recommend me a gnu/linux distro to do some torrenting with? im familiar with fedora 25 workstation and would use that + installing vuze but less resource usage is really preferable here

there is no os on that device currently, and it doesn't have to be a live cd. i dont want to spend a whole bunch of time getting it ready either so while >install gentoo + rtorrent would be light on resources eventually it isnt really an option

there must be something perfect for me, no? thinking lubuntu since its "light" and comes with transmission, but might also get slacko puppy and then install deluge

>>60572314
Gentoo + qBittorrent

>>60572314
Devuan netinstall, get familiar with apt and install transmission-daemon as the daemon and either use the web interface or install a frontend. There are two frontends you could try, tranmsission-remote-gtk, or the one I use transmission-remote-cli. Very low resource usage.

No thanks.

Is running fedora on a system with nvidia graphics even possible? My desktop has a 1060 and I've tried using the negativo repo for the nvidia drivers but no luck. Going to try the rpmfusion way next, but I cringe at the idea of having that cancerous repo on my system.
Is there hope for me?

So I'm going to fall for the Void meme (might as well since I fell for the Arch meme years ago) but I'm putting it on my Raspberry Pi 2. Gonna clean the dust off of it.

Shrinking my Ubuntu partitions so I can try manjaro with lxde
It's gonna take forever

finally my uni semester is over and god damn im done with windows. only reason i stuck around with it was because one of my classes demanded we work with visual studio.

so now that im free i want to install linux. /g/ what distro is the best for a shitty acer laptop? more precisely the acer aspire 722? i really want more performance out off this trash because its my actual school laptop i take with me to class.

is linux mint cool? which version should i install 32-bit, 64bit? is 32-bit better for performance on my 2gb ram?

here are the laptop specs:
AMD C-60 1 GHz
2gb ram

>>60573069
why not armbian?

>>60573720
if you computer supports 64 go for it, and if you worry about rescueing an old laptop maybe you should go for Lubuntu, unless you are willing to use a window manager and do a netinstall, by which you should try devuan

There is a NetworkManager "bug" in Ubuntu 17.04

Here is how to fix:

edit the /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf file

And add:

[device]
wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no

Restart the networkmanager service and use your wireless connection.

>>60573803
Because everyone is meming about Void on /g/

>>60574015
Is this a bug exclusive to Ubuntu or on NetworkManager version 1.4.4-r1 in general?

>>60574085
I had to so it on my laptop with debian stretch so it seems to be a general issue with networkmanager. I can't be bothered to check the version right now.

>>60574085
I think that is Ubuntu mostly, but im not sure.

Is wpa_supplicant better?

>>60574054
not a meme because is innovative and has yet to prove if it can surpass arch, but arm seens a more fit choice unless you want a source based distro

ultimately is your choice anyway

>>60574142

Is there a good guide on how to setup wine? I just wanna play a few games. That is all. Most the games I want have linux ports. I don't wanna have to fuck with playonlinux for just a few games

I just installed fedora, how do i change what the menu looks like? I prefer the windows 8 look honestly. Also how do i get rid of the gui for the decrypt lock screen? I prefer other distros where its all from a cli. In fact id prefer the login was cli too where it first asks for username then password.

What's so hard about it? You mostly just install it and go.
But in case you run into difficulties there's only 3 things you really need to know.

First, that just running wine normally uses a default "prefix" but you can create additional ones by running wine with PREFIX=/path/to/prefix if you want.
Second is that if you want a 32-bit prefix rather than a 64-bit one then you start wine with WINEARCH=win32

and last but not least, if a particular game isn't working you'll probably just need to add a few libraries which is handled through the tool "winetricks". You can go to WineHQ and look it up whichever game it is that's giving you trouble to see what others have done to get it working.

Playonlinux just handles different prefixes for you and automatically applies any recommended additions, but like I said for most games (especially if they aren't new) you don't really have to do anything, or even worry at all about prefixes. Just "wine <yourgame>.exe" and it works most of the time.

Imho, the Vim user manual is the best resource for learning stuff. ":help usr_01.txt" and read on. If you've learned the utter basics in vimtutor, then the user manual is the next best step.

