Complete linux normie. How do I get my desktop to look like this? Is this some sort of DE?

>>61875703

newbie, so no idea, but I'm using antergos with gnome, I select i3 at the antergos login screen

i installed arch i686 with lxde and its actually running 10x worse than when i was on debian 8 with xfce

it cant even handle more than 4 firefox tabs before it explodes

>>61876155
>i686
Theres your problem
Arch no longer supports i686

>>61875703
it's most likely solely a wm, usually i3 or openbox

read https://wiki.installgentoo.com/index.php/GNU/Linux_ricing#Window_Managers

>>61876176
i installed the final i686 version from february when it still supported i686

>>61876205
Find a different os then

what is best to try a distro, dual boot or virtual machine?

>>61876325
virtual machine, when dual booting there's always a risk you might screw up your grub shit.

>>61873669
I have a SoaC which will be running linux. It has one ethernet port and a usb 3.0 port.

I need two network interfaces on it for use with iptables.

I also have a usb to ethernet adapter.

How should I go about configuring this in such a way that the device recognizes the usb port with the attached usb-ethernet adapter as a network interface?

>>61876325
I feel the best option is booting into a live version of linux and then clicking 'install' and installing it onto a usb device.

This way you have a full version of linux that can save files etc, it doesnt mess up your bootloading, and it doesnt feel shitty running it as a vm

Hey guys, I want a Linux Distro that hasn't been compiled with GCC, do you know any?

>>61876535
download the kernel yourself and compile with something thats not gcc

>>61876550
this tbqhirlfa(m)

>>61876550
Follow these instructions and you can have a clang compile 4.12 kernel
https://github.com/ramosian-glider/clang-kernel-build

Running Manjaro as my main distro.
Also have Wangblows installed for dual booting.
If I remove Windows do I have to update grub?
If so, what do?

>>61876535
Why not use GCC?

>>61876572
You dont have too, it will just have an invalid boot option.

>>61876572
well, most likely not, but you should anyways otherwise there will be a dead entry to boot windows every time you power up.

also, good choice, friend, its been about 4 years since I dumped microshit and havent looked back since

>>61876572
not needed, but a good idea
>If so, what do?
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GRUB
pretty much this. Make sure you have a live boot linux available, you may or may not screw up the bootloader the first try or two and you just need to make sure you have a way to recover (if you mess up just boot into the live environment, mount the installed operating system, chroot into it, and then reinstall grub)

Went balls deep and replaced everything with Linux.

Only thing I'm having an issue with is running some exes with wine.

I tried starting them with the command Wine and wine start and it ain't working.

Any ideas?

>>61876755
Install winetricks, much friendlier.

>>61876782
It doesn't have any sort of option to run an exe.

Hello friendly linux thread my windows laptop's battery drains too fast, what's the best distro for saving battery? I still need wifi for git and email though

So I made a Void Linux (Mate) live CD for my MacBook Pro, and while it boots, the trackpad is completely fucked.
Moving my finger up and down does nothing, while moving my finger left and right moves the cursor up and down.
Is there anything I can do to fix this?
I'm currently trapped on the desktop and can't find a keyboard shortcut to get into the terminal.

How would I go about learning how to manually monitor the network connections to my computer? Maybe a program to see individual network requests and and processes they're attached to, and learn how to interpret it. I dunno.

Tried to dual boot Manjaro Linux and windows 7 on my thinkpad with 1 hard drive. Changed it from EFI to legacy and everything, finally booted into my 40 gb Manjaro partition, now I'm stuck there. Try to boot back into my windows partition with GRUB and I get an error that says something about my windows boot loader being broken. I may be able to get a windows disc to repair it, but will it delete all my files? Will I be able to boot back into my Manjaro partition? Am I fucked, /g/? Wat do?

>>61877165
You want tcpdump for raw data, wireshark for more power. Note you will not be able to read anything going over SSL without installing a MITM certificate on your machine.

>>61876585
>not an answer

Hey dudes, I did the opposite method and installed Win 10 AFTER Arch. My partition table is as follows:

sda1 - efi
sda2 - 75gb ntfs (for win 10)
sda3 - /boot ext2
sda4 - /root ext4
sda5 - /home ext4

No matter what I do, I can't get Windows to show up in GRUB. If I select the drive in my bios boot menu (they're both on the same drive), it will get me to windows, otherwise it'll take me to GRUB and I can only boot into Arch.

Any way to get it figured?

