/fglt/ - Friendly GNU/Linux Thread

About 50% of these run natively. Don't know about Rust, CS:GO runs natively, and much better than on Windows for me.

Proton is built in to the steam client when you turn on the beta client. It will show a new config option in settings called "steam play".
Unless you need the developer build the included libraries will suffice.

Thank you I will.

The only thing keeping me on Windows is Ableton Live. I've messed around with Bigwig, and it seems like a great alternative, but I'm wondering if my hardware is gonna work well (Focusrite 6i6 and a Push 2).
I'm also curious if I should worry about systemd enough to let it dictate which distro I try, as it will probably cause issues trying to avoid it...

my old laptop (Toshiba Satellite P500, 4GB RAM, 2GHz CPU) chugs significantly running Windows 7 even when it's been stripped down to only using ~1GB of RAM when idle. I'm thinking about installing Linux Lite but in my experience running Linux on a laptop almost always leaves some things not working or not as functional as they are on Windows. Is it worth it? I don't care about battery life as long as everything works with my dual monitor/sound setup

EVERY NEET A KING

Can I force mount a filesystem on a device smaller than itself? There's no actual data beyond the size of the device, but I want to filesystem to report that it's a bigger size so I don't want to resize it.

Try booting with a live cd image to see if your equipment works.

You don't need to worry about systemd at the user level, at least at the start - you won't be exposed to it unless something goes wrong in your system or you want to set up a systemd-nspawn container or something. If you decide you dont like it for whatever reason later on, you can easily just install Void or w/e.

Go back to /leftypol/

Mounting something onto the filesystem won't make it report being larger than it actually is.
Any filesystem size calculations don't go over the filesystem boundary.

How much is a performance hit using flatpaks? I hear that since they don't used share libraries it takes up more resources.

I'm thinking of switching to NixOS (or the one that starts with G), because I like the idea of packages being updated upstream but worried about performance.

>because I like the idea of packages being updated upstream
What?
Literally every distro uses upstream packages, 99% of them dont even touch them unless there is something blaringly broken for their distro

My goal is to have a partition that looks like it spans the full drive, but actually there is a hidden partition at the end. Using cryptsetup I created the first partition using the full drive, then the second specifying --offset and --size. The problem is if I write too far on the first one I can overwrite the second one. My idea is I'd open the first partition using size matching the second's offset, but then mount complains that the device is too small for the size of the filesystem, which is true in a way.

You were workin' as maintainers in a distro list
When I met you
Systemd ticked you off, shook you up and turned you around
Turned you into something new

Now five years later you've got the world at your feet
Success hasn't been easy for you
I won't forget, it's you who put me where I am now
And you can put me back down too

Devs, Devuan me
You know I can't believe it, when I boot without SystemD
Devs, Devuan me

It's much too late to find
You think you've changed your mind
You better not take it back or we'll both be sorry

Devuan me, baby
Devuan me, oohhh
Devuan me, baby
Devuan me, oohhh

I was working as a dev on Debian's mailing list
That much is true
But even then I knew I'd find a much better place
Either with or without GNU

The years we had have been such good times
I still love GNU
But now I think it's time I live my life on my own
I guess it's just what I must do

Devuan me, baby
Devuan me, ohhh
Devuan me, baby
Devuan me, ohhh

>virtualbox
after 'close -> save the machine state' and running machine up again, inet of in it is lost. Btw Network is bridged.

Only option is to restart system to get my ip back.

Do you know how to make this fuck working? i need stable ip address and connection after saving and setting back system. Restarting is not an option.

You need to grow up already if you still play video games.

I'm running KDE plasma on arch, how do I remove it and replace it with i3 without a complete reinstall

my gurus i want to switch to the linux side, but im worried with two factors
1)compatibility with my laptop
i have a memepad t510 but ive read in the thinkwiki that ubuntu and the such have compatibility issues with the laptop, but its last update was in 2012
so i dont know
2)programs compatibility
i mostly use the laptop for fl studio, i dont know if itll work with linux, i dont really care for muh games and the such but its also a bonus so yeah.
hope someone can enlight me with knowledge

Attached: 1404166175543.gif (500x460, 499K)

why not just install i3 alongside it?

Install Fedora systemd

Just install it and see if it does what you expect. If performance or compatibility is a problem just go back.

k gonna try, thanks for the response, also is there any distro ez to rice but with a big repository? i mean like atleast near arch linux ricing level (not gonna spam desktop threads just for max comfyness)

how install gentoo less than hour? my english not very good sorry.

you rice DE/WM not distros

arch linux

Ubuntu netinstall.

ohhh now im learning

thanks for the responses yall have a (you)

no listen to them go gentoo

Whenever i go to mount my xfs drive the kernel panics and throws a kernel bug,systemd conveniently always corrupts the log so i can never get the full log to post. But it was something about xfs_log_recover.
Where would i begin to fix this? All the search results im finding are behind a paywall for oracle and rhel

RTFM

gentoo wiki take too long
more than hour i want one hour i am pressed for time

I have a small issue.

