Please avoid using the term “photoshop” as a verb, meaning any kind of photo manipulation or image editing in general. Photoshop is just the name of one particular image editing program, which should be avoided since it is proprietary. There are plenty of free programs for editing images, such as the GIMP.

- source code is managed with Jiri (written in Go), not git
- Apps coded in dart
- Has interfaces for Go, Python, Rust, ...
- Rendering is done through vulkan or opengl
- file system written in Go
- source based package manager written in Go

>>57542430
Experimental project at best. Google have a bunch of these.

>>57542533
This one seems to be far more than experimental. lot of stuffs already been done (a microkernel, a build system, a package manager, a hardware accelerated renderer, some drivers, some apps, a local file system, a distributed file system, a terminal emulator, a shell, ...)

android is problematic to google (java, mobile centric, single user centric)
linux is bad for vr (high latency)

a new os from scratch actually does make sense.

As every sane embedded system.

The Linux part will be another walled garden as barely can find anyone embedded Linux developer not to mention this microkernel with literally zero background. It would was sane in 2006, but that ship is gone and breaking backward compatibility will destroy what Google build up in the past with the Android mess.

Is this actually secure?

>>57544171
Well, Debian has lots of instructions and recommendations on their website about how to install nonfree programs and drivers, that doesn't help also.
But it's cool that the kernel comes deblobbed and if the user needs some botnet, he can add it.
Best of both worlds, I'd say.

Hey guys I'm running the Waldof release of crunchbang on my old ThinkPad R61. Well the thinkpad saysit has a bluetooth reader (because of a light with the icon). Well after googling it says use (aptitude install bluetooth) on the terminal, but it keeps giving me, Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?
What the fuck does this mean, im not a CS grad I have a non tech degree. Also how do i get my keyboard flashlight to work on an openbox based distro?

Trying to setup vga passthrough with qemu + kvm. I use the q35 machine model, drivers installed, etc. With vga arbitration enabled or disabled and emulated graphics further enabled, windows can boot in safe mode but not in normal mode (stops at the "starting windows" screen before completing the animation). With emulated graphics disabled, no video output happens.
With the pc machine model, I can get output until the boot screen with emulated graphics disabled, but then it halts. In the case of the pc model, I can't even boot in safe mode.
None of the guides seem to help. kvm=off is used. No error is reported by qemu. Guest GPU is nvidia gtx 1070, host gpu is integrated intel chip based on i965.

dmesg does show that vfio doesn't seem to map the gpu into the vm, but the gpu is properly detected in the guest and installing the driver worked fine so I don't get it.

FIXED!
Turns out that every single guide out there is completely wrong!
x-vga=on is primary vga passthrough for vfio, it is NOT vga arbitration and it is NOT generic passthrough. Disabling it allows passthrough to work without a hitch so far since I was passing my vfio-pci'd gpu, not a primary gpu.

I would suggest binding the volume up/down to your wheel button right out of the gate

Why whenever I try to install linux mint it always shows me the shuttdown buttons, all the fucking time through the whole installation.

I would like to dual-boot the core/minimal/debloated/whatever version of Ubuntu 16.10 with Windows 10.

At first I burned the Yakkety MinimalCD, intending to

sudo apt install --no-install-recommends ubuntu-desktop

, but had a frustrating and ultimately fruitless time getting WiFi (Intel WiFi 5100 AGN) working.

I now have the full Ubuntu 16.10 ISO on a bootable USB drive; is there a way I can do the minimal install with it? Using the default installer on that 'LiveCD' does not give me any such option.

Thanks in advance.

>>57550937
thank you, also is their any thing i should i as far as compatibly goes or quality

Damn the new Cinnamon version has a pretty nice feature.
When you get locked out into the lock screen it now has a music widget on the top so when I'm doing something else I can just change the music without logging in again.
On the other hand launching the music player from the music applet crashes the DE so I need to launch it with dmenu now, hopefully it's gonna be addresssed.

blobs are shipped with the vanilla kernel so they're part of it

gnu's libre linux

>>57553006
i said code, not source code. you could provide a code object file to link with the kernel without giving the source code but gplv2 forbids that. the binary blob in the kernel are pure data, often declared as a simple byte array like

char *blob = {0xAD, 0x1C, 0x88, ...};

it's not code linked to the kernel to be executed by its environment.

>>57553077
Install Debian, it comes with deblobbed kernel by default and if you need a blob (for example for your wifi), you enable it explicitly. Otherwise: GNU Linux-libre.

Hip as fuck.

>>57548527
if you want to learn about linux compile it, read the documentation, read about modules, read about how it started and changed over time and about the current code guidelines. If you want to learn about openVPN install it, read the manual and use it, if you want to learn about SSH install openSSH, read the manual and documentation and use it. You see the pattern. a few other good reads are the suckless project and GNU + the FSF and FSFE, maybe a bit about licenses.
for specific fun projects try some sort of secure home automation system, which is pretty advanced or setting up your own home server.

I've tried installing i3 on many different works-out-of-the-box distros.

With Debian and a few others I lose all of this (everything still works when I boot in to my default DE) and I always have heaps of trouble getting it all back.

Is there some kind of magic script or daemon list I just have to get running when I start i3?
Why does i3 just work on Ubuntu (several flavors) and Fedora but with other distros nothing runs when I start i3?

Correct, you can use a net install or CD/DVDs.

There is no easy to obtain single complete installation image.

You either need good enough internet to do the net install or have 8 blank CDs laying around.

On top of that, most wifi drivers are not supported because Debian does not package any proprietary software, further complicating the install.

Hi /flt/, I've been using Mint for the last 12 months and I like it, but I'm ready to move on to a proper OS now. If I were reinstalling on Windows, I would back up my file system so that I can restore from it in case I fuck up/want to go back to what I had. What's the equivalent process on Linux?
