I found something called GNOME Tweaks which used to be called Gnome Tweak Tool. For some retarded reason, the Ubuntu GNOME doesn't bundle it with the main distro.
It does let me change font scaling. I still haven't figured out how to reduce window and icon size though.

That looks normal and how it should be. I don't know what's causing your big icons. Is it just the icons or are widgets (the GUI buttons, checkboxes, etc) also affected?

havent seen someone writing perl stuff in years, pretty sad tbqh, seems that python, ruby, etc pretty much killed it, which is inane, since perl eveloped with gnu/linux over the years, is available everywhere and a nice language for simple programs. when you try hard, you can even replace any awk, grep, sed stuff with perl.

>>61853421
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.

Hi, /fglt/.

I have a question.

So, the issue with a lot of trackers is that the music they distribute has a lot of bad metadata and is often organized by album, not by artist. Both of these issues means that my music library is incredibly inconsistent, but, besides symlinking, my problem is that I cannot modify the data in any way, or else I would longer be able to seed everything.

What I'm wondering is if there's a music player for GNU/Linux that enables me to automatically scan that downloads directory, copy new files from that directory to another, and organize the directories according to their metadata?

I suspect that Clementine has this feature, but I'm not sure. Can anyone help me out?

well bud, there is a company who wants to get some sheckles by driving debian windows friendly with lots of nonfree stuff support and being shit in general. wsl is basically the fault of canonical <3 microsoft
then there is linux mint, which doesnt like unity, but cinnamon and thats reason enough to make a whole new distro, which is basically ubuntu painted green, unity removed and cinnamon added. so the crude hack which linux mint developers shitted on eath works, some things must be considered: upgrading linux, systemd, xorg or any other essencial packages is "not recommended" and linux mint has a blacklist for those things

tl;dr debian is nice, there are forks based on debian which are either trolling you into "its better because more botnet" or trolling you into "it better because it just works"

The purpose of GNU/Linux systems is customizing, modifications, sharing modifications, freedom. E.g. technical benifits. When're a normie and you get a system which is premade to be used like Windows, you use it like Windows and people start demanding crap like
>REEEE why crappy skype support
etc which ultimativly ends up with more nonfree software and the opposite of customizing, modifications, sharing modifications and freedom.

how to git gud with lemonbar?
I figured to install it but I dont get how this shit even works.

>>61854962
Basically, you have a script which prints shit, this script is pipes to lemonbar to display.
Simple example:

while sleep 1.0; do printf -- '%%{r} %s \n' "$(cat /proc/loadavg)"; done | lemonbar -F '#ffdddddd' -B '#cc111111' -b -f '-*-terminus-*'

Now, you read the manpage of lemonbar in order to customize the apperance and you learn how2shell to display stuff lemonbar should display for you.

At some point you want to create a named pipe and write all those informations to it - and parse it with another script for lemonbar to read. That way your bar script doesn't lock.

There's also polybar, for the same shit, but more noob friendly.

Man, I really don't understand why all the noobs don't just go straight to Manjaro.

I'm a semi-fresh Windows refugee and didn't want to do the cuckfest that is Ubuntu again, with its paper-maiche-fence walled-garden where the repository is full of babby's first stable release of old rotting software and anything that's not in there, you have to install yourself.

I see why everyone likes the AUR. Everything's in there, it's all relatively updated, and all it takes is a pacaur one-liner and all installation and handling of dependencies are taken care of for you like a little software butler.

Honestly it's better than Windows, and I'm not even saying that as an experienced Linux user. I wanted to convert and go the somewhat more intermediary route oobunboo, and Manjaro, while taking care of the bulk of the hardware and driver drudgery, doesn't hold my hand so much as to make me work a little bit to change shit and understand why it does/doesn't work.

I got the KDE version and it's goddamn glorious. Basically like stock windows but with customization on steroids.

Daily reminder that the whole GNU communism is holing back Linux completly. not only in order to gain any market share, but also the GPL cancer makes it impossible for clever developers who make money with software development for a living in order to improve the system.