What's the difference between booting a live USB and installing to a USB and booting from it?
Performance wise?

Are there any good file managerrs? Even the default windows one is better, especially since it allows you to do a shit load more stuff, especially related to file previews. Id go as far as to say the osx one is better in that regard too

Linux SUCKS. Why? Because:

1) Command lines/Lack of GUI's

Why the fvck would I want to use a command line? I have a modern computer, capable of displaying color and icons. Why should their be a command line? And further, why doesn't everything have a gui? Gui's are good, and easy, and don't require me to learn commands. Yey for Gui's.

2)Root/sudo is stupid.

Why on earth should I have to deal with either using sudo or running as root to actually use my programs? I still can't get a lot of programs to run because they keep whining about permissions. What ever happened to good old admin accounts? Why does sudo break everything?

3)Apt-get

Now this is just plane stupid. Why is it so damn hard to install anything? I have a desktop, why not do it the way it should be done? I get the installer icon, click on it, press forward a few times, wait, and have a nice icon on my desktop. Why isn't it done this way?

4)Compiling

Again, stupid. Just give me a fvcking installer program. None of this compiling sh1t.

Come on Linux. The rest of the world has moved beyond 1990. It's time for you to do so also. I'm giving up and installing windows.

Is there a way to make is so that my window theme doesnt have a border and only has a top bar? using cinnamon, so i guess that means gnomeshell?

>>60574349
Now this is comfy. Thanks.

How hard is it to get up to date software on debian? Preferably stable. Debian is my ideal distro but I use Arch right now mostly because I need new packages. My laptop's suspend and backlight only work on kernel 4.9 or 4.10 and newer, and my nvidia GPU requires the newest driver (380) and up to date versions of bumblebee. Ideally I want to use kernel 4.11. How easy is it to get packages that recent on Debian stable? Should I just use testing/unstable? Do they break more or less often than Arch? Testing or unstable?

>>60576449
Backports really helps. There's a 4.9 kernel in backports. I don't know what specific versions of the other stuff you need, but you can search https://www.debian.org/distrib/packages to find out if any branch has the required versions.

I used to run testing just fine, but a couple of years ago I found it to be not so stable any more and switched to stable. I'm talking about stuff like updates with aggressive dependencies that might try to remove stuff you want and thus you have to pay attention to rather than blindly apply, and apt-listbugs warning about spooky bugs that scared me out of upgrading certain packages but that I may have been overreacting to/misinterpreting. That is really all the trouble testing gave me, but since I didn't need newer versions of much stuff I switched to stable.

If by any change you find testing and sid to be too unstable, remember that you can run a mixed system, mostly stable but with some packages from testing or sid. I've pretty much always done that and it's never given me trouble.

>>60576155

I have dual boot, Ubuntu 16.04 and win 7, and three hard drives. How can I go about encrypting them and still retaining the ability to boot in both systems? Is it possible?

If not, I'm willing to sacrifice win7, how should I encrypt then already installed ubuntu system, with all the drives?

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.

I'm not replying for your sake but for the poor people who might take your trollpost seriously. There are a lot of things about GNU/Linux which actually suck, but those are real technical details and you listed none of them. Funnily, Ubuntu addresses all of your complaints. For an actual computer dork it is the perfect alternative to Windows. You have several GUI options to install stuff, and it's actually easier as it keeps track of your installations in the same interface you use to install. 7/10 Windows retards wouldn't know how to remove a program and simply delete the desktop icon. The one exception is sudo. Even Windows users should not work with admin accounts and use the UAC instead. Ubuntu sets you up with this from the start, so again it's superior.

