It's because vi is on most distros just a symlink to vim, so it calls the same program.

How do I cope with the existence of systemd /fglt/?

I've gone through all the other stages of grief already (denial, anger, bargaining, and depression) but my autism just won't let me move on to acceptance.

How do you do it?

Have you tried systemctl poweroff and turning it back on again?

> Linux is about choice.

If I could only have one thing this year, it would be to eliminate that
meme from the collective consciousness. It is a disease. It strangles
the mind and ensures you can never change anything ever because someone
somewhere has OCD'd their environment exactly how they like it and how
dare you change it on them you're so mean and next time I have friends
over for Buffy night you're not invited mom he's sitting on my side
again.

As a consumer, yes, you have lots of choices in which Linux you use.
This does not mean Linux is in any sense _about_ choice, any more than
because there are so many kinds of cars you can buy that cars are about
choice.

The complaints up-thread about juju and pulse are entirely valid, but
the solution is not to try to deliver two things at once. If you try to
deliver both at once you have to also deliver a way of switching between
the two. Now you have three moving parts instead of one, which means
the failure rate has gone up by a factor of _six_ (three parts, and
three interactions). We have essentially already posited that we have
insufficient developer effort to have 100%-complete features at ship
time, so asking them to take on six times the failure rate when they're
already overburdened is just madness. Alternatively, we could say that
we're integrating features too rapidly, but you do that at the expense
of goal 1, to be the showcase for the latest and greatest in free
software.

It's not just a touchy feely philosophy anon.

The idea behind it is actually a rock solid concept to improve development. Look at this shit, pic related.

Pulseaudio (and also systemd, this type of software development seems to be Poetterings calling card) is nothing more than sweeping everything under the rug.
There is nothing elegant about these solutions, and in fact sweeping it under the rug just prevents real solutions from ever being able to come into the light.

Linux Mint.

Windows since Vista does basically same thing though. Direct hardware access for audio is painfully inflexible and unnecessary from a latency standpoint.

probably Ubuntu, or Mint. Also Arch Linux is popular amongst masochists.

>>61770169
Well it's all fine and good to create an option that ties things together like that.

But I really think the reason people hate the software he produces is because the way it's done it results in us basically _depending_ on it.

It's like having a big mess lying on your floor and it's no one persons fault. But instead of working together to clean it up or just letting individuals pick up the pieces they need and use them, or creating his software that sort of organizes everything on the floor a little bit but is still completely optional
he just goes ahead and does it all for us, wraps everything up into this big ol' shitball and anyone who needs individual pieces now has to plug into this giant ball of shit and that's just how we're going to be doing things for the next 20yrs because he gets so much support for some reason.

On January 18th, 2011, a 1337 h4x0r posted the administrator details to the database of a school in Rhode Island. Many lulz resulted from this, with school lunch prices set to 9000, 1 credit needed to graduate, all black kids expelled for stabbing, and a "special alert" sent to all parents containing the Stallman GNU/Linux copypasta, among many other edits. Basically, the entire database was anally raped. The thread resulted in half of /g/ being banned and once again proved that /g/ is the best board on 4chan.

I did it.

I finally did it, GNU-senpai. After being indecisive for 6 years, I finally confessed my love to my childhood distribution of Linux that my father introduced me to so many years ago, but to which I hadn't been able mustering the courage to admit my true feelings, because things seemed comfortable the way they were: me observing Linux from afar, always dreaming of what could be if it were me with Linux, but never committing, because the prospect of a new relationship with Linux seemed uncertain and I didn't want to lose this image of the cool, perfectly efficient, capable, trustworthy, dependable and nice operating system I treasured in my heart since I was young.
But now I've done it, by installing a Linux distribution and formatting my Windows installation.

This new interface feeling is scary, dealing with the command line is something entirely new to me, but the more I spend my daily life in this way, I feel certain that Linux will continue to make me happy.

Currently I'm running on some opensource graphic drivers which suck and it took me way too many hours to find out WHY SHIT ISN'T WORKING.

Once it crahes, then it spews dozens of error messages but works and sometimes it just stop for no reason. I don't even have a reaction image to show my anger BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS FORMATTED!

