Install an out-of-the-box GNU/Linux OS, like Mint. When I first booted, it automatically found the newest nvidia driver, and all other drivers are working just as well.

One thing you have to watch out for is upgrading mint, I upgraded from 17.3 to 18.0 and it broke half of my software because I wasn't being careful enough.

Trying to install Linux Mint off a USB stick.

>>58661584
Dont start with ubuntu. unity isnt even a meme (also canonical and amazon cancer). try debian instead.
you first steps will be to get to know the package manager and the different DEs. Try at least 2-3. Gnome, KDE, XFCE, Cinnamon, e.g.
if you feel comfortable with those, you can advance. Try and install arch for example. Although not being that difficult, it is a novel experience to install an OS without a GUI. (dont use Antergos, this is a just a meme). Arch has quite a good repository if you ask me, others may disagree (get used to people disagreeing about pretty much everything; therefore try it out yourself). Maybe check out window managers (which is like the skeleton of a DE), openbox, i3 or something along the lines. Do some ricing just for shits and giggles.

Gentoo comes as last of your options I suppose. Compiling your own kernel is an advanced task and needs you to know linux and your computer a bit.

>>58662765
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.

Do you lads like Chromium? Is it safe from the Google botnet?

>I'm guessing boot manager is searching my old partitions or something to boot and is taking forever.
Stop guessing and find out what's really going on.

>>58663281
Not if you're careful about what you download, but frankly, the same is basically true of Windows.

Even if you were to get infected with something, it's unlikely the virus would be aware of WINE and would just fuck up your WINE dir, which could be easily deleted and regenerated. Theoretically it is possible that it could be written to attack the Linux side too and fuck up your home directory, but AFAIK no such virus currently exists.

>>58662765
Linux is just a kernel, one of many.
What you're using is an operating systemd with the Linux kernel added.

>>58663418
Plus if I never run wine as root, it'll never be able to leave my home directory assuming the malware has no idea how to privilege escalation exploit under linux.

How can I limit how much internet does something use

I'm being forced to use Ubuntu Gnome 16.10 for a while.
This PC is a low end AMD APU, A4-6300.
System is using Gallium 0.4 and I feel that the performance is lacking. I thought about checking additional drivers and installing the proprietary driver, some "processor microcode firmware for AMDCPUs", but I'm a little scared.
This PC could explode if I install this?
I never hear good things about AMD and drivers on linux.

Quick question, I'm familiar with Architect as a "noob-friendly" way to install Arch, but I've also seen that there are some other similar friendly installers that I believe are more up to date. Just wondering what the names are, as I've seen them dropped around here before.

Thanks!

>>58663805
processor microcode is microcode updates
your cpu already runs it.

microcode works fine.

It's the proprietary graphics driver that sucks big shlongs.

If it's not the LTS version I would recommend against installing it. It's only worth trying on the LTS version, since it purposefully avoids upgrading xorg/kernel if possible to avoid your installation shitting the bed because gpu drivers

what's so good about it?

Alright, I've decided I am going to download Gentoo on my Thinkpad. I have only tried to install Gentoo once before, months ago, on my desktop, and I failed. I have been using Ubuntu based distros on my main computers for a while now, and all I really use them for is c/ruby programming and anime, to be completely honest. I don't care about any files on my Thinkpad, I can back up all my pictures and stuff on a flash drive. Is installing Gentoo as still somewhat of a Linux noob a good idea? Will most of the hardware in my Thinkpad work out of the box? Is following the handbook actually all I need to make a safe install?

what?
never mind, what you need to do (if you haven't already) is create the ~/xinitrc file and put

exec [insert window manager name here]

at the end of the file.
.xinitrc is a startup script, so you can run commands before that last line
you start your session from the tty by typing startx
you should already know this, since you're using gentoo

Here's what I did. Thank god I can still type with gedit.

I had installed KDE just to get a feel of what it's like, and it broke my fonts. Every font had no antialiasing, so I promptly got rid of KDE. That didn't fix it, and everything was defaulting to the Tlwg Typo font for some reason. I then tried to replace every instance of "fonts" I could find with a backup I made a couple of months ago when everything was fine. Big mistake. It broke everything even further, so I reinstalled the ubuntu font family, dejavu fonts, some other fonts, and forced the regeneration of the cache. Tha brought some stuff back, but everything else is still rectangles.

