/fglt/ - Friendly GNU/Linux Thread

First for STFU BSD/systemd fags

can GNU/Linux GNU/Solve the GNU/Spam problem the GNU/Wiki is having?

>>60124126
It's not the BSD thread but you retards have no arguments for why BSD is actually bad except
>muh drivers
>muh cuck license
Ironically that's the same argument winfags use.
Really makes you think.

>>60124126
Ironic because OpenBSD is the only OS that is completely secure and free

BSD's are not really that bad after all. Linus is an idiot. However GNU needs lot more work. I know it's already better than legacy Unix utils but I think it has a lot more polishing left

RICE stands for Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancement and was originally referring to shitty cosmetic car mods used by inbred Asians a-la Fast and the Furious. So basically, those screenshots of neon-colored terminals and anime pictures in desktop threads? That is rice.

Arch is basically installed from the command line, it's easy when you have a guide. You partition your hard drive, install the system, and that's pretty much it. It is up to you to install X (the windowing system) and then a window manager or desktop environment, as well as any software you will use such as web browser, text editor, etc.

Manjaro and Antergos (I spelled it wrong initally I think) have a GUI installer and give you a desktop environment, as well as a few programs, ending in a ready-to-use system after installation. Being based off of Arch they give you the same package manager, pacman. Antegros uses Arch's repository while Manjaro uses its own. If you can do it, I say just use Arch.

>>60124222
that is the full story. someone (probably some angry autist lol) wrote a spambot and has been creating thousands of new pages with nonsense garbage. occasionally it changes normal articles into garbage, but mostly it's just hundreds and hundreds of "norton pro phone number" pages.

Hey /g/, what's the best lightweight and user-friendly distro for daily use?

GNU veteran here. I put Fedora on a friend's spare laptop ages ago and he hasn't had much fun figuring out how to use it. What sort of things should I be teaching him later today when he comes over? I'll have to teach him about dnf probably. I haven't used Fedora, so I might install it in a VM. I may also help him setup aliases so I can just have him run 'update' in the future.

He's into music production also, so I'm hoping he'll be interested to mess around with jack and maybe teach me about it at some point.

>>60124251
This. Having a shit-hits-the-fan ThinkPad with GNU/Hurd on it sounds amazing.

>>60124261
Slackware with Xfce4. No lie

>>60124265
>music production
You may want to look into a low latency kernel.

>>60124261
Lightweight and user-friendly are often opposite directions. I find i3 to be both, but it is tricky when first starting out due to how different it is from the usual. I would just install something minimal like Arch and then install i3. For the Arch install, I recommend Arch Anywhere. You may also want to watch a short video on the i3 basics so you know what you're getting into. openbox is another lightweight option if you want something floating.

>>60124265
>He's into music production also
And you gave him fedora? Why didn't you suggest him Ubuntu studio? It has
1. Built in production software goodness
2. Large online help

>>60124299
He's doing production on another machine already, also derivatives are generally pretty bad, and I had recently been hearing Fedora was easy to install and use for anyone now.
>>60124288
Good idea. Thanks.

>>60124309
Well Ubuntu Studio ships low latency kernel fyi.

>Derivatives are bad
Um, both fedora and debian prevent you from using non free media codecs by default. But I don't know the situation there. It's just a suggestion.

How does Source Mage compare to Gentoo.
I know in Gentoo having a Musl libc and Libressl is pretty easy, how easy does Source Mage make these kind of setups?

>>60124261
Both of the recommendations fail the user friendly test. Antix is the distro you are looking for anon.

CWM, or Calm Window Manager.
It's stacking, but instead of virtual desktops, you have one desktop and you assign windows to groups that you can hide and unhide.
It works really well both ootb and extended with wmutils.

if you're a programmer, the only windows you'll be cycling are:
1. ure favourite shell (there's people who're too dumb to setup a powerful shell with syntax highlighting and fuzzy history search)
2. ure favourite IDE (could also run inside your terminal!!!)
3. ure favourite browser (which should be a custom build of either firefox or chromium with all the tracking disabled)
4. ure favourite email client (there's people who still use gmail in this year instead of they are own server :O :O :O )
5. ure favourite media player for watching anime during breaks (there's people who unironically use vlc instead of mpv :O )

considering this use-scenario, why the FUCK would you need a full blown BLOATY as fuck DE to accomplish cycling between windows?

Nice tabs.

So I installed Linux (Manjaro) since quite a while for the KDE desktop, and the second day of use I tried to switch from non-free to nouveau Nvidia drivers with the manjaro built in tool for that, and of course it bricked the system. Hangs at startup now and doesnt even get to tty. Sigh.

I just want a good KDE 5 distro that works.

What should I go with then?

>>60124805
no. debian is the best stable distro. it's got professional and competent developers (a few of them drunk too much sjw koolaid though), and it isn't maintained by a corporation like red hat or canonical that only wants to exploit you for profit. also it's 100% free, and easy to keep that way.

>>60127579

Why? Debian Stable is for servers, nothing else. Using it on desktop is utter madness. Upgrade to either Testing or Unstable if you want to use Debian on desktop.

