Why can't linus make his own mini compiler that can only compile the linux kernel freeing us from the bullshit known as gcc.

>>59317015
>gcc
>bullshit
gcc one of the best compilers btw.
You can use clang if you want. or pcc, tcc nwcc, intel c compiler. Nobody forces you to use gcc, it's called FREEDOM gcc respects your freedoms

GCC is a virus and even worse is written in C++. If the was true freedom you could easily replace GCC.

where is kdeshill gone

repost from last thread:

I'm trying to install the proprietary drivers for my r9 280x AMD GPU. I tried to select them through the additional drivers dialog but it's broken. So i tried to do it through an apt-get but got this

$ sudo apt-get install fglrx

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
unity-control-center : 
Depends: libcheese-gtk23 (>= 3.4.0) but it is not going to be 
Depends: libcheese7 (>= 3.0.1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.

I'm trying to use the official AMD drivers because they are what you need to use an r9 280x with CodeXL, an AMD OpenCL/OpenGL IDE with a lot of features

It seems that this is an older bug from like 2015. If I have to upgrade to ubuntu 16.xx I will (The computer that has my r9 280x in it has only one purpose: to run this fucking program.)

>>59317015
The expression “the Linux kernel” can easily be misunderstood as meaning “the kernel of Linux” and implying that Linux must be more than a kernel. You can avoid the possibility of this misunderstanding by saying or writing “the kernel, Linux” or “Linux, the kernel”.

You can't compile the Linux kernel without GCC, that's the problem. It creates a dependency where you need GCC.

>>59317371
Linux is shit, GNU HURD kernel about 2 times faster.

>>59317371
The kernel is far more important than user land. I can replace almost all GNU and still have a functioning linux machine. If I replace the kernel I have a different OS. I should be able to use a non GNU compiler to compile the linux kernel.

>>59317423
Linux is just as replacable as any other part of the system
see Debian GNU/kFreeBSD

>>59317423
that's why the OS is called GNU/Linux

>>59317423
there is no system but GNU and Linux is just one of it's kernels

>>59317448
Then you're no longer running linux if you use a different kernel.

As you've said it yourself, Linux depends on the GNU compiler first and foremost.
Hence the OS is called GNU/Linux.

You can replace almost all GNU software except GCC because linus forces you to use it, not because of actual merits. True freedom would allow me to compile linux kernel with any compiler.

>>59317587
>You can replace almost all GNU software except GCC
with what? busybox?
don't make me laugh

>>59317587
why don't you write your own compiler then faggot, it's not like you don't have the freedom to do that

>>59317587
Wew you can replace the whole system with Windows, does it change the fact that the combination of GNU and Linux is the GNU/Linux system? No.

>>59317587

debian gahnoo+HURD

some protips:
-use the disk image made by them
-add at least 1GB RAM to the vm
-upgrade it to sid:
1. remove old sources in sources.list and add only

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ sid main

sync the source with apt-get update
2. upgrade to sid with apt-get dist upgrade. it will take some time because the old mach+hurd from 2005 is slow. After upgrade it'll be much faster.

>>59318336
No using systemd doesn't make sense, since it's good software. The problem is about Red Hat monopolizing and UNIX philosophy, which can't be fixed by avoiding systemd, but by releasing distros that don't contain Red Hat software, which again would result in distros without a kernel. LOL

Arch is just a stepping stone.

this is pure cringe

Pardon me if I interject for a moment. The expression “the Linux kernel” can easily be misunderstood as meaning “the kernel of Linux” and implying that Linux must be more than a kernel. This especially creates confusion as some people have taken to calling the GNU/Linux operating system just "Linux", which is misleading terminology.
You can avoid the possibility of this misunderstanding by saying or writing “the kernel, Linux” or “Linux, the kernel".

Also extend this so it's more autistic on par with the open source and GNU/Linux pastas.

Can someone help me out here?
I'm trying to add this as analias in BAsh, and it works.

alias lld='dir -a -l | grep'

but this doesn't

alias lld='ls -l | grep'

>>59320344
This thread is full of cancer.

>>59320433
why do you want to run grep on ls?
use globs

1. Is there a guide for xfce ricing?
Want to have my Xubuntu installation green (like mint).
2. Is there a possibility to have automated tiling or windowmanagement (like in KDE for every different window) that will be saved?

>>59320461
>use globs
didn't know that was a thing.

I can't find a glob for bash in the debian repo, can you help me?

>>59320501
>1. Is there a guide for xfce ricing?
many, but you'll have to work on everything yourself unless you want to copy someone else's config.

