If you would like to try out GNU/Linux you can do one of the following:
0) Install a GNU/Linux distribution of your choice in a Virtual Machine.
1) Use a live image and to boot directly into the GNU/Linux distribution without installing anything.
2) Dual boot the GNU/Linux distribution of your choice along with Windows or macOS.
3) Go balls deep and replace everything with GNU/Linux.

I'll keep my issue short and clear.

I previously had Arch, but I want to replace it with Manjaro.
Arch is currently installed on my 256GB M.2 NVMe SSD with a EFI, /root, /swap and unallocated partition. My 2TB HDD is purely /home. It currently has my rere pepe's, documents, music, TV series and whatnot on it.

Can I keep my /home on the HDD and will it automatically be found when my Manjaro installation is done? Do I assign it at one point in the installation? Should I unplug it while installing Manjaro? Should I make a back-up of the HDD files and just wipe it (I prefer not to do this)?

A short plan of steps would be very greatly appreciated. >:)

>>59348244
I like consistency. I use it in my terminals, my Vim colorscheme, my .Xresources (so any X program), my i3, everything. It looks all nice and consistent.

I've just installed Arch with the intention of moving to sway, but I'm getting the following error when trying to start it:

ERROR: swaybg requires the compositor to support the desktop-shell extension.

which doesn't seem to make much sense seeing as sway is a compositor. What am I doing wrong?

>>59348404
I'm glad I'm not the only one to do this, I've dark solarized just about everything I use and the consistency is great.

I'm not familiar with the calamares installer but if it doesn't give you the option to install while keeping your current home folder untouched (it might, Ubuntu installers do) you can install the other stuff to the 256GB drive and mount your /home afterwards. It won't hurt to dig around in the installer options and see as long as you don't accidentally click install. And you might take a look at the Manjaro wiki it's pretty nice.

It's really fucking weird. The timer gets triggered by random things, like me creating a text file in home folder with nano, but it does not refresh on its own. Seems to be linked to any change on disk.

Don't change fonts.conf Make another text file in the same directory named local.conf and put your config there. It will look for local.conf first.

I've NEVER had this issue until today when I upgraded to new Chromium. In fact, all cursors inside Chromium are correct EXCEPT for that disgusting hand pointer from Adwaita.

It's literally the fucking eye cancer. that hand pointer is ugly as fuck. I use el cap cursor theme myself. it's like a refined Adwaita without the ugly shit.

There's no reason to be this alarmed about it.
The package maintainers are not a bunch of monkeys who don't know what they're doing. If they want you to replace a package with another, it most probably means that the files from package 1 have been transferred to package 2, and there won't be any noticeable difference.

Why do you parrot other people's opinions? You're pathetic.
How much time do you spend editing its configuration file? Why do you edit it manually when there's an officially endorsed GUI program which enables you to edit 95% of all the available options?

The truth is you're a person who has nothing going on for them so you adopt other people's edgy opinions and parrot them to potentially clueless people hoping to appear smart and knowledgeable for having such bold opinions about "technology".

I've been running Linux distros since 2003. The best distros in my opinion are:
Debian
Ubuntu
OpenSUSE
Arch

I'm partial to Ubuntu, OpenSUSE and Arch. Debian right now is fine because jessie is new but just wait until it starts getting old and it'll become a hassle. I use Debian on my VPS and home server, though.

Let me explain why I think these are the best distros. The only thing I care about are repos, the more packages repos has the better. I love AUR for Arch and OBS for OpenSUSE.

Between bleeding the most stable to the most bleeding edge it goes in this order:
Debian
Ubuntu
OpenSUSE
Arch

If you want stability go Debian or Ubuntu. If you want bleeding edge go OpenSUSE or Arch. Ubuntu isn't quite as stable as Debian but the packages are more up to date than Debian. OpenSUSE isn't quite as bleeding edge as Arch but more stable than Arch. If you want balls to the wall bleeding edge go with Arch. The only thing checking the stability of packages for Arch is their automated build system. OpenSUSE has the best installer hands down. I particularly like the installer they use for setting up encryption. With other distros I have to use the terminal to set up partition encryption correctly but the GUI installer for openSUSE lets you have a high degree of control for encryption. openSUSE is bleeding edge especially tumbleweed but it has more testing than Arch. openSUSE Leap 42.2 is slightly more bleeding edge than Ubuntu 16.10

What you're look at is your choices from stable to bleeding edge in this order:
Debian jessie (I would stick with stable for Debian which is the only reason to use it)
Ubuntu LTS
Ubuntu 16.10
openSUSE Leap
openSUSE tumbleweed
Arch

You can't go wrong with any of these. They are all for different purpose so you decide your purpose and pick one that's best for your purpose As a note I've heard good things about CentOS and Fedora but have never used them enough to know them well. So I can't comment on those.
>>
>>59349874

Debian has more than just hte stable branch. OpenSUSE has a rolling-release "bleeding edge" version.

First of all, nothing breaks in the official repositories after Python upgrades. Whenever a new version comes out, every Python package is being rebuilt in the repository.

