What are some terminal commands for impressing ladies

unzip && strip && touch && finger && grep && mount && make love && more && yes && fsck && fsck && fsck && umount; sleep

$ vrms -s | xargs sudo apt purge

why would you have nonfree software installed in the first place

Sup, /fglt/.
Need some tmux help.

Is there a way to open a pane as full screen from the choose-tree picker?
Scenario where it's needed:
>have a big window open on a big monitor
>currently using another small window on a small monitor
>need to access one pane from the big window
>select that specific pane via choose-tree
>it opens the whole big window on a small monitor, fucking up the split sizes because they don't fit on a small monitor

So if I could open that specific pane as a zoomed in pane on a small monitor, then other panes wouldn't be affected by the size changes.
Any way to achieve this?

I have a google cloud server setup running Ubuntu. I've already configured it to be connected via SSH.
Is there an alternate way to access the SSH remotely by not using the IP of the server?
Could I mask the IP in some "cloud.google.com/whatever" and connect like this?

Why Linux?

Should I use i3, i3-gaps, or awesomewm?

I don't know if Google sets up a domain for you somewhere, but you usually do that with a dynamic DNS service like no-ip or DynDNS.

Finally wiped Windows 10 from my Laptop after not using it for more than an hour in total since I bought it half a year ago.
Now just running Fedora and Gentoo.

Gnome

Neither. i3 is shit, i3-gaps is literally shit with gaps. Awesomewm uses lua therefore it is shit too. Use dwm or ratpoison like a decent human being.

God, she can free my software anytime.

i3 if you don't need gaps and want something easy to use that just works
i3-gaps if you like how gaps look (if you make them over 4 pixels big, you should seriously consider sudoku though)
awesome if you don't like i3 for some reason

Is there a guide for installing Luke Smith's LARBS on ubuntu? Some things just seem to not be available in the list, or i cant figure out how to install them, and im struggling through very slowly by looking up every individual thing.

>autorice
sounds like the dumbest shit I've ever heard.
Anyway, there's nothing special in progs.csv. Some of the listed packages exist in AUR and I remember how nice it was to have AUR when I switched from Ubuntu to Arch. So no easy way except by hand, but I'm sure you can find them in a PPA or whatever.
You'd be way better off either ricing yourself, or at least skipping shit you know you won't need in that haphazard assortment of programs.

Did you do it on a separate partition of the same disk? MS even jews you on the way out. W**blows needs to be installed at the front of the disk, which means if you delete that partition later and want to merge that free space into an existing linux partition you need to move it to the front of the disk and then expand it, which takes forever because it shifts all the data around
W******s is a virus

very true, it's not wrong, it's just really gay

Same disk, but moving the data isn't too painfully slow on a SSD.

How can I install a different distribution but keep my existing home folder?

>copy folder somewhere
>install new distro
>move old folder back
be careful, though. Your home directory probably has a lot of distro-specific sfuff, which won't transfer smoothly.
Instead, I recommend moving by cherry-picking: at first copy only what you know you need and then copy anything else if need arises.
It's also a great opportunity to clean up your folder beforehand!

Yeah I figured as much. I'm going from ubuntu to manj so not much will be compatible. I wanted to avoid copying the 500gb of steam games

I like to put /home on a different partition, so for me it's just mounting it and done.

My on-board sound card has the chip improperly wired to audio jacks. As a result, front panel headphone jack doesn't work.
I can remap the jacks and channels in kernel to fix this, but I don't know which jack is the correct one.
Is there a way to list the current mapping of pins/channels/jacks?

i have 2 gpus one nvidia gt 730m and an intel in optimus. i follow the youtube tutorials for installing the drivers on debian xfce. I want to fix screen tearing but every time i open nvidia x server it tells me to run nvidia-xconfig as root and whenever I do that it bricks my computer to where all i see when i reboot is a black screen with a small flashing white line (cursor). Is there any way I can use x server without running nvidia-xconfig? any help would be appreciated.
im on a thinkpad t440p

what happened with systemdolt exactly?

Takes just as long as copying and I do need to be picky because of the difference between the distributions. I already copied like 150gb

Someone found an exploit in journald which is circumvented by the compiler in most distros, and it was patched like a day or so later.

