I have an Nvidia card and I run GNU/Linux... and I use binary drivers. I know, I know... but nouveau is even worse.

Every time I suspend my PC and then wake it up, Xorg display driver goes insane and I have to press the reset sometimes because all I see is the black screen and sometimes I see random pixels moving when I move my mouse. It's driving me nuts because I have to shutdown every night.

Xorg is basically autogenerated by nvidia-setup and I basically just followed Arch wiki. Everything's fine and perfect... until I suspend the PC and then wake it up.

No idea how to solve this. been looking all over the web with no luck Does anyone know how to fix this? I can't be the only one experiencing this...

What's /fglt/'s opinion on Chromium?
What email service do you use?

>>58674863
>Chromium
botnet

>>58674878
Shame because I like how fast is is compared to Firefox

>>58674884
FF isn't much better nowadays since it uses google services for retieving website blacklists, malware warnings and such things ( unless you tweak your about:config).

>speed
You can basically make FF as fast as Chrome, since Chrome is using techniques which FF has disabled by default, like, preloading links in the background before you even clicked them, network pipelining, multi-processes and all that stuff.

IMHO a tweaked FF or Icecat is the best solution currently, since all browsers are shit out of the box.

There's also "ungoogled chromium", but I didn't test it.

I've used windows all my life, is there a big list of the best linux alternatives to commonly used windows software?

>installed i3
>Stuck on loading cursor, no keybinds work
I think I'm missing some dependency but can't figure it out

>>58675260
alternativeto.net is very good for that. But this is the wrong approach, don't look for copies of the programs you're using so far.
Instead, look for programs that do what you need to do. There is a difference (for example, there is no Linux alternative to regedit.exe. Why? No registry. Is Linux lacking this software? No.

If LTS releses are supposed to get the most support, why are bugs in ubuntu 16.04 fixed on later versions but not on the LTS? Where is the support?

a) GNU/Linux*

b) We don't describe free software as an “alternative” to proprietary, because that word presumes all the “alternatives” are legitimate and each additional one makes users better off. In effect, it assumes that free software ought to coexist with software that does not respect users' freedom.

c) Check out xdotool.

d) Happy hacking.

What distro would you install on a PC circa ~2006 with 512mb RAM (or heck it could even be 256mb).

>>58676173
xdotool is pretty powerful. With some scripting you do window tiling, hot corners, auto-switch workspaces, ...

Have a fun script:

# mousemove spiral
x=0;y=0;while [ $y -lt 333 ]; do xdotool mousemove --polar $x $y;x=$[x+10];y=$[y+1];sleep .001;done

>>58676286

>>58676755
what distro are you using now?

>>58676808
Ubuntu. I'm not actually considering switching, I've just been reading about them. I've understood that the main differences for user are "how bleeding edge" they are, how often they're updated etc.

but is there like a, categorical differences between them that sets them apart distinctly for a average user.

rm -rf /

to see how comatible you hardware is with heavier distros

>>58676923
How is 'rm -rf /' able to delete all files in the system?

I haven't tried this command on Ubuntu (for obvious reasons) so I am not sure if Ubuntu will allow its execution.

But it's famous for deleting everything. Just out of curiosity, what happens when the kernel and /bin are deleted? How does rm maintain a run time stack? How does rm manage to communicate with the file system and complete deletion? How does it communicate with hardware?

>>58677012
He's a retard; the command doesn't work, yet /g/ plebs are posting it everywhere.

GNU rm treats / specially, so rm -rf / will exit with an error, unless --no-preserve-root is given. You also need superuser privs in order to remove files owned by root.

>what happens
rm doesn't actually delete files, it unlinks them (files are still there, but not accesable anymore and free to overwrite). You will get lots of errors for a while, then the system finally crashes.

Check youtube, there are lots of videos where people do a

sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root /

in a VM.

>What are the differences between Fedora, Debian and Arch?

Fedora: comes free, but includes nonfree drivers, has a repo for nonfree software

Debian: comes completly free, has a repo for nonfree software and drivers

Arch: doesn't give a fuck, one repo for everything, not as many packages compared to Debian, but a large community-repo, the AUR

>How can I tell which one I need to install?

You will know yourself, until then, use Ubuntu.

anyone know if the Radeon 8750M supports AMDGPU (-PRO)?

>>58677624
It does slightly bother me that it's not free software. I'm not a RMS-dicksucker but I feel that stuff that lets me remote into my machine should not be controlled by companies, I used to use Teamviewer and stopped using it because it's proprietary.

>>58677920
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.

free open source CAD solutions for linux suck massive schlong at least back when i tried them.

2 years ago I tried to get one to create a simple 2D drawing for a CO2 laser. Was terribly unsuccessful.

I'd say the one that sucks least is openSCAD but that's for people who know how to program. You don't draw, you type commands.

Try FreeCAD too.


For closed source solution (that works) try BricsCAD. Native linux version, works well.
Costs a bit of money, definitely less than AutoCAD. Supports LISP.

But I'm doing the install explicitly on the drive, /dev/sdb in this case. That is, unless I'm missing something when putting grub on other devices.

The partition table worries me, I can't remember how I installed Debian back then.

Installed lubuntu.
Installed terminus font via synaptic.
Cannot open lxterminal or shutdown prompt.
This is definitely due to the new font installed, cause when reverting to any preinstalled font, these would open with no problem.

Yo!

I have a 4.4 GB file here and I want to put it into a USB stick. I tried the command cp, but it gave me the following error:

cp: error writing "/media/root/USBstick/my_file.ext": File too large
cp: failed to extend “/media/root/USBstick/my_file.ext”: File too large

I'm using void linux and can't get the bluetooth service to start
running

bluetoothctl

Just hangs indefinitely waiting for bluetoothd. Trying to start bluetoothd manually with

# sv up bluetoothd

says the file doesn't exist. I checked what modules are avalible and bluetooth is there and I have bluez and blueman installed. But bluetoothd isn't even in the list of avalible services I checked using

sv status /var/service/*

What do? I know it works because I've installed several other distros, the controller is a Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 130 BGN so it is well supported.

Do installers wipe the existing OS on a drive by default? I actually want to delete it rather than create a new separate partition.

Puppy IMO. Lubuntu justwerks, but puppy trumps it in features. only caveat is root is opt-out, so be careul.

>>58685418
It depends on what you are installing. Linux is not a one size fits all type of operating system. There are literally hundreds of distros, and each distro handles things differently. Some are even as nice as to offer to resize your hard drive, create its own partitions, and setup a dual-boot bootloader.

Others just don't give a fuck and will wipe out every partition on that hard drive.

Then there are those distros like Gentoo and Arch where you literally have full control over how your install goes via commands.

Is there any browser for linux with hardware video decoding? Tired of crap battery due to high cpu usage from videos (and I don't mean playing in mpv, I mean playing videos in a web browser)

I'm now hooked on key combo based controls. the only problem is that when i switch to firefox, it's still mouse based while the terminal based web browsers are extremely lacking.

why do they keep doing this? I am honestly about to cry

yeah, if you have youtube-dl you can just type mpv [youtube-url] and it will play. it seriously uses a tenth of the RAM if not less.

>>58686255

>>58686253
Is there really nothing for hardware decoding video right in the browser, like in Edge or Chrome on windows?

as for your problem
the first time you launch bluetooth manager from terminal it launches, and either it has no window or moves to tray or something
the second time it say it's already running, because it is duh

so look in the tray for that bluetooth thingy, and if you don't have a tray try running it with --help and see if there is option not to use tray