So to wrap it up, in Ubuntu you don't have to use a command line. Everything has GUI, including several package managers. Make peace with sudo, it protects you. And last, you have to compile nothing. Every piece of crap is already precompiled for Ubuntu.

can anyone explain why auto disk set up makes a huge root partition? 50gbs for room, 260 for home and 8.5 block? i mean im not running out of space or anything but its quizical because im used to how windows has only one partition

>>60577693

that 50gb partition only likely has a few gb used most likely, 8.5gb is swap partition most likely - something windows makes out of the box too but as a file not a partition

as to why the root partition is 50gb, it's a little large but the root partition can fill up when instaling a large amount of software, logs being used, etc, usually 40-50gb is a decent size and is all you'll need

>>60577502
>Usually theres like an あ that lets you do it
There usually is indeed. Back when I was running scim or maybe uim, I had to make sure to have an applet run upon login so it'd put an icon in my notification area. I'm running ibus now and I don't know where the sorcery is because I see nothing in my xfce session settings, but I do have that icon.

Check the list of installed files for the input method you're using (uim, scim, ibus, fcitx), see if there's something that sounds like an applet and try running it. In my case I think it's probably /usr/lib/ibus/ibus-ui-gtk3.

got a weird problem on my ubuntu laptop
i tried installing KDE on it but the install failed for whatever reason and now when i boot it up it occasionally switches to KDE and i have to reboot (maybe 1/10 boots)

>>60577660
>>60577813
Can you elaborate?

I've been using Ubuntu 17 and btrfs for a while and was wondering why the btrfs package is much older.

I'm currently using 4.9.1-1 but the current version is something like 4.11 so what should I do?

>>60577947
Install a true rolling release distro. Like Arch

>>60577693
Seperate partitions makes filesystems more independent. This helps with reinstalls for instance. I run Fedora and I modify the default setup to have 4 separate data partitions in addition to the /boot /root /home. So when I want to update every 6 months all I do is reformat /boot and /root which is where all the distro stuff goes. All of the data I've created are on the the other partitions so I don't have to worry about backups. I did similar stuff in Windows but it just seems to work even better with the mount system. Why one does it and not the other is probably due to tradition as well.

>>60577985
I have one partition. When I reinstall, I backup etc in /home/etc, I remove everything but /home. And after that I reinstall. I never need more than one partition.

>>60577985
you mean when updating the kernal? i get the /home partition in this case, that makes sense. Also your set up seems like its superior for in case anything goes wrong, why isnt is the default?

>>60577962
It's just a simple server for files, backups, Plex etc so I don't want to make it too complicated. All I keep reading is that btrfs is still in development so using latest version is recommended and that's when I realised my btrfs is over 6 months old.

Do I just add a source to apt and install it or what? I read btrfs is part of the kernel so I wasn't sure if it would create problems by installing another btrfs version.

>>60577403
VLC

>>60577828
Okay. Actually, my case is similar (ibus + mozc). I can switch between default IM and mozc, either with the mouse or with a keyboard shortcut, but that alone doesn't allow me to type Japanese. Once I enable mozc, I have to click its icon and select input method -> hiragana.

I don't suppose your problem is something as silly.

The only difficulty I've had with nipinput was that, when I ran uim, before I could even enable my Japanese IM I had to right click inside the text field where I wanted to type and do Input Methods -> uim. This was annoying because I had to do it in every program I wanted to type Japanese in and not all of them supported it. Maybe this is closer to your problem?

I don't think I have any other ideas to offer.

>>60576975
Do you mean you need to access a website after connecting to the wifi so Arch won't work as it doesn't come with a browser by default?

Screenfetch, Archey or Neofetch?

>>60578031

The btrfs "version" you are referring to is just the userspace tools used to manage the filesystem (subvolumes, snapshots, etc.). I doubt it has much impact on reliability. The kernel version is more important.

>>60578024
>updating the kernel
I only reformat after a new release. Now I'm running Fedora 25. I'll reformat again with 26. You can update but it seems like every update ends up having its own little gotchas that I'd rather avoid. When I upgrade my kernel it just installs the new kernel on /boot and removes an old one if the number of kernels is over a certain amount.

>Why isn't this the default?
In Fedora the /home /boot /root partitions are default. Other distros might not have this default because breaking up partitions requires you to make assumptions about your space usage.

