>resetting the bootloader after updates
doubt it's every update, probably applies only to big updates like "anniversary" or "creators'"
you can just have a live usb ready to reinstall grub from every once in a while, or have different OSes on different drives if you have more than one

>>59939299
I dual boot win10 and loonix since win10 was released and never saw it rewrite the bootloader, not even when I upgraded from 10240 to anniversary. That being said I use enterprise, dunno about home/pro.

Anyway you can always:
1. download the supergrub2 iso
2. download and install easyBCD (free for home use)
3. in easyBCD set the boot menu to the text mode, non-metro boot menu, set it to count down rather than booting the default
4. add the supergrub iso as a menuitem, set it to load to RAM. If windows fucks your your GRUB MBR you can start the supergrub2 iso, boot to your loonix system and restore grub from within.

>>59939350
There will be a option that says something on the lines "Live Desktop". Did you setup the bios/uefi to boot from an usb?
Which windows are you using? You have to make a hard shutdown or something like that. I think you have to hold shift while hovering the power menu.

Thank you mates. One more probably retarded question; I've never dual booted before, is it as simple as just putting the Linux partition(s) alongside the Windows partition in the partitioning tool or is there an extra step I have to take?

I bought a new cheap Lenovo notebook for my Mum. She's never used anything but Windows, and this thing came with Windows 10 preinstalled. All my mom does it web browsing, Powerpoint and text processing, also stupid card games and Mahjongg. Don't get me wrong I really wouldn't give a shit, but I tried setting this thing up and Windows 10 is the biggest pile of shit I have witnessed in my entire life. There are too many flaws to even list, let's just say I'm astonished people spend their money on this monstrosity.

So here goes my question. Is it possible, in the year 2017, to install Ubuntu or some other distribution of choice, that accomplishes what my Mom requires, provides a good UX, updates itself without breaking, and supports pretty much standard hardware? I just want to wipe this Windows thing off the hard drive, install a distribution, drivers and packages, and be done with it _FOREVER_. I recently read about Ubuntu shitting up /boot with stale kernels, thereby breaking its update mechanism. I don't want any such problems, just hand it to her and never hear about the device ever again.

Is this feasible? Thanks in advance, kind anons.

>>59939764
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.

>>59939682
>cheap Lenovo notebook

This thing probably has some fucktarded uefi that won't let you shut down secureboot, power management that doesn't adhere acpi standards (chinese love to do that shit) AND has a no-name wlan card or even better, a fucking broadcom one.

You need to access the boot menu.

The key to access it depends on your PC make and model. F12 and F2 are most common. Some BIOS will let you rearrange the boot order, you can do that too and place USB first.

Help

I've got Antergos linux installed, and I use MATE DE. For some reason, I can now not login using MATE or XFCE4. I'm using gdm, and if I login with either of those selected, it'll just throw me back to the login screen. If I try logging in with Gnome, however, I have no issues at all. 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? I can't think of what I could have done to cause this.

>>59942436
Did you allow it to do the partitioning automatically when you initially installed? And are you installing on a completely blank drive?

>>59942064

>>59942064
Parabola. It's essentially Arch but only libre packages. Make sure your hardware works with the linux-libre kernel first.

>>59942534
Huh, formatting should be done automatically during the install if you did that, so I'm not sure why it wouldn't work. Are you comfortable removing the hard drive from the computer you're installing linux onto? If so, try doing that and connecting it to another computer, and then formatting it to remove all traces of anything from the hard drive. Then put it back into the computer and allow it to do the partitioning automatically.

That's assuming you don't want Windows on there as well.

Is this the only good free game for GNU/Linux (besides roguelikes)?

I have multiple questions for you /fglt/

1) My gf wan't to erase Windows 10 from her existence, and want a Linux (she used my laptop with a Mint Cinnamon for some months before buying a new laptop).
The only thing she wants is a modern browser with Netflix support, a media player, and that's all. No update, no error message, just work and use the browser.
It will probably end with Debian Cinnamon (I'll update it once per month) but do you have an other recomandation ?

2) I'll probably nuke my Windows Workstation and put a Linux on it, but I don't know which one.
Debian Unstable, *buntu, or Fedora (never touch a RPM distrib)

3) For a small server, what would you recommend (and what are the differences)
Debian vs Ubuntu Server
Fedora Server vs CentOS
DEB vs RPM

>>59944931
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.

>>59944922
idk about xsel but xclip is really easy
use

cat ~/path/to/pasta | xclip -selection c

to use the other clipboard (if you want to use Ctrl-V to paste)

also

xclip -o

outputs the contents of the selected clipboard

>>59945645

Solved it. I guess the 0 value on 'libinput Accel Speed' is 0 variance from the "normal" speed. set that to -0.5 which is 50% less and it gave a noticeable difference.

my understanding is that you have to blacklist the driver in Linux, and make sure the card isn't used until you start the VM. you'd have to reboot at least to use it in linux again, if at all. basically, buy two gpus.

What are the best books about cybersecurity and remaining in the dark on the Internet?
Some information about me got leaked and a part of my personal data has been revealed. This happened because of my carelessness, and this is now a good reason to learn and care about my privacy.

What minor things I did so far:

>switched to BlackPantherOS because I had a CD of it
>I started to use Google services indirectly

Now I realise I cannot be entirely alone cause I do not have the ability to gain control of the servers of the services so I just want to achieve the goal that makes me partially invisible from the general population.