>>61877026

You are so advanced that you need to use Void Linux. Surely you can solve such a simple problem.

is there a realistic way to change the noise texture and screensaver on gdm3 on ubuntu?

i know it aint rm fm /

>>61877188
you can always mount your windows partition from manjaro and use your files, also backup them, for the windows disc you dont need one, just download a windows 7 iso (preferably the same version you had installed) and install it onto a usb with something like win usb or unebootin and use it as a windows disc

Gentoo is not very good for ricing

Delete ~/.config/i3/config.

You will be greeted by "no config" dialog.

Or just stop being a noob and read the fucking manual.

There is an Arch wiki page specifically for dual booting wangblows with it.

There are Arch newbie forums.

There is a fuckin IRC channel for newbies.

Why on the Earth did you thing asking for help on /g/ was a good idea?

>>61879672
Because dipshit, I have literally tried every possible suggestion on the Dual Booting page to no avail. I thought this was FRIENDLY linux, asshole.

I cannot for the life of me get it to boot. I can create an entry in GRUB, but it boots to nothing.

>>61879368
>can't run firefox
>wants to compile all of his software
I implore you reconsider

>>61879707
>tried every possible suggestion on the Dual Booting page to no avail
That is not true. If it were true, then /g/ wouldn't be able to help you and asking here would be redundant.
In fact, nobody here can help you with anthing ever, so asking here is redundant regardless.

>>61879707
Lol y r u using arch

>>61877979
I think your problem is that you have hybrid boot (i.e. boots both UEFI and legacy) and you booted Windows installation in legacy (BIOS) mode and so it installed Windows in legacy mode.
GRUB running from UEFI can't boot a system using the legacy boot method, which is also referenced in the Archwiki page on dualbooting with Windows.

>>61879878
what is wrong with arch ? is it because it is harder to install than ubuntu but easier tthan gentoo ??

>>61880105
Arch uses GNU software,get a real distro like Alpine

>>61879779
>If it were true, then /g/ wouldn't be able to help you and asking here would be redundant.
If I knew that were the case, then true, i would have avoided it.

>>61879990
Possibly but it wouldn't even let me do any formatting if I started the win 10 install media in uefi mode.

You can try reinstalling GRUB for BIOS boot and run configuration again and then it should be able to boot Windows.

I have troubles enabling hardware video acceleration in mpv in arch. I have radeon 380, i've installed amdgpu and xf86-video-amdgpu, but it seems there are basically no supported profiles. Basically every file i try to play with vaapi dropping into sofware mode. It seems vdpau works, but isn't it for nvidia cards? Also, pretty sure, last year, when i tried linux(also) arch for first time, i used vappi and it worked fine, but i used radeon instead of amdgpu, i think. So, should i just stick with vdpau?

>>61880663
>arch
there's your problem,get a distro that works

>>61880684
Which do you recommend?

>>61880704
Alpine Linux,Sabotage Linux

>>61880300
Trust me, nobody here has a clue about nothing. It's all just memes and bullshit.

I wouldn't be here if I knew anything either. And I'm running Arch as well.

My advice? Don't dual-boot. I dual booted Windows 7 with Ubuntu and I had problems with wifi card every day of the week. Deleted windows, and everything works perfectly.

Windows simply plays dirty with a lot of hardware.

if you do

do you also need to

?

are there any serious problems with manjaro that make arch a significantly better choice?

Computer diversity is mistake, after all.
It makes Linux complicated.

>>61882096
Are you suggesting that we remove modularity from personal computing? Is that what you're actually saying? Because there's an OS for that.

Linux is a kernel.

>>61881890
I'm a brainlet, I hope systemctl disable is enough on a systemd distro.

>>61882096
Blame the hardware companies for not having open free hardware documentation/drivers.
Also, use ethernet. It's way faster than wifi anyway.

how can I remove all gnu off my linux?

That will pretty much break the whole system. You can't simply replace vital parts of a system like that. The whole system must be build around those replacements, libs and utils.

No sane person would install Alpine on the desktop.

>>61890174
>lying on the internet

>>61886836
This is usually related to faggy virtualbox settings. Like related to ACPI, etc.

I would recommend to go dual boot, just make sure you have good backups just in case. You can always reclaim the space later, and the most common linux installers make it quite straightforward.

>>61890226

"Attempting to kill init!" it says at the bottom, and i cant seem to figure what it says at the top. I've compiled the kernel, added initramfs, i've installed grub and ran mkconfig, I've done it all.
