Linux is cuckold communist trash. BSD is not cucked and is pro white and not controlled by kikes.

/g/ really has become crap, hasn't it.

How to I execute programs in linux? just got my first distro and I can't even figure out how to install steam.

>>57956833
we're preparing for christmas break

>>57956854
<packagemanager> <install switch> steam

I've been setting up CWM, and whenever I close the laptop lid, the window manager is frozen when I open it up again. I can still type in a terminal if it was open, but I cant move anything, invoke the wms menu by clicking the desktop, etc. This only happens when the lid has been shut for a while, but it happens very reliably with cwm, only some of the time with openbox.
If its relevant, this is on debian testing, on a thinkpad x230t, and im starting it in tty2.

>>57956738
Can't argue with that

>>57956814
That would be GNUshit
Linux is right wing. Use it with musl libc and busybox to avoid communist GNUshit.
BSD is not controlled by kikes though and is also fine.

>>57956900
so what would be the exact command in Fedora?

>>57956995
Find out what your package manager, then run man <packagemanager> to find your <install switch>. Then run the given command.

You arent going to get anywhere if you cant even learn how to use your package manager

I don't have a laptop so I can't be of much help. IF i was you I'd just close cwm before closing the lid. You acn restore firefox if you quit like that.

welp I installed RPM which apparently has steam, but it said "error: unable to find a match" when i tried to install steam

>>57957267
>>57957146
>I installed RPM
you're trolling arent you?

>>57957359
that's what this said
https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Steam_under_Linux#Fedora

>>57956995

sudo dnf install steam

You may need to add a repository for it first though. RPM Fusion or United RPMs has it I believe.

>>57957385
Did it update afterwards, then?
https://admin.rpmfusion.org/pkgdb/package/nonfree/steam/
Its in the nonfree repos.

>>57957385
>>57957267

--Enable the repositories for RMP fusion (non-free)

sudo dnf install --nogpgcheck http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-24.noarch.rpm

--then

 sudo dnf install steam

And this is the free RPM fusion repo in case you wan't to enable it too.

sudo dnf install --nogpgcheck http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-24.noarch.rpm

>>57957550
so I have to update it every time I add a repo?

>>57957630
No

What is the best distribution for viewing anime?

>>57957759
Arch because bleeding edge mpv.

>>57957759
Absolutely anything. Every single distro can easily compile the latest mpv version. Debian-based distros have repos with the latest mpv nightlies, while Arch-based distros can automatically compile it using the AUR mpv-git. However any other distro can basically download mpv-build and run that so it's not really a difference.

>>57957623

On Fedora 24 and I can't seem to get video thumbnails to display no matter what, I've tried:

>setting the thumbnail limit in the file manager I'm using

>clearing the thumbnail cache

>restarting the file manager

>trying a different file manager, nemo/thunar

none of these solutions have worked, this problem persists no matter what media player I have the default set to. (VLC, MPV, etc) am I missing codec plugins or something?

>>57957767
So is mpv the best for anime?
>>57957780
Which distro has the best anime support? Any distro that has the latest mpv then? Which would be any, according to you.

>>57957834
Oh shit. Maybe it's because that is the repo for 24.

Try changing the address to. Or you could just add it by clicking the link in your browser.

>>57957908

Yup. Any distro is fine.

>>57957939
Arch

why is

 ls -1 

so comfy?

>>57957884
thanks m8

why is installing software so fucking difficult on linux though?

>>57958031
It's just Fedora. It's because they don't include nonfree programs in their repos. Most distros you would just install steam directly from their own repos. As easy as typing "install steam" basically.

IS THIS ACCURATE?

>>57957997
lmao
Why even use grsec if you won't do hardened compiling?
Your question doesn't even matter on a binary distro, just do whatever makes you feel secure since that's the standard you are using if you are fine with a binary distro and somehow "need" grsec.

>>57958090
>slackware is somehow easier than gentoo or arch
>arch and gentoo are considered "difficult" for some reason
no...

>>57958031
It's not really. Once you wrap your head around everything it's a piece of cake. And Fedora is a good choice. Stick with it.

Slackware, arch and gentoo aren't difficult to use. I've used all 3. On arch now for convenience. Arch is the "easier" of the 3, only from convenience's view. Gentoo is "hardest" only because it's package system is more complicated to use. But it's still not that hard.

People must be really stupid if they can't even install GNU/Linux. It's easy.

