if you're going to run it on your hardware and it requires a firmware blob to function properly you will install it anyways.

It's the same reason why debian despite buddying up with FSF still maintains a non-free repository which disqualifies it as a truly free distribution. To make the process easier for the user.

Dumbphone masterrace.

I wouldn't mind a phone that could text, make phone calls and browse the web, while being all/mostly free software. That's all I do on my phone, and it's pretty obvious that iOS and Android are both massive botnets at this point.

>>59773868
thanks

>>59773821
[optional]
unlock your bootloader, find your device at https://download.lineageos.org/, download an image for that device if it's available
[/optional]
go to settings - security and enable installation of apps from unknown sources
go to f-droid.org, download and install the apk. Get all your software from that repository instead of the Google Play Store. That one will be unavailable to you anyways, because:

under no circumstance, never, add a Google account to the device.

Then you will have the ideal combination of freedom and usability, a phone that runs Android without Google services and only free software (except for drivers)

What are the hottest Debian-based distros nowadays?

I'm looking for minimal and light, but I don't really have time to pimp up Debian from scratch again. I remember I used to install #! before because it was just a nice looking Debian without all the bloat.

>>59774058
Bunsenlabs is just like #!. But you could aswell just install Debian and copy crunchbang configs.

>>59774058
Debian isn't bloated. The option for a minimal install is about half of Arch nowadays, and it can be shrunk as low as 800mb.

Hi guys! Some folk would enlight me a little about ACL? I want certain folder on Debian to inherit parent permissions when I put files on them.

If userbenchmarks is to be trusted on 4 threads it will be slightly worse or about the same as my i5-750 for which it takes ~5 hours to compile chromium, ~45 minutes for firefox, about 30 mins for gcc.

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.

Best firmware for Router ?

I only need the following features :
- ad blocking
- qos / bandwidth limit for certain devices

Optional :
- url log (so I can block ads that's not blocked on my phone)

Also, should I buy router or SBC for this purpose ?

>>59775906
Literally identical to Arch, expert the kernel has no proprietary firmware/drivers, and you can't install any nonfree software. It's great if you entirely use free software (no steam etc), and have hardware that doesn't need blobs (usually wifi cards).

I start learning how to use linux, how the hell do you memorize all the commands for the terminal, do you keep a sheet next to your monitor or something? Or do you just remember from constantly using them?

>>59776462
>do you keep a sheet next to your monitor
You remember the stuff you use the most. Maybe keep a notes.txt in ~/Documents. I've been doing that since I started a couple of years ago and I still make new notes and find old ones useful.

>>59776462

Learning how to find help in linux is really useful, make sure you know:

man xxx
xxx -h
xxx -help

>>59776462
I learned by installing openbox, firefox, mpv and lxterminal on debian netisnt
at first I forced myself to do everything via terminal except for browing and watching anime
(I didn't even have a taskbar/panel, just a wm, terminal, browser and mpv)
then I was required to figure out how some things work and what makes up a DE in order to bring functionality to my desktop
I installed pcmanfm (file manager), feh (for wallpapers), tint2 (taskbar), lxappearance for themes and mousepad for editing some configs

just try doing everything in the terminal (besides the stuff you obviously can't like web browsing and image/video viewing, etc) for a month

>>59776462
Just by constantly using them. Try to do most tasks in the terminal and you'll learn the common command pretty quick. Memorizing them all isn't really feasible. I've been using linux for >10 years and for those couple of times a year commands, I still have to look them up. Same for the couple times a year arguments.

Using Ctrl+R to search your bash history is also helpful.

I'm trying to install i3-gaps and I'm getting weird problems. For one, when I try to run ./configure to get a make file, I get this error:

configure: error: in '/usr/local/src/i3-gaps/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu':
configure: error: cannot find the required ev_run() function despite trying to link with -lev

Just running the make command from the wiki page doesn't do anything, just tells me make has no arguments. Anybody happen to know what I'm fucking up?

Nouveau or NVIDIA for bumblebee on a laptop?

>>59777389
Well, nouveau is the technically better solution as it's a lot less finicky. Problem is, nouveau performance is absolute dogshit (truly awful, probably 10% of the proprietary driver's performance). If you need the discrete card, you probably care about performance, so nouveau isn't good enough. On the upside, this actually works really well, like on windows (it's largely useless, because your integrated graphics probably get better performance).

Bumblebee is a terrible hack, but it can be usable enough (you manually launch the program you want better performance in by prepending "optirun" to the command). It has a lot of issues, such as crashing, but tends to work decently once you finish the painful initial setup. It also depends on the proprietary nvidia driver.

>>59776574
That helps with command-options, but not with memorizing the command itself.

Is there any 802.11n chipset that doesn't run like dogshit on linux? I've tried Intel, Atheros and Broadcom cards. None of them go as fast as on Windows. In fact they are always at least 50% slower. I can max out my 100mb/s pipe on Windows but I struggle to reach 40-45mb/s with the same cards on Linux and they have lagspikes way too frequently.

What are your thoughts on spacemacs? I've used vim for around 15 years and just got around to trying it. I like it so far, it's like vim but with elisp. Daemon mode is really good, too.

