What linux distro has the longest battery life?

Will probably buy a Dell XPS 13 or Acer Swift 3 or an ASUS this summer as I need a new laptop for my job.

Mainly going to be using it for programming.

Need the battery to last at least 8 hrs. MacOS already does 10 hrs and coding on it is super nice but the new Macbook pros are shit and the 2015 ones are all sold out.

I'm using fedora on my current Dell Inspiron but battery life is shit, same with Lubuntu,and Xubuntu

Help me /fglt/. .

>>59590315

All distributions have the same battery life. You run the same software on all, assuming you use the same versions.
There is no "best distribution" for anything and certainly not for things like battery life.

How do I access syslinux.cfg in Ubontoo 16.04? I need to modify it for a persistent USB installation.

REEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>59590315

Honestly, if its going to be for working in industry use Windows or OSX. Whatever the company is using in house. Save yourself a lot of headaches.

>>59590341
>You run the same software on all, assuming you use the same versions.
That assumption is flawed.

>>59590380
Windows is shit to work with, I code python and PHP mainly and even getting shit to install is a nightmare. Thought WSL would be good but it turned out to be just a meme. Is there some vagrant or similar product which makes windows bearable to use for programming?

>>59590346
You edit it with a text editor

>>59590444

>>59590389

The only thing which can influence your battery life majorly is the kernel. Assuming you run the same kernel, every distribution will have the same battery life.
The differences between battery drainage between Firefox 45 and 52 are negligible. The same applies for 99% of software.

Make sure the partition it's on is mounted. Try lsblk, and if you have an unmounted <1GB partition, mount it (

sudo mount /dev/sdxy /some/empty/directory

) and see if it's there.

You can also try

sudo updatedb && locate syslinux.cfg

to search for it.

if i use configure with --disable--sanitizers, does it increase my risk of getting a virus?

I know I can use diff -s to know if two files are identical. Now I want to execute some command when they are not, what would be the easiest way to do this?

>>59594784
There are no viruses, just programs.

>>59594792

Someone knows some good config for rTorrent? I talk about peers, seeders and leechers, throttle etc

I have 100Mb/10Mb as connection.

>>59594815
So diff -s file1 file2 || rm file2 && variable=0 would work?

>>59594896
Yes

I went balls deep and installed linux over windows. Now I've forgotten my password, how do I change it if I can't remember the old one without a clean install???

>>59594896
Basically, but don't rely on && and ||, for a solid solution use if/else, since && and || depend on the exit status of the last command, so when, in your example, rm fails to remove fil2, varibale=0 will not run. Use && and || only for simple stuff.

>>59594908
Thanks! What if I want to use more than one command in each case?

>>59594998

diff -s file1 file2 && { echo pussy; echo identical; } || { echo ass; echo non-identical; }

>>59594968
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword
Read "the other way"

>>59594998
diff -s file1 file2 && (something && something else) || (something && something else)

But as >>59594970 said, use ifs for more complicated stuff:

if diff file1 file2; then
    echo identical
    echo ass
else
    echo non-identical
    echo pussy

I was referring to the question "alsa or pulse", since it's a stupid question.

>>59597025
So you magically know what ever person is running?

>>59597037
Yes, since you either run alsa alone, or alsa with pulse.

>>59597059
Right,so jackoff here could be running alsa standalone or runing pulse.
At which point either answer results in further information being given

>>59597074

why does it seem to be universally accepted that there is no malware for gnu/linux? is linux just more secure than windows, or is it just because linux doesn't have enough users to merit writing viruses?

>>59599393
Both.

If i use a musl distro like the musl version of void, am I going to encounter any problems like packages not working?

>>59599393
It's not a homogenous ecosystem like windows or osx so malware for one distro may not work on another, it's typically more secure and it has a smaller user base of more security conscious users.

It's potentially a lot more work for less reward than targeting windows, osx, Android or iOS.

File: Infinality-like fonts without patched packages.png (295KB, 1409x876px) Image search: [Google]

295KB, 1409x876px

Font rendering on Arch came up in another thread so I made this guide on getting infinality like fonts. Since it comes up a lot and harfbuzz broke the infinality bundle in January I thought I'd share it here too and keep it on hand for whenever it comes up.

-Creating an Infinality-like font configuration for Arch-

From a clean slate on Arch we can now create a similar font configuration to the infinality-bundle's without having to use the patched packages. It is now possible to easily get great-looking results with the default interpreter.