Changing fonts doesn't do much, but it fixed the terminal. Firefox is still unreadable though.

>>58665227
Display Managers are for brainlets who should stick to windows

I've got a laptop that can't boot anymore into Windows, it dropped while I was using it so I thought it's surely the HDD.
I'm planning on installing Lubuntu (or any other distro that you recommend) and keep it on an USB drive (I know how to do that).
Then I want to see if I can access my Windows drive and HDD, I have really important files in there that I can't afford to loose, and I don't have any backup.
The problem is I have no experience with Linux, I guess that I'll have to some advanced shit on the terminal in order to do that but I don't know anything, the only command that I know is Screenfetch.
I don't know this if it's appropriate to post this here but whatever, I'm not a /g/ guy.

>>58665311
Have you tried closing firefox, running fc-cache -fv and then restarting firefox?

>>58665311
Maybe your $HOME has some leftover shit that messes the fonts up. I'd test with a clean profile/new user

>>58665365
if you want a distro to boot from usb try puppy (for general use, pretty fast shite, since it runs in ram) or tails if you want muh privacy

>>58665375
Yeah I did. I think it just so happens that all the most used fonts are now gone. But I still don't understand why evening is defaulting to "Tlwg Typo", a font that's not even installed anymore. Ex. fc-match Arial results in TlwgTypo.ttf.

>>58665365
>>58665515
forgot to mention that both puppy and tails were designed in running from the usb in mind and in the case of tails you prepare a liveusb even from windows, in case of tails you just install it with the installer after boot

>>58665530
>>58665515

Yeah but about what comes after, will the HDD show up on the desktop.
I have no knowledge on Linux besides installing it

>>58665516
Check your fontconfig. What distro are you on?

If I were in your position I would probably just completely uninstall the freetype package, then make sure every single fontconfig configuration file has been removed, and then reinstall freetype.

But please take this advice with a grain of salt. I have no idea what might happen to your system if you remove freetype, it might even lock up for all I know.
You might have the best chance of survival if you go into tty first

I tried with a guest account, but the error persists. I'm honestly just thinking of backing my stuff up and reinstalling the entire distro again. It seems like the easier path.

>>58665649
I usually go into tty first whenever I'm dealing with what seems to be essential stuff. I'll at least give it an attempt, and if worst comes to worst, I can boot from USB and reinstall everything.

>>58665732
On fucking what. Your HDD will show up on the desktop as a removable storage.

>>58665734
Or maybe you don't have to uninstall the package, maybe you can just delete all the fontconfig files and reinstall or something.

Or even just replace them with your old backup that you said you had made before.
Because right now it sounds like you're having a fontconfig issue, not a font issue.

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.

>due to your microphones or even speakers, because speakers can be a microphone as well, membrane being moved and therefore electrones being pushed around

By the time the already very faint sound reaches a mic or speaker it will have decreased to almost nothing due to the inverse square law. Any noise received will almost certainly not be detectable due to the low sensitivity of the mic.

In addition there will be losses from the mic/speaker size/material not having resonance equal to or a fraction of the clocks ticking components.

>the ticking of the clock in your room is producing flowing electricity

If it's an electric clock it's most likely emitting spurious emissions/radio waves from its oscillator(and the wires/leads/traces connected to said oscillator). The frequency of that oscillator/circuit can be used to identify the device that emitted it. The emission of course travels through the air and creates voltage/current(via induction) in nearby electronics. It is a very tiny amount of RF, which is also subject to the inverse square law. But yes, your clock is producing flowing electricity in certain circuits of your electronics. Unless you have tempest level shielding, which you probably don't.

TD;DR

His bat shit insane rant/joke overlooked the even more insane notion that proprietary computer hardware/components could potentially identify the make/model of your clock from across the room.

Are you saying that this linux can run on a computer without windows underneath it, at all ? As in, without a boot disk, without any drivers, and without any services ?

That sounds preposterous to me.

If it were true (and I doubt it), then companies would be selling computers without a windows. This clearly is not happening, so there must be some error in your calculations. I hope you realise that windows is more than just Office ? Its a whole system that runs the computer from start to finish, and that is a very difficult thing to acheive. A lot of people dont realise this.