The only way to make Linux success is to remove the GNU cancer completly. There are many solutions, for example Alpine Linux (without any GNU).

These people are a whole other type who think they must actively boycott GNU software just to distance themselves from its philosophies which makes them no better than what they think they're fighting against. It's pretty retarded. Just let them be.

Not entirely sure what you want but there are chroots (and lots of wrappers for managing them), also containers using lxc or whatever. Or you can just unpack the deb file somewhere and run the binary with LD_LIBRARY_PATH set

tl;dr you maybe have urxvt set to 32 bit in order to enable native transparency, this doesn't work with w3m-img stuff:

make sure to have

or run urxvt with -depth 24

also make sure that you have set

I'm new to Arch. When I edit a user's .bash_profile to autostart X at login, this change only applies to the user and not to root or any other users. There are other similar situations where the changes I make, like adding i3 to .xinitrc, don't apply to other users. Is this normal? Do you have to spend lots of time configuring each new user or am I doing things wrong?

Does anyone else have problems with audio in Dwarf Fortress? I am trying this in gentoo.
I get

AL lib: (EE) UpdateDeviceParams: Failed to set 44100hz, got 48000hz instead
Perfect OpenAL context attributes GET

>>61859486
Pulse or just alsa? If just alsa and using dmix stop other things from running first.
Or tell DF or openal to use 48000hz (maybe /etc/openal/alsoft.conf).

>>61859590
Just alsa, it had openal and libsndfile as dependencies for the audio but still doesn't work.
Where can i change sample rate? I don't seem to find that .conf file.

i used xubuntu back in 2012 for a year and enjoyed it. ended up slowly transitioning back to my windows dualboot since i still played videogames then. is xubuntu still the OS of choice for casual use? by casual use i mean web browsing, document manipulation, and light programming. all my engineering software is fucking windows only so i'll just have to use a vm.

So how long until the Gentoo devs just ditch portage for a guix/nix like package manager but without any build server so it stays 100% source based?

>>61860454
also what do i use instead of irfanview? i'm extremely picky about image viewers and i have yet to find one that isn't infuriating bloated garbage. irfan is just less in my face about it.

It doesn't do animated gifs though, for those you can use "animate" which comes with the imagemagick package that probably comes with your system by default.

Maybe it isn't windows' one but wine's one. Try switching it to native.

>>61860460
There has been an attempt to integrate guix with Gentoo, but it's still in its formative stages.

>>61862396
Fucking awesome. I really hope it succeeds, the mere thought of that makes me cream my pants
It's a perfect combination of everything, not too balls to the wall freedom like guixsd, no systemd like nixos, and guix is probably better than nix. Plus I used Gentoo for like 8-10yrs now (currently I'm on NixOS giving it a try). Would love to go back to good ol' larry the cow

So, /fglt, I want to install a distro with an encrypted zfs root. I currently use Gentoo, and that's what I was planning on installing it on, but I also love Slackware.

Which one would you recommend? Why?

>>61862388
Are you running beets manually? If so then it isn't a permissions problem and you have fucked up the config. Maybe by pointing the database file config thing to a directory. If it is running as a different user then maybe premissions problem.

So how does everyone feel about Redhat and Ubuntu basically dropping btrfs?

I know that btrfs a lot better as a file system in recent years. So the fact that everyone is pretty much abandoning it is pretty depressing. Does btrfs have a future?

What CoW filesystem can I migrate to now that btrfs is gone? Is ZFS on Linux trustworthy?

Should I just kill myself, /fglt/?

>>61862609
ZoL is perfectly fine last i checked
i'm also looking closely at the progress of bcachefs (moving along nicely, built upon the solid codebase on bcache)

if ZFS suits you, go for it, it's just a bit inflexible for home use, as it wasn't really intended for small setups, for example, you can't change the number of disks in a vdev (like converting a 3 disk raidz1 to a 4 disk raidz1)

mpv

also for ncmpcpp you probably just need to switch the view by hitting "2" for example to add music. By default it shows the mpd playlist which is empty at first.