Does anyone use mutt or noemutt?
How the hell do I change the default inbox folder? I have 3 "mailboxes" listed which are just imap addresses.
So for example, one of them is the folder "Sent". How would I make it so that when I first fire up neomutt it displays the Sent mailbox instead of the Inbox mailbox? Even if I remove "Inbox" from my list of mailboxes it still opens up "Inbox". It's like some built-in default or something. It feels dumb as fuck to always have to wait for it to contact the server asking for new mails in my Inbox when I already know there aren't any because I have filters set up to move things to other places, and then have to manually switch to the desired mailbox.
Can it not be changed?

Nevermind, I'm an idiot. Spent an hour searching and I just needed to attach a specific folder to the end of "spoolfile" all along.

Can anyone recommend Solus?
It looks pretty good, just getting into linux, mostly a W7 user

Any thoughts on Matrix? Tox is dead and I need a new secure and opensource IM to shitpost on.

Where I can find any info how to configure mksh shell?

I've been keeping an eye on it, but I still don't really know what to think yet.
The whole network seemed slow when I first started using it, or maybe it was just the immature clients, but it seems to have gotten significantly more responsive lately.
Some people seem to think it's the future for a lot of things, but the slowness it used to have makes me wonder if there's scaling issues or something. I really have no fucking clue though so take it with a grain of salt. I've tried looking for information/discussions on the speed of the protocol and network but I could never really find anything.

I love the concept though, so I hope it's truly viable long term. I mean, even if it just ends up being an IRC replacement I'd still like it much better, because it doesn't broadcast your IP and ISP to everyone, and it also means you are still technically receiving messages even when offline.
So you don't have to worry about those situations where you ask a question, then temporarily get disconnected and come back wondering if someone answered you or not.

Some of the clients also basically look and behave just like Discord too, including embedded media in the chat window, and we all know how popular discord is so there's definitely potential there. Plus it's federated.
They say matrix can even be used for live video and voice chats, but I'm a bit skeptical of that again due to the speed concerns I mentioned earlier. Although I suppose if smarter people than me think it can be used for live video streaming then perhaps my concerns are unwarranted.

I do think a lot of the clients are still shit though. It needs more development. The weechat plugin just eats up CPU, and others are missing features or seem buggy.
I'm most interested in the development of "gomuks" and the Emacs matrix client.

It's half dead. Just use Ubuntu Budgie.

Thanks. That's more info that I expected. I guess I'll give it a try.

The answer to what load average really means is "it's complicated". If you want a detailed explanation, including graphs, tests, and a dive into some Linux archaeology, read this:

It doesn't support much in the way of configuration.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux,
is in fact, Communism/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Communism plus Linux.
Linux is not a political ideology unto itself, but rather another free component
of a fully functioning Communist system made useful by the Communist manifesto, shell
utilities and vital system components comprising a full political system as defined by Karl Marx.

Many computer users run a modified version of the Communist system every day,
without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of Communism
which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are
not aware that it is basically the Communist system, developed by the Marxism Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a
part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system
that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run.
The kernel is an essential part of a political ideology, but useless by itself;
it can only function in the context of a complete political ideology. Linux is
normally used in combination with the Communist political ideology: the whole system
is basically Communism with Linux added, or Communism/Linux. All the so-called "Linux"
distributions are really distributions of Communism/Linux.

Probably a dumb question:
What's the easiest way to replace a distro with another?
I want to replace Mint with Debian. Baring in mind that my partitions are split between home and root, how difficult would it be to replace/remove Mint?
It was hard enough learning the UEFI shit to install it.

Can't see its niche, and IBM buying RedHat for a lot of money is a huge uncertainty. They might get desperate to earn it all back quickly, US boom or bust management...

No thanks. I still have my freedoms so I'll just switch to a less cancerous distro. Debian was a great system once, but not anymore. SAD!

Pretty easy imho, just point installer where the old root was and it will rewrite it.

Well I didn't answer because I think you asked this question before and I guess you weren't satisfied with my answer for some reason.
But all you do is overwrite it. There's nothing special about it.