Go to xfce-look and deviant art for themes and everything else.
> Want to have my Xubuntu installation green (like mint).

possible, a theme probably exists.
> 2. Is there a possibility to have automated tiling or windowmanagement (like in KDE for every different window) that will be saved?

I don't know, probably not.

>>59320533

these are globs:
ls *XXX*

I thought it was a separate program..............

I wouldn't like to type asterisks all the time, I'd rather use an alias with grep.

So I'm pretty new to Linux and a friend told me his favorite distro is Dragora. What do you guys think about it? Is it good or should I start with something easier like Ubuntu?

>>59320739
So learn what they do and you can use them in your aliases.

Lately I've been reading a lot about penetration testing, internet security and such. I even installed Kali (inb4 babby wannabe hacker-I have my own network) and been looking through the Internet for some ... wholesome guides.
The thing is, there are tons of tutorials on "How to X", but what I am looking for, is more like a book, which guides you through the whole process, not just the tiny bits.
Any recommendations for good literature, blogs or sth like that?

>>59320861

it's a fine entirely free distro, but I'd go with something easier and more mainstream first
try Ubuntu, Kubuntu or Xubuntu
if you want something entirely free as in freedom, try Trisquel GNU/Linux

Is Debian my only choice if I want a rolling release distro that isn't a pain in the ass to install and hunt down drivers and shit for? I used to use Arch but went to KDE Neon because it just werks, but I really prefer rolling release.

hey /g/, what's the best lightweight and user-friendly terminal emulator for daily use?

Why do I need admin privileges to install a printer?

>>59323357
why would you allow a random users to install random shit?

>>59323382
Because a printer is harmless, useful, and shouldn't require me setting up lpadmin accounts to get it done.

What is plug-and-play?

A printer is effectively the same class of hardware as a monitor, or a mouse. You don't require your computer to get admin access for those, do you?

>>59323294
Termite

>>59323180
>hunt down drivers and shit for
that's easier in Arch because they don't care about including and you using nonfree drivers
also, if you've installed arch once, it should be a piece of cake to install it again in under 15 min

install debian from a netinst image via wifi on a laptop that reqires nonfree drivers

>If a device driver requests firmware that is not available, debian-installer will display a dialog offering to load the missing firmware. If this option is selected, debian-installer will scan available devices for either loose firmware files or packages containing firmware. If found, the firmware will be copied to the correct location (/lib/firmware) and the driver module will be reloaded.

Arch is just a stepping stone.

even if it does come with X (it doesn't), there's nothing stopping you from deleting it and replacing it with something lightweight like st

Recently I formatted my PC and installed arch, and left unallocated space for a second distro, ubuntu, to work a bit with machine learning.

I know I can install most frameworks easily in Arch, but I still wanted a more stable distro, kinda like a fallback, in case anything goes wrong and I don't have the time to fix

That being said, I'm undecided on debian vs one of ubuntu's flavours, probably xubuntu. Any ideas?

What is the preferred way of getting Firefox's stable stream on Debian Stable now that mozilla.debian.net stopped doing those packages?

Coming back to Debian after not using it for awhile and have no idea what I'm doing.

I have a problem. I deleted a user named "libvirt-qemu" because I saw it on my log in screen and figured that I didn't need it. Turns out that qemu-kvm needed that specific user because now libvirtd service won't start since it can't find that user. Can I just make the user again and everything will work?

>>59324464
Download the deb file from the Firefox website?

>>59324504
nvm. just recreating the user didn't fix it. I just purged all the packages and reinstalled them. I am on KDE Neon (16.04 lts base) if anyone was wondering

>>59324406
not him but i keep forgetting how to <<< and can never remember how to find it again

>>59324603

what is she's a girl?

Using spacemacs right now. How easy would it be to strip it down and start customising emacs from scratch? Super beginner here, I have configured spacemacs a little bit, but I'd rather install things on my own so that I know exactly is installed.

>>59324603
Could be worse.
I keep googling how to <<< and never understanding it.

>>59324794
>googling
botnetting*

>>59324794
it directs the following argument into the programs' stdin as a string

% cat < /tmp/a_file.txt 
a file
% cat <(uname) # a program
Linux
% cat <<< "a string"
a string

>>59324794
>>59324794
If a program expects a file, you use <<< 'some string', then the program acts like 'some string' is the content of a file.

It's called HERE STRING, simliar to HERE DOCUMENT, which works like this:

[codc]
#!/bin/sh
cat << KEK
top
KEK
[/code]
Here you make cat think top is the content of a file KEK.

Worth mentioning: HERE STRINGS aren't in POSIX sh.

< file

<<< string