They all pretty much do the same thing - play music. If you don't have specific requirements pretty much anything will do.

The rational and mentally stable founder of the GNU project.

Boot question -

I'm in Windows now and about to delete my Solus partition so I can install another distro. Whenever I do this I have to boot using a windows recovery USB and fix the MBR, but do I have to do this if I'm going to be installing another distro right after?

It's easy to do, just wondering if I will encounter problems if I install linux to a new partition before fixing the MBR.

Hey gnutards and foot fungus eaters, can you please stop spamming /flt/ with your autistic pedo cult leader?
Thanks.

>>61863032
Wait what? So you're fixing the MBR after deleting a linux partition but _before_ installing a new one?

I don't understand why. If all you use is the windows MBR then I would think if anything it would be messed up after installing a new distro, not before.
So I'm guessing that what you're actually using is GRUB and for some reason it doesn't work right after removing your old distro so you reinstall the windows MBR, only to then overwrite the windows MBR with GRUB again when the new distro installs?

I don't know anon, I might just be confused here.
But if you are in fact using GRUB then I don't see why you don't just skip the step about installing the windows MBR and just go right to installing the new distro. It should fix the MBR itself and everything would be fine.

>>61649548

No, Richard, it's 'Linux', not 'GNU/Linux'. The most important contributions that the FSF made to Linux were the creation of the GPL and the GCC compiler. Those are fine and inspired products. GCC is a monumental achievement and has earned you, RMS, and the Free Software Foundation countless kudos and much appreciation.

Following are some reasons for you to mull over, including some already answered in your FAQ.

One guy, Linus Torvalds, used GCC to make his operating system (yes, Linux is an OS -- more on this later). He named it 'Linux' with a little help from his friends. Why doesn't he call it GNU/Linux? Because he wrote it, with more help from his friends, not you. You named your stuff, I named my stuff -- including the software I wrote using GCC -- and Linus named his stuff. The proper name is Linux because Linus Torvalds says so. Linus has spoken. Accept his authority. To do otherwise is to become a nag. You don't want to be known as a nag, do you?

(An operating system) != (a distribution). Linux is an operating system. By my definition, an operating system is that software which provides and limits access to hardware resources on a computer. That definition applies whereever you see Linux in use. However, Linux is usually distributed with a collection of utilities and applications to make it easily configurable as a desktop system, a server, a development box, or a graphics workstation, or whatever the user needs. In such a configuration, we have a Linux (based) distribution. Therein lies your strongest argument for the unwieldy title 'GNU/Linux' (when said bundled software is largely from the FSF). Go bug the distribution makers on that one. Take your beef to Red Hat, Mandrake, and Slackware. At least there you have an argument.

>>61719051
>>61719077
I'm terribly sorry for interjecting another moment, but what I just told you is GNU/Linux is, in fact, just Linux, or as I've just now taken to calling it, Just Linux. Linux apparently does happen to be a whole operating system unto itself and comprises a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Most computer users who run the entire Linux operating system every day already realize it. Through a peculiar turn of events, I was misled into calling the system "GNU/Linux", and until now, I was unaware that it is basically the Linux system, developed by the Linux project.

There really isn't a GNU/Linux, and I really wasn't using it; it is an extraneous misrepresentation of the system that's being used. Linux is the operating system: the entire system made useful by its included corelibs, shell utilities, and other vital system components. The kernel is already an integral part of the Linux operating system, never confined useless by itself; it functions coherently within the context of the complete Linux operating system. Linux is never used in combination with GNU accessories: the whole system is basically Linux without any GNU added, or Just Linux. All the so-called "GNU/Linux" distributions are really distributions of Linux.

Don't call it GNU/Linux. It gives Stallsham undue credit. He's done nothing but take credit for the work of others and has the audacity to call himself a Doctor when he couldn't even finish his Masters.

wrote emacs
Contributed to guy steele's TECO macros, later cloned gosmacs, the actual first emacs for UNIX. If stallman wrote emacs, apple is the sole creator of webkit.
wrote gcc and gdb
He wrote the C compiler initially, but the vast majority of development for other compilers and the C compiler has came from non-stallman sources.