How do I go about running a second video card through a vm?

Either ubuntu or fedora. I have guides but nothing explains when to install the cards. Do I install the operating system with both cards already in the machine? Install the second card after? The instructions say blacklist the card but those commands seem to depend on the card already being installed.

Have a fury x and titan pascal first version. Want to be able to use the fury on the operating system for my monitors and have the titan used by multiple vms. One for machine learning and one for games.

I think the fury x should be supported out of the box but I might need to add drivers. I have had trouble installing Ubuntu in the past when the open source driver doesn't like the video card. Would compiling the kernel myself allow me to configure the drivers before install?

But if you run apt --help and apt-get --help, you'll see that only apt-get has super cow powers.
Cow power is only required for patching the code and building .debs from the source repository.

a metapackage is basically a list of packages.
if you want the libreoffice suite you can apt install libreoffice.

Install Gentoo

>>61786335
I would just like to interject for one moment. The operating system you are suggesting for me to install, and rather commandingly might I add, will in fact, not directly solve my current problem at hand, and will actually cause me to ask further questions about the difficult process involved in installing it. Gentoo is a very nice operating system itself, but I'd rather you directly assist me in my quest to solve my current predicament.

I understand that many computer users run the Gentoo Linux operating system, and I realize they may enjoy it greatly and are not currently experiencing the current problem that I have whilst using my non-Gentoo operating system. Through a peculiar turn of events, I have noticed an enormous amount of users make the "Install Gentoo" suggestion, but many of its users are not aware that this suggestion, in most cases, is actually not an "easy-fix" to every single computer-related error.

There really are reasons for installing Gentoo, and there are people using it, but it is just for the few users who choose to compile their own source code locally according to their chosen configuration. Gentoo is just another operating system: the problems I am experiencing will not undeviatingly be solved if I make the choice to install it. All these so-called "Install Gentoo" suggestions I am noticing should cease immediately.

Any solution to the Popping/Clicking sound from an external DAC (Fiio E10k) ? I have tried everything on Arch's Wiki about PulseAudio and ALSA but no success. It starts whenever a sound is played/stopped it is more noticeable in apps such as Discord/Mumble/TS3 when people is talking with shitty microphones because their voices are interrupted frequently making the popping annoying as fuck it. Windows never stops the sound module when using those programs or anything related on playing sounds, so is unnoticeable till you actually mute the software. I wish linux audio worked as windows to not have to deal with that kind of problems.

Before I transitioned from Windows, I exported the magnet links from qBittorrent.

Now, I have qBittorrent on Ubuntu and I know how to add the magnets, but adding and forcing recheck doesn't do anything - it still tries to redownload everything, despite the files already being there.
Also, when I add all at once, my screen freezes and I have to restart because I don't know how to just kill qBittorrent.

How can I add the magnet links and make the program recognize that the files are already there? I don't want to redownload my whole collection every time I switch distros or torrent clients.

I hate GNUcucks but antiGNUcucks are even worse

Hi /fglt/, I'm usually chilling in /sqt/ and /pcbg/ because I'm more interested in the hardware side of things, so I'm sorry for being new to Linux. However, I've gotten quite sick of Windows 10 and the problems I've had with it over time, and am willing to completely move over.
I'm aware that most distros of Linux are majorly unlike Windows, and I'm fine with that. I was fine with moving to Mac 7 years ago, then moving to Windows again about a year ago. I'd just like to move away from Windows and try something new, so I was either thinking hackintosh, or just simply some linux distro.
Okay, rambling out of the way, I have some questions.
I keep seeing Ubuntu & Mint being 2 of the main ones recommended for those new to Linux entirely. About all the experience I have with any amount of Linux is 2 years ago in college, I setup a Mint VM. Going through the 'Babbies First Linux', I keep looking over at Ubuntu
How well does WINE run nowadays? I tried it for some Binding of Isaac about 4 years ago, and it ran pretty nicely, so I was curious about how well it ran now. I'm not too concerned about playing a ton of games, mainly just a few every now and then, otherwise it'll be photo/video editing/rendering, web browsing, and eventually (probably) some programming.
Going into the previous question, what's a decent photo/video editing/rendering program(s) for Linux?
Also, are all programs made for Linux available on all distros of it? I'd imagine some mightn't be by default, but I'm clueless.
How up-to-date is the 'Babbies First Linux' picture?
If I could manage to get my hands on a bunch of cheap office computer, such as Optiplex for example, would it be worth it dedicating 2 of them as a XBMCbuntu/GeeXboX and a Dream Studio systems?
Lastly, since I recently bought a new Ryzen system, would it be worth it at all to just sell it again and buy a cheap Xeon for the multicore, and VM off that for all sorts of workloads?
So sorry for the mess, I'm new. Thanks in advance.