Microsoft just spent $9 billion and many years to create Vista, so it does not sound reasonable that some new alternative could just snap into existence overnight like that. It would take billions of dollars and a massive effort to achieve. IBM tried, and spent a huge amount of money developing OS/2 but could never keep up with Windows. Apple tried to create their own system for years, but finally gave up recently and moved to Intel and Microsoft.

Its just not possible that a freeware like the Linux could be extended to the point where it runs the entire computer from start to finish, without using some of the more critical parts of windows. Not possible.

I think you need to re-examine your assumptions.

How is that a downside?

Think about it. The question isn't "what does Linux force me to do differently?", the question is "what CAN I do differently in Linux?"

The fact that you were able to do similar activities with a similar work flow without thinking about it is a good thing, not a bad one.
If you want to know what benefits you might be able to find with Linux you'd have to post what it is that you use your machine for.

Beyond that though, there are technical benefits. For starters you have a system being developed by people that actually give a shit about your privacy and security, unlike Microsoft that literally couldn't care less.
You have access to nice clean repositories for installing just about anything you'd ever need, you never have to go download shit from random websites, ever (unless you want something obscure like an indie game, and even then it's still likely to be in a repository)
You also have a more modern filesystem that doesn't need to be defragged to prevent things from slowing down, and a _true_ multiuser system (not one created by throwing a patch on top of a single user system like windows) which comes with a huge amount of added security benefits. (Programs are typically installed as root, but run as your user. That means no malware you contract while using the program can possibly fuck with your system files, because you don't have permission. All it can do is fuck with shit inside your ${HOME} directory)

Just delete xorg.conf

You may want to/have to do a "sudo Xorg -configure" after deleting the file. Make sure X is not running when you do this. I'll say it again, run the command before X starts. This may or may not generate an xorg.conf depending on the current phase of the moon. If the file is created move it to the appropriate directory(s) and set the permissions correctly.

Xorg will use a default configuration if the xorg.conf file is not present. So don't freak out if the file is not generated.

It's actually a giant pain in the ass when the system just uses a default configuration that's not stored in or read from an xorg.conf file, or planet within reach of current space travel technology. And if you manually create(instead of generate) an xorg.conf with anything(even one line) in it, none of the 1,000+ default settings are loaded. 90% of those default settings are required or shit will go horribly wrong.

To avoid this create an xorg.conf.d directory and place the settings within a file in the directory, the file must start with a 2 digit number greater than 10. This will add settings without ignoring of all the defaults. Don't fuck up the file permissions. Changes to files in this directory may be overwritten by settings in xorg.conf, yes that's right xorg.conf might over ride the settings here. Files are read from top to bottom. Files in xorg.conf.d are loaded/read before xorg.conf, so you'd better hope whatever variables you set are not set in xorg.conf(or on mars).

And good luck trying to dump the "defaults" into a file. If you think -configure didn't work, guess again. It did, they are just not stored in a file(or plane of existence) but are created upon starting X(or running -configure). Also they are default settings generated based on your hardware, so you are never going to find out exactly what settings are used in the absence of an xorg.conf on your system.

xorg.conf locations(you have more than one) vary by distro

any idea what this unknown device that "isnt working" is?

>>58670988
Motherboard GPU?

So say I take half of my 16GB ram and put a game on it in ramfs.
It would load the game files into the other half of ram again, wouldn't it?

>post what it is that you use your machine for

I'm a college freshman. As of yet I haven't encountered any proprietary culture - i.e. teachers/"coworkers" (peers) that only take .docx files, so my workflow would be pretty uninterrupted switching from Windows to Linux. I mean shit, all I do is enter homework online, all of my learning is still done with a textbook, pencil, and paper. I suppose I type papers up but LibreOffice is normie-ready.

Are the Linux browsers any good? I use edge - yeah yeah make jokes about MS software - because the UI is lightning fast and as mentioned, I'm a lightweight user. Last time I booted firefox up it'd spend 3 seconds telling me it had to check for add on updates, and then would take half a second to switch tabs, break add ons, and was just customization hell. Introduced a boot up bug that took me a month to find and delete..I know chrome runs on Linux as well but I'm not poking a google product I don't have to, with a 10 ft pole.

