Nah

Would you guys pay $300 for a librebooted x200 with a 9 cell battery and 240 GB SSD? Why are people on ebay bidding it so high?
That's how I used it, edited the workspaces and other shorcuts to be similar to i3 and swapped workspaces for everything.

Go to minifree and get one for $50. They're on christmas sale.

>"one of the big three"
Elaborate.

...

There are only three distros: Arch, Debian and Gentoo, alphabetically.

how about ubuntu?

>arch - "lets fuck up your configs for the sake of 'bleeding edge' packages" - gnu/linux
>debian - "outdated packages and systemd" - gnu/linux
>gentoo - (nothing wrong with gentoo outside of pisspoor hardware management) - gnu/linux
The big three are the big gay (except Gentoo). The real big three are Devuan, Slackware, and Gentoo.

Pissed and shat on Debian.

Debian pissed and shat itself by choosing systemd.

Nice collection of memes, but you're wrong.

"You're wrong" isn't an argument.

debian has s rolling version
arch doesn't touch your configs, has systemd aswell

Were is the audio guy asking for audio stuff? I found something for him github.com/nodiscc/awesome-linuxaudio

I did it. it was fucking grep like usual

dir="$(pwd)"
for i in *; do
if [ -d "$i" ]; then
echo "$i is a directory"
echo "going to cd into this directory"
cd "$i" || exit
for j in *; do
if [ -f "$j" ]; then
echo "$j"
name=$(basename "$j" | cut -d . -f1)
grep -wrl "$name" "$dir"
fi
done
cd ..
else
echo "$i isn't a directory"
fi
done

They don't look much less expensive even with the sale. The lowest priced one with an SSD is 338 euros which I think is nearly $400 usd? And the lowest costed one with bad ram and HDD still costs $200 and doesn't specify if it comes with a 9 cell battery?

I don't see any reason why you couldn't.

>le systemd bad meme
is reddit in here?

What happened to Arch-OpenRC?

It was the user, like usual.

Systemd isn't bad, but it isn't the best. It has many security vulnerabilities that aren't desirable.

for example?

That's just a more verbose version of . The only thing that changes is that you stripped the extensions and added useless cd stuff.

for file in */*; do
name="$(basename -- "${file}")"
name="${name%.*}"
echo "${name}"
grep -wrl "${name}" .
done

If you give basename an -- you should also give it to grep.

Why the loop? The -r flag makes grep recursive already.

Yeah, I just took his arguments. I added -F before for fixed strings, in grep the equivalent I guess would be using -e.

grep -wrl -F -e "${name}" .

Has anyone here installed Linux on a Chromebook? Is it generally compatible? How do you deal with 32gb local storage?

install gentoo

>installed Linux on a chromebook
They come with GNU/googlebotnet/gentoo/linux preinstalled. I know that you can unbotnet some models, just look it up.

For the system itself, 32GB is plenty of room. You'll probably want some external/remote storage for your own files though.

hello i am just curious is there an unfriendly linux thread for people who do not like microsoft and vmwares involvement?

I was given one secondhand and was disappointed to find the RAM and storage were fixed, but I guess I don't use enough packages to take up too much. Might be a nice netbook once the botnet is taken out.

If you want to bitch about something then go ahead.

friendly is just a suggestion.

You could save some porn on it.

Arch runs great on my C720. Look up your model on the Arch wiki to see how to boot GNU/Linux

Scanning mode was a mistake.

I don't even know what you're really trying to do, but
find -type f -exec basename -z -- {} \; | sed -Ez 's/^(.*)(\..*)?$/-e\x0\1/' | xargs -0 grep -rF

installed Linux on my toshiba chromebook 2 two years ago, at the time there was no drivers for the integrated gpu and the touchpad was barely functional. there's galliumos now tho, haven't tried it but it's made for chromebooks. so install that if you have a proprietypad and want little struggle.

Don't make me say it.

Actually, I thought of a slightly better way to do it with fewer processes:
find -type f | xargs basename -az -- | sed -Ez 's/^(.*)(\..*)?$/-e\x0\1/' | xargs -0 grep -rF
Or the basename bit could even be rolled into sed.

sed is the standard text stream editor

Arch actually sounds like a decent way to get the minimal amount of packages I want to maximize space. I'll check the wiki page.

Reminder that Arch packages are huge

Linux!

Verbose is easier to read, I'm not getting paid by the clock here so as long as the next guy who does my job can understand what I did that's all that matters. That being said thanks for simplifying my script

>regex

>the next guy who does my job
Hopefully he'll know shell and rewrite your ugly broken mess.

>botnet is taken out.
You use that same botnet to make all your posts on Jow Forums.
You willingly submitted your personal information to hiros investors with very post you make
>but muh meme botnet on a chromebook

>>regex
I don't understand your meme arrows. There is nothing wrong with regex.