As for the GPU support, a recent release of the free amdgpu driver should perform well.
There's also the proprietary amdgpu-pro driver, but it's only officially supported on Ubuntu, RHEL/CentOS, and SLES/SLED.

17.04 has newer packages (most are only 3 months-1 year old), so will work better on new hardware. 14.04 is a long term support release, with official security updates until 2019, as is 16.04 (until 2021). 17.04 isn't LTS will probably need to be upgraded when 17.10 comes out near the end of the year. Unless it's a server you don't want to touch very much, there isn't really a reason to use an older version, because you'll just update your desktop anyway.
Also, another tip:
Ubuntu is bad, there isn't any reason to use it over Debian. 99% of Debian packages work, especially .debs, so you should be fine using it. Debian is much better than Ubuntu, because it doesn't have canonical/Amazon's bloat and bullshit.

I bought a ThinkPad so I can tell YouTubers to kill themselves from the comfort of my living room, and I want it to have Linux for full meme potential. I have two questions, and I'll try to make the second one not so stupid that you refuse to help me.

1) Can I download a distro onto my hard drive, partition the hard drive, and install Linux onto the new partition so I can dual-boot? Or will I need a USB drive or a blank DVD or something?

2) Please recommend a distro. I have used CentOS, but I want a more middle-of-the-road distro that, at the same time, isn't too normie. I don't want Mint or Ubuntu or Manjaro or Debian or anything else that has shills on /g/. I like the sound of Mageia or Fedora, because they're fairly normal and don't have faggy names. I want the same GUI that CentOS 7 has, and lots of opportunities for terminal use. I will probably only use it for Internet browsing and maybe trying to learn more IT skills and programming. However, it would be nice to have lots of packages, even if I never use them. Hundreds of packages for one specific purpose will feel a bit pointless, though, so I don't want Kali. I will probably use this distro for a bit before trying to become le ebin Arch or Gentoo user. Which of the top 50 distros on DistroWatch would be best for what I want?

Is there a guide on patching GTK to have thumbnails in the filepicker? I can only find the patches but not how to use them. I'm a babby.

after having all these chuckles and seeing you actually liked CentOS, just go with Fedora. I also suggest you to kill yourself as soon as you can.

Pardon me for one moment. What you are calling Linux, is in actuality, GNU/Linux, or as I have nicknamed it, GNU plus Linux. Linux isn't an operating system by itself, but it is just another part of the GNU system, which has been extended in functionality via various GNU components (including GNU's shell utilities and corelibs) which only then fit the definition of a complete operating system as outlined by POSIX.

There are many people today who are running the GNU operating system without even being aware of it. Through a strange turn of events, a misnomer has emerged where people refer to a widely used version of the GNU system as "Linux", unaware that the proper name for the system they run is the GNU operating system.

Now while they are in fact using Linux, it is only one component of the system that they run. Linux is used as the kernel: the part of an operating system which distributes a machine's resources to other programs which request them. While this functionality is essential for the successful functioning of a system, it cannot function on its own, it needs an operating system within which it can carry out its functions. Linux is commonly paired with the GNU operating system: the entirety of the system is GNU with the addition of Linux, or GNU/Linux. Every single "Linux Distribution" is actually a distribution of GNU/Linux.

There you go, anon. 1.6 per core is pretty bad these days.

And the distro doesn't matter

The developers behind the distro would verify the software themselves that it wasn't malicious before signing it. Yes there is a level of trust, but everything is working fine so far.

Is shit like this typical for linux? What do you even pay for then as a redhat customer? To have possibly exploitables vulnerabilities in kernel for 9 fucking months? As far as I understand it was fixed upstream on 2016-03-14 in [3] and for some reason only assigned a CVE in August, 30 [4], for some reason to be rediscovered by redhat only in october [5] And even after than it took 2 more months to patch. Am I just retarded and misunderstand something or is this as shit as it looks?

>>60132033
>What do you even pay for then as a redhat customer?
systemD development.

Following kernelnewbies.org to start learning about kernel development.

Currently compiling the kernel. Not sure I should let it continue, it's going to take ages on my old laptop. Maybe I should strip it down to a bare kernel just to prove the compilation worked, but not have all the drivers in it.

>>60132082
What is the point of just compiling it? Literally about zero things can fail there and all you learn is three commands (make/make modules_install/make install)
Abort compilation, do "make mrproper" to cleanup and "make defconfig" for a default, somewhat lean config to edit later or even "make allnoconfig" for basically nothing enabled by default. And learn how to configure it right away.

>>60132121
thanks. will do that.

when you say learn to configure, you mean the options that I'd like to compile with?

>>60132140
yeah, run make menuconfig and read help on all the options (by pressing h), use search engines for shit you don't understand (or if lazy, you can mostly rely on recommendations included in the help - of the form "Unless you are asolutely sure, say Y/N here" if you can't understand what the option does, many options have these recommendations). For hardware you'd have to use something like lshw, lspci etc to check what drivers your system needs, lsmod for currently loaded kernel modules and enable these specific ones you need in the config.

It doesn't benefit society if, for example, everyone's private keys were public.

Secrets doesn't mean keys, it means patents, software requiring licences etc.

If the government had their own crypto miles ahead of AES, wouldn't it be better if the public had access to it too?
