackware gave nothing bad but unlike debian, it's there to bitch and moan about Systemd - that's ALL what Slackware is good for. Unlike debian, Slackware is THE bloat of the Linux community.

Can someone tell me what this is saying?

I dont know much about linux, but I have a ubuntu server computer running Plex.
I have nothing but Plex installed.

sdb1 is my external hard drives with all my movies on it. Its formatted in NTFS.

I manually mount it every time I reset the server.

Is there malware on the system?

>>57447120
>Its formatted in NTFS.
That's your problem. Use ext4.

>>57447127
it doesn't matter, while ntfs sucks, you can mount it perfectly fine

>>57447120
1. There's no malware in your system
2. Runs fsck. Although I don't know if it works with NTFS
3. Next time use ext4 and systemd-automount for less pain in the ass

>>57447141
Thanks.

Server has been running for months and usually doesnt show anything.
I tried to play a movie that was corrupt and it refused to play, went and opened up the server and it was showing this.

This hard drive was on a windows plex which is why its in NTFS. Its been a whole lot less hassle and runs way better in ubuntu server. Ill look into ext4 when I upgrade my hard drive.

>>57447120
ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media/movies
or
mount -t ntfs /dev/sdb1 /media/movies

It doesn't know what filesystem it is so it tries a few.

You can also use cp instead of dd, for example, cp /dev/sdb /dev/sdc which works exactly like dd but you don't have to specify the block size.

I got to the point while installing Debian when it asked if I wanted to install any extra stuff along with the core system.
I pressed enter thinking it would tick a box but it just continued with the install.
Did I miss anything important? Is there a way to get any of it back later?

Wouldn't that only use one drive (sda)?

That looks like the LVM on LUKS method from the arch wiki, also tried with it and after the installation couldn't boot because root was inside the LVM and never prompted for password.

>>57447784
You need to add crypt_root= root= and dolvm to the grub cmdline. If you still have the install, try it by pressing 'e' at the grub prompt and adding at least dolvm at the end for the kernel line.
However, your initrd also needs to have lvm and luks support.

Also yes, that's one disk. I don't think you can use a second disk in the same pv but maybe you can look around and there's a way to do it.

>>57447833
Nevermind, I figured out how you'd do it. Of course it's one disk per physical disk, but you can

vgcreate vg disk1 disk2

I've been doing it with systemd-boot instead of grub because for some reason with grub the drive doesn't even get recognized as bootable by the BIOS, it goes straight to the USB or "no bootable media found".

The point is that freedom is prioritized. Debian is 100% free by default, and the user only enables and uses non-free/proprietary if they want it or need it.
>Bullshit. Debian stable ships with decades old KDE bugs. It also has some distro specefic bugs in OpenSSL

Well, it was one of the earliest distros (if not the first) to create a solid, easy to use distribution with most of the attributes I've listed above. The quality of the distro shows in its popularity and longevity.
>At least debian gave birth to the far superior Ubuntu, it has negative contribution to the Linux community.
Ubuntu is just Debian++, powered by Canonical, a single entity.

I'll admit that Debian isn't PERFECT. I just think it's the best overall for all the previously listed reasons. If you don't care for those reasons, or if a different distro works better for your needs, then by all means use it.

>>57450158

First off, ask yourself what those "terminal commands" are. Hint: they're mostly just simple programs located in a directory that's in your PATH.

Your hardware buttons are, I assume, keyboard buttons. So what you want is to create a shortcut which runs a certain program. One of the MOST COMMON tasks you can want.

tl;dr: yes, assign a shortcut to it.

I understand a rt kernel implies greater latency in deliveries under load but addresses high priority tasks in a way that my guests can be tuned to prioritize their own CPU time over the host's I/O latency.

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.

What are the other options? Hibernation is known to work on ubuntu, but there doesn't seem to be a way to move the ubuntu kernel sources to gentoo and compile them, as even the -source packages do not seem to actually contain complete sources.

What I need at the minimum is:
-drives, cpu, mobo, screens, keyboards, mice... support
-pci passthrough (kvm + qemu) support
-ability to hibernate without hanging the system
-cancerefi support
-intel integrated gpu support
Even if performance is shit I can just move the workload to the vm (though I'd rather not when viable), but if the hardware plain doesn't work, it's another issue.

But if you're determined to not use systemd, you'll have to suck it up and accept that you're not going to be able to hibernate.

I tend to like a more traditional graphical experience, plus I don't want to dick around customizing shit for a few hours just to hate it later. It's the best productivity wise but it's not really my thing i guess. so far my biggest complaint is the gnome launcher, it's like mission control but shittier.

After switching from windows I just realised I have no AV on mint or the ubuntu distros I'm trying out. I think. I figure I don't need some always running AV because hurr derp the best AV is common sense and linux isn't targeted like windows. but are there still one time scanners I should worry about like MWB or spybot?

>>57455238
The only scanner I know of is clamav.

>>57455286
is it really needed? I'm pretty careful with browsing. But I still download a lot of more obscure [spoiltext]anime[/spoilerd] torrents as well as a ton of P2P music sharing on soulseek/nicotine.
