What are some cool thing to add my .bashrc? Something like that scripts that extracts archive or the one that colors man pages.

how to see ip information ? like gateway etc

>>58184850
>cool
If you search for inspiration, browse some peoples dotfiles or check out commandlinefu.com.

>archives
I'd recommend atool. It does basically the same but with additional features like, if the archive has more files than one, it automatically extracts the shit into a new directory instead of shitting up the current one.

How do you guys deal with duplicates?

>>58184850

Type the directory instead of cd Dir:
shopt -s autocd

Make variables cdable:
shopt -s cdable_vars

Enable extended globbing:
shopt -s extglob

Enable ‘**’ globbing:
shopt -s globstar

Disable autocompletition when cli is empty:
shopt -s no_empty_cmd_completion

Enable autocompletition for sudo:
complete -cf sudo

zsh-like history search [ctrl+up/down]:
bind '"\eOa":history-search-backward'
bind '"\eOb":history-search-forward'

zsh-like cycle-throw-completitions.

just install zsh for fuck's sake. you can still use bash for scripts and almost all bash functions will work just fine.

Okay. So open your /etc/systemd/logind:

Set it to suspend

Look for "docked" options as well. Then restart logind

That file picker is an utter trash. I suggested that they should make a brand new file chooser widget. The maintainer that I was talking to looked interested to do so. But he is not in charge of file picker.


I think if you submit a good file picker in gtk they will probably merge it.

I then decided to make one for gtk before I realized what if I make a good Qt picker. I don't think GNOME is interested in making things better.

GNOME doesn't add basic features, they remove them. They only add niche autistic features.

So... fast forward a couple of weeks, I am brushing up on my C++ to make a nice Qt picker instead. When I submit my patch I intend to become a contributor to the LxQt project. However the problem with LxQt is it does not have a standard desktop framework like GNOME and KDE. They want to be "modular". I wanted to add some DE agnostic features to the project.


>>58192726
What exactly are you looking for?

I also want to stay away from GNOME because I am absolutely terrified after I saw Vala. Pantheon also is written in this GObject monstrosity.

C++ is MUCH more simpler to learn and apply. Which restricts me to either KDE or LxQt. The new KDE framework along with it's akonadi server is currently broken beyond saving.

If I'm happy with ubuntu is there any real reason to change? I've been told it's a beginner distro but I had a look at some of the others memed around here like arch and gentoo and they have you engineering a system like I'm in 1960's bell labs or some stupid shit.

>>58194334
Fuck no.

Unless you want to see "what the competition has to offer" which you will be terribly dissapointed with once you understand that all of the "important" elements composing a distribution are constant between all of them.

But then again I will not be the one stopping you from distrohopping.
I came to a conclusion that everyone needs to to his own share of it to understand that it's just a waste of time and no internet arguments is going to convince you of it.

Hey guys I have a slight problem, I thought I'd ask here since I didn't find a concrete solution by googling.

I use i3, and have a bit of a problem when I try to play games. When the game is full-screen (let's take for example, Frozen Synapse), my Super-hotkeys don't work. So I can't, for example, send the current fullscreen'd game to another workspace, or switch myself to another workspace to check something else outside the game.

How can I set it up so that my i3 hotkeys still work while in a fullscreen program? Is it a command I have to include when launching the game, or is it something in my i3 config?

Can i check somehow when i updated OS, like it says system update 2 hours ago, 2 days etc

>>58193657
Should I just go with arch? Or would Ubuntu server work alright

>>58195260
Whatever floats your goat.

Ubuntu/Debian/Fedora Core/Server will make the installation process a lot easier cause of the graphical partitioning and actually setting up the basic features which you would install on arch anyways.

>>58195260
Consider Debian. Stable for stability or Sid for bleeding-edge. It just werks.

When I was 8 I had no fucking clue about ICEs.
But then I took a lawnmower, took it apart and assembled back together. Didn't work. So i did it again and it worked.
Gave me some insight.
Then I took a Jawa 223 engine apart and put it together.

At 12 I was proficient enough to dissasemble and reassemble a Rover K series engine, put it back together and making sure it would work.

