Is there any hardware+distro combo with which everything just works?

I've got a MacBook Pro retina, running Fedora 25, and
- hybernation just does not work (laptop shuts down instead, and then reboots)
- shuttdown takes forever
- keyboard doesn't match the ones available at install
- webcam obviously doesn't work

How smooth does it get?

Using my command, wget creates the directory structure but downloads no images.

I don't think hibernation is really supported in Linux.
My eeepc 701 4G works flawlessly with Debian.

>>61237249
Have you checked the man page? Try recursive options or required resources. Might have to turn off robots too.

>>61237249
My general command for imageboards is:

wget -e robots=off -rHD<domain> -nc -nd -nv -ERhtml,s.jpg <url>

Domain is where the media is sitting around
>i.4cdn.org
>img.4plebs.org
>media.8
ch.net
>etc

4chan scraper example:

wget -e robots=off -rHDi.4cdn.org -nc -nd -nv -ERhtml,s.jpg <url>

Hope it helps.

It totally is. nativly or with Tux on ice

>>61237565
Then maybe (actually) scrape the links and feed them to wget like this (another example for 4chan, replace):

wget -qO- <url> | grep -o 'i.4cdn.[^ ]*/[0-9]\+\.[0-9a-z]\{3,4\}' | uniq | xargs wget -nc -nv

Edit the grep part to catch the src links.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you proprietary slave? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class at Harvard, and I’ve been involved in numerous free software projects, and I have contributed to over 300 core-utils for GNU. I am skilled in Lisp and I’m St. IGNU-cius, saint of the Church of Emacs. You are nothing to me but just another unethical non-free software advocate. I will distribute the fuck out of your source code with freedom the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit about me and the GPL on the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my colleagues at FSF and your binaries are being reversed engineered right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your copyright. You're fucking dead, kid. Free software can be anywhere, anytime, and it can ensure your freedom in over four ways, and that’s just with the GPLv2. Not only am I extensively skilled at hacking, but I have access to the source of the entire GNU userland and core-utils and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable proprietary code off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what ethical retribution your little “clever” program was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have ensured your users' freedom. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit free as in freedom all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

I think the author mentions a bunch of marginal points that don't do much to support the claim. He mostly compares Linux on the server to Windows everywhere, the largest attack vector for windows is desktop users, and that is a problem that linux just doesn't have. Yes IIS and the SMB server and other server things on windows have had vulns but so has apache and ssh and whatnot on windows. Yes windows has been pretty shit about having a convention of security updates, but lots of linux servers go un-updated for decades too.

So basically on server they are about the same and on desktop they aren't really comparable.

date -d 'tomorrow 1 day ago'

I recently removed systemd and installed openrc on debian, after the initial feeling of having done a big mistake since I couldn't boot, I finally managed to get on my system. However when I boot it takes decades because of this thing:

[    2.655970] clocksource: Switched to clocksource tsc
[   24.775427] random: crng init done

I'm assuming this is related to the /dev/random device? If yes can I do something about it (like feed less entropy or something, I'm not an expert).

I use a swap partition, here's my fstab

/dev/sr0        /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0

When I run htop it actually tells I have 0K of swap, this is weird.

consider migrating to devuan. Packages with systemd dependency were patched to circumvent that. Works right of the bat too.

>>61238893
echo is inconsitent as fuck among systems, on solaris for ex. its even just a symlink to printf -- '%b\n' "$*"
printf supports proper formatting which results in cleaner (and at some corners more secure) code

there are some things that you cant do with echo, like printing '-n' (printf -- '-n\n'), printf supports on some ends lots of shit like converting hex to dec and vice versa, it supports date hackery like printf -- '%(%F %T)T\n' -1 and you can format the output further by adding dynamic spacing: printf -- '%*s\n' 80 "$(uname -o)"

tl;dr its more portable and cooler

>>61238926
It changes every 6 months, noone wants to keep up with this shit.
Even debian struggles sometimes to have it's wiki up to date. Some articles still mention sysvinit despite the fact that it's been two years (and two releases) since they switched to systembotnet.

Also, btw, no DE doesn't mean that you have to hang around on tty1. It means that you still have a DE, but YOUR DE, with your terminal emulator, ebook viewer, web browser, whatever. The only think that a noDE DE doesn't provide is some system settings, and getting comfy with that means getting comfy with the system "actually learning gnu/linux".