Currently in the process of compiling padavan (with proprietary wifi driver), it takes a long time but I hope that solves the problem.

Is bumblebee being painful a meme or reality? I'm not sure if I should get a laptop with optimus (xps 15 vs 13). Ideally I'd like to be able to just pick a GPU from lightDM or something, or just reboot and pick a card on boot, instead of using a painful solution like bumblebee. Is that doable?

>>59778596
For $25, it's compatible with openwrt / lede, has 16 MB ROM and 64 MB RAM.
Hell, Mi WiFi 3 has 128 MB ROM and 128 MB RAM for the same price range.

If shit doesn't work, I'll just set it up as access point.

After crowdfunding, Daniel Goelle just completed the damn driver in March 2017, so any stable lede firmware for xiaomi after that date should be better than current stable (17.0.1).

That theme screams "look at me I'm so fancy look at all this 3D".

because firefox is bloated and developed by retard sjws who can't actually program
that said, you should still use it over chromium because chrome and chromium are both apex tier botnets created by an ad company

my specs are:

i tried ubuntu a couple of years back but the screen would go black after 10 min and the internet kept disconecting every 2 minutes (100Mb conection with user/password to acces)
I know APU support isnt great(or wasnt when i tried it) so can anyone recommend me a good linux distro

>>59779155
Off the top of my head: OpenSUSE, Antergos, Fedora, Solus, Ubuntu, Debian Stretch.

I bet Unity was buggy for you a couple years ago, a different desktop environment might help.

>>59779155
distro is really irrelevant for stuff like that, your desktop environment is what really matters. just pick a distro with one that isn't laggy (ubuntu's unity and GNOME are both pretty slow).

You don't need it on Windows too.

Just remember to turn on the firewall after you install GNU/Linux.

Hi, I want to make a simple systemd service unit that runs on boot after the network is online.
I wrote this:

[Unit]
Description=Web Server1
Wants=network-online.target
After=network-online.target

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/python /home/kevin/webserver.py
Restart=on-failure

, named it webserver.service and placed it in /etc/systemd/system

The service works if I do

sudo systemctl start webserver

But doesn't start on boot. I have to run it manually.

I also ran

sudo systemctl enable webserver.service

But nothing happened.
How do I make it run on boot?

At my job I have worked mainly in AWS and have not really had to handle virtualization outside of that beyond running a few VMs locally occasionally.

For managing and running a virtual network and 10+ VMs over 2-3 ideally headless hosts what should I look into as far as vmware vs virtualbox? My company seems to lean towards vmware for internal use so I would be willing to pay a bit for the learning experience.

So, is there any way to have more than one program active on the taskbar or is this DE fucking bottlenecking itself because its trying so hard to not be like windows or mint?

So boot into a live distro and then type in 'lsblk'. When you see drive, type in "grub-install [disk]". Not sure about UEFI.

>>59779582
there's two steps to make grub work (bios);
- grub-install (installs the bootsector onto the disk(s))
- grub-mkconfig (generates a config file)

to completely install grub (or repair it), you can;
- boot a linux livecd (doesn't need to be the same distro or version)
- mount and chroot into your installation
- run two grub commands

for example (assuming root and boot are on /dev/sda1);

# mkdir /tmp/mount
# mount /dev/sda1 /tmp/mount
# mount --bind /dev /tmp/mount/dev
# mount --bind /sys /tmp/mount/sys
# mount --bind /proc /tmp/mount/proc
# chroot /tmp/mount bash
(the following happen in the chroot; the on-disk install)
# grub-install /dev/sda
# grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

I don't see a problem in font rendering. Do you want to change the font or something?

I'm pretty sure it's packaged in with GRUB2 by default, but I don't really know because I use extlinux.

I'm >>59779639. Generally it's obvious when there's bad font rendering because everything is in the TTY monospace font.

Found the solution. (thank you based arch wiki)

Set the enviroment variable

VCL_ICONS_FOR_DARK_THEME=1

>>59779696
Your font rendering seems better than mine, but still, not as good as I've seen with some other anons.

>>59779899
Well one difference I can think of is some people have "infinality" with their fontconfig, but I don't think doing that is very encouraged for some reason.

>>59779898
well never mind. $VCL_ICONS_FOR_DARK_THEME is 1, but LO is still using light theme icons

If you are having problems with your ACLs a good solution is to develop your hamstring and groin.
The ACL is the antagonist ligament of the PCL and avoids that the Tibia slides forwards when the quadriceps is under contraction. Therefore developing the antagonist muscle groups to the quadriceps has the same net effect.

It might be useful to have them written somewhere. Use TAB to auto complete.

You can create a text file in your home called "command-line-help.txt" then in a file called .bashrc in you home folder add this at the end:

alias halp="man ~/command-line-help.txt"

Now every time you type "halp" and hit enter it will show your list of commands.

You can replace "man" by any other reader you prefer, like "more", "less" or "nano".

>>59781845
Btw, if you need help while using another command, hit ctrl+z, and the program will be stopped and put on background. You may them read your help file and type "fg" and hit enter to go back to your command.
