Has anyone here tried Sparkylinux? It's a rolling release distro based on Debian testing. I'm not a distro expert, so what are your thoughts on it, if you have used it?

Can I do GPU pass through on a windows VM on an optimus laptop?

GNU+Linux is a lost cause.

Hey there, I'm sort of new to Linux (using Ubuntu 16.04) and had a quick question. I've read that the upstart init process was replaced with systemd a while back. Does that mean that /etc/init.d & rc#.d (systemv) and /etc/init (upstart) are no longer used and could in theory, be deleted? Just trying to understand the init process better.

all gtk themes look like shit

Just what I came here to ask about.
What is the point of Wayland?
What does it do better than other display server DE things?

>>59918885
Systemd doesn't use them but supports them for compatibility. Ubuntu may still use them if they haven't fully migrated to systemd services yet.

>>59919446
Watched a talk about this topic and it seems like that X11 is like a pyramid of horrible workarounds which actually work. Wayland want to make things better. As a user you wount feel any difference but it can make things easier for a programmer.

>>59919480
Oh. Are KDE, Gnome, and all those all based on X11?
So Wayland is something new for things like KDE to base on? Hm okay.
But despite Wayland showing up ages ago, it's still very much in its infancy?

>>59919446

>>59919652
>Are KDE, Gnome, and all those all based on X11?
Gnome can run solely on wayland already.
KDE is working on it.

>But despite Wayland showing up ages ago, it's still very much in its infancy?

First of all. X11 and wayland are protocols, weston and xorg are implementations.

Depends on how you look at it.
Merely in age terms, yes. X11 is more than 30 years old.
In terms of usability, no. Wayland is basically ready. And it's main implementations weston and mutter are mostly fixing bugs at the moment.

So why would you use KDE with X instead of Wayland, then?

>>59919882
1. Wipe partitions.
2. Download Gentoo.
3. Put it on your installation medium.
4. Boot into the installer.
5. Install Gentoo.

>>59919954
Some software may not work perfectly on wayland yet. Namely, some virtualbox shortcuts still don't work perfectly.

Some distros may not easily support it yet because it's considered less stable.

>>59919962

Ask on the Antergos forums what they did to the Firefox package and other dependencies of it.

>>59919974
Elaborate pls. I'm not the origial poster.

>>59919954
idk i dont use KDE but its probably because KDE uses X by default

Sometimes, when I drag a picture around in my browser or file manager, my screen starts to fill with black rectangles starting in the upper left corner of the screen.
What could be causing this? journalctl does not seem to log whatever is doing this.

>>59919986
Darn. Thanks.
I hear all these complaints X, windowing on Linux, blah blah. But I guess I'll just be using KDE with X anyway.

Is there a distro without flaws?
I must know.

It's impossible to be completely flawless. Because eventually you'll hit a point where a feature to some people is a flaw to others.

I'd say that probably the closest thing we have to a project working on a "flawless linux distro" would be NixOS or GuixSD
I say that because they more or less eliminate unpredictable flaws in user setups (and also eliminate unpredictable flaws snowballing over time)

If nixos contains flaws (and your nix config file doesn't contain flaws) then those flaws are completely reproducible and the problem is not with your machine. It will be with the software itself or nixos, and the developers should work on fixing it.

>>59920142

It's OS.

>>59920054
>>59920172
Also for the record, NixOS and GuixSD are still not really considered to be ready for daily use (especially guixsd).

Is there any web browser that provide an AppImage?
Normie sites no longer support the old versions of Firefox, and youtube doesn't play 360 videos.

>>59921360
why do you need it as an appimage?

>>59921380
I don't want to install it?
Because installing a web brwoser would force the update of certain packages which will prevent other applications from running unless I updates those applications.

AppImage is a way to bypass those.

help, my wifi is blocked and I don't know why - the bios hasn't blocked it, nor has the keyboard button. It was working previously, so I have no idea what stopped it.

Hard blocked: no
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes
2: hci0: Bluetooth

Are these trusted AppImages?

>>59921561
if you click download on any of the listed appimages on their github (https://github.com/probonopd/AppImageKit/wiki/AppImages)
it leads to that side and the github is linked on the official appimage site (http://appimage.org/)
so id guess its trusted

Thanks.
While I admire GNU/Linux way of sharing the libraries.
Sometimes when you want to have multiple instants of different versions of the same application, it would become very difficult.
>>59921608
I've asked in FF thread a few days ago and some anon told the addon didn't work.

I like AppImage approach though, even if it's more windows way of handling things.

It can come handy for low end devices where the latest version of the package is not available in the official repos, or when the package doesn't exist and you would need to build it from source.

Though I've lately started to use it to populate my 32GB flash drive that have puppy linux, with various applications.

