You didn't read what I wrote.
Apolitical means not contributing to the political discourse, even if fapping while you sit on a dildo is "political" it keeps being totally irrelevant to the political discourse.

Also "everything is political" is something which exclusively is the result of a democratic society, because if you have no power over the government you can not actually be a part of the discourse.

> Politics is an instrument that allows you to take part on decitions regarding what's right and what's wrong, i.e. being free to fap sitting on a dildo or going into jail for doing so.
No, politics IN A DEMOCRACY.

>Don't be a fool; everything is political.
But not everything contributes to the political discourse that happens in a democracy.
And I refuse to be part of that discourse, and not because I do not have answers to "what is right and wrong" or actually care about party politics.

>living in a non democratic shithole
Time to take part at politics.

>>living in a non democratic shithole
???
Who said that, of course I live in a democracy, I just refuse to take part in the democratic discourse.

Being silent on things is a political statement as well.

>Being silent on things is a political statement as well.
I didn't say that I was not political, just that I refuse to take part in the democratic discourse.

What is the best distro ever that everyone should use because it does everything right?

The one I am using. (Arch)

Guix

Run gcc:

printf 'main(t){for(;++t

Linux was a mistake.

what are some reasons to use zsh instead of bash? /t/unixporn seems to prefer it

I want to change the screen rersolution in VirtualBox to 1920x1080, but i get this error, what I should to do?

install qemu

so i installed gentoo today and i installed xorg i3gaps and so on but i cant get nitrogen to display any image even in preview help me what should i do to make it work

it's not the regular shell, which makes it more relevant to a group solely dedicated to customization

Use feh to set background

>unixporn
A colored PS1 without reading manuals and running PS1='sonething'. That's basically it. That said, zsh is a nice shell, it has many features built in that you'd usually get via third party tools, but that makes it pretty bloated as well. The only reason to use zsh may be the better autocomplete, but then again, there's fish which does it even better, but it has its own downsides. As with all things, just try and see what's your cup of tea.

I use feh for years for the single sole purpose of setting my wallpaper. I wonder when this inanity will ever end.

zsh has some nice themes available with Oh My Zsh, I personally like the Agnoster theme. I run it with prompt_context(){} and DEFAULT_USER="myuser" so it doesn't show the username and hostname on my machine, but i turn those options off on my server so it shows the username and hostname there. Really nice powerline type theme.

Installed, rebooted and get the same error.

>feh
Feh doesn't work: "No Imlib2 for that file format". Imlib2 installed, btw. File format: jpg.

install gentoo

Already done.

It plays twinkle little star. It's harmless and beautiful. Run it already!!!

reinstall gentoo

It doesnt make any sense.

What are some cool terminal commands?

it's cute

Is there a way to have mpv be opened in like a virtual xephyr instance and have the videos be automatically scalled and resized to fit the virtual workspace area?, similar to a tiling wm functionality? But just a single window
I tried pytyle but it just refused to work

whoopsie
meant to quote

:3

You have to install the virtualbox guest agent on the guest.
Should be a package in the repos.

feh --bg-fill source.unsplash.com/random/1366x768

Idk something is fucky with your installation. What profile are you on eselect profile list

default/Linux/x86/17.0 (stable)

It's installed yet, from cdrom.

How can I upgrade from Debian oldstable to stable without breaking my shit? Is it possible?

old stable is nothing. just stick to it till old old stable. good software takes a while just like good whiskey.

I see. But would you tell me how to do it, anyway? Because I'll have to upgrade when it reaches oldoldstable and I really don't want to lose my shit when the time comes.

i guess you just change the repos in your sources list and upgrade, that should work step by step up to unstable
you can do a dry run using apt -s to see what would happen without -s

Is your machine really 32 bit?lscpu
If so I'd imagine you know what you're doing. If not, then oof

who let the boomers in? reeeeeeee

>Is your machine really 32 bit?
Ofc.

>he doesn't know about the coolest command "arch"

Proof, btw.

laughed out loud

Do I really need to install the garbage that is KDE in order to have a file picker with thumbnails?
So many new DEs getting shat out every month and not a single one to fix the gnomeshit fileshitter.

Which one was the new DE this month?

The ``Hipster Onions Slick OSX Clone Failure #457'' DE

Any idea on troubleshooting davinci resolve not starting on arch?
ldd /opt/resolve/bin/resolve
shows everything is installed, no dependencies missing. The output log looks fine as well

Did it run before on your machine or is this your first time using it?
A bit of a dumb question but do you have adequate hardware in terms of OpenCL support and all that

it used to run fine. I used pacman -Syu recently so idk, I cant see anything thats broken. hardwares fine, 1060 6gb, ryzen 1700, 16gb, etc

Why can't we just use something like nnn as a filepicker? What would it take to implement it?

literal retard here
>just switched over to Linux for the first time
>have no idea how to add more HDD space to the /root partition
MX Linux if relevant.
If I need to reinstall to fix this I'll do it but was hoping there was something I could do in Gparted.

What are you trying to say?

Well I'm lost then honestly
I'm more of a newbie and haven't actually used DaVinci precisely because my hardware can't handle it.

Though given that you're a video fella, I got an unrelated question for you.
Back on Windows I used an Apple ProRes workflow along with Lightworks as my editor of choice to get decent performance on my low powered laptop.

I've since switched to Debian where due to reasons I'm unable to install Lightworks and have settled for kdenlive.
Now kdenlive has a neat built in transcode button that runs the video through ffmpeg & has presets for DNxHD.
There are ways to add ProRes to the preset table but really, is it worth the hassle? Should I just adopt DNxHD, it's more or less the same thing right?

He's trying to say that Gnome, Gnome devs, and Open Soars in general, is SHIT.

i only shoot raw so idk about prores. dnxhd is very good, its useful for clients.

What are you in this thread then?

Best distro to use as daily driver?

I'm not a tech wizard (have been using linux only for a few months) but it sounds like a task any GUI partition manager can easily tackle.

there's no right answer to this question as everyone itt will shill his own favorite distro to you but I like Kubuntu very much

You should only use the certified daily driver distros. Don't use other distros. They just aren't made for this purpose.

GNU/Linux*

this, if you go to the official website and don't see the Durgasoft seal of approval anywhere just forget about it

Don't have any decent way of recording raw and my computer just dies if I throw interframe h.264 at it so I'm settled in with an intermediate codec workflow.
It's cozy anyway.

In theory I could get raw out of my dslr if I installed magic lantern but at a reduced resolution
But I do little to no video editing or recording anyways, it's mostly just playing around for the sake of learning stuff since it connects with uni

Linux*

I'm here to "ask questions about GNU/Linux and share my experiences." just like the OP says.

Clang > GCC

>/root
First off that is not the system mount point, /root is the special private home mount point for the root user, that is protected
You mean /
When people say "the root parition" they mean "/" not "/root"

Install gparted and follow the wizard

yes you can use gparted[live CD], since you can't have root mounted. honestly i have never tried it cause it doesn't support resizing encrypted root partions

GNU/Linux*

>login in automatically on boot
is this a security concern? i have my disk encrypted with the same password as my login, so i figured i'd enable it so i dont have to enter my password twice on boot

Name one reason why you need sudo for mounting a drive (or really anything at all), but don't need it for rm -rf your ~.

The whole permission system is a gigantic joke.

take the KDEpill

>but don't need it for rm -rf your ~
Nah, you're the joke.

The user owns ~
The user does not own the system device in /dev/

I am the fuckin user. I own fuckin drive.

You are the user, you are not root