1. Create the following symlinks to instruct freetype2 to use good-looking rendering defaults

sudo ln -s /etc/fonts/conf.avail/11-lcdfilter-default.conf /etc/fonts/conf.d

sudo ln -s /etc/fonts/conf.avail/10-sub-pixel-rgb.conf /etc/fonts/conf.d

2. Modify (or create)

/etc/fonts/local.conf

to contain these contents: https://pastebin.com/rnDtdzt5

3. At this point your fonts should look pretty good but we can do even better by making sure that we have all fonts on the system that were defined as substitutions earlier. To do this we need to install the packages

fonts-meta-extended-lt

and

fonts-meta-base

from the AUR which will build the rest of the fonts required.

After having done all this, restarting the X-server by logging out and back in should apply all changes.

I really don't understand why. Why isn't there a universal wallpaper setter that forcefully draws on the root window like feh does? For example "display -window root wall.png" should draw on the root windows, but with compositors like compton enabled, it draws below the root windows, so it's useless. Same with other programs I tried.

$ cd ~/Music
$ mkdir 'Album Name'

$ youtube-dl --extract-audio --audio-format mp3 --audio-quality 0 https://www.youtube.com/PLAYLIST_URL

Repeat for each playlist.

The first playlist would be.

$ mkdir 'Del & Woody'
$ cd 'Del & Woody'
$ youtube-dl --extract-audio --audio-format mp3 --audio-quality 0 https://www.youtube.com/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_BJU8YHYnE&list=PL_sqKEN99tuL31HVQ2BUbkR1bOWqZxEbg

Or you could download and extract audio of every playlist at once with

but you'd have to sort them afterwards I believe. youtube-dl will save the files to whatever the current directory is. Surely there are tons of other things you could do, that's just my 2 cents.

a) 17:30 is a string, not an integer, so you compare it with = instead of -eq

>>59604831
Publishers often refer to copying they don't approve of as “piracy.” In this way, they imply that it is ethically equivalent to attacking ships on the high seas, kidnapping and murdering the people on them. Based on such propaganda, they have procured laws in most of the world to forbid copying in most (or sometimes all) circumstances. (They are still pressuring to make these prohibitions more complete.)

If you don't believe that copying not approved by the publisher is just like kidnapping and murder, you might prefer not to use the word “piracy” to describe it. Neutral terms such as “unauthorized copying” (or “prohibited copying” for the situation where it is illegal) are available for use instead. Some of us might even prefer to use a positive term such as “sharing information with your neighbor.”

I'm running an old Intel NUC with HD4000 graphics and an old version of Mint

Whenever I'm on any website that has animations or video, my CPU fan goes crazy. Sometimes if it's particularly warm in the room, I get lockups

I know my current Mint version doesn't support HD4000 and I'd have to either bork my install and have scary manual system updates, or just never update anything

Does this sound like something that I could fix by just blowing everything out and going with a newer distro? I want to have a 100% plain vanilla default install, with the official repos only, and no third party stuff. And as an add-on to that, what's good these days? I ran Debian for years and it was remarkably stable but it required a lot of fucking around to get hardware support, which is what I'm trying to avoid here

Should I just get Ubuntu even though they hate my privacy?

It isn't even just an init system anymore, it's trying (and succeeding) to replace the entire userland, they even got into the kernel with kdbus/bus1, and the team in charge is the one that worked on PulseAudio.

I'm sure it wouldn't get half the hate it gets if it was actually optional, but the CIA niggers decided to force almost every popular Distro to adopt it. Well, at least I wouldn't hate it if I could choose between installing systemd, openrc, runit, etc. when I was on Debian (and later, Arch).

Also I think sysv is shit too, but this is one of those cases in which the cure was worse than the disease.

>>59605090
So is there another distro out there that picks up most common modern hardware (I would assume HD4000 counts as "common hardware") straight off the boot image or contains it in the repos?

Like I said, I used to think it was fun to tinker and fuck around with config files but I just want something that works without paying for Windows. What's the problem with Ubuntu other than the privacy issue which can be disabled? I don't give a shit about ricing or ideology.

Don't quote me on this but I heard it skips the wait on the splash screen or something, so you can't get into the BIOS by mashing buttons anymore but it shaves a few seconds off boot times.

What's the best way to get a recent ffmpeg working on Ubuntu? I don't want to handle dependencies manually so I'm hoping there's some sort of compile helper script out there like there is for mpv. Its bad enough compiling exponentially smaller projects without any help but a readme

use whatever software gets the job done. you're being an idiot by saying 'no i must use ffmpeg although libav does the same job and is easier to install'

you really don't want to compile ffmpeg and its deps by hand

>>59607445
I'd still have to compile it from source because I need the most recent stable release, and besides that ffmpeg is better maintained and receives features and support faster than libav due to it being the more popular choice
>>59607521
Yeah, but I have to. PPAs aren't an option either because they more often than not fuck up dependencies for other software in Ubuntu's normal repos. I'm speaking from personal experience
