/fglt/ - Friendly GNU/Linux Thread

oh nice I guess ill try it then
I can't stand those insufferable autists ruining my distro's reputation

Vulkan is not supported on my gpu

Now this is a thread I can get behind
I see my endless campaign of shilling is finally paying off

>proprietary software support
what does "support" mean? The Nix community definitely does not support it and releases their own programs under GPL licenses. They may have something that's not strictly libre in their repositories, but it doesn't mean they support proprietary software.

huh? I though it was my campaign.

Whatever makes you sleep at night bro.

Whatever makes you sleep at night bro.

if this replaces 'install gentoo', you've done more harm than good.

Try some other profiles then. Or look up some options that seem like they might be hardware related.

I highly doubt anyone in this thread just has a comprehensive knowledge of random dmesg output like
>NVRM: Xid (PCI:0000:05:00)
All we could do is just start doing web searches, same as you.

I know, you're me
You know how you pass out a lot? I just come up in your place and shill even more. Were two twins stuck on the same body

>it doesn't mean they support proprietary software
it does as far as the FSM is concerned. there is less incentive to develop free software if people can use the proprietary alternatives.

I prefer Guixspamming though

If you put something into your repo, you recommend it to the community as legitimate-to-install. If it's proprietary, you recommend proprietary software. If you give proprietary software such a platform, you support proprietary software.

in what way exactly does Nix support proprietary software?

this means 999 out of 1000 GNU/Linux distros support proprietary software. Including Gentoo.

I dont even state a vo i just let mpv autodetect.
But it seems vo=gpu would be supported on my gpu. But setting it ann loading any video produces the same error influx of errors
>same as you
Im literally on page 34 on google and its just generic "oh no something happened but we didnt document it LOL" type answers

Correct.

But if you ask them directly, they will tell you they don't support proprietary software.

Even though both gentoo and nixos are opt in whzb it comes to proprietary? As in you have to write something in a config that isnt even promoted in the manual? The option to allow unfree is literally hidden in both cases
This is why I hate FSF people
>Just use our distros lol we just forked the other one and changed the repos

it depends what you mean by support.
if they mean they think it is fine and uphold it, probably not.
if you mean "allow the user to install", then yes.

Guys, I just can't use Debian out of principle, I mean, look at this shit debian.org/intro/diversity

what other distro that is stable should I use?

...

what do you want out of your distro?

>if you mean "allow the user to install", then yes.
Libre distros also allow users to install whatever they want.

you're right, I more meant "provide in repositories", where that applies

I'm in the process of desktopizing my laptop which obviously includes an external keyboard.

Just looking for suggestions on which keys I should re-bind the volume up & down function keys I'm now missing out on

Get out faggot

I don't know. This is the best I can do for you
ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1163786&p=7841752#post7841752
it seems hardware related. Good luck.

CentOS for business
Void for personal.

stability, and I can't believe I am saying it, but I don't want to use a distro where the people in power say shit like "meritocracy doesn't matter" and are far leftist identitarians.

do you need dedicated keys? I use ctrl + and

apparently Jow Forums doesn't like the characters I used to represent the up and down arrow keys, insert them where appropriate

I suppose I can live without them, but it's still nice to have a 1 to 1 replacement since I don't plan on plugging in speakers that have an actual knob to turn

This is actually why I like the FSF. Sources you can trust become rare, but you can always trust FSF and GNU. That's why I settled with IceCat for example. I can be sure that it's 100% free.
I don't know why you would hate them, considered all the work they do for software freedom. Regarding GNU/Linux distributions they endorse, "no proprietary software“ is an easy rule to understand, don't forget it is the "Free Software" Foundation.

Already got that open lol
It came out of no where, i have already cleaned off the gpu and reseated it before i posted that post

The kernel is still non-free. That's why.
Linux (the kernel) has proprietary blobs in it.
Maybe if they used Linux-Libre then it'd be different.

NixOS has the best repository of all Unix-like OSes.

>lets collect literally every little shit and call it a feature

What is an ez way to image a laptop drive and run it in a vm with my desktop for example.
I want to try XFCE4 before installing on lappy

the cryptocurrency community is behind Nix

no one calls it a feature, it simply exists.

>as far as the FSM is concerned
What does the Flying Spaghetti Monster have to do with this?

sed -i 's/ACCEPT_LICENSE=.*/ACCEPT_LICENSE="-* @FREE" /' make.conf

vrms -s | sudo apt purge

I wished all distros could filter by license.

Will Arch ever break if you just install and upgrade packages (not from the AUR)?

Did something change when Windows 10 was released?

Didn’t see the new thread

It's actually just MINIX. mail.coreboot.org/pipermail/coreboot/2017-April/084080.html

Delete Windows. It's malware.

Probably because they're free from "dependency hell", allowing them to spend more time just adding new packages instead of fixing old ones.

>0x0.st dead
>ptpb.pw dead
Dude, what service should i use they doesn't go away? What pastebin do you use?

It's not likely. And if it does there will be instructions on the Arch homepage on how to fix it (usually just involves editing a simgle config file). The best way is to subscribe to the arch-announce mailing list and check it before updating.

I’m trying to but it won’t let me

surprisingly, FreeBSD's Ports is the closest contender.

With my latest installation of xbuntu my terminal behavior has changed where it now instantly enters anything that I paste into a terminal window without me pressing enter. How do I change this?
So currently I right click and select paste in a terminal and it pastes and then immediately executes the command.
I want to paste into the terminal and then have nothing happen untill I press enter in case I need to add some other parameter or whatever.

get me in the screenshot for reddit

it's the year of Hurd

I have no idea what that is exactly so no
Im that guy that always gets on stuff as soon as they start to get mainstream. My intrest is an omen for a good future

>image
Nope?
Im just installing XFCE4 then if it runs well cool

honestly, I'd gladly move to Nix/Hurd if it existed, and would forget about the Linux hellhole as soon as possible

Is it significantly different from Gentoo? When I think ports I basically just think Gentoo's portage.

>My intrest is an omen for a good future
then get interested in hurd faggot

ok hurdpill me bud

As you can see, it yields much better results for some reason. They're supposed to be quite similar technically, yet when you use them as desktop systems, FreeBSD tends to be a package-oriented os, whereas Gentoo's still more source-oriented, I think many Gentoo users simply don't care about its package repository.

a truism: Hurd is like Linux but better.

cd /port_directory/
make install clean

It downloads the source and compiles it, with about an 80% success rate for the programs I attempted when I was on FreeBSD, this was a couple years ago so maybe it is better now. Some of the programs I use were written with Linux in mind so they don't work well/at all on FreeBSD without significant patches.

I don't know a lot about it but it sounds like it would return us back to the golden "everything is a file" standard which Linux has been moving away from more and more over the years.
I've also heard it's very Plan9 like.

>which Linux has been moving away from more and more over the years.
Care to explain?

what is that v?

how so?

It will only 'Enter' when you paste the newline with it.

it's GUIX

why so I came from a V

Videogames!

Actually now that I think about it most of my complaints would be toward software and aren't actually kernel specific.
However, this is the sort of thing I was referring to
informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=1180992&seqNum=3

So perhaps Linux didn't "move away" from it, rather they just didn't implement it as deeply as Unix or Plan9.

>GUIX
okay why is the logo a fucking v? I guess they did not consult Jow Forums before committing gnuicide

Both will lose because Fedora Silverblue already exists.

more like female genitalia

It's horns and you already know that.
Try harder faggot