Like I chose against the defaults to use a 35GB /root partition. I think the default was like 4GB. I'm using 12GB of /root right now. That's where all my packages get installed. So essentially the other 23GB is wasted unless I put something that doesn't "belong" there in /root. On the other hand if I had chosen 4GB I would have needed to uninstall packages or resize my partitions by now. So in some ways its dangerous to make this assumption about someone who is just a click click click install user. I use LVM on a LUKS partition so while I'm not familiar with the procedure I know resize is easier than having to repartition and reinstall.

Note that I've been told 4GB is more than what most people need for /root. I do have a bunch of developer packages that contain files you only need to build other packages. I also have lots of stuff I don't use anymore installed. It doesn't run in the background so it only eats HDD not RAM. I just let it stay.

You definitely don't need it. I just prefer it that way.

Although "GNU/Linux" /ɡəˈnuː slæʃ ˈlJnəks/ is often pronounced without the slash, Stallman recommends explicitly saying the word "slash" or "plus" in order to avoid the mistaken suggestion that Linux, the kernel, itself is a GNU package, as is the case with GNU Linux-libre.

My ISP blocked an IP that I connect to often. How do I add a system-wide proxy for it?

I have a SOCKS 5 proxy running, I guess I want to redirect all the traffic through that.

its part of what i think holds back linux. OSX proved looks are everhing to the masses. A shame too because you make any distro look like osx in about 2 minutes. But back to logos. penguins everywhere followed by annoying naming (word i forgot) that is always after penguins in the same way gnu projects are retarded (galculator anyone?). Sometimes oss has interesting names like nemo, because its a file finder but sometimes the puns are just too deep.

Finally managed to port my X keymap to the console. kbd is much easier than xkb.

Ask a guy who's currently using Arch anything.

So gnu is like a set of tools right? linux (the kernal) is an operating system unto itself and is often used in embedded systems. Gnu is more like an extension to the operating system and cant be considered an actual operating system until hurd is more mature, or can be considered a wip os if anything.

IMO hurd needs to die however as it has no actual uses and developement resources are better spent elsewhere.

Two questions. How can i make it so 2 additional hard drives (out of 3) auto mount when i login. and secondly how do i add my windows install to the initial choices in grub. Do i need to edit the actual install drive because it needs to be able to work without grub i think.

Current set up for clarification
1 HDD with Debian
1 SSD with windows 8
2 Independant media hard drives, both in exfat. Ive already installed the exfat propietary driver things so thats not an issue

>>60579625
also i can mount one of the drives fine but i get this when trying to mount the second (the improtant one)

When I boot up my laptop with an external monitor connected lightdm / the greeter is just a black screen. I have to disconnect the HDMI cable, (it then immediately displays properly on the laptop) log in, then connect it again. Anyone know how to solve this or what to look into?

What happened to

>>60579625
>both in exfat
?

As for the auto-mounting, does it really need to be when you login? The usual thing would be to auto-mount at boot.

If you really mean at login, then first you have to make it so that you can mount them without sudo. One way to do this is to add the mount option "user" to their entries at /etc/fstab, and then chown their mountpoints to yourself. Then you should be able to just "mount /run/media/nazrin/Storage\ Drive" without sudo. When that works, you just have to make it so that that command runs when you log in. Your DE probably provides some way to run commands / start programs when you login. There are other ways but I have no experience with them.

>>60579702
what software is this

>>60579846
Should add: on top of "user", you'll want the "noauto" mount option also - otherwise they'll mount automatically at boot.

>>60579846
yeah or boot is fine. i though they were exfat. guess theyre ntfs or whichever

>>60579861
nemo with a theme

>>60579879
If mounting at boot is fine, then, as implied in my other post, you just have to add entries for them to /etc/fstab and not include the "noauto" option.

It's actually pretty decent. One of the best options for a systemd-less system. Tons of software available and easy to contribute to.

I don't think anyone believes systemd being a botnet. It's just getting bloated and more complicated than it should. Slackware, BSDs and to some degree, Void, are good choices if you don't want systemd.

Having alternatives is one of the *nix' benefits. I don't think every distribution adapting systemd would be a good thing, even if it "just werks". Besides, when I tried Void it booted way faster than any systemd distro.