And he hasn't programmed in years. Stallman is washed up, and his justifications for copyleft are horribly invalid nonsense that would make more sense if they were actual thinly veiled communism instead of selfish ramblings and a desire for a world that catered to his specific social class.

>>61863071
The difference between that old flt and yours is that back in the day flt wasn't about /pol/ shit, exclusion and hate on freedom in general.
Don't act like your thread is the original; its just neo-g+/pol/ vomit.

You stallman fucks sure are caught up on this "fact"(fake news).
If stallman was never in the tech indsutry and was stillborn at birth.We would still have Linux.Back in the 1990's when linux was working on linux there were other userlands which he could have used.There were many other options at the time and he would have picked one of those and gone on with creating linus like it would have been in our timeline.
>respect stallman
BAHAHHA
He is a pedophile(https://stallman.org/archives/2003-may-aug.html)
He support bestiality (http://stallman.org/articles/extreme.html)
He eats skin from his dirty feet (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I25UeVXrEHQ 1:55)

He has horrible mannners(pic related) and otherwise is a giant turd of a person
He is direly mentally insane most like likely non-medicated due to some broken logic he has about medication

Imagine you were having a conversation about importing some stuff from China and someone keeps getting all up in your face telling you that you are mistaken, it's actually called the People's Republic of China and then proceed to regale you with some version of its history that pushed their agenda. The problem here isn't whether the name is correct or not, it's that it is irrelevant to the conversation and trying to change the subject into a thinly veiled philosophical rant is terribly rude. If you want to start a philosophical argument then do it in an appropriate forum.

And if you really think that people here are trying to "silence thoughts GNU" then you really are autistic and should take some time to read up on human psychology. People don't like being told what to think and tend to push back against that, not because of the ideas being presented but the manner in which they are.

>>61863132
>>61863152
>>61863162
>>61863182
So yeah.
Someone remind me why we have 2 separate threads again?

Nothing has changed, just like I told you faggots it wouldn't. You can't go build your little safespace where you never hear the opinions (or interjections) of the users you don't like, so why even try?
ALL you've done is make 2 threads slower and make it more difficult for people to get help with things they need.

Splitting only makes sense if it accomplishes something, but this is accomplishing nothing of value. This is 4chan, you're always going to be stuck with people you hate. Get over it.

If it makes you feel better to make these threads _first_ and title them /flt/ then that's great, more power to you guys and I will support you in saying that anyone who makes an /fGlt/ after that is in the wrong.
Likewise if an /fGlt/ thread already exists and you create an /flt/ thread then you're the ones who are in the wrong. That's the responsible way to have your little battle not to selfishly decide that everyone needs to take sides just because YOU want it to happen.

Again, look at the posts you just made. We are not really 2 separate threads. This is still very much 1 group of users and it always will be, you're just making it annoying and more difficult for everyone.

>>61863237
Adding to what I wrote.

Why don't we just compromise and actually put a disclaimer at the very top of the OP. Something like:
>NOTE: Users of this thread diverge on whether to call it just "Linux" or "GNU/Linux". Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and this thread takes no official stance

Can we do that? and just move on?

>>61863282
As long as we don't get any more interject shit and the thread title is set to what it was previously, /flt/ then fine, I'll stop all this.
We need to learn to get along and not get in each others faces, all you do with the coagent interject spam is rile people up. It's not like this is the official Redhat forum or something. We're just all a bunch of faggots using our distros for our own personal needs. We want the interject shit as much as we want the Jehovah's witnesses showing up today.

If all I do is watch Anime and listen to music what distro is best for me?

>>61863237
BTW I disagree that nothing has changed. About 10 days of this and you're already setting peace terms. I could go on with this long term, but I'm a logical guy and would rather we worked something out instead of continuing with this toxic shit.