Guys I shotted myself in the foot. I installed xfce and got rid of unity, but doing that I also removed the display manager and got stuck in tty1. Had to reinstall the unity desktop to be able to use my pc again.
So, how do I remove unity and switch to xfce correctly?

you don't understand GNU/Linux any better than a KDE user for being able to copy paste.

>Why would i make shit harder on me?
in what universe is a tickbox more complicated than opening your browser through the terminal, searching for the relevant code block on the arch wiki, copying, and then pasting with the earlier command?

if you like noDE and whatever, that's great and i'm happy for you, but most people are not going to want to do all that just to enable/disable something simple.

I guess the thing is that many people see stuff being used and they think when they use it, they look "more professional" and "this guy knows about stuff", so they just get this crap.

because every program is as simplistic to use as a calculator.
>Why create extra work?
i would argue that you're the only one creating extra work considering you likely have to go out of your way to have noDE on whatever distro except meme/hobby ones like void/arch.
>to do a basic task as text editing.
but that isn't the task; the task is disabling mouse acceleration.

PLEASE HELP /G/

I cannot log into my system bios for Ubuntu.

Before I enter my low-level bios password crypt5_sd or something along those lines, I get this error message in the terminal:

Lvmetad is not active yet, using direct activation during sysinit
Volume group "ubuntu-vg" not found

>>61242006
Well yeah I guess she is cute as in bunnies but I was meaning cute as in attractive.

>>61241679
That's not your BIOS, that looks to be your initramfs.

It looks like it's having an issue with lvm. Errors like that sometimes can show up when it can't find the hard drive.

Did you run mkinitcpio or something that messes with the initramfs lately? Your /etc/mkinitcpio.conf should have lvm in the HOOKS section, if you're using mkinitcpio

>>61242213
edit: you should have lvm2 in the hooks section.

This is the page I reference whenever I'm setting up lvm on luks: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dm-crypt/Encrypting_an_entire_system#LVM_on_LUKS

What are you expecting, a list of games?
There's a little of everything these days but still sparse in certain genres. Some triple A games but not a whole lot.
Basically if games are important to you then you should definitely do some actual research on specific games that are available. Anything that's missing you could also check the Wine AppDB to see how well they run in wine. Wine's pretty good these days (below directx 11) and can often get up to the same performance (or even better in some rare cases) as windows.

If you can't come up with a game-plan or line-up of games before switching then honestly you might want to just stick with Windows.

>is Solus a good distro?
Pretty sure it's just a meme that was overhyped on /fglt/ by someone, but I haven't looked into it seriously so take this with a grain of salt.
But the good distros usually rise to the top by having defining features that make them what they are. For example, Debian is the "stable distro", Ubuntu is the "user friendly distro", Gentoo is the "compile everything yourself ricer distro", Arch is the "bleeding-edge binary distro", Slackware is the "DIY no package manager distro", Source Mage is the "virgin wizard neckbeards magical roleplaying distro" etc..

Not really sure what Solus is, and the fact that whoever was hyping it never bothered to point out any really defining makes me lack the motivation to do any research on it because it probably doesn't have any.

Use your package manager and see what the minimal install group installs.
Took me 1 minute to find out how.

>>61239058

There is no reason to use mpd if you're not controlling music playback over a network. If you weren't a completely retarded, idiot, meme follower sheep you'd know that. But you don't, since you're all of those things.

>>61242649
I've heard bad things about elementary, like bad documentation and customisability

>>61239108

Same as with any distribution.

You're just an idiot, but everyone else who replied to you with memes and idiotic replies should kill themselves.

Every distribution is customizable to the same extent because you're running the same software on all.

What a stupid argument I can't even begin to process down.
You took one shitty statement and wrapped it around multiple ad hominems. Why? To make it appear more serious? By insulting me?
Playing music on a desktop computer is a background task and relegating it to a daemon is a completely sane thing to do. Like many other things makes it more efficient (best example is running Emacs in daemon mode which instantly makes it a less shitty experience)
But yeah calling everyone around you a retard seems to be the solution innit.Why would I need a window present 100% of the time during the playback of a playlist that will take 2 days and 11 hours to complete when I could have it pause on logout, resume on login and never have to interact with it for the entire duration.
All you need from a player is playlist creation (not so often) and playlist selection (definitely more often).

Have you considered that maybe you're the one doing it wrong?