Nothing is wrong with it if you understand it. The guy I'm working with may not understand it and the guy who will replace me will definitely not understand it. That's the issue

Retard.

help me Jow Forums, im trying to move from windows to manjaro on a hp elitebook 6930p. i have created the bootable usb with yumi and boot into manjaro but the issue is that even tho i installed manjaro by clicking on the installation icon, when im asked to restart and the laptop restarts i get the error Non-System disk or disk error. what could this be? sorry im new to linux and am basically trying to get into it by using this laptop i got for free.

niceme.me

On Manjaro. Installed steam-manjaro and proton from AUR.

Nothing works. No games launch and going into the directory and running the .exe with wine doesn't work either.

You literally used the google recaptcha botnet again to make this post

I have a laptop with a spare harddrive slot I'd like to use. It currently has Fedora installed and during installation I selected the LVM and LUKS preset for partitioning the hard drive. If I install a 2nd hard drive, how do I add it to the existing LVM and ensure it is encrypted correctly?

There's the me_cleaner tool, that's all I know.

Trips are botnet, they are used to track you

Fellas, your boy here wanted to switch to a spicy new OS, so which distro is the most aesthetic for weeb faggot trash like me? Bonus points if it's EZ.

Windows 8

I have just recently started using Linux and installed Ubuntu 18.10 because it (supposedly) works with nvidia drivers.

I wanted to try installing i3-gaps on it, but failed to compile from source with the error that 'No C Compiler found in $PATH'.
Now, I have build-essentials installed and up to date (I used 'sudo apt install --reinstall as well) but the command 'which gcc' returns nothing. 'whereis gcc' returns /usr/lib/gcc. I added the file paths I found using 'locate gcc' to the PATH variable in /etc/environment to make it permanent. The paths are even listed in the config.log file I get when trying to compile, but I still get the error all the same. 'which gcc' does not change either.

Can anyone who knows this stuff help me? I am pretty much at my wits' end.

Never used Linux, always used Windows 7 (after debloating, tweaking, running ancile script etc.) but I have a (currently useless) chromebook, and I want to install Debian (It seems like a good distro to start with) on it. I want the chromebook to be more or less wiped, keeping chromeOS or any data is not important, I want to completely replace it with Linux. What is the best way to go about this?

what is your PATH and does the file /usr/bin/gcc exist?

Haven't installed Debian in years but at some point the installer should give you a beginner friendly option that will select a whole hard drive and replace its contents with Debian's partitions.

wait chromebooks allow you to install linux? I thought they wouldn't allow anything other than chromeOS unless you tinkered with it
alright that makes this simple I guess

I just bought a bluray of a live concert, but remembered that I only have my ubunut laptop to play it on for now. Can I play blurays on ubuntu using VLC or MPV?

Did you try it?

I just tried then, but I get this issue. I suppose this is some DRM bullshit that I won't be able to get around?

Did you try vlc-bluray.whoknowsmy.name/ ?

Has anyone used i3 modes more extensively than just the "resize" mode that comes with it out of the box?

I was just thinking about how i3 hotkeys really aren't like VIM at all (by default at least) because the whole point of vim modes is that you don't have to press combinations like "alt+j" you just press "j".

So I was wondering if I could move basically ALL my i3 hotkeys into a "window-management" mode and then I could move windows around, resize, etc with single keystrokes.
It seems like it could take a while to set it up that way so I just wanted to ask and see if anyone has some more experience with i3 modes and knows if maybe it has some limitations or whatever that could save me time.

ChromeOS is GNU/linux idiot. You can use crouton to use normal linux applications without uninstalling chromeOS and it's android app support.

Yeah, that's what I followed. I'm assuming that the AACS file has to be updated with the key for my bluray disc or something.

hey bros I found an Acer Aspire One netbook inside a box in my house, and to try to, my question is, what OS should I go with? I don't know absolutely anything about linux, I looked around in google and I was wondering if I should install something like "Lubuntu" or "Linux Lite", or with something that was made specifically with the Acer Aspire One in mind like "Kuki Linux"

The computer's specs if you're wondering are:
cpu: Intel Atom N550 1.5ghz
ram: 1gb DDR3
Please have in mind that I'm completely illiterate about linux, thank u!!!!!

I know that chromeOS is linux shut the fuck up.
when I say linux I mean something that isn't chromeOS. I don't like calling it linux because even though I don't use linux chromeOS seems to go completely against what linux is about. and I figured Google didn't want to allow you to unbotnet their shitty laptop

I don't even own a blu-ray player but from just reading up on its DRM, I would guess so. It seems retarded though, constantly having to update devices to play new blu-rays.

I think that key file is just the most updated public one, so if your blu-ray disk is new it might not work.

Oh well, I'll just have to wait until I fly home and use my dedicated player.

Linux is a kernel.

shut the fuck up
