What are some cool confings and alias for .bashrc?

is it a good idea to run web browsers within firejail?

>>58043699
>is it a good idea to run web browsers
no, use the command line like real arch pros

>>58043710

beat that arch

>>58043728
no, using a fake gui is n00b-tier. use arch like me and do everything from the command line

why does /fglt/ hate arch so much? Im using antergos as my first linux and It seems pretty good. The AUR has everything, and 'not audited' and stuff sounds more like memes just made to bash arch than real reasons, Ive never had any kinda issue with it.

>>58043743

arch has crappy, lazy devs who are utterly and completely useless, see: https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-general/2015-July/039443.html
there's no reason to use arch. all it does is make a situation more complex for no benefit. it isn't minimalistic, it isn't faster, and it's not worth anyone's time to use it. the only reason people do is because of 'look at me im so l33t not using gui installer fucking idiot noobuntu users'

>>58043743
i think everyone here loves the ProDistro that is arch. your just a fucking n00b though, install Arch the Arch way and get a real lightweight and minimalist distro. yes, the unauditied memes are just that, memes.
>>58043771
how does it make anything complex lmao? is installing something without a gui really that hard? any retard with reading skills can do that.
>the only reason people do is because of 'look at me im so l33t not using gui installer fucking idiot noobuntu users'
nope, there are other distros which lack an installer so this can't be the reason.

>>58043760
If anyone wants more 'deets I used pendrivelinux with the latest version of xubuntu installed on a usb stick. the unzipper got to like 99% but said the files were broken? even though I downloaded the iso from the official page

>>58043853
why is debian involved in this? we're discussing why arch is trash, if you want to discuss debian you should have started the discussion on debian. keep it related to the topic.

>>58043834
Fuck Off. Use Arch (not memejaro, antergos or any other noob version of it) or gtfo.

>>58043743
the only reason to install arch (just like gentoo) is to show everyone on the internet that you did

>>58043771
But this is just more arch-hate memes, with no real basis. Im using arch right now, given that antergos is pretty much the same, and its easy. Nothing is complicated or hard, and I used a GUI install.
Do you just hate people who installed their OS in a different way from you for some reason?
>>58043793

if you haven't seen the arch memes you haven't been on /g/ long enough. every single one of them has relevency, and for good reasons.

Arch is literally a bloated piece of shit. Why even use it?

>>58043911
Everyone can tell you're just pretending to be a dumb skiddie who thinks they're LEET to imply anyone who uses arch must be like that. It just makes you look really petty.
>>58043899
But thats not true. It sounds like you just tried to install arch the normal way and didnt like doing it, and now you have some irrational anger towards some linux distro because you didnt like the installation.
>>58043931
I cant for the life of me tell what the reason is. Everyone just seems so angry and spiteful towards this linux distro and anyone who uses it and its beyond explanation. All the reasons just seem weird and contrived non-reasons, and even if some of them would be reasons you wouldnt use it personally they dont justify this weird, obsessive hatred.
Like, all this regurgitating copypasta about how terrible arch is with this haughty condescending tone to it, or ironically pretending to be really really stupid or obnoxious people(by your judgment at least) to imply 'anyone who uses arch is like this' half the threads. Thish isn't healthy.

arch is a meme and here is why:

it sells itself as "simple" and "lightweight", while it's actually the opposite as confirmed here >>58043771

that's actually not a bad thing, arch is nice, but people install it for the wrong reasons

why do we hate them?

kids who can't decide for themselves install arch linux or babby forks like antergos, a shell they don't even understand like zsh, and all the other crap they read on others screenfetches, then they come to /fglt/ and ask stupid questions like
>zsh: command not found: screenfetch
>please help
and at the same time they're telling everyone how superior their disto and software decision are

>>58044073
Welp, if you want to compare Debian to Arch:

Debian does package splitting, which means, you get just what you need instead of the full package like on Arch.

Result: 300 packages on Arch are compareable with 6-700 on debian based systemds.

Debian comes with a deblobbed kernel. You just add the modules you need. Arch comes with blobs out of the box to make it "simple", which is actually pretty much against "the arch way" and KISS.

>>58044109
>iptables/netfilter
>GNU/
They aren't GNU specific applications and aren't part of the coreutils though. You can drop the GNU/ here.

Who is more obnoxious, archqueers or people who bitch about archqueers?

>>58044134
the only reason we have the problem is because of the archqueers.

>>58044100
Id honestly reccomend you ask on the ubuntu forums or somewhere, anywhere but here.
Its obnoxious to have to make an account, but this place is useless. Its just for circlejerking about how much they hate free software, some particular linux distro(arch? void? debian? it changes day by day), and linux in general.
I dont know the answer, it worked fine when I did that, but thihs place probably wont be of any help to you.

>>58044117
Is Arch user friendly? I don't want to have to type codes into my computer like a bitch, i just want a free Windows alternative.

>>58044129
I prefer calling it GNU/Linux because I like free software.

>>58044146
ok thanks

>>58044128
>Result: 300 packages on Arch are compareable with 6-700 on debian based systemds.
I would like some stats on this one, how did you calculate this?
>thinking that binary blobs = kernel modules
Why the fuck are debiankids this stupid?
> Arch comes with blobs out of the box to make it "simple", which is actually pretty much against "the arch way" and KISS.
No, it has a generic kernel with all modules out of the box which is actually pretty simple. You can customize it later though, which all Arch users do unlike you debtards who think no binary blobs = less bloated kernel with less modules enabled. I guarantee you that your kernel is bloated as fuck and has more modules than you need.

>>58044129
I'm so used to saying GNU/Linux that It's become a habit to say that when just linux is what you should say.

