>>60454707
People generally aren't using infinality on Arch anymore since the harbuzz update broke it for everyone (January I think) and last I knew the maintainer has abandoned it and nobody is interested in continuing it anymore. There is a copypasta guide for getting similar fonts without infinality though. I can post it if there is demand for it. The default interpreter is pretty good now. Some decent fonts installed and a good fonts.conf is really all you need.

>>60454960
Blacklist harfbuzz and go on your way.
The new fontconfig looks NOTHING like infinality,even with all the configs and patched fonts.

>>60454981
>Blacklist harfbuzz and go on your way.
Well this is dumb. It broke months ago and nobody is maintaining infinality for arch.

>The new fontconfig
What is "the new font config".

>even with all the configs and patched fonts

We are talking about the same things.The configs for fontconfig dont mimic infinality at all,it looks nothing alike its shit

I have a GTX 970 and can't boot into any Arch variant without getting a blank screen. If I use nomodeset then Xorg won't start. What can I do, apart from getting a proper video card?

>No one needs to maintain it,blacklist it and problems solved.
Why would you blacklist something being actively maintained to use something that abandoned? Simply blacklisting it won't work anyways because the current version breaks infinality.


>We are talking about the same things
No we aren't. I'm talking about this:

-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 and you may wish to stop here but you can improve them more by making sure that you have all fonts on the system that were defined as substitutions earlier. To do this you 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.

This picture is genuinely funny. And more than a little arousing. Right like what if the pizza dispatcher really just didnt give a fuck Looked over at the cutest boy and said: "Well? Get your twinky ass over there!"

BP wasnt very well liked or accepted at his job. People sniggered behind his back calling him gay for being handsome. He wasnt confident or mature enough to defend himself. He was just trying to earn some money to help out his impoverished family.

Pizza boy arrives at anons house and is greeted at the door by a large shut in 4-chaner. Anons pants are down, penis exposed. PB makes the above face. Anon says groughly: "Well? Bring it inside so I can inspect the pizza." PB suspected from the way Anon was looking at him that inspecting the pizza was the last thing on this customers mind. Maybe it was the words "Box Cutter" written in sharpie down Anon's raging boner. PB freezes up. He could run sure, but he knows how seriously Dominos takes it if a delivery boy doesn't come back with the money. They don't care if you bring back the pizza, only the money. He'd never seen or heard of anyone making it past 3 unpaid pie's without getting fired and he was up to 2 already. Some thugs had jumped him on his way home.

Anon raises his voice some more and barks out: "I'm not paying for a wrong pizza, now get your ass in here, I'm hungry." There it was again, that look, Anon was looking right through the pizza box and undressing PB with his eyes. PB Thought of his familys unfurnished concrete apartment, they moved so often and abruptly they couldnt keep any furniture. The paint was pealing and some nights there was hunger for the children in the house. PB told himself he could just put this pizza down on the suspiciously short table in front of him, collect his money and leave. As he walked past Anon he thought he saw Anon's mouth open, some drool hanging off those large lips. PB gulped, he was sure he'd made a mistake. Anon was holding the door still, making PB walk past him and into the house. "Well? Show me the pie!" PB knew throwing the pizza down on the table wouldn't go well, so he bent over, the short table forcing him to bend past his waist. He was so nervous he stumbled forward dropping to his hands on the table, his knees scraping against its edge, his back arched by the awkward pose. The pizza box clattered slightly after falling the last 7 inches to the table. Anon took the opportunity and said "Hey watch it! You probably fucked it up, Now we have to do a more thorough inspection" Anons hand left the door as he gently pushed it, and the door closed on Pizza Boys's innocence that early spring afternoon.

No it's not. Isn't it ironic that the proprietary software developers call us communists? We are the ones who have provided for a free market, where they allow only monopoly. If we are to judge views by their resemblance to Russian Communism, it is the software owners who are the Communists. Even Stallman advocates for capitalism, fuck off dude.


>>60455563
Don't listen to Bill here. Libre software isn't communism, Microsoft bears a close resemblance to it though.
Communism as was practiced in the Soviet Union was a system of central control where all activity was regimented, supposedly for the common good, but actually for the sake of the members of the Communist party. And where copying equipment was closely guarded to prevent illegal copying.

Fuck off dude. Look around you, Bill Gates and the other proprietary software makers are the globalist kikes. Think of it this way, Microsoft is like a communist state, a place of central control where all activity was regimented. We are working to build a system where people are free to decide their own actions; in particular, free to help their neighbors, and free to alter and improve the tools which they use in their daily lives. A system based on voluntary cooperation NOT forcing something that actually resembles communism a la Apple or Microsoft.

this is my keyboard. it lights up blue, and when its not lit up, you can barely see the keys. in windows, the scroll lock button turns the keyboard on, but in linux, it doesnt. how do i turn my keyboard on?

In ruby is there a way to call a function and declare one particular variable
so like

def test(a=1, b=2, c=3)
   puts "#{a}, #{b}, #{c}"
end
test(b=3)

would return

1, 3, 3

>>60456505
Can you rephrase?

>>60455538

>>60456549
Can you override only one variables default value?

Is there a reason why GNU man pages don't consistently indicate what syntax and which options for coreutils are POSIX? That said, I don't know if other implementations (namely, BSD coreutil manpages) are better on the matter but this irks me. Or am I just missing something extremely obvious?

I recommend not looking at your keyboard to type

I hate you. All of you. Fuck you fucking faggots for not telling me about unar. I've been using nonfree unrar like a pathetic cuckold for year and today TODAY I find out that theres are free as in freedom way to unpack shitty rar files. Fuck all of you.

can someone explain why nobody is working on free wifi drivers?