GNU turds must learn to respect that people don't like to be preached to, when we are ready to learn we know where the gnu website is and can get converted to gnuism and install vrms or whatever. Until then as long as we learn to not get in each others faces it will be fine. Or it can descend into a smaller /v/. Your move.

>>61863319
Ubuntu

>>61863315
Your making the same error that we see time and time again on the modern internet.

You know probably 90% of the people who visit these threads just took the interjection stuff as a joke, and the more autistically it's spammed is almost made funnier by the stereotype that stallman or other GNUfags are autistic.

I guarantee you that this split you're doing has had the exact opposite effect from what you wanted. You're actually giving them more power and legitimacy by acknowledging it to this degree.

>As long as we don't get any more interject shit
You completely miss the point. Look at all these cross thread posts and people spamming idealistic bullshit in both threads. You're NEVER going to get away from it on 4chan. All you want is to not be associated with them because that's all you can possibly stand to gain from this.
So let's compromise on making the OP neutral and that should give you what you really want.

>As long as we don't get any more interject shit and the thread title is set to what it was previously, /flt/ then fine, I'll stop all this.
>As long as I get MY WAY
Don't be an asshole. We can make the OP _neutral_. That's the best way to move forward and you know it. If you keep this going now, especially when we're asking for compromise then you're basically going to label yourself as a much more idealistic autistic sperglord than any of the GNUfags ever were.

>>61863370
>>61863389
>peace terms
also for the record I am not a GNUfag.

Like I said in my other post I'll side with whoever makes the thread 1st.

You say you want to get rid of the idealism shit and interjections, well you know who's being hurt the most by this split? People like me who don't give a fuck either way. The REAL indifferent users of these threads aren't gaining anything by this.

>>61863426
I just want the ideology shit to stay out of /g/. There are other boards it can take place, like /pol/ or even /lit/ (they don't shut up about it).
All I want is a tech board where we discuss tech.

Too much to ask, right.

>>61864116
Well you know calling the thread /flt/ is definitely not the right way to go about it.

Think about it. Do you honestly see any possible way that all the GNU supporters would just migrate to this new thread that was specifically made just to remove the g?

The problem is the way you guys went about creating this. It absolutely does not come across as you building a place free of ideology, it comes across as a place that you expect everyone to unanimously agree overnight that it is once and for all "Linux" and not "GNU/Linux". That's obviously not going to happen.

>>still thinks filesystems and encryption are distribution specific
I am fully aware of that. But different distributions have different packaging and documentation. Some kernels might not be shipped with ZFS support. In that case, I would have to build it myself. ZFS might even be officially packaged, as with Slackware.

There a subtle differences between distros on how they manage edge cases like this one.

You might be the retard if you accidentally reset your computer.

I have 2000+ packages and performance is fine with 4gb RAM and an old i3. Stock Ubuntu too with Compiz at like 400mb of RAM alone. /g/ is far too obsessed with bloat and making sure they're only using 10% of their computer's capacity.

>faster boot and shutdown times
the whole point of systemd is to be better at this. you will not get this if you drop systemd.

Ok I'm a programmer and I've been using GNU/Linux as my main OS for a year, though I'm still very far from being experienced. Now, I need to get as proficient as possible in 1 month. Any tutorials / ebooks recommended?

I know that you know exactly what I'm talking about. Why are you trying to nitpick in my statement?

>>61865090
>>61865251
But then why is my boot times getting slower and slower every systemd update? meanwhile theres an LTS nonsystemd shit that boots faster with the same hardware

Would compton be considered an expensive compositor for old-ish hardware?

>>61865418
No

>>61865317
No idea. LTS of what? How different are the kernels? Same distribution? Same* configuration and roughly same features? Does it simply feel slower or did you benchmark? If you used systemd-analyze between systemd updates, could you make out some components that became slower?

Is there a way to control MPV with the keyboard function keys on the T430 (F10 rewind, F11 play/pause, F12 fast forward). acpi_listen correctly registers the presses.

>>61865881
just identify the keys and put them in input.conf along with what you want them to do

>>61865915
If I don't have an input.conf can I just create a new one in /etc/mpv/?

