Nothing it’s just a good distro.

However installing Manjaro means you’re an irredeemable brainlet who uses a baby distro because they’re unable to install Arch.

What if the person in question has made a changes to the installation wiki and his edits got voted into the public wiki?

No matter the use case if you use Manjaro you’re an irredeemable brainlet.

But he's not, your own reason of him being a brainlet does not apply to him.

Manjaro retards and that one arch redditor: kindly fuck off, both of you.

>uses Manjaro
>not a brainlet

Pick one. Faggot.

Cute!

>openbox is ''considered done''
>still uses xlib instead of xcb

>great pyramids considered "done"
>don't even have electricity

xlib is truly shit, though.
I've actually done some X11 programming before.

Kek

found the openboxlet

so you're saying ob is ancient, useless and in ruins
good comparison user

>>don't even have electricity
You sure about that?

>I've actually done some X11 programming before.

is xcb as shit?

xcb is a much better library, but the docs are shit, at least until you understand the proper space you're supposed to look.
xcb is actually automatically generated from the X11 extension specifications, so you want to read those instead of actually looking for xcb itself.

xcb is fully asynchronous, so it gives you an opportunity to not make your program block in retarded places or block behind your back.

What are some WMs similar to Openbox that use xcb instead?

It's not actually something a user would care about, but I think i3wm and awesome use xcb.
These days, xlib is just implemented as a compatibility layer on top of xcb.

I'm confused.
So, AMD is better for Linux because of drivers, but for ML i still need to go for Nvidia?
As far as i remember Keras and Tensorflow(well maybe not Tensorflow now, but before) needs Nvidia gpu, and also this cuda shit.
Just tell me what kind of gpu i need.

>i3wm and awesome
bloat

X11 as a whole is bloated.

Are you the same guy that has been seething over Manjaro the past few days? You have a very similar writing style.

I'll give you one reason that ticks me a bit off
>go to github something

Stealing credit is the bare root of our community.

>steal credits
more of a disregard for what it actually is which is rude

I don't really know how things are now, yet 2 years ago as far as i remember AMD gpu wasn't supported for ML at all.
>There's no support for AMD GPUs in TensorFlow or most other neural network packages. The reason is that NVidia invested in fast free implementation of neural network blocks (CuDNN) which all fast implementations of GPU neural networks rely on (Torch/Theano/TF) while AMD doesn't seem to care about this market
I don't know how things are now, and since i worked enough to change pc parts i can try ML once more now.

Manjaro is a baby distro for people too stupid to install arch.

Is there a good alternative to Microsoft Visio for Linux?

emacs

Arch is a baby distro for people too stupid to install gentoo.

I have a home server I want to run some decently up-to-date software on. Things like Debian and CentOS are too ancient for me.
I'm not running anything particularly critical.

Is Fedora server any good? Or are there any other recommendations for up-to-date server distros?

Attached: 1453303517244.png (336x280, 48K)

Why is Manjaro so comfy, lads?

fedora is what i think of when i hear up-to-date server

i don't host anything important but it has ran fine on my cheap vps

> Things like Debian and CentOS are too ancient for me.
Eh, why? The vast majority of server things is fine without running the latest anything [as long as it got security patches if needed].

Clients actually generally also don't move all that fast.

> Is Fedora server any good
Sure, it's okay.

Ubuntu server. While canonical recommends LTS for servers, you can use the nonLTS versions just fine and even add some PPAs.

I'm doing some shit with btrfs submodules, and up-to-date kernels are good for that.
I also want to mess around with some new systemd features.

As far as I know, current systemd 239 and the current stable branch kernel are both available for Debian at least [maybe also CentOS].

Grow up

You can use stable-backports on debian for up-to-date kernel on stable

Devuan Sysvinit or OpenRC?

I always forget that debian backports are a thing.
I'll have to take that into consideration.

OpenRC is probably the most useful init when you're not using systemd.

You also have to partition your drive, generate an fstab and install grub yourself to get your arch install to work so even that's too much for them. I just installed it for the first and I actually had trouble because my thinkpad required UEFI and grub didn't install correctly until I changed a bios setting that made my live usb boot with uefi. It was weird.

Which kernels???

