2017 is year of Linux Desktop?

>>57542673
there will never be the year of the linux desktop
linux is a kernel, not a desktop environment

I installed Anegros, but every time I try to do anything with apt-get or sudo apt-get it doesnt work. How do I make these work again?

is there a way to have vim do syntax highlighting?

>>57544679
I guess you can have a (You). Enjoy.

What's the worst that can happen if I use gparted to check and repair a partition? My laptop won't boot into Linux Mint properly and I want to see whether the partition has been corrupted.

Does openSUSE 42.2 not have a live environment? What if I just want to test it without installing it?

>>57544721
I don't understand. I am terrible at linux, i just would like some help

>>57544754
Fine, I'll bite. I want you to try to use the command again. And this is the very important bit: I want you to read very carefully what the terminal says when it fails. After you're done reading, I want you to walk away from the computer and meditate on why it says what it says.

>>57544841
It keeps saying command not found. I googled a bit and it looks like APT comes stock with most big distros, but antegros uses pacman. Is there a way to change Antegros from pacman to APT? Google isn't revealing much in this manner.

>>57544898
That's not advisable. At that point, you should just install Debian or Ubuntu.

>>57544898
>>57545007
Also, sorry for being a bit rude. I thought your original question was bait, my bad. Have a good one, man.

>>57544898
If you want APT, use Debian or a Debian-based distro. Pacman isn't difficult to use. Pacman -S nameOfPackage will install a package, use a -R instead to remove it.

>>57544898
Why not just use Pacman? It's better than APT.

>>57545089
Thanks, sorry I'm dumb

>>57545110
>>57545103
I do not understand pacman very well and it seems likemost things that are out there on teaching linux are taught on the apt side. I don't know how to "translate" things form APT to pacman

>>57545728

Enjoy.

>>57544724
It's got going to fix itself, and if you think it's already corrupted you have nothing to lose.

Antergos comes with something similair to Synaptic. Just go to "System Tools" menu and then click "Add/remove packages" (sorry if that's not what its called, I haven't used antergos in a while)
If you can't find the package you want there, type "yaourt" then the pacakge name in the terminal.

Newfriend here.
So I'm trying to install Manjaro on the partrition I created, and after I move onto the next step thinking I set the partrition it's displays this:

"An EFI system partition is necessary to start Manjaro.

To configure an EFI system partition, go back and select or create a FAT32 filesystem with the esp flag enabled and mount point /boot/efi.

You can continue without setting up an EFI system partition but your system may fail to start."

Even after I do what it says, it greys out the option to go onto the next step.
If anyone can help me out with this I would be greatful.

s-sorry senpai I literally have no idea of linux and im just following the handbook

was a pretty fun ride to be honest, learned a lot (I think), considering the only knowledge of linux I had previous to this was that "the filesystem manages drives as folders".

now I need to get a desktop working or something

maybe will continue tomorrow

>>57546671

How do I do the following (Fedora 25):
>turn off all mouse acceleration and keep it off
>install the proprietary Nvidia driver with Wayland

>>57547584
>proprietary
REEEEEEEEEEEE

How hard was it? Trying to decide between Gentoo and Arch as my first "do it yourself" distro.

I'm trying to set up mpd as a systemd user service on a new machine and for some reason it's not working even though the same set up did on the last machine.

I have /home/me/.config/systemd/user/mpd.service but when I do 'systemctl --user enable mpd.service' it gives me 'Failed to execute operation: No such file or directory'.

The service can be started with 'systemctl --user start mpd.service' but it fails when trying to enable it.

This is the service file:

Description=Music Player Daemon
After=network.target sound.target

User=me

[Service]
EnvironmentFile=/etc/default/mpd
ExecStart=/usr/bin/mpd --no-daemon $MPDCONF

# allow MPD to use real-time priority 50
LimitRTPRIO=50
LimitRTTIME=infinity

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Also=mpd.socket

>>57547713
to be fair, not hard at all, the handbook explains everything very well.

HOWEVER

I fucked up the network configuration, I guess because of how vmware handles network, and can't find any info just yet.

Would be cool if someone knows how can I fix it

share good aliases please
I need something useful

>>57547718

systemctl daemon-reload

will reload new systemctl unit files and changes to existing ones.

>>57548538
That doesn't make any difference, still produces the same output.

>>57544609
2017 year of Linux ,
android uses, servers use it, you fags use it.

>>57549112
>Wow, so many platforms are using it, we should use it in a platform who is losing his relevance and were linux will bring virtually none advantage

Stupid question here, but I figured I'd get a more knowledgeable answer than in sqt; I have a quad-core 4th gen i7 and GTX 860m in a laptop. Would I get better battery life from a piecemeal distro like Arch or Gentoo, or from an efficiency-focused distro like Puppy? I'm on Lubuntu right now, and I can squeeze 3.5 hours or so out of it if I turn off the Nvidia card and resort to using a more efficient browser, which kinda sucks for work; I use Google Apps, so Chromium is best.