The arguments against systemd and why it's bad have been posted over and over, yet systemd shills continuously pop up saying no one has provided any arguments against systemd and that Lennart Poettering's cock is small so it doesn't stretch your asshole or hurt too bad while he's fucking you over with a CIA trojan that runs at PID 1.

The systemd developers are making it harder and harder to not run on systemd. Even if Debian supports not using systemd, the rest of the Linux ecosystem is moving to systemd so it will become increasingly infeasible as time runs on.

By merging in other crucial projects and taking over certain functionality, they are making it more difficult for other init systems to exist. For example, udev is part of systemd now. People are worried that in a little while, udev won’t work without systemd. Kinda hard to sell other init systems that don’t have dynamic device detection.

The concern isn’t that systemd itself isn’t following the UNIX philosophy. What’s troubling is that the systemd team is dragging in other projects or functionality, and aggressively integrating them. When those projects or functions become only available through systemd, it doesn’t matter if you can install other init systems, because they will be trash without those features.

An example, suppose a project ships with systemd timer files to handle some periodic activity. You now need systemd or some shim, or to port those periodic events to cron. Insert any other systemd unit file in this example, and it’s a problem.
>>
Give me one reason to use Arch over Antergos that doesn't involve "Hurr durr derp you have to install Arch at least once to learn all about the *process*, man!" autism
>>
There are 3 main groups of systemd haters, and they all have valid critcisms:

People who don't like the fact that systemd has massive scope creep. Specifically that it tries to reimplement many existing services instead of improving / integrating existing ones. For example user switching, network management, logging, etc.

People who don't like the idea of everything relying on systemd interfaces to work at all. For example gnome started to rely on logind and other services even though it technically didn't need to.

People who don't like the management of the project. Lennart can be a dick to people with different opinions. He also created many interesting projects which were both a bit complex and pushed before they were ready. (like pulseaudio, packagekit) Since they were forced on people via popular distros, pulseaudio became "the thing that's always broken" for a year or so. And since Lennart was the author, he became a person who breaks the system.
>>
>>59350704
Original.
>>
Can everyone speak only English here please?
Thanks for your consideration.
>>
The only people the systemd developers had to convince to get it widely adopted were the distro maintainers and the developers of a few key software projects. The distro maintainers made systemd at least an optional (if not outright default) init system, since it (1) promised to eliminate a series of init-related problems, and (2) other critical pieces of low-level userspace functionality like udev were getting merged into systemd's codebase anyway. In theory, systemd would reduce their maintenance burden, giving them an incentive to encourage their users to adopt it.

Making it an optional or default init system wasn't enough to spur its rapid adoption, however. What helped solidify systemd's hold was a few key developers making their software depend on it to work. For example, you can't run GNOME without systemd these days, and KDE is not far behind. Other previously-unrelated daemons like upower now require systemd to work correctly. So, users who want a working desktop pretty much have to use systemd now, even if they don't have an opinion on it, or even if they want a desktop more than they want to steer clear of it.

This has created a lot of frustration within the user community. There are plenty of users who do not want systemd, but now have to either (1) go without a working desktop to do so, or (2) fork the relevant parts of the ecosystem that depend on systemd and make them so that they don't. This is exacerbated by author of systemd openly advocating that GNOME depend on it (helping to create this dilemma), having a reputation for breaking the Linux sound system (making people wonder if the same will happen to init), having a reputation for not taking criticism well, and increasingly having a reputation of being deceitful about his intentions for systemd's role in the ecosystem.
>>
Systemd's design has also created a lot of frustration with power users and developers. While it is all well and good that every developer should maintain his/her code in the way he/she sees fit, there are two important design decisions in systemd that have questionable technical merit but have non-trivial social and political consequences for the ecosystem. First, the author of systemd has repeatedly stated that systemd will not be portable, and will reject patches from those who would make it work. This effectively locks people into Linux if they need to use software that depends on systemd, even if the software doesn't otherwise require Linux-specific features. Second, the author of systemd has publicly stated that the interfaces between the systemd components will remain unstable and undocumented for the foreseeable future. This makes the creation of alternatives to systemd components difficult, since developers have to first study the large systemd codebase to even figure out how to begin, and will need to ensure their alternatives are compatible with every version of systemd if they are to gain adoption.
>>
>>59350704
>https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=130309
You won't get any support from real Arch users
>>
Combined, these two design decisions ensure that it will be very costly and time-consuming for developers to implement alternatives, short of rewriting the whole systemd from scratch. Any work they do to address their problems with systemd can be easily undermined by the systemd author (who doesn't particularly care for alternatives). What is particularly demoralizing about this situation is that there isn't a clear technical reason why systemd had to be designed this way--it could have been written in a portable fashion (or, people would step up and make it portable if the author would accept their work), and its components could have been designed to have stable internal interfaces, so replacing parts of systemd piecemeal would be feasible. The only perceived gains from these design decisions is that the systemd author can artificially make it too costly to compete against it, leading to frustration and controversy.
>>
Very real disadvantages of systemd:

