This thread is for people who want to be big braned on GNU +Linux.
If you would like to try out GNU/Linux you can do one of the following: 0) Install a GNU/Linux distribution of your choice in a Virtual Machine. 1) Use a live image and to boot directly into the GNU/Linux distribution without installing anything. 2) Dual boot the GNU/Linux distribution of your choice along with Windows or macOS. 3) Go balls deep and replace everything with GNU/Linux.

>minimal manjaro install - 870 packages Everything you said is false. You can go as minimal as you want from the architect iso. You really think that there is just a single option available. Lmfao. There are 13 spins.
>updates can actually break the whole system More likely to happen on Arch. The entire reason Manjaro exists is to hold back packages that are causing issues in Arch until it is resolved.
I created a new lvm logical volume,used mkfs on it and then mounted,but 'blkid' does not list the volume.However the other logical volumes i have on the same volume do show up in blkid. How do i find the new uuid of the new mount point?
Colton Smith
lvdisplay
Jace Johnson
That command produces different uuid's(They are different and are 2 characters longer ) then blkid and then those that are in my fstab for the other already created and mounted logical volumes
Ethan Phillips
i prefer the term untainted
Jose Cooper
ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid
Even if the format is different, did you you try it in fstab?
Asher Wood
>tfw no GNU/questions to ask This was more fun when I had problems
You haven't read user horror stories if you think the Manjaro devs actually do their job of holding packages that'll break the system back. Manjaro shouldn't be a thing, if anything it should be a fork of the Arch repository that you can use in place of the normal repository that holds back packages, there is no need for a whole fucking distro.
Julian Martinez
Thats not how you spell Slackware
Jose Sanders
Slackware - it follows UNIX philosophy, it is nearly as old as the kernel itself (meaning a lot of community support), and lets me manage my own dependencies
I want to discuss what people think about the current release schedule of debian. I know they have been like that for ong: testing gets feed from tested packages from unstable, gets freezed and turned into stable, then testing goes back to normal and stable stays that way with bug fixes for like 2 years or more. Packages on stable become really old so 2 years of that is somewhat nuts, I think they really should make more stable releases. Since in the period stable is not being released they are just spinning in circles the testing and unstable branch without actually doing nothing at the end, I mean they will go through several versions of packages, bug fixes may not apply from version to version so they are basically wasting energy by keeping that, from the release of stable to the next release the versions change a lot and bug fixes made by debian maybe don't even persist. > What do you think of their release schedule? > Do you use testing?

All bloat is optional is you choose a base system in installer
KDE Neon >Stable base >DE is both as up-to-date as possible and stable >DE has a bunch of things I like and >Distro cuts out most redundant software options between base and DE, leaving the default installation pretty light
Let's put it this way: the worst thing about Neon is that KDE doesn't have great theming options.

Ryder Wright
>You haven't read user horror stories if you think the Manjaro devs actually do their job of holding packages I've been using it for over 4 years and had no issues so it seems that these 'horror stories' must be due to user error. I switched because Arch updates broke something significant once or twice a year, things that were fixable and the forum blew up with posts about immediately but I'd rather not deal with. These are the things that Manjaro holds back.
>Manjaro shouldn't be a thing, if anything it should be a fork of the Arch repository that you can use in place of the normal repository that holds back packages, there is no need for a whole fucking distro. Bad take. They're doing an awesome job.
At least as far as using a more involved distro, install it in a VM and dick around with it there first to get a hang of what to do.
You could fuck it right up and just delete it afterward with no risk to your current setup.

still on the quest to make the url-handler script work. xdg-open parses the link properly but if i click on the link, the script/parsing fails or whatever. works for anything that isn't a youtube/twitch/vimeo link for now. #/bin/sh