>>61865979

>>61865996
Typing "yes" would have taken less time to type "read the manual".

>>61866032
i use the per-user location of ~/.config/mpv/, so i'd have had to check the manual if /etc/mpv/ is a valid location

>>61866053
>>61866032
-- also, the manual explains how to write an input.conf

>>61866053
>>61866059
Yeah, I just created an input.conf in my ~/.config/mpv/ and added the necessary line. All the default controls work as well.

I guess /etc/mpv/ is system wide configuration.

Is Xubuntu much better than Ubuntu +XFCE?

Been using systemd for more than a year and yes. It's degrading plus I don't ever want to see that stop job (literally 1hrs / nolimit).

>>61866469
I'd prefer arch or any other distribution that isn't fedora/debian/*buntu SJW.
Mint is jew, unity buntu tried to jew users and had conflict with kubuntu devs, fedora is meme tier compared to arch's pacman+pacaur+octopi.

TL;DR install arch if you enjoy maintaining your system and doing sysadmin stuff and minor to major tweaking.

>>61866327
>>61866469
Didn't Ubuntu already switch to gnome 3/4? IIRC.

>>61866469

Any suggestions for a proxmox alternative?

I can't seem to get GPU passthrough working on one of my VMs at all and I've been trying everything for a while now.

>>61868086
Have you tried regular old libvirt?

>>61868103
I mean I kind of was hoping for a more easily manageable option.

>>61868138
Tough shit. GPU passthrough is mostly designed to be used on top of a desktop distro. IIRC GNOME Boxes supports it, but that requires GNOME, and is just libvirt underneath. Passing GPUs to a VM on a server is pretty much exclusively used for virtual desktop infrastructure, which no vendor wants to make cheap and easy right now because it's so lucrative.

>>61868178
Yeah I realize but I'm being a lazy piece of shit.

I just wish I could get it working in Proxmox.

In the GTK3 filepicker, is there any way to get rid of the single-click behavior on selected folders?

It seems so silly to have to double click for non-selected folders but single-click if it's already selected.
Sometimes I accidentally double click and it enters the folder and selects a file in it, which erases the original filename I was trying to save and I don't remember what it was called (like a 4chan timestamp) so I have to close the whole filepicker and try saving the image again just to get the name back.

>>61869490
At first I didn't like it, but after time I like it.

>>61869490
where do they keep getting these shitty ideas from?

>>61869525
What's there to like though?
I can learn to like something if there's an actual reason behind it, but what possible philosophy could there be to do it this way?

Sure it might save me the time of 1 extra click on the few occasions that the folder I want to enter is the one that's already selected
But the cost is that now my brain also has to stop and consider EVERY time whether the folder is already selected or not.

I don't see it being a time saver at all, and not to mention they're breaking a very long standing tradition. What interface is this modeled after?
It's almost like they're trying to be unique just for the sake of being unique. Who asked for this?
and to just impose it upon everyone without even an option to turn it off? Who the hell do these devs think they are

>>61869593
See it as a double click with an infinite delay.

whats the optimal partition setup?

I usually do

swap
/boot/efi
/
/home

but I see a lot of people doing just

swap
/boot/efi
/

and some even do
swap
/boot/efi
/
/home
/opt

What's the best way to approach this?
What are the pros and cons?

I use it with a conjunction with rtorrent-magnet.sh copypasted from some distro's wiki (could be arch).

#!/bin/bash
watch_folder=/home/jakub/torrent/.rtorrent-watch
cd $watch_folder
[[ "$1" =~ xt=urn:btih:([^&/]+) ]] || exit;

It handles magnet links.

why would you ever not have your home folder on a separate partition? that's just crazy, in my opinion
>>61869803
if you care about the opinions of others, then yes, it's too late. But you shouldn't.

>>61869646
It depends on your needs. It's not really as difficult or delicate to figure out as it might seem.