When you install your typical distro and try editing a file in a GUI text editor and saving it, it will have a popup asking for your sudo password.

Well I did a minimal install and got things setup, but I cannot get this to work in i3.

I've asked this before about a week or two ago and some user said to install gksu, but it does nothing.

I installed XFCE and it has this feature without editing anything, but i3 does nothing. I can't even open preferences in pamac-manager without having to open a terminal and typing sudo. There's no other way I can figure out to do sudo stuff in GUI applications with i3.

>being property of a monarch

Arch lets you go balls-deep but if you just want to try out go with Ubuntu.

There should be a setting in your file manager that asks you for the SU program, you would set it to /usr/bin/gksu or just gksu.

>There's no other way I can figure out to do sudo stuff in GUI applications with i3.
sudo guiprogram
You can make certain programs not require sudo in the sudoers file, but i wouldnt add everything to it just for convenience

There's nothing you can do in Arch that you can't do in Ubuntu. Arch is just a base package group to start with a minimal base. Ubuntu spitballs 1,500 packages in their base hoping a few of them are suited for your hardware.

>Ubuntu spitballs 1,500 packages
That's why you netinstall.

I've tried putting sudo in my bindsyms but it does nothing then. I'm going to reinstall gksu and try gksudo

Is there an automated way to update AUR packages installed similar to pacman -Syu

sudo pacman -S yay
yay -Syu

Can you guess how I know you are a Microsoft shill?

Sounds like you're missing a policy kit. If you have XFCE installed, then boot up i3 and add the policy kit program to autostart in the config. I know Manjaro uses Gnome's policy kit package.

well i plan to go balls deep althought i dont know a ton, how can i fast check for compatibility in arg linux :DDDD
and what do and mean

Actually, no.

Use yay -Sua because -Syu will also update repo packages and updating repo packages with AUR wrappers can be harmful.

Really?

github.com/Jguer/yay/commit/3bdb534

Okay. Yay is the best AUR package manager because it basically acts like pacman, making it feel like a natural process.

I use yay too because it seems to be the most actively managed.

For the record you don't _need_ steam to play games on GNU/Linux. There's just not very many decent games that aren't on steam. And as the other user said proton is built into the steam client.
You may also have to enter the "public beta" before you can activate it for all games.

Miss me with that gay shit nigga.

Means you should use Ubuntu until those posts make sense.

>libtard
ha

Netinstall only installs the packages you need at install time. Using a standard installer gives you all the shit whether or not you need it (and it can be a PITA to remove some of that shit later.)

Suggested application on debian for creating bootable flash drives?

update on t510 guise i opend virtual box to see if it can run arch to check the installation process and it says i need a x86_64 compatible cpu, what do now???
do i switch to void linux or something like that?

i notice my wanting to be given treats with a spoon and i must apologize myself for being a commodore64-for-a-brain asshat and not search enough, gonna try with the arch linux 32, anybugs or info i should know beforehand?

>arch
Why you do that to yourself?

better than gentoo i guess, also i like the logo, who designed it?

is it supposed to mean he has a funny hat? i think its funny, ever seen that interview with the guy in the arch tshirt?

Yeah, the guy is my hero.

Grab the amd64 Arch iso and you'll be good.

anyway, what distro do you recc for a newbie who doesnt really like at all the ubuntu and mint de and wants to rice his system but doesnt care about muh minimalism at least in the context of packages
the thing is, i have a T510 with an i5 strapped onto it, i dont think itll work like that (but if it does please enlighten me)

Debian or Devuan is better, you can rice it with minimal effort. Even Ubuntu server works for this but I've got good experiences with Devuan netinstall, the only thing you'll need is to include the wifi firmware for your model. Is just a .deb file but you got to include it on a USB during installation or afterwards.

ok gonna check it, also while at it, whats the difference between windows manager (wm) and desktop enviroment (de)?

DEs include WM to begin with. A DE is a full bundle of stuff like the window manager, a login thingy, even some default applications and more stuff you might not need but that is ingrained in all. A wm is more modest, take it as something that makes your stuff look like they do and how they behave, it has more sense if you thing of them as the window decoration. Just be careful not to dive into a tiling window manager if you don't know one, or either take your time to get to know it before you use it.
