No. I don't want to support GTK niggers at all

What's the best way to instal zsh? Previously used bash, but just uninstalled it because of certain facts about its creator.

there are oh-my-xx for every relatively popular shell, what's your point?

just install zsh from whatever package manager you're using and check out oh-my-zsh, ignore this retard

Thanks. I can't believe I've been using such an inferior shell up until now.

And never come back.

Linus hasent contributed code in a decade. The people that are funded by microsoft are the ones doing the coding. And seeing how the foundation will push linus out when ever he does "bad things", linus has no say in Linux anymore.
He can not approve a patchset but then he will be on "administrative leave" again and the microsoft drones will pull the patchset in while he is gone.
It's over

Linus is actually not even the man anymore. Linux is now Gregs game.

bait quality so low not even worth an image, but have a (you), so you get your kick and hopefully fuck off

latest lts kernel is 4.19, what version will be the next lts?

how do they decide that?

i use loksh because it takes one tab press to show completions for an ambiguous filename instead of two like in bash
>you can configure it
yeah but i shouldn't have to

which kernel?

retard, do you switch distros too because you dislike your ps1

so I installed KDE and removed gnome but the desktop still looks the same. for some reason the theme wo t change, even when I go into settings. what the fuck do I do? I want things to look like a cool kids computer

linux, of course

Okay, I have ignored

I hope you feel bad for posting.

That's not Descartes. Is this image trying to be cool and self-referential or something? Is it just "pretending" to be retarded?

I'm in heaven. Don't. Stop. It. Now.

Linus only made the kernel.

What about him? Who even is the creator?

>kernel
i.e., the only thing that matters and stays consistent across all distros of Linux. Maybe the creator of GNU is a jew, but GNU is just a collection of some obscure software literally no serious person uses today.

I said DONT STOP IT NOW
FUCKING asshole

I'm out. This thread is nothing but a bad meme at this point. Help yourselves and goodbye.

Look up "Brain Fox". That should be enough to make you want to uninstall it immediately. Check with your distro first though, some distros don't support fully purifying your shell.

Wewlad.
I just did a quick search, looks like he's just some random american dude, prolly cause he's black or something.
The Heinrich was just a fitting mascot for what I was suspecting, calm your breasts and untangle your underwear.

Kek, so you weren't memeing? What's the matter, it's not like every black dude is your enemy, even if you care about "the white race" or whatever.

Yeah, he's just an African American fellow. Why someone would want to immediately purge bash from their system to never use it again in their life is beyond me. I mean, seriously, who would ever do that?

That's an image of Voltaire.

I don't play well with irony, if that's what's going on right now.
Why are you removing it, I'm legitimately interested since I (albeit as beginner) have found it okay in practice, it does what I want.
Is it slow or what?

which poves him right

>Why are you removing it
Not him, but personally I removed it right when I found out what found out.

So because he's black?
No one has answered me up front, I want to know if there is a Jow Forums-autism reason to remove bash or if it's Jow Forumsitical?

personally, I use csh

kde? xfce? how about you try something a bit more original, and install Window Maker or Motif?

You don't get it right? The best is the one I am using. Your shit will always be inferior to mine.

fun fact: zsh is a shortened form of "Zhong Shao"

not true, because I never use stuff I recommend here

>Look up "Brain Fox". That should be enough to make you want to uninstall it immediately.
Why? Are you ok?

Any thing licensed under GNU GPL can be considered a part of GNU, its name is here for a reason. GPL is a license for/of the GNU operating system.

While he's wrong. You.re wrong as well.

you think >GPL is a license for/of the GNU operating system.
not true?

Good, ohmyzsh is disgusting bloat.

someone uses clang instead of gcc here?

The difference between an amateur and a professional is you write your own compiler.

GNU's gotta get rid of Linux kernel altogether, and make GNU system work with Hurd.

>Zhong Shao
Cool, seems like a fine Japanese gentleman.

This. It should fuck off to its own containment toy OS and stop making Linux objectively worse.

I can smell this guy thru da screen, is that a FSF tech?

FUCK (((GNU)))
FUCK (((STALLMAN)))
FUCK (((FREE SOFTWARE)))

>smell this guy thru da screen
No, that's proprietary Google tech. You can easily tell, as hobbyists haven't advanced to that level yet.

What does your post have to do with GNU/Linux, or even Jow Forums stuff in general? Oven technology is best discussed at .

I was expecting it to be some historical pedophile but he's just a fat black dude. Do you not like the darkies user? I mean, I'm a little racist, sure, but it's not like I'm going to go out of my way to avoid a coon.

You know, as in "from Japan". The country that the US commited major warcrimes against by dropping two nukes on it.

I had to postpone my meetings

Well, guess what game I'm never playing again.

Bad thread.

You know, the minor country that attacked Pearl Harbor. It also invented technology like picrelated.

there's no such thing as "free software", every choice someone made involved tradeoffs whether you realize it or not its just free to you, society paid for that software, and society had to give something else up in return in order for you to get it for free.

xdlmao nice meme
but seriously tho the latest kde has a few major fuck ups and I had to downgrade the whole thing to six days ago
so has this happened to anyone else and also be careful with upgrading to 5.16.0

free as in freedom m8
not as in free beer

Could anyone help with this?

>The character first appeared on Chance and Community Chest cards in U.S. editions of Monopoly in 1936. The identity of the designer of the character, artist Dan Fox, was unknown until 2013, when a former Parker Brothers executive, Philip Orbanes, was contacted by one of Fox's grandchildren.

you're never playing any game since Linux has no games.

works fine to me, also thanks for the cool theme
what's your kde version, gpu and screen resolution
have you seen this thread: forum.manjaro.org/t/kde-plasma-title-bar-decorator-issue/43569/8

Good thing I don't run a shitty hobbyist toy OS then.

this is the worst fglt thread ever
