what should i use instead? i often switch between tiling and floating

>>59092214
personally I used dwm back when I was full-time tiling minimalist WMs. these days I use fluxbox, which is floating but it has several built-in commands for quick-tiling and it has been working well for me. there's also pytile/quicktile/whatever python scripts, which I have never used, but I think it's supposed to enable dynamic tiling in any WM/DE

I'm trying to enjoy vim but every single time I save a file with wq and come back to it later it bitches about swap, how the fuck do i make it stop making swap?

>>59092942
set noswapfile

You should try using :help <something>, or just :h something.

>>59092942
if it's bitching about swap it's because you have one left over from a session where it terminated unexpectedly (like you killed it, or you closed the terminal it was in). swap files are usually the same name as the file you were editing with a dot in front and .swp on the end (if there's more than one i think they go swo, swn, swm, ...). the message should tell you all the details. if it's an old swap file that you already recovered from, just delete it (when you are not editing the file, obviously)

When I mount my USB drive with

sudo mount /dev/sdb /mnt/usbstick

and copy some files, what would be the proper sequence of actions to make sure the files have been written before unplugging the stick? If I copy and then unmount

sudo umount /mnt/usbstick

it still shows up in Thunar, where I can then "eject" it with a button press. I want to use CLI only if possible.

I did it. It took me 8 times of starting over with Arch, but I finally got the gist of it. If a file or config isn't there, make it yourself. Took me a bit to understand i3 as well as bash. I got the hang of the terminal, but my god. I've never put so much effort into something like this before. I honestly thought I was gonna give up, but I kept going. I know I'm slow please don't laugh

>>59093832
the umount command won't complete until all the files have been written.
a cp command usually "completes" when the file being copied is fully read, not when it has finished writing (the unwritten part is held in memory). umount won't let you go back to the shell until it has "safely" unmounted the device.
try copying some large file to the stick, then umount as soon as the cp command returns. you'll probably have to wait a while before umount completes, because umount is waiting on the device to finish writing.

Thunar probably shows all block devices whether or not they are mounted. Idk, I haven't used it in ages.

you can throttle the cpu

for $cpu in `grep processor /proc/cpuinfo | cut -f2 -d:`; do sudo cpufreq-set -c$cpu -g powersave; done

to undo, just substitute powersave with ondemand
if you know how many cpus you have (probably 4), you can just do

should I remove /var/cache/pacman?

whats the difference between all the AUR packages with -git on the end of the name and the normal version? which one should I install?

>>59094781

>>59094915
One is the development version,while the others are snapshots/releases

>>59094956
so should I avoid the -git version then? is it just an early release that is going to eventually become the main package, or is it a beta?

Out of 3 devices I had at home only 1 edimax nano USB chip worked out of the box at 1Mbps downstream from available 25Mbps.

The ALFA AWUS036ACH used to work on older linux distro with a simple shell to install but nope, the manufacturers cut support. Tried to follow some troubleshooting guides but it ended up being more trouble than it was worth.

Ended up buying some cheap TPlink wireless bridge which was simple as fuck to setup and connects to my desktop via ethernet. NO MORE FUCKING DRIVER FUCKERY FUCK.

Extremely convenient solution, works just about as well as my more expensive wireless module at 2.4GHz with SSID broadcasting off. The great thing is that once it is configured you can unplug it and replug elsewhere to provide any device with an ethernet port internet without doing anything, not even entering SSID and password on every new device just plug n play.

>>59105637
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.

>>59105667
He was talking about kernels.

>>59105637
there isn't really an "official" linux distro
you're probably looking for one of the few long-standing "base" distros (that is, the ones the majority of other distros are based on)
namely: debian, slackware, and red hat

>>59105691
>debian, slackware, and red hat
g-gentoo

>>59105691

Yea I guess what I'm saying is, if I just want to learn Linux at a basic/intermediate level so I say on my resume that I "know Linux", what distro would be the best to learn with? Red Hat distros?

>>59105637
just get 4.9 and read the docs

>>59105720
any

running arch and debian have two swap partitions, during arch installation only mounted one swap and fstab only showing one swap entry somehow arch mounts both swap partitions...
is systemd auto mounting?

>>59105720
>so I say on my resume that I "know Linux"
if you claim this, you'll be punished the sysadmins

>>59105720
don't fall for red hat memes, it's all marketing

install ubuntu and learn, then get something better or stick with it

>>59105706
gentoo and arch are popular "base" distros as well, though not to the same degree as the ones i mentioned, and they're quite a bit newer, both from 2002, where the others are all pre-1995

>>59105720
debian and red hat are probably the most well known and used in work environments, and as >>59105653 hinted, much of the stuff you'd need to learn to claim to know linux is portable between any distro anyway

>>59091323

how do I open this program? I usually just open programs from the equivalent of what's the start bar, or make a shortcut. It's not in my start menu thing since it's on my second hdd, and I wasn't given a chance to make a shortcut.

>>59105720
any that teaches you to install a very minimal system, and quite manually so, and to build errything you think you need over that

which takes a good documentation
hence why the Gentoo meme

>>59105637
>which distro will teach me the least "distro specific" skills?
Slackware, because it is the most minimalist in terms of distro-specific software & configuration. It's also considered the most "Unix-y". It's also the oldest that is still actively maintained, and was one of the first to have a proper installer, which has been left pretty much unchanged since 1995 or so

>>59105797
>make sure I know the basics of all the popular package managers out there too.
you'll want to familiarize yourself with apt (debian/ubuntu/etc) and rpm (red hat/centos/fedora/etc) at least
checking out SuSE might be a good idea, too, it's reasonably popular in work places

>>59105901
I did not know that arithmetic evaluation substituted variables without the sigil. neat.

So its not installed in your main /usr/bin?

Use a launcher to open it, look up what your de/wm uses.
Alternatively open up the cli and type the name of the program

You should either write POSIX sh or bash, using both is comfy for one-liners, but for a well written program, be consistent and stick to one language. I highly recomment shellcheck (works also with the vim plugin "syntastic").
