Install NixOS

Install GuixSD

>>61276239
You can do either, but if you have UEFi It'll make it difficult because of secure boot.

linux is a meme http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/linux

so i've been using gnu/linux for around two months now. i started by installing mint on my desktop and then after about 2 weeks i decided i would install arch on my laptop because i wanted to learn a bit more about how everything works. i've got everything about set up on my laptop but when i went to install arch on my desktop (setting up dual boot again because gaym) i realized that i really don't want to go through all of the steps again to get everything working exactly as i want.
so, if i want to keep using pacman and the aur, which arch derivative would you guys recommend? the two i'm aware of are manjaro and antergos but i've heard quite a bit of bad about manjaro and i know nothing about antergos.

Familie, what's a normal core temperature for fanless laptops?

My cores go up to 60°C with the browser opened.

>>61277019
completely normal.
mobile cpus always run hotter than desktop equivalents.

>>61277047
Okay. It's my first fanless laptop so I'm not sure what to expect. I tried to install thermald but it doesn't really affect the core temperature at all.

At my computers w/ fans 60°C means heavy work.

Reminds me of a story.

I'm a paramedic, my first "in the field" job was when I was still at uni in a private transport ambulance as a driver (three people squad, two paramedics me and a girl and a physician). The company mostly did contract stuff for inter-hospital transport.

Forementioned physician was absolutely one of the fucking dumbest people I know. Grey hair, glasses, half deaf.
The last time he worked in an ambulance was in the early 90s and the first question he asked when he "where the fuck is pavulon" which was the drug paramedics from our city used to kill their patients in the early 2000 to "sell" the bodies too funeral homes and has been pretty much outlawed and replaced by less dangerous succinycholine in case we need were to perform rapid sequence intubation.

So we got a call from a retirement home, we go there, the fucking dumbass walks to the patient and starts """"""""auscultating""""""" the woman with the stethoscope still on his fucking neck. After that he says "those lungs sure sound bad".
We looked with the girl at eachother like we're in some parody universe but nigger is told nigger must do.
We loadead her up, dump at the hopistal, chest X-ray results come in and bam.

He was right. Fucking pneumonia.
How nigger. How

I'm running Debian 10 buster (testing) right now and I'm wondering if there's any reason not to dist-upgrade to sid? Has anyone had any kind of catastrophic system instability in the past with it or was it just things being upgraded so quickly that they didn't have the right dependencies in specific situations? Because I can deal with some of my programs breaking, I just don't want that kind of shit at the system level.

I don't think there's much to talk about really, it's mostly visually intensive stuff and I very rarely take pictures (mostly as evidence to protect myself in case some idiot had an idea to sue me for whatever reasons).

There was one guy who took a heavy hit on one of these "designer drugs" and deluded himself that there's a squirrel in his abdomen. So he took a pair of fucking scissors, cut himself wide open and ripped his intestines together with the mesentery in an attempt to "get it out".
People really underestimate how dangerous these things are to your brain.

Nowhere near being the worst.

My first GNU/Linux adventure was installing debian.
My wifi didn't work (didn't have a flash stick large enough to fit full DVD at hand) so I had to resort to ethernet.
Installed the system, started researching how to install intel wlan drivers. After some time stumbled on the relevant page and installed iwlwifi firmware.
Didn't fucking work. Reboots, driver reinstalls, disabling/enabling modules all assortment of stupid shit that your average drooling normie does when "computer no worky worky" in hope that in a Windows-style fashion it miraculously starts working.

After a solid 2 hours of frantically trying to figure out what's wrong I noticed that the wlan switch was in the "off" position.

>>61279077
>Do you get motorcyclists and how many of the shrekt ones don't wear proper gear?
At the speeds those guys usually have an accident no gear is going to save you.

We had one guy who lost control, fell of the bike and with his momentum "slid" towards a car with opened driver door and hit on the sharp edge of door with his neck cutting his larynx in half. He survived, though lost his voice completely.

Plus I've heard that people who treat motorcycle racing (street fighters?) seriously here have a suicidal culture of putting a music wire in a loop around their necks so when they fall down it decapitates them. But I've seen only one case and that was only picture made my a friend. Sheared clean off. Haven't seen one in person, so could be just one retard who took a meme to reality so can't confirm really. Maybe an urban legend.


During summer practices (at uni) an ambulance brought a guy with a his forearm cut off. Clean.
He cut it off himself with a table saw, cause he had suffered from psychosomatic pain in his arm for months and all the physicians did was prescribe some painkillers (doesn't fucking work since it's not actually a real pain).
Imagine the look on his face when he learned his arm will not be replantated because amputation due to self-harm is a clear contraindication to such intervention.

Wouldn't it be ironic if after all of this he was left with phantom pain in the arm he amputated himself?