/home is on its own partition, but what other things can/should I back up to minimise configuration of my new system? Distro is Void. In particular, is there a way to do some xbps voodoo which would allow me to simply and easily reinstall all my packages?

Anybody here working with ZFS? I've got small aaignment but I can't tell if it's done correctly.

I umounted root/p1 but can't tell if it's sufficient.

good thread

If I only want to connect to an email account like fastmail with mutt, do I still need programs like sendmail or getmail?

>>61246930
I'm almost certain it doesn't, I don't see mutt having dependencies on it and I use it successfuly for 4 different remote accounts (two gmail, one office365 and one interia.pl)

If I need multiple DEs for development purposes, should I just install bloat my installation for multiple DEs or install them all on a VM?

Also, which is quicker for switching and testing shit on each DE, VM or going through a display manager to switch?

Sorry for idiotic question but I've never used a VM.

>>61247105
You know how when you login with fastmail with web browser it will save all sent mail into your sent mail folder and you read all your incoming mail in your inbox? Can mutt do the same thing because I keep reading about having to fetch it and send it on your local computer rather than doing it on the server you connect to.

>>61247294
You're talking about offline mail.
When setting up mutt you will probably use IMAP.
And IMAP is a remote protocol, it remotely accessess the server every time you want to do something (by default mutt will only download email headers for you to view, opening each email will connect to the server and download it)

>Why would I need a window present 100% of the time during the playback
You can hide any music player or minimize it.

>Have you considered that maybe you're the one doing it wrong?
No, I am doing it right, because I have one computer that plays music and I control it from various other devices (laptop and phone). That's why I use mpd.

Just because you most likely think mpd is cool and leet and the TUI clients make you look like a hacker, that doesn't mean it's the only music player solution that can give you that pretentious feeling. From the top of my head I know at least Cmus that behaves like that, without the whole server/client architecture.

1. Home is under your root partition.

At no point did the manual said anywhere that you need to save them. What the fuck, when you append a rule you fucking assume it gets saved like any professional application would do.

>>61248005
>Just because you most likely think mpd is cool and leet and the TUI clients make you look like a hacker, that doesn't mean it's the only music player solution that can give you that pretentious feeling.
Love these projections man, keep em coming.

>From the top of my head I know at least Cmus that behaves like that, without the whole server/client architecture.
It also requires using screen/dtach/tmux to close the window it's running in (defeating the whole purpose) and doesn't allow directory-based playlist management easily (crucial for libraries larger than 15 files).

Any more shitty arguments? Preferably some that aren't based on insults, you desperately trying to be the smug cunt here and projections about my lifestyle.

>>61248092
Should have been obvious that changes need to be saved. Appending something has no relation to saving something anyway.
I also have no idea what you did for 2 hours setting up firewall rules.

>>61248097

>It also requires using screen/dtach/tmux to close the window it's running in
There's something called minimizing (or iconofying) windows. Every X window manager can do it.

>and doesn't allow directory-based playlist management easily (crucial for libraries larger than 15 files).
What does that have to do with mpd and its server/client architecture?? There are dozens of music players out there and I'm sure one of them can do that.

Apparently not.

But quoting my previous post
>Why would I need a window present 100% of the time during the playback of a playlist that will take 2 days and 11 hours to complete when I could have it pause on logout, resume on login and never have to interact with it for the entire duration.

>What does that have to do with mpd and its server/client architecture??
What does that have to to with your initial response to the comment? I recommended mpd to the anon that was asking, and you sperged out that there was NO reasons to use mpd UNLESS you use it for this single-specific-purpose-that-you-luckily-fit-in.

>here are dozens of music players out there and I'm sure one of them can do that.

No I'm dual booting Antergos and Windows 10, the guide I'm using said to partition them out like that

What's the best way to transition completely into Linux? I currently have Arch Linux dual-booted with Windows 7 for testing it out and getting the hang out it, but I'll eventually want to go full on-linux. Things I'm nervous about is not having all the software support that Windows will have regarding software choices (Visual Studio for example). I'll likely still have a MacBook Pro for convenience while I use my other laptop for mastering Linux (inb4 desktop master race).

Also, since I'm a complete noob, I've been lurking around for having the utmost security measures. I see /sec/ has some good recourses, but I'll need a guide to basic networking as well (which I've bookmarked YouTube lectures).