1. systemd is tied to a specific kernel and a specific libc and specific device manager and specific journaling daemon, basically, having systemd means you're locked in to a whole lot of other things.
2. systemd is renowned for locking up during startup and boot when you have network filesystems.
3. systemd hardcodes quite a lot of the booting and shutdown process in C which other systems place in easily editable scripts.
4. systemd in practice requires quite a lot of things: ACLs, PAM, dbus, polkit, these are not hard requirements but without this the above advantages are lost so all distributions enable them at compile time.
5. logind starting to do retarded shit like user sessions and having retarded power management, in theory you can disable logind, but no distribution again does this.
6. systemd is very monolithic and comes in one configuration compared to being able to piece your system together yourself.
>>
7. systemd appropriates the cgroup tree and takes control of it and completely messes with any other user of the cgroup tree and really wants them all to go through systemd, systemd was wirtten basically on the assumption that nothing but systemd would be using cgroups and they even tried to lobby to make cgroups a private prioperty of systemd in the kernel but that went no-where.

8. systemd's usage of cgroups for process tracking is a fundamentally broken concept, cgroups were never meant for this and it's a good way to fuck resource usage up.

9. systemd has a hard dependency on glibc for really no good reason.

10. systemd relies on DBus for IPC, as the name 'Desktop bus' implies DBus was never written with this in mind and it shows. DBus was written to facilitate IPC within a single desktop session, not as a transport during early boot. This is why systemd wanted to push kdbus heavily beause kdbus solved some of the problems inherent to DBus being used as IPC during early boot.

11. systemd's security and general code quality practices are less than stellar, a lot of security bugs pop up in systemd due to its insistence of putting quite a bit of code in pid1 and quickly adding new features and quickly changing things.

13. systemd creates dependencies and is a dependency of things for political reasons in order to encourage people to pick these things. This is not conjecture, Lennart has admitted multiple times that he creates dependencies to 'gently push' everyone to the same configuration

14. systemd is monolithic for its own sake. It's basically product tying to encourage people to pick an all-or-none deal to again gently push towards this consistency.

15. Lennart Poettering, the face of systemd and its lead dev is the biggest primadonna FOSS has ever known who continues to shift blame and demand that entire world adapt to his designs.

It's hopeless in my opinion. It's down to the nature of the language. The syntaxes (spoken language syntaxes I mean) are different. Dependency just can't be translated to Serbian just as "zavisnost", you need to be specific as to 'dependency to what' in order for it to make sense in Serbian.

I'm curious about pentesting and was going to install ParrotSec on my laptop last night, but Rufus wouldn't allow me to make a bootable flash drive with the GPT partition scheme enabled. I intended to dual-boot with Windows 10. Their website says the distro is UEFI compatible, but I'm assuming they were referring to CSM, which iirc doesn't play nice when you attempt to dual-boot.

Is there something I can do to solve this besides changing my partition scheme to MBR? I'd rather not go through the hassle of doing the conversion.
>>
>>59354634
Install Kali, retard.
>>
>>59354703
I could do that, or I can stick with my decision and either find out how to solve the actual problem or find out why it can't be reasonably solved.

Just because I'm installing a pentesting distro doesn't mean I need to adopt the mindset of a skid.
>>
>>59354769
Let me rephrase it: Install a professional pentesting distro instead, retard.

Why the fuck is Ubuntu still on a strict release schedule? Why don't they release a rolling version of it?

I really like Unity, but holy shit, it's annoying to have to wait for a new version and not being able to use updated packages that fix bugs, or improve performance.
>>
>>59354862
Install Debian Sid, that's where Ubuntu is ripping off.
>>
>>59354862
Because Canonical is trying to sell support, and selling support for rolling release software is hard.
>>
>>59354802
I don't care about how professional it is, I care about using the tools it comes with. I'm interested in playing around with some of the anti-forensic tools that Parrot comes bundled with and the Pandora's box feature, as well as the RAM-only browser profile. I've played with Kali in a VM before and I'd like to try something different with some new tools that I find interesting.

None of what we've discussed is relevant anyway because I'm here to learn about GPT, UEFI, dual-booting, etc. I don't really care about the "other pentesting distros vs. Kali issue" at the moment. I like to distro hop and will try various distros anyway, but which distro I should be using is not at all my primary concern right now.

>>59354823
Yeah, I had some strange problems dual-booting Xubuntu and W10 on a different system around a year ago. It seems to be pretty finicky for whatever reason.

I finally successfully moved my old hard drive into a beater chinkpad for use as a server, and have ssh set up to communicate with said server, but now do I jimmy around the modest 300GB of files on it in order to have rtorrent seed them? I even have rtorrent's config file, the watch directories, and the torrents inside them intact in my old user home directory. Do I want to create a new user with the same name in order to start rtorrent just as it was, or is there a better way of doing it?

ParrotSec is best to deploy on attack boxes since many VPS providers won't let you use custom images. It's not as simple to do with Kali. With Parrotsec the only thing you need is a Debian base system and you can deploy Parrotsec on it with a simple script.

It doesn't matter which one you use for pentesting. They both have the same tools. ParrotSec for VPS and Kali for VM.