I recently did a fresh install of debian. I used /etc/network/interfaces to connect to my wifi because wpa_supplicant and my dhcp client was giving me problems. Is the /etc/network/interfaces file systemd exclusive?

What ffmpeg switches should i use to make optimal webm's for posting?

>>61281640
-c:v libvpx

>>61281640
Possibly -movflags and +faststart
but I don't know if I've ever really noticed much of a difference with them

Also you want to use -crf and let the bitrate be the maximum as specified here under "variable bitrate":
https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/VP8

Although personally I think I've noticed that the bitrate in that case isn't just a cutoff if the bitrate is set unecessarily high the filesize can get very large without any quality increase.
Usually what I do is encode it with a very high bitrate and watch what bitrate values it reports while doing the encoding. Then re-encode it with the bitrate set around those values.
This method seems to produce fairly high quality webms at good file size

>>61281640
-c:v libvpx -b:v 1M
the longer you record, the worse the quality

>>61276521
Are you fucking kidding me? For every niche even remotely conceivable, there's a turbo-nerd in Japan sitting in his bedroom jerking off to it on his computer.

Of course there's free software enthusiasts in Japan.

In fact, I might go so far as to say that free software has had a bigger hobbyist following in Japan for longer than GNU was even a thing. The Japs fucking love NetBSD. Japanese culture is really conducive to meticulous consumption of really niche things, like computers, even back when consumer electronics were relegated to the back of supermarkets and appliance stores.

I gave Linux a shot for 3 weeks but I just couldn't get over UI and font rendering issues. :(

KDE and lots of Java applications had font rendering issues. Some of them I could resolve, jumping through hoops, others I couldn't.
Gnome had less (no?) font rendering issues at least with what I tried using on it. But it was slow as shit with powerful hardware, buggy as fuck, and just plain weird.

Maybe in a few years, I'll be able to replace my main desktop with a KDE based one or similar. But nope, not now.
I still like Linux for my servers a lot, but it's not a great desktop OS for me. Though I might give KDE Neon a try...

rm "Code Composer Studio 7.1.0.desktop"

Note the quotes around the filename or else the shell thinks you are passing 4 different arguments because of the spaces!

>>61282564
2 things anon.

1) In the terminal whitespace separates parameters. That's why the command thought you were trying to remove 4 separate things instead of 1 item. To specify a single parameter that contains whitespace you either put backslashes before the whitespace like:
>Code\ Composer\ Studio\ 7.1.0.desktop
Or you use quotes
>"Code Composer Studio 7.1.0.desktop"

2) Use tab completion. Seriously, it'll save you tons of time.
Just type "rm Code" and then hit TAB and it will automatically fill in the right file name complete with the escape sequences for the whitespace.

>>61279277
>At the speeds those guys usually have an accident no gear is going to save you.
Yes, though it seems to me like that if someone's the kind of person who isn't serious about doing all they can to ensure a minimum of safety on their bikes, they're more likely to a) go way faster than they should be and b) get into situations where they'll lose control.
I got really lucky in the one accident I've had so far and only had a minor fracture in my foot, aside from bruises. Turns out even cheap gear goes a long way towards keeping your body intact, even when you do run into the side of a truck at 60. (though admittedly I did bounce off its tire; gear wouldn't have helped against getting shredded in between the tires)

>motorcycle [street] racing
Yeah, those are the types of guys who I expect to not wear gear and to crash. Complete retards IMO but at least with the piano wire they wouldn't regret it for long. Not really a nice sight for the paramedics though, I'll bet.

>his arm will not be replantated because amputation due to self-harm is a clear contraindication to such intervention.
I don't really get that point. Did you refuse to sow it back on because it was his own decision to take it off in the first place? How would psychosomatic pain even be treated?
Still, his reaction must have been priceless.

Does anyone have experience running any recent versions of MS Office through Wine?

Anyone know a good Linux native gui I can use instead.

To be clear I want to transmit LIRC codes not receive which it seems everyone else is doing.

it's 2017 and we still have problems with screen tearing and nvidia... I have a T430s with NVS 5200m and I can't, for the life of me, get rid of the screen tearing (and yes, I've tried EVERYTHING I got on google) ... is there a DE that doesn't have this problem or at least it's easier fixable? Cause I'm so damn sick of windows and I want to switch completely to linux but I need my discrete video card working without all that screen tearing -_-

>complaining about novideo in 2017
I'm not complaining about "no video", I'm complaining about the damn screen tearing. Even the windows piece of shit didn't have this problem for years and in the linux world there has never been a point where this wasn't a problem...

>using down clocked GT 620M from 2012
And also, what's the problem that I'm using this card? Even if it's shit it's far better than the integrated one.

Consider that I don't want to wait half an hour for GIMP to launch.

Thinking of installing Gentoo. How long should I expect compiling to take on an i5?