I had good results with TensorFlow, Ubuntu 16.04 (well it was actually Linux Mint 18.3) and a GTX 1070. The only problem is the shitty nvidia drivers require you to make an account. The driver situation can be unnecessarily confusing so:

1. Install CUDA Toolkit 9.0 from developer.nvidia.com/cuda-zone by following this guide docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-installation-guide-linux/
2. Get the cuDNN SDK 7.0.5 for CUDA 9.0 from here developer.nvidia.com/rdp/cudnn-archive, follow the cuDNN Install Guide PDF for that specific version.
3. Stop nvidia drivers from breaking themselves because of dumb changing path shit:
sudo apt-mark hold libcudnn7 libcudnn7-dev

No idea about AMD, surely it can't be worse?

>generate an fstab
literally one command

linux

gentoo is for neets who don't watch anime
not because they don't want to but because they're compiling their video player

I've had the uefi thing with ubuntu too, very obscure error message but I guess it can't be helped.

Graphic interfaces are baby interfaces for people too stupid to use text interfaces.

Baby memes are baby memes for babys too baby to baby memes.

Are there any benefits from using ext4 on flash drive?

Attached: 1485939668475.png (700x700, 548K)

Flash is deprecated.

Because you’re a brainlet who can’t install arch and are forced to like your baby distro because it’s all you can use.

Fox and grapes

Because it makes Arch users angery.

Nah, you should use F2FS.

Never having to worry about losing it and having a windows user access your hentai

Based

if you're talking about pic related then no, I personally want to be able to use these on any OS so using a linux exclusive fs is retarded

Attached: 1526629582104.jpg (600x600, 24K)

True but FAT32 is gay, having to split archives into smaller than 4GB chunks is pretty annoying.

You should try LinuxFS.

Yes, as a matter of fact.
Fat32 is limited to 4 GB, the other solution is either NTFS which is stupid to use on flash media, making exFAT the sensible choice.
There are drivers for ext3/4 for windows, but I was wondering if it's better to use ext4 on flash drives.

Anyone here uses flex or lex tools? I get what they do but I can't find any information on what they're actually used for in real world. Something with compilers?

Should I run web browsers in a different environment? Using another namespace is enough to protect my personal stuff from mozilla and it's flaws?

sure you can make ext* work on windows but it requires installing shit which most of the time will not be possible on locked down systems
hopefully someone will mainline an exfat driver now that microsoft has signed the "no linux bully allowed" blood pact

while read -r line; do
if [[ $line =~ [0-9]+": >>> emerge (".*") media-video/mpv-" ]]
then start=${line%%:*}
elif [[ $line =~ [0-9]+": ::: completed emerge (".*") media-video/mpv-" ]]
then echo $((${line%%:*}-start)) seconds
fi
done <

But I've installed Gentoo before and I'm currently running an installation of Arch. Manjaro is still comfy-tier.

>mainline an exfat driver
Isn't there one?
>it requires installing shit which most of the time will not be possible on locked down systems
There are ways to bypass those.

>Isn't there one?
nah, exfat is patent encumbered which means mainline inclusion is too risky

>ext4
>4

Recommend me a new terminal emulator.

My requirements:
1. Not VTE-based
2. Reads Xresources
3. Can into transparency
4. Can into Xft with no problems (not URXvt)

I really like my St, but the moment I set proper FG/BG colors for PyWal, transparency patch stops working.

desktop composition = bloat

>Can into Xft with no problems (not URXvt)
works on my machine

I know, but recently I want to have a bit of transparency and blur in my terminals.

>works on my machine
Lucky you.
I had personal problems with URXvt+Xft fonts+Compton+Vim/ranger.

Also, selecting proper font is a pain in the ass sometimes.

No you haven’t you baby distro using faggot

Thats why i ask.
I'm about to buy good gpu, so i need to know what will be better.
But thanks you user.

>but I was wondering if it's better to use ext4 on flash drives.
ext4 without journal is a good choice for USB flash media.

need a launcher
like plank
with big ass icons
that auto hides
for i3

what do

Attached: bait.jpg (125x119, 2K)

just use VTE, nigger

>manjaro users thinking they can look down on anyone

Kek

Nah, thanks.

Alacritty seems to be working OK for my purposes.

I'm tired of re-burning a new ISO every time a new version is released.
And since I have 32 GB USB flash drive I was thinking of making a multiboot USB flash drive that can boot from ISOs.
Should I go with Easy2Boot or MultiBootUSB?

Attached: Screenshot_2018-10-26_12-28-32.png (969x337, 417K)

use arch, you can do a persistent installation on a usb and you can keep it up to date with pacman -Syu

I already have LiveUSB with arch on it.
I was thinking more along the lines of troubleshooting ISOs.