>>57958095
Id have to switch to something like ubuntu to do a hardened compile right? I dont mind that at all, just trying new stuff. What else could i do in a custom compile thatd add security? Just a place to start would be great

>>57958176
>Gentoo is "hardest" only because it's package system is more complicated to use.
By no means is it complicated to use.
Wouldn't slackware be the "hardest" since you have to do most of the stuff a package manager does manually?
>>57958188
I don't know if this is a joke, but you can't really do system-wide hardened compiling on binary distros.
And why did you even think ubuntu and arch are somehow different in this regard? You want something like gentoo if you want grsec + hardened gcc + hardened compilation for every single package. Basically look into hardened gentoo.

>>57958234
Slackware is easy because it has most of the libraries already installed, so there actually isn't much to be manually done. You just run a slackbuild and you have your software, or install it from git. 9 times out of 10 you already have the dependencies. The most annoying thing to install is ffmpeg. Everything else is just like using AUR.

>>57958151
it better be, I fucked up my windows install so that it isn't detected as an operating system on boot when I tried to make a partition for arch

Is there any normal recovery method for this,

>>57958234
Dont worry, im retarded when it comes to linux. Asking my first questions about this. What determines a distro as binary or not? Ill search around with gentoo.

>>57958285

Are you sure it's still there?

The first thing I would do is

sudo update grub

and reboot to see if it shows up in grub on reboot.

If that isn't it maybe try os-prober.


Or you could just forget about Windows and reinstall using the entire disk. You will be much happier.

>>57958377
I work as an editor so there's stuff on windows I need (Word)

also gaymes

terminals says "update" isn't a command it could find

>>57958367
Do you really think you need something like grsec if you don't know that? Get a normal distro first, fuck around with it for a while and then install hardened gentoo.
Also look up what compilation even is, i'm sure there are videos explaining that.

What distribution should I use at work (web sec)

>>57958692
Definitely only Kali Linux, the best distro for hackers

Is there any reason not to use Fedora?

>>57958768
how do I get f.lux on fedora

feh is outdated garbage

>>57959154
>using a GUI

>>57959103
you could edit the image and add a little empty space to account for the status bar.
doesnt really fix the problem if you ever want to change backgrounds, but itll let you set that one.

I'm trying to get a document containing a list of all files and folders on my NAS.

Is what I'm using, but the terminal is telling me the directory doesn't exist, even though that's the location I go to in the network to browse the files. What am I doing wrong?

>>57959520
Most programs can't just take arbitrary network paths like that.
You need to mount smb://192.168.0.2/USB someone onto your local filesystem.

>>57959543
windows could do it though. i'm just wondering what linus meant when he said it was better than windows?

Can you rice on any Linux distro?

>>57959868
Yes.

>>57959713
When did he say that?

>Install openSUSE tumbleweed in a VM (testing if I want to take the plunge)
>Follow steps on various sites on installing multimedia codecs
>Doesn't work whatsoever

Is this something to do with virtualbox? Because, for the life of me, I swear I did exactly what the guide said - the codecs are there and I've switched to them via yast's software management tool, and it showed it switching. Tried restarting for good measure, no success.

>>57958878
WHY DON'T YOU FAGGOTS JUST TELL HIM ABOUT REDSHIFT

>>57958692
>web sec

Any distro is fine, but GuixSD (Scheme/Guile) or NixOS (Haskell DSL) are interesting as you can produce reproducible builds in an independent environment (no more virtualenv junk). Can also use it for building docker container specifications, deploying a gagillion servers all identical to each other or install ZeroVM and play around with that kind of restricted container environment.

Control the entire OS through emacs which is what I do (GuixSD) and if you're like me you probably are using emacs for code auditing anyway since Hi-Lock exists. For instance, given a giant blob of J2EE web handler code, I can eyeball one handler, recognize the annotation mapping the method to URL syntax, and then punch in a hi-lock regex to light up similar annotations everywhere in the file, then glance through the whole file looking for color patterns. I can read any of those functions and recognize the code that checks "am I an admin", hi-lock it, and then quickly spot any function mapped to a URL that doesn't check admin credentials.

Org-mode also helps with manual code review so you can bookmark sections, and for billing if you're an appsec contractor (like myself). Magit is also essential, single key revert and tracks the updates of your checkouts for you with an easy UI.

Anyway I can not shill GuixSD enough these days

>>57961072
I recommend against it because apt is absolutely horrible in dependency management.