>>58044129
>he things GNU just covers the coreutils
found the tech illiterate

>>58044180
He's still right, there is no GNU software that covers iptables or netfitler. It's all built into the linux kernel.

>>58044177
>I would like some stats on this one, how did you calculate this?
If you want the program, you get "program".
If you want to compile it yourself, you get "program-dev".
This example already doubles the package count.

>>58044187
The system isn't the kernel only. Fuck off.

>>58044166
>I prefer
But I don't care about your feelings. The applications you listed aren't specific to GNU or the linux kernel. There's no need to mention your OS there.
>>58044178
So? The applications aren't written by GNU or exclusive to Linux, GNU/Linux, busybox/Linux or anything/Linux.
>>58044180
What does it "cover" then? Things like grub aren't part of the coreutils so using them isn't enough to start calling your system GNU/Linux. By that logic my system should be called Firefox/Linux

>>58044157
If you're not comfortable with the terminal, you'll have a hard time with arch linux. Thankfully, antergos is just arch linux with a GUI installer. Antergos uses the same repos as arch linux and the same package manager. Archfags at the arch linux forums get easily butthurt about antergos so just ask here rather than there.

Calling BSD a cuckold license is a meme, don't take it too seriously.

>>58044244
I know, that's why I told him to do something impossible.

If I start a process (runnable jar for example) via CLI on my vps (debian) as a daemon, how can I control it after for example logging out? Only possible way to search for the process and kill it in case I want it to shut down?

>>58044203
You're correct. Technically the system is always a combination of random programs, kernels, libs, etc. So when you need to choose a name for it, why not promoting the system that started it all and promote free software instead of calling it "Linux", which tries to hide that important part just for convenience?
By the way, you're correct that stuff like embedded systems with busybox and linux or android aren't GNU/Linux systems, but how is this relevant here?

>>58044250
>>58044244
>>58044212
The BSD license allows taking BSD code and making it proprietary. You're literally watching others fucking your code.

>>58044268
I don't care about your feelings, habits or your "promotion" of anything. Just don't add unnecessary retarded shit when discussing a specific issue. Use GNU/kernel whenever discussing a GNU coreutils or GNU issue, use Linux when discussing a kernel issue. I couldn't care less about your particular choice of software which is irrelevant to the discussion.
>embedded systems with busybox
busybox isn't just for embedded systems. It can be used literally on any distro and alpine (a desktop distro) already uses it. Android is just a fork of Linux so calling it linux is retarded.

>>58044293
>direct citations of the license.
Did you somehow miss this part?
>You're literally watching others fucking your code.
I'm not though, I'm not a programmer. If anything I'm cucking someone else by using BSD.

Forcing freedom is freedom, which means ensuring that nobody can enslave you. "Doing whatever you want" is anarchy, which always leads to slavery.

Proprietary software should be illegal.

Stop the strawman already.

>>58044485

>>58044502
No, I said proprietary software should be illegal, not running whatever you want should be illegal.

That said, what's the point in creating proprietary software?

There are better jobs than selling heroin or proprietary software. If you want to make money, do it like Red Hat.

>>58044520

Even that wouldn't be enough from stopping me in particular from distributing proprietary software. I'll start doing that if it ever becomes illegal. I'll make my own state with my own courts if need be.

I have successfully built Firefox 50.1.0 with xpinstall.signatures.required available in about:config by adding

It alters what software is going to be allowed in the repos. Have a controversial opinion or political position? Don't be surprised if it gets removed later.

>>58045486

linux doesn't either. your idea of "community" is retarded. I didn't join anything when I started using linux or my distro in particular.

it's absolutely destructive in results both for the economy of africa as well as societies in africa

>>58045616
Most of the time, money that gets sent to africa is taken by the corrupt government or some warlord claims it. There will be no helping africa until the corruption and civil wars come to an end.

i'm not though...

>>58045760
File picker used by an application is dependant on the graphical toolkit it was created with.

Firefox uses GTK toolkit and depending on the version will use GTK2 (older versions and ESR versions of Firefox) or GTK3 (everything else) file picker.

>>58045798
>what's so hard about it?
Having the right hardware that actually has drivers written for it?

This thread isn't friendly.

>>58045805
I can't wait till ESR 52. FF 46 was the version that dropped GTK2 and uses GTK+ 3 instead and ESR 45 is the current ESR also the final version to use GTK2.

>>58045883
s/thread/board/gi

>>58045887
and i honestly hope debian will keep packaging the esr version compiled for gtk2.

i would hate to recompile it everytime there's an update

>>58045902
But the thread title explicitly says "Friendly".

>>58045867
He's a fucking retard, don't listen to him. You can easily get the kde filepicker if you use the patched version of firefox which is called firefox-kde-opensuse
Wouldn't know how to get it on ubuntu though.

>>58045917
So? How does this prevent me from being unfriendly?

>>58045912
What's the problem with using GTk3 firefox? Debian will probably use the official version (GTK3) since firefox doesn't do official builds with GTK2 anymore.

Why are the gnome devs so obsessed with ignoring filepicker? Even when someone solves it they ignore them and don't merge the changes. Why are they so incompetant?

>>58043878
I used them the standard Arch and Manjaro, but they were completely fine!

>>58044100
You need to check the md5 sum of the ISO to make sure it isnt corrupted, or just try re-downloading it. It looks like your download might have been corrupted

How do you make xfce not shit? I tried dockbarX with grouped icons no titles, its buggy as fuck. I tried Window Previews, also buggy as fuck and Minimized previews are questionable at best (barely work)

I tried standard window buttons with Icon/groups no text, but you can't pin things to the taskbar.

The only way to make XFCE function is the default panel setup.