Isn't Debian testing the best solution? AFAIK unstable is too bleeding edge (completly upstream, no security patches, etc), testing is like 2 weeks older, but has patching and much less breaking.

debian testing is a piss poor solution for desktop use because it doesn't get the security updates.
Stable has dedicated security updates.
Unstable has the "security through obscurity" as it updates often.
Testing has neither.
It can take weeks before a patched package gets from sid to testing

besides
"debian testing" is literally Ubuntu.
But with security updates.
Apparmor by default.
Better support for 3rd party software including proprietary.
And user repositories

>debian testing is a piss poor solution for desktop use because it doesn't get the security updates.
It does. That's why there is a testing-security repository. You're confusing package updates (upstream) with package security patches (maintainers).

From: https://wiki.debian.org/Status/Testing
>Thus, there is security support for testing, but in general it cannot be expected to be of the same quality as for stable:
>Updates for testing-security usually get less testing than updates for stable-security.
>Updates for embargoed issues take longer because the testing security team does not have access to embargoed information.
>Testing is changing all the time which increases the likelyhood of problems with the build infrastructure. Such problems can delay security updates in testing.

What you could've have said is "security is better on stable than on testing" but what you said is factually wrong.

>Unstable has the "security through obscurity" as it updates often.
It's a rolling release... Is Arch "security through obscurity"?

>It can take weeks before a patched package gets from sid to testing
Sid has no patches (from Debian maintainers at least), only stable and testing have patches (stable-security and testing-security repositories).

>>58198950
Just a correction, sid package maintainers can and do make patches to packages obviously but there isn't a sid security team like there is for stable and testing and for many things they will usually wait for an upstream patch, meanwhile stable and testing security teams will patch the package even if upstream doesn't.

You are all completely stupid. Debian is outdated and insecure. More over, it's just a noobuntu spin that was made to attract power users. All it's maintainers are SJW and the distro is sponsored by jews and the liberal media.
The Debian project shows through it's public statements and manifests that it's clearly no aligned with the moral Christian values that made the US the great nation it came to be.
It's degenerate.

Arch Linux is superior to it in every way. It has bleeding edge packages, what means more stability and security, since you get all the last bug fixes.
It's also more configurable and extensible. On overall you just have more control over your computer.
Anyone that is serious about their OS uses Arch.

Very stupid question that I don't how to properly articulate warning.

Terminal:
/Random/path$ command A (example scp or any command that takes time to finish)
>ZzZzZz
Type command B which depends on the proper completion of command A

Options that I use:
Option 1:
/random/path$command A&&command B
I misstype something or something don't work properly, have to figure out what went wrong and where, waste time because of my limited capacity of abstraction.

Option 2:
/Random/path$ command A
Open second terminal, cd to the path, write command, wait and press enter close first terminal, use second terminal from now on, annoying.

Is there any more convenient way?
I want to being able to type next command and being in the same directory?
Any .bashrc trick or whatever I'm just dumb and can't find any method that I like and it happens way too often.

How practical is solus for everyday use?

All of that stuff you hear about arch breaking are lies. Once it's set up you're good to go. I've had more issues with ubuntu and fedora.

good to know. Just got a PNY ssd and I really want to try out a new GNU/linux distro on it

What I meant is that when I need to type two consecutive commands on the terminal, my approaches feel like they can be improved.

I need to type both, one takes time, which prevent me from typing the next one, or I concatenate which often leads to failure, or I open shitton of terminals and seems unnecessary, or I just wait, but it buggs me.

Does it make more sense now?
I think I can rewrite it better sorry.

I will just delete it when I know how to write it better

>>58201082
Can I for example have any shortcut that opens a secondary terminal or tab in the current path?

>>58201102
yes

Can I have a Window "display on all desktops" using the i3 windows manager?

>>58201659
You can use ctrl shift space and then resize it.

>>58201700
This floats a window.

Is there any Window manager, or a theme for one, that looks like System 7? Or any Mac before OS X? All I can find is MUH EYECANDY OS X themes.

>System 7
I bet you could rice XFCE and failing that OpenBox.