I also do a bit of hobbyist programming, I'm learning C++ with g++ via msys2, and VSC. Works with no issues whatsoever.

I would be very appreciative if someone with linux could compile the latest commit for windows .. again.

I tried compiling it myself, tried Linux Mint through Virtualbox for the first time, spent a good 6 hours fiddling around with this new OS trying to install stuff, and now I'm quite embarrassed to make this request again. I made a /wsr/ thread for it, but I highly doubt anything will come of it. I just can't compile the thing. This feels like a very insignificant and ridiculous request. If you have trouble compiling, this post here >>58614927 might help. https://jii.moe is a good site to upload the compile.

>>58671981
still here, haven't even rebooted, so the stuff is still in my ramdisk

if making a build machine, you just need the mingw crosscompiler toolchain, and the mingw stuff for sdl2
that's all this depends on (arguably sdl will pull in a bunch of its own depends, but it's not a whole lot)

had to add

  -I /usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/include/SDL2/ \

to INCLUDES in the makefile this time, as now it's using SDL_video.h which it apparently didn't before, and it's in a different spot again on my distro

I'm using Lubuntu, and this keeps popping up.
Every time, I "run this action now" and the terminal pops up, and starts downloading stuff, then the terminal closes. This then repeats every time I boot up my computer.
What should I do?

You are doing more for me than any person should expect of someone else. Honestly makes me feel a bit teary-eyed.

>>58672649
you're welcome, man

keep at your build box, you'll get it sooner or later. it's not a hard thing to setup, once you get it you'll wonder how you had any trouble with it

I've been using Ubuntu 14.04 since its release, and it's been serving me well all this time, until I somehow broke it.

So I thought I might as well upgrade to 16.04. Are there any good things about it, or should I just stick to 14.04? And as a side question, is systemd as much of a problem as people make it be, and how will I be affected by it? I don't want to dabble with the more technical distros like Arch, since I'm already far too used to debian-like distros.

>>58672573
install the fucking fonts manually!

-- also you can change things

like here i changed the map size
the game scales perfectly well, wonder why it's not a normal option

>>58672896
actually nevermind, seems the maps are so small they don't even go offscreen or scroll anyway

well, could make custom maps i suppose
they are just drawn in text files (ansi art), pretty simple stuff

>>58672852
How?
Sorry, sorry.

>>58673049
>>58672573
they say that ubuntu is the easy distro, but I honestly wouldn't know how to fix this shit and I use arch as my main daily OS
everything just werks and it's so simple that even when it breaks it can be fixed easily

>>58673049
>https://packages.debian.org/sid/all/ttf-mscorefonts-installer/download
download then run

sudo gdebi ~/Downloads/ttf-mscorefonts-installer_3.6_all.deb

>>58673085
Thanks.
Can I delete the .deb file from my downloads now that I have installed it?

>>58673127

yes

>>58671588
Yup

Those of you on Fedora / CentOS / RHEL (maybe even SUSE) -

Do NOT install the NVIDIA driver from their website! It won't survive a kernel upgrade and is nasty as fuck to fix. Install the kmod-nvidia package. It is the same driver but will survive kernel upgrades. You will need (I forget which but install both) the EPEL or ELRepo repositories

>>58673366
>It won't survive a kernel upgrade
no shit retard. you rebuild the driver for the new kernel or your package manager pulls the updated driver binary

>>58673366
>is nasty as fuck to fix
elaborate

Just trying out void with MATE, it's a really nice change from KDE which I had always sued in the past. Way faster and the base install doesn't have any bloat whatsoever. it just werks too which is a nice change. My fucking plebian install before was a hot mess. Never again.

>>58673366
I used to get their drivers from the site. Now I just wait for the Debian maintainers to do it for me.

>>58661781
it's a good beginner GNU/Linux distribution, better than Ubuntu. I heard that there were some security issues, but I'm not that terribly concerned with it.

>>58674234
mint is almost exactly the same as ubuntu they just meme that shitty DE cinnamon instead of that shitty DE unity.

The sercurity flaws aren't a huge issue, but when there is so many otehr distros out there why settle for less?

pathetic desu (to be honest)

My college IT teacher keeps saying OSX was deviated from linux, but it doesn't even use the linux kernel. He even adds this to tests, how do I approach him with enough evidence to change his mind?