why are manjaro faggots so resilient? Is the most retarded distribution to use and has been debunked several fucking times, I don't even understand if it's a massive bait or raid. >buggy untested base >devs hardly can code >security is a fucking joke >package number is low so you have to use a shit untrusted binaries mirror mantained by users with unaudited code why don't you retards just use ubuntu? it's made off a stable distribution, debian testing, the packages are very modular compared to arch since they come from debian. Or just fucking use debian in the first place? If what you are looking is more up to date packages you have fedora or suse tumbleweed which are also very stable even though they have smaller repositories than debian, same as arch but with stability, security, speed and even more lightweight. You are just being hipsters using something no sane hobbyst hacker or professional would ever use, even arch is more stable since it has no pajeet middle man adding botnets to its packages
Christian Parker
How do you properly seek in mpv on very long local files.Even playing with the seek cache and caching(giving it 10gb) it STILL cannot seek on large long files and locks up and has to be forced closed.
Luke Peterson
>still uses if/else grep instead of case did you learn anything from the last thread?
There is no reason to. It differs in no way from Arch. What? No. There is no need for a whole distro. This is something that can be done with a repository fork, there is absolutely no need for a full distro, it's a waste of time for the devs to develop a whole distro.
What do you guys think about void linux? I had never installed a distro that didn't come with a DE right after installation, but I wanted to try building it myself so I gave void a try.
I installed xorg, xterm and i3. When using startx some white xterm terminals appear, so then I launch i3. The problem is that closing the xterm terminals results in going back to the black starting terminal. What if I just wanted to have my wallpaper and nothing else? I'm not sure how to set up i3

Based off of pepe. It's a penguin variant of a retarded frog meme.

Void is a meme.

Jason Davis
Does systemd phone home to google?
Noah Butler
How large are we talking about? I've never had that happen and I would assume mpv just seeks using libav which should be the best.
Slow/remote drive?
Brayden Anderson
No.
Thomas Nguyen
Really? I also tried arch but I liked the way the void installer guides you trough the process quite seamlessly, and people seem to praise that it doesn't use systemd and stuff.
Now I didn't have any problems with arch itself, I just didn't really know how to do a lot of stuff because I'm used to distros coming with some default programs by default.
Asher Perez
No, a frog meme that is retarded, not a meme of a frog that is retarded. You have to set the default display manager, then reboot the system. The display manager will appear upon reboot and you will be able to load into i3.

Did they just send a push message to your npc receiver?
Samuel Brown
Is that something that can be adjusted?
Why do more and more distros continue to adopt systemd?
How does a 1MB image of that resolution have image quality that poor?
Bentley Davis
Looks much better.
Henry Gutierrez
Catch the youtube etc stuff at the top *youtube*|*etc*
Liam Sanders
Only at build time. Pretty much nobody builds systemd themselves so it's up to the distro.
Josiah Perez
can you make this version of apu?
Tyler Thompson
I should also point out that most systems, even those using systemd, do not use systemd-resolved. It's just more useless bloat.
Brandon Gomez
What's the best retard-friendly distro with KDE?
KDE Neon? Kubuntu? openSUSE? PCLinuxOS?
Jaxon Taylor
>systemd falls back to Google nameservers when no nameservers are configured. Non issue. And would be the fault of the distro. I doubt any relevant distro will allow this to happen and if you were really worried about this you would configure it yourself.
4 things have to happen for this fallback.
1 You do not have DNS set up via DHCP 2 You do not have DNS set up via /etc/resolv.conf 3 You are using systemd-resolved for internal DNS resolution 4 You have not configured systemd-resolved with a different policy for when no discoverable DNS is available and /etc/resolv.conf contains nothing or invalid entries.

It's worth noting that KDE Neon claims to not be a distro. The main reason being, that KDE Neon comes out of the box with little to no software pre-installed. In other words, no Office Suite, media player, graphics application, etc. The main apps included are KWrite and Firefox, in addition to those included in KDE Applications. So Neon users get to mold their OS a bit more out of the box. Some looking for a full distro experience may find Kubuntu a bit better experience post-installation, whereas more power users may like Neon's minimalist installation to allow them to decide what apps are needed on their system.
One potential drawback to Neon is that it's based on Ubuntu's LTS release (currently Xenial), which is getting a bit long in the tooth at the moment. This can create issues for some things like gaming, for instance, where newer kernels and newer versions of the entire graphics stack are most definitely desirable. Of course this can be remedied with adding appropriate PPA's, but may be a bit of a hassle for some.
Overall, as mentioned above, they have decidedly different target audiences. And both are great additions to the KDE Community. Finally, I will also add that the current crop of Kubuntu Devs do a great job in getting major KDE releases back-ported in a timely fashion. Much better than they have historically. I suspect that this is due to KDE Plasma being a more mature product, so there are likely less worries about major incompatibilities and breakages. I have no problem recommending either, although I suspect most Neon users don't need to me to recommend it for them, as they are savy enough to know what's best for them, and likely know that there is a little more work involved in getting things 'just right' for them.

>TLS handshake_failure It's kind of vague. Maybe you don't have the necessary CA certs or your system clock is off.