>>60456678
What exactly are you trying to achieve by doing that?

>>60456733
50% Open Source fault. It made half of the community not fiving a fuck about freedom and just install nonfree drivers.
That said, developing nonfree drivers is actually hardcore hacking. You need skilled programmers who can reverse engeneer what the firmware does. This takes ages and even when you finally finished a driver, it's 10 years later and your driver is obsolete.

>>60456733

>>60456733
what do you gain from being able to say the thing that lets you connect to wifi is free? you aren't paying for wifi drivers anyways, and it literally doesn't impact usage at all

Are you implying that there is malicious software in the repositories of Debian, Fedora, Ubuntu, Arch, etc? It doesn't matter what anyone makes if it's not in a distributions repositories.

Look at the pic on the right side. It's a free software program. There are two guys arguing about a patch for something, another guy waits, he also made a patch and there are like (whatever large the internet is) other people who also want to add patches, fix problematic code or close security flaws. Then there are other people (at the bottom), these people aren't programmers, they don't know shit, but they still profit from the changes thee community does and after all, the best version of a program goes upsteam.

Not just.
In a mercantilist system, you have a positive feedback loop of influence between the financial sector and the political sector. They can start with even a little influence over one another, but once you start, they both have incentives to increase it and create an incenstous relationship.
Starting new businesses / bodels and competing would become increasingly hard.

Seriously. This is the current system in most of the world. Political lobbyists working in favor of corporations. How do you prevent this? You'd have to dare I say regulate them somehow.

I really don't get why we even have to mention the kernel in the name. One doesn't refer to Windows 7, for example, as Windows 7/NT or Windows 7+NT. Why should we not simply call it GNU?

>>60457160

The term 'regulate' isn't such a simple straight forward word.

>>60457194
The kernel has gotten huge recognition unlike NT

>>60457194
doesn't really have the same ring to it, plus, GNU code probably makes up no more than 5% of a modern linux install.
Why not call it xfree86?

>>60457218

I call it the GNU system irl. Or sometimes GNU with Linux added.

>>60457372

>>60457208

>>60457390
I respect GNU's contributions, but there's no use in trying to satisfy stallman on this one point because he's a goddamn zealot.
Debian officially calls themselves GNU/Linux and goes out of their way to satisfy stallman by deblobbing their linux kernel and moving all the contrib and non-free stuff out of the standard repos.

You have to explicitly add these branches yourself and install nonfree packages manually, and stallman still isn't satisfied because the debian project has a detailed wiki explaining how to install non-free software and the very fact that you're even ALLOWED to install non-free pisses off stallman.
Stallman's perfect GNU distribution would literally prevent you from installing the software you want on your own computer, how the fuck is this software freedom?

>>60457453
GNU is the initial contribution. Many people seem to think that Linux is, they are wrong.

>Stallman's perfect GNU distribution would literally prevent you from installing the software you want on your own computer

>>60457854

You should remove this too. All it does is (on debian/ubuntu/etc)'s side check from which repo a package comes; it doesn't say anything if a program is actually free software or not and on some systems it shows actual free software as nonfree.

Trying to install Debian on my t470, and it can't detect my wireless chip, so what do I do? I have an arch USB too, and it won't detect it either. I don't have an ethernet cord on me. I'm getting pretty pissed, I can't find any clear solution on google, and I want to get rid of windows 10. My touchpad didn't work during the Debian installer either, so I just booted back into windows.

https://wiki.debian.org/WiFi

>>60457906

How do I even find out? I have a thinkpad t470.

The whole reason I got this laptop was to get more experience with Linux, I originally planned on installing arch, got too intimidated and wanted to install Debian, now I can't figure out this wireless shit, I'm thinking of just giving up and going back to ubunut. At least my shit will actually work.

>>60458137

>>60458137
No please do not give up. I will try and help you to the best of my ability. You can find out what wireless chipset you have in Windows 10 via device manager. In any linux ditro with access to a terminal you can run lspci and figure out that way

This is what I have.
What do I need to do during the debian installation? Should I hook it up with ethernet, run the full netinstall, and then get the drivers and stuff once i'm installed? What about my touchpad? I never use it, I only use the trackpoint, but I still want everything to actually work.

>>60458186
you could add the command to rc.local to autorun after boot

>>60458226
I'm aware that there are ways to automate this (which I probably should have stated) but I'm too stupid to get it working.

>>60458208
So you can load your chipsets firmware during the debian install. When it attempts to detect wireless networking there is an option to load firmware. You need to load iwlwifi firmware

Here you go: https://wiki.debian.org/iwlwifi

You'll need a spare usb to place the firmware .ucode files on though.

>>60458208
Not sure but I guess you need firmware-iwlwifi.

>>60458208
>>60458261
Wait, I don't think the AC 8265 chipset is supported in the old kernel Debian uses. Honestly I would just install Xubuntu or something

>>60458261
These are things where we really need some pasta for.

>>60458261
...where do I download the file? all I can find on that page is the list of the files in the package, but not the actual download.

>>60458294
Should I be looking at Arch then? I want to try something other than Ubuntu, I've been using it for like 4 years and haven't progressed. I'm tired of being a perpetual linux noob.

>>60458322
I would use Arch because it uses the latest kernel, which does support your wifi card (you need 4.8 or newer).

If you want to use Arch but don't want to do everything manually you can use this: https://arch-anywhere.org/

It's basically a CLI installer

Mind explaining why? I personally think it's much cleaner in design than Xorg, as well as having better performance. It's high time we got rid of all the legacy hacks involved in Xorg, it's insecure and incredibly bloated.