For instance you don't even need a separate boot partition at all. All you need to do is make sure that whichever partition does have boot has the bootable flag enabled. That's it.
You can just have one big partition if you want and have boot remain on the same partition as your root directory / but then you'd set that partition to be bootable.

Other than that little requirement to set the bootable flag just do whatever you want.

As far as I know the 2 biggest reasons for splitting things to separate partitions are wanting to preserve data even when doing a complete wipe and reinstall (this is why some people like to put /home on a separate partition)
and the other big one is if you actually want certain parts of the file structure to use different filesystems (this is why people often put /boot on a different partition, e.g. make /boot ext2 and make the rest of the system ext4 or something, or because they want to set different filesystem options in their fstab like disabling access times)

Then there's also the swap partition if you want it. It's not necessary, but can be a good idea to have for cases where you might run out of RAM (it's also possible to set up a swap without needing a separate partition for it, but I guess it's a little more optimized to have a separate partition)

Also be aware that there is some debate about whether putting a partition at the front makes it faster, you can put them in any order so it's up to you.

>>61869837
Also for the record if you do put /home on a separate partition you want to give almost all of your disk space to it.

Outside of /home a GNU/Linux install rarely goes above 30-40GB. Almost all the data on your disk is going to be in /home

Just for flexibility. No reason to use a primary partition, LVMs are more fluid with no downsides.

Hey I have some problems with my KDE desktop that I don't really know how to change. Idk if this belongs on /sqt/ or not so please inform me if it does. First off, I would like to remove the rounded corners of the start menu button if that's possible. Second, when I open GNU Icecat for some reason the little icon in the top left that's supposed to be the Icecat icon just shows up as a generic icon of a dog. Third, the Breeze Dark theme I have set for GNU Icecat does not show up in Private Browsing mode. Though I know this one is a problem with Icecat itself and not KDE because the theme works fine in Waterfox Private Browsing mode. And finally, I would like to remove the gray triangle in the bottom right corner of all the windows that shows up when I have borders turned off. Thanks :)

LVM is more flexible, but extended partitions aren't
i hope you aren't confusing between the two

You're doing the whole thing utterly wrong. Try reading the build instructions.

>>61870148
Forgive me, I am noob, what's the difference?

All I read when setting up my system was that Primary partitions are kind of a relic of windows, and there's no reason not to choose logical, as they can be resized easier, and will never conflict with Windows' clusterfuck of boot rules.

>>61870228
I can't find the build instructions anywhere. Everywhere I click takes me back and forth between the github and AUR pages or shows scripts and codes. I don't see any kind of readme with instructions either. I looked at view PKGBUILD, clicked on search wiki, looked around dependencies and sources, and I still can't find anything on how to work it.
Where am I not looking? I'm sorry for being retarded. This is my first time messing with github and such.

>>61870442
logical partitions is an old hack to work around the 4 partition limit of ms-dos formatting
it's basically a "primary" partition containing another ms-dos format, allowing 4 (logical) partitions within that (primary) partition

a partition is a partition, "primary" was only added to the name to differentiate them from the logical partition hack partitions

ideally you should be using GPT, a newer disk format which allows for 128 partitions

LVM is an entirely unrelated technology, which is a bit complex to summarise in few words, see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_Volume_Manager_%28Linux%29

>>61870442
>>61870544
just noticed,
note that "logical partition" and "extended partition" both refer to the same thing when it comes to ms-dos formatting
LVM uses the term "logical /volume/", which is something else entirely

Hi /flg/, I'm setting up a Raspberry Pi as a bit of a home server. I've found a distro called Minibian, which has cut down all the fluff that normally comes with Raspbian.

The default user is root, so I've already created a standard user to sudo from so that I'm not logging in as root.

However, I'm keen to make the system secure for all the relevant services it'll be running (OpenVPN, SSH, FTP, Samba, Torrent server, etc). Is it better to create a separate user for each of these services? How best to manage this aspect?

Thanks

>>61871320
Ye. Debian should create a new user for all of them anyway. If not create new usr, put user in group chown and chmod relevant directories to give group write access. Should be an option in config files to set the user to run at.
