Why the attention whoring roastie using memes she probably doesn't understand?

Give me a floating WM that also supports tiling, without switching modes, just throwing windows to the sides or other monitors (and back to their original floating position!) directly with hotkeys, also min- and maximizing. Preferably one that doesn't pull a million dependencies.
Also a file manager that supports folder specific layouts. Out of all the major ones I've tried only Nemo had this so far.
Enough with this shitty meme. You weren't here when she posted her vagene

Suggestion: use your package manager or just use windows.
Cameron Ross
Fine, I deleted the post. But think on the noobs.
James Lee
No, I mean, any Linux, even Apppackaged, is better than Windows; however, the tech is quite new along with a bunch of competitors, including at least Flatpak. Maybe Pottering will make systemd-dependent appimages. I'll wait and see what will survive. In the meantime, I'm fine with a statically compiled software.
Daniel Lewis
Linux is just a kernel.

How to make bash usable? I've been using fish for quite some time now, but all the hacks and rewrites I have to do because bash scripts aren't compatible with fish are getting on my nerves.
the shell is shit, auto-completion barely works, and it lacks tons of neat stuff I have with the fish shell, but hey if that's the state of perfection, fine

Is Debian better or is Arch better?
Brandon Hernandez
I don't like it (for no reason other than I have always used ifconfig) and I'm afraid of having to use it when nobody maintains the old tools any more
It's fine user, embrace ip, it does everything all the old tools do but you can actually read the command and have some idea what it does instead of it being a flaggy mess.
For dual booting, should I free up space with window's disk management first to create a free partition instead of using the partitioning tool of whatever loonex I want installed?
Ethan Wood
i wanna suck her dick
Josiah Butler
It's a girl you mong
Caleb Price

Anthony Perez
yeah, looks like a 'girl' to me too

Jackson Clark
Have you checked the archievs or are you just pretending to be dense?

Just looked at it again and they got new pics since I last visited, time to make a new fetchin' script to get all of them :O
Suppose my wireless interface is named 'wlp3s0' and the network I need to connect to uses WPA encryption. How can I connect in a fast and reliable way?
opensuse install uses btrfs for root, and xfs for /home any reason not to use this config? ie use ext4 for everything instead. I have an SSD, am wondering if there's a catch.
Angel Hernandez
xfs is good when you have a lot of small files on a partition, which is probably the average case for a home directory. btrfs is a meme for most users, but it does have a lot of compelling features that maybe opensuse actually uses. In day to day use you'll not really notice much of a difference but I think you can't put a swap file on btrfs (you'll need it on some other filesystem or make a swap partition) and calculating the actual free space left can be confusing but btrfs is fine.
ext4 is fine too it's up to you
Gabriel Ward
Got me a meme install of Arch and i3. Configured my keybindings to my liking and installed rofi.
Now what?

Let's be honest here. Arch is the best distro. Not because the distro but because of the AUR and the Wiki.

Any reason why you're using fedora kde over opensuse kde?
Camden Morris
I always end up making my opensuse installs huge clusterfucks with over 9000 repos and I was curious what the Fedora "workstation" spin was all about so I installed it
Landon Ortiz
Any reason you're considering a non-Arch, Debian or Gentoo distro worth anything?