>I keep seeing Ubuntu & Mint being 2 of the main ones recommended for those new to Linux entirely. About all the experience I have with any amount of Linux is 2 years ago in college, I setup a Mint VM. Going through the 'Babbies First Linux', I keep looking over at Ubuntu
Please avoid Mint. It's shit, and when I say shit, I mean ti could probably be the worst distribution with more than 50 users. Ubuntu flavored with Xfce, KDE, Gnome is fine for a beginner. Even Arch/Void could do for a beginner, though.

>How well does WINE run nowadays?
Pretty good, there are configs for many programs and usually it should work after some tweaks. For heavy games, though, you don't want to use it.

>Going into the previous question, what's a decent photo/video editing/rendering program(s) for Linux?
People will suggest you GIMP, which is fine but different, I'd tell you to wine CS6 and have a decent program you are probably already used to.

>Also, are all programs made for Linux available on all distros of it? I'd imagine some mightn't be by default, but I'm clueless.
Distro maintainers build the packages from source for the distro. So no, some smaller distributions have less packages but can be compiled by yourself. This is pretty rare lately, unless you go with a really dead distribution most of the stuff you'll need should be there.

>Lastly, since I recently bought a new Ryzen system, would it be worth it at all to just sell it again and buy a cheap Xeon for the multicore, and VM off that for all sorts of workloads?
Ryzen works very nice on multicore. If you can profit for it good, but I wouldn't unless you have some specific needs

That's what I think.

Okay thanks, will look at customizing/tweaking Ubuntu.
I won't be playing large games that's for sure.
I've dabbled in a bit of GIMP, so might just go balls deep on that too, depending on how well Photoshop works for me.
Otherwise cool, mainly got Ryzen for the hopes of upgrading later to 8+ core in Zen2/3 (no hopes, but IF they bring out more than 8 for AM4)

Also, how well would Ubuntu run on 4GB ram? Planning on buying a new 2x8GB kit down the line, but bought a DoA 2x4GB kit, and currently in the process of RMA-ing it, so have to sit on 4GB for now.
Also also, does Ryzen Master work on Linux?

Part of the reason Haskell is so good for xmonad is that it's functional - and if you use it right, it makes it really easy to compose functions (or objects) together to make other functions.

For example, in xmonad there is a LayoutClass class, which all Layouts must be an instance of. Since the core bits of LayoutClass are defined in a functional way, you can make a "wrapper" that turns any LayoutClass into a new LayoutClass that has gaps around windows, for example.

I wouldn't recommend it for learning haskell. I read this http://learnyouahaskell.com/ and enjoyed it, but it's not too interactive.

I can't get my logged sessions on i3wm, how did i set gnome-keyring to work correctly?

Do bash scripts that are ran repeatedly get cached into memory? Or would it be a better idea to have a small ramdisk dedicated for this?

>>61798178
the kernel should automatically cache files that are used a lot. If it's ran repeatedly, maybe just make the script into a while loop if you're worried about disk usage?

>>61798191
I had a feeling that the kernel's disk caching would take care of it. I just wanted to confirm it. bash script is a simple one-liner and gets executed every 30 seconds. So, it's not like it'd tax my hard disk anyways.

First you have to graduate from elementary school. After that, graduate from not-retarded school. Then go to your mom and ask her why she didn't abort an idiot child. Then come back and ask the question again.
