I've been thinking for a while to roll on void linux. Heard runit is damn good and all. But I'm used for ubuntu and its large repos full of soft. I use specific programs like metasploit, macchanger, etc shity hacker shit. Plus I'm not shure if void has diriver for my laptop video card. So what do think, user, shall I change my os?

Say them if he'd do it again, you'll hack him.

That's not entirely what I'm asking. I know that Ubuntu's GNOME is shitter than the real version, what I'm asking is if the LTS version is significantly more shit than the up to date version. For all I know, the up to date version could be exactly the same as the LTS one.

It's still more effort than updating from LTS to mainline.

come enter the void, i have no idea where the meme originated that void lacks packages but i can't confirm this. they may run under other names, go check it on their website, under packages.

Well apart from your assumptions, from what I've read/heard, canonical is pushing things to upstream gnome, apart from the themes/icons, don't think they significantly change what is on the image for the LTS.
You could go ask the irc and you may get a better answer there.

What are some cool terminal commands?

What's my best option if I need a few non-game .NET windows programs to run flawlessly? I'm looking for something that stable that requires minimal fussing around i.e not vanilla Arch, but more lightweight than *buntu style baby's first distro because I have a bit of experience. I used a live version of Debian stable for a few hours and it was mostly good except its repo lacks some wine related packages needed for .NET support. Is Manjaro a good option?

I like convert, ffmpeg, and sudo.

Please just tell me if I am doing this right or not

I bought a used computer and I want to duel boot win10 and debian. I used ubuntu on my old PC so I have some experience installing linux, but I'm still a n00b. What I want to do now is move windows to an ssd I just bought, using the "windows media installion tool" to wipe everything on my HDD and just use it for storage and (re-)install windows on the SSD, I don't know if that will mess up the windows licensing but I'll write down my product key before I do anything

after I get that done, I just go to install linux like normal, but put the "/boot" and "/" (and maybe SWAP haven't decided) in the SSD and everything else in a partition in the HDD, right? I'll probably just split the HDD in half, 1TB for each operating system

How do i force llvm to compile external source directory?
It is not compiling when i do
-DLLVM_EXTERNAL_DIR_SOURCE_DIR=dir

Or when i use
-DLLVM_EXTERNAL_CLANG_SOURCE_DIR:DIR=clang

>witch is quite fuckd up on old laptop.
how old are we talking?
and why is that fucked?

>witch is quite fuckd up on old laptop
I run gentoo on a dualcore T400. Some other guy runs gentoo on a 1.6GHz T60 with 2GB RAM. Step up nigga.

I've no money for better. But it's ok if I use ubuntu minimal with i3 just for browsing and staff.
Can't say I've grown up enough for a gentoo.

Here is a long one I recently made to do fsck on all superblocks on an EXT partition (there might be a better way to do this):

for superblock in $(dumpe2fs [PARTITION] | grep "superblock" | awk '{print $5}'); do e2fsck -vf -b $superblock [PARTITION]; done;

dd is an interesting one, too, but dangerous if you're careless with it

Here's a riddle.
Print -n using echo.

So, i know this is the most pointless feature, but its one of the few things i actually... liked about windows 10, The picture of the day login screen.

Anyone know of any plugins for... i suppose it'd be Gnome or Ubuntu that has something like this?

set wallpapers and login pics via "gsettings set" and put it into cron daily. literally one line bash script.

i ran into a similar feature once
$ bash -c "printf '- %s\n' cocks gaysex anime"
bash: line 0: printf: - : invalid option
printf: usage: printf [-v var] format [arguments]
$ dash -c "printf '- %s\n' cocks gaysex anime"
dash: 1: printf: Illegal option -
$ ksh -c "printf '- %s\n' cocks gaysex anime"
- cocks
- gaysex
- anime
$ /usr/bin/printf '- %s\n' cocks gaysex anime
- cocks
- gaysex
- anime
apparently you're supposed to use "printf -- '- %s\n'" instead

echo() { printf '%s\n' "$@"; }
echo -n

echo -e '\x2dn'

Anyone have an XPS they use Linux on

trololol

Use Ubuntu MATE.
ubuntu-mate.org/

Yeah -- also makes grep work correctly when grepping for '-stuff'.

reminder that -- is a GNU thing, portable stuff shouldn't rely on it

Seems to be my lucky day because I use GNU.

Imagemagick is glorious

Won't that require more effort than just upgrading my current version?

Yes, a XPS 15. It works great. The Arch wiki page was helpful too with setting things up.
wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dell_XPS_15_9560

I was looking at these, but concerned about the GPU and switching.

I disabled the Nvidia gpu, so I'm not much help there.

Poor linux-kun living in poor country cannot buy nice laptop. Yes, this is deffinetly like it looks like

Lately I have been getting the urge to install Gentoo again
I haven't used it in almost a year and a half now, but all my memories with it were positive
Last time I tried to install it again though (about 3 months ago) I got some "firmware didn't load" error I didn't understand and never got before.

I remember being surprised that googling your linux username on google images shows all your desktops you ever posted in Jow Forums desktop threads. Well I did it tonight, but none of my favorite desktops seem to have survived, can't find them anymore.

I don't know, maybe I will try to install again this weekend

>tfw can't install gentoo

I've set an icc profile in mpv but it dosent seem to change anything. Running it from cli dosent present any errors either