But what actual difference is there between Antergos and Arch?

Derivatives are good for one thing, and that's seeing how other people configure their setup. CrunchBang was very influential for me, and was great to learn on after years of stagnation on *buntu, however it doesn't really work better than Debian. It's just setup in a better way from the start. Shows you a new way to do things. For this reason, I say install a normal distro, and use/learn on the meme distros in a VM.

How do I install the latest proprietary Nvidia drivers on Fedora 26? I don't understand cause Wayland and all that

Is there any real downside to not making any partitions and just installing everything on a 1TB hard drive?

>>59925068
>I tried to install dell on my old ubuntu
I don't think you're doing it right. Forget everything you learned about the topic and start over. You were trained wrong perhaps as joke.

>>59924987
If you later want to change distros(or you otherwise have to reinstall the OS), having a separate /home partition makes it much easier to do without losing any data(or having to restore it from backups, I should say) or settings you might want to keep.

Other than that, not really.

>>59924987

there's very little downsides to doing it this way but the upsides to creating separate partitions, at least for boot, swap, root, and home, are that it's easier to change distros or change partition sizes, or just generally do anything without having to worry

home folders are distro agnostic so long as you don't format it you're good to go - it's highly recommended to have a separate home partition, having swap on its own partition is useful because creating a swap file can be a pain, boot is always nice to have on its own partition if you ever choose to encrypt the rest of the system and root on its own partition just for the hell of it

Give me something to understand what I am doing.

>>59925242

for starters it's not dell but gnu/dell, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus dell. dell is not an operating system unto itself

but seriously though have you tried another distro? maybe looked at guides to installing linux to it from around the time you bought it? I have problems with ubuntu on modern hardware that I don't necessarily get on other distros

also try a more recent kernel if you can, preferably an untouched mainline kernel, you might just be having problems on a particular kernel that an older or newer kernel might not have

stop mentioning the kernel already
it's inane

How did GNU function before Linux? If they desperately needed a kernel how did they use it?

>>59926262
They used other kernels.
TRIX and some BSD microkernel are often quoted.

You have to remember that GNU was started in 1983 and by 1990 they had major stuff like GCC, bash and other shite finished. GPL was released in 1989, before that the entire thing was "in development" and most likely unknown outside the circle of developers + few dozens of interested people.

>>59926445
BSD existed well before GNU and was open source, was the license too restrictive?

>>59926578
GNU =! Open Source
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.en.html

>>59926578
At this time (before GNU) BSD was proprietary.

>>59926578
BSD got into massive shitflinging with AT&T due to lawsuit by said corporation.

And the time of the lawsuit coincided with the first years of development of Linux and GNU being "released to the public".

Since rms's goal for GNU was to not contain a single line of code of Unix (GNU's not Unix) and Linux was an entirely independent project noone could sue them so they received a gigantic headstart compared to BSD.
And here we are, stuck with this shit.

It's a shame hurd didn't succeed really

In under a week I've always gone back to my shitty, bloated, un-updated pirated Windows 7 install. Is this normal? Arch has ironically been the easiest to sort of get to where I want it to be, but it still has it's own problems. Is there any hope for me?

>>59929664
Maybe windows is the right choice for you.

>>59929679
But I don't think it is, I'm not a gamer and I don't have a job that requires Windows programs. On top of that I used OS X for most of my life.

>>59929664
Windows is best for you.

Distro hopping is perfectly fine. Just keep backups. But if you don't like things that are common in linux, then you're better home at Windows or macOS.

>>59929664
don't get memed, windows just werks.

>>59929627
Use the NV binaries. Noveau really sucks in 2d. It feels sluggish everywhere, compositor or not. Also keep in mind that many distros offer multiple Nvidia branches. If you're using an older card it might have assumed to use 304.xx instead of 35x.xx or newer. Not sure if the overscan issue was part of a previous driver. HDMI is kind of fucky to begin with.

Not really well for doing command line stuff. That is actually why I like Mac because it works and you can do the same terminal commands.

I would really like to start using Linux as a daily driver and be as FOSS as possible. How recommended is it to have a separate PC just for Ganoo Leenux? I have a decent power supply, case, and a 500gb 7200rpm hard drive lying around that I could use. Really all I would need to buy is a mobo, memory, and a cpu. If I went with something like a pentium g4560 and 8gb of ram it would only cost about $215 (this is well within my monthly spending money).

Or would it be better to just live boot/ make a partition on my existing powerful desktop? I'm hoping to eventually make it so I'm using linux for everything but games and use GPU passthrough for that.

If I switch to the terminal on the login screen, run startx, and then run mate-session, it will actually work fine. I also did a reinstall of Antergos, formatting the root partition but leaving the home partition alone, and I have the same issue now with lightDM. Any ideas at all?