>>61276443
UEFI boot from your machine as follows:

Download the distro bootloader
Download RUFUS
Create bootable USB from the bootloader you downloaded
Go to recovery options (as admin)
Select advanced startup
Choose to boot from USB
Select your newly minted bootable usb
Machine will restart and boot from the Linux bootloader

It is not hard. It is just a little different as it is hard to get to the BIOS from a normal startup. If anything it is easier/ more comfortable for the casual user as you don't have to use the scary bios.

install gentoo

I have a 128gb SSD(called p) and a 500gb HDD(called q). Kubuntu installed on p.

Using Kde Partition Manager, I managed to change q's file system to ext4 and mount point to /home/danny/Storage.

q is showing free space of 91gb. I think its the free space from before installing Kubuntu. I'm trying to unmount and delete it and set it up again but I'm unable to.

Can someone please tell me how to format this HDD, q, completely and make all of its space usable?

Details:
Kubuntu 17.04.
Installed over Windows 8.1.
q was ntfs
I picked lvm with encryption during installation on p.

I tried mounting it and then un-mounting it but Kde partition manager does not let me delete it. All option other than resize, and unmount, are greyed out.
And I don't know how to use the "keyctl unlink" option even after reading the help it provide in bash.

Arch is stable. Debian is stable because there is no update. But as soon as you try to upgrade the Debian distribution you'll tell me about the myth of Debian stability.

Some other things you might want to consider:

1) Switch to Wayland early instead of xorg-server. Wayland is the future of GNU/Linux anyway, it's just very new so adoption will be slow. I haven't tried it myself yet.

2) If you're not much of a gamer, or at least if you don't play newer or graphically intensive games, you can try the open source nvidia drivers.

A 3rd option might be to try both simultaneously. Wayland + open source drivers. Not sure which way would be better for tearing.

How can I rename all files in the currect directory to their sha256sum?

Everytime I try to install i3-gaps it just installs i3 without the i3-gaps commands

why can't I use bluetoothctl to connect to my phone? It lets me pair it and everything but always fails on the connect command

The thing is I can still use things like obexftp to browse the file system and the phone detects the connection. Looking at the bluetooth service I get this error:

but I'm not trying to use a2dp?

I'm sure this is covered in multiple posts online but clearly I need it explained in a different way even though I have nearly a decade of experience with Linux distros.
I cannot for the life of me get a dual boot to work on my UEFI computer. Up until recently I had only used classic BIOS and Windows 7 which is trivial to dual boot.
I keep trying to install a Linux distro on my 64gb SSD while I have Windows 10 on my 500gb SSD. Everytime I install a distro to the 64gb it will work on first boot but once I go into windows and reboot once again it just goes back to booting directly into windows and I can't get back into the linux installation.
This has happened with an arch install and even ubuntu(I tried it because I thought maybe it would handle it automatically).
What am I doing wrong? How do I make this work?
Thank you for your time friendly linux wizards.

That'll still treat filenames with whitespace as separate files, and also it will pick up directories.

I've been trying to come up with something that'll still give them file extensions, but it's pretty difficult to do it perfectly, you wouldn't think so.
But anyway here's one that should work but without giving the files any extensions, and will only rename files in the current directory. Remove -maxdepth 1 if you want to go deeper

find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -print0 | while IFS= read -r -d '' file; do i=`printf '%s\n' "$file"`; mv "${i}" "`sha256sum "${i}" | awk '{print $1;}'`"; done

anyone else experiencing issues with chromium? really really strange lag, especially on streaming sites i.e youtube. don't really want to even bother with firefox because as far as I can remember it works even worse on linux. any ideas?

>>61294376
Maybe try not running it in kernel only mode.

>>61294376
Just use w3m senpai.

>>61294376
>chromium
open source botnet
install ff, tweak about:config
or if lazy just get icecat

>>61294392
too stupid to even begin to understand how to do that
>>61294395
actually would use w3m again if it wasn't for other media, such as the aforementioned youtube & other streaming sites
>>61294422
will give ff another go but i've configured it before and it seems as if it's made on concrete and chromium is made of paper, it seems not even fair comparing them desu

>>61294481
Literally just download icecat.

package count doesn't say anything, newfag

>>61295231
It means you dont know how to manage your system and you're using all-in-one applications instead of using one program per task,or installing EVERY DEPENDENCY EVER when you only use a minimal feature set

>>61278663
t h i s,
also windows 10 updates sometimes break grub

>>61295242
please learn how package managers work
not all distros bloat their packages up like arch, so on ubuntu, it may happen that you get 15 packages for something that is covered on arch in one package
1k packages for ubuntu is pretty low

Anybody else think that Solus is going to bring lots of good for Linux? Started using it yesterday and it's pretty nice

Steam "only supports" Ubuntu but it runs just fine for me on openSUSE

>>61294232
also the proprietary AMD drivers are garbage, only use the free ones