You can of course install another DE and remove the older one. However you may see duplicate programs for files, control panels etc.

See
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NysoCN9RR_c

>>57961025
depends on your definition of timesink.

desu i'm thinking of doing it as dualboot to learn more about linux, I use Unix systems often but its pretty much just on AWS for terminal sorts of stuff. I'm running a 6600k and 16gb of ram so I don't think I'd be I/O bound on those fronts that hard

>>57961094
>apt is absolutely horrible in dependency management.
at this point it seems like that was the exact purpose of it.

>>57961121
Then do it. there isn't much of a timesink with that kind of hardware if you don't have severe adhd like most sjwbiantards here seem to since they can't wait for an install

Ubuntu GNOME comes with a lot of default programs that I never use, like Empathy and Evolution. I don't want to uninstall them, since I might need them in the future (and I've heard that it's generally a bad idea to uninstall things that came with a Linux OS), but I don't want them clogging up my menu. My solution has been to go into /usr/share/applications and change the extension of their .desktop files. But considering how much stuff is in those files... will that break anything?
Also, while I'm at it, how the hell do I change what programs are the default for a file type? I hate having to right-click my videos and hit "Open in mpv" so they don't open in Totem.

Hey, I'm pretty new to all of this, so I need your help. I'm having a pretty good time with Ubuntu MATE 16.04, something that irks me right now is how the file picker on Chrome (I assume it would be the same for Firefox/ Vivaldi/ whatever as well, haven't tried yet though) shows the thumbnail, but it's pretty small and it doesn't even enlarge when making the window larger. Any way to make it look better?

I have a 64GB USB flash drive and I'm thinking of installing qemu-puppy to it.
What are some of the applications that I should include to puppy linux?
I've already added youtube-dl/ffmpeg/mpv and copied my Firefox profile as well.

In a new installation of Ubuntu GNOME on an Asus X751L laptop. The Wifi worked fine in the live environment, considering how the installer was able to download what it needed to, and I can ping google.com, but other than that, even though it shows that I'm connected to the network, I don't seem to have Internet connectivity. I tried turning the Wifi off and on again, but now it's just loading forever. I'm guessing it must be a driver issue, but how do I fix this?

>>57957359

>>57961710
Didn't help. Now it just tries to connect, then says "Wi-Fi Not Connected," and when I try to select a network, the only option is the one I was connected to, even though there are several other ones in range.

>>57961753
Somehow your driver got bugged out. Try rebooting into the ISO again

>>57961769
I just went into the BIOS to boot into the ISO, and it said Secure Boot was enabled, even though I disabled it as part of the installation (and now every time I boot, it says "booting in insecure mode"). The installer said something about Secure Boot preventing installation of non-free hardware drivers, hence the need to turn it off as part of the installation (since it won't let me do it from the BIOS menu). Could that have something to do with it? And yes, it's working just fine in the live environment.

>>57961822
Why dont you disable secure boot from the BIOS?

>>57961918
It doesn't let me. On that screen, the "Secure Boot [Enabled]" option is impossible to select. It doesn't tell me why, and I haven't been able to find any other setting that disables it.

>>57961950
Well I guess the installer is conflicting with your BIOS config. Is it like a DRM thing?

Because that's the window manager theme and you're changing colors for GTK2 programs.

Do not edit GTK themes like that. It will cause inconsistency between GTK2 and GTK3. Find a GTK theme which covers both that you like and then find a window manager theme that you like (Xfwm4).

Why is video playback on firefox fucked like this? The video still plays though.

I installed FUSE on debian. No errors, the package has been correctly installed according to debian.
I'm trying to install a program that depends on fuse and when I'm compiling it, an error appears saying that fuse has not been found (bla bla aborting).
I actually believe it because if I write fuse or sudo fuse in the console it says "fuse: command not found"
what's going on? Thanks.

why is arch so bloated?

>>57965811
You need to enable it in the kernel before you can use it, try modprobe fuse, first if it still dosent work you will need to make sure it is enabled in your kernel

>>57965862
Ty.
I just need to do "sudo modprobe fuse" and then fuse command should work? Or I need to do something like "sudo modprobe fuse [fuse options]" each time I want to use fuse?

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.

Fedora is bloated like most "just werks" distros, of course you have a million packages installed.

Go with arch or debian minimal if you want small amount of packages. You will have to learn how to build up your system though.
