Intended for users of all levels, including absolute beginners.
There are three ways to try Linux, you can:
1) Install a Linux OS on a VM (Virtual Machine/VirtualBox) for "safety purposes"
2) Use the Live ISO directly without installing anything, that way, you can get a "full Linux experience".
3) Go balls deep and overwrite everything with Linux (not recommended)
If you are serious about switching to Linux and if you have Windows dual-booted (recommended for pure newbies),
we recommend you use it exclusively for 2 weeks, and avoid Windows dual booting for that period of time, or it's
likely you will start retreating back to windows instead of getting used to GNU/Linux as your new home and working on
making it feel the way you want it.
>Recommended for beginners:
-Ubuntu MATE
-Debian (For Broadcom devices, use an ISO that includes non-free firmware)
-openSUSE
-LinuxMint /(Ubuntu LTS + Cinnamon)

I've finished backing up my files (video/photos/porn etc) and want to install openSUSE on my pc, I'm just wondering if I will have any trouble with permissions when viewing/accessing my files on openSUSE?
And the file system of an external I have is NTFS? Would that be an issue?
>>52055613
I like to have a lot of applications to handle many things.
>>52055629
ntfs doesn't have permissions.
Nothing is final anyway, change it if you do have problems.
>>52055635
congrats
>>52055648
ACL are not permissions?
>>52055648
The reason I ask about permissions is because my desktop HDD failed and after getting an enclosure for it I had some trouble deleting files/transferring.
Ok, then. Cannot wait to uninstall 8.1
One last questions. I have a few torrents that I will need to continue seeding, should I have any problem having the files checked by a different torrent program in openSUSE?

So, between cinnamon and mate, which one would you say is better?
>>52055833
You should put dates in the corner so copies can be compared
>>52055938
whatever floats your boat.
Your can install both of them and remove the one you like less
mate uses gtk2 which is outdated and basically in legacy support at moment
cinnamon uses gtk3 which is more recent.
If you're looking forward to wayland, cinnamon might be better since gtk2 won't support it
>>52055974
b-but he did
>>52055938

Earlier on, in another thread, an anon suggested xubuntu, if I wanted to get that what are the majority of the packages that I'd need to get for it and chuck on a usb hard drive before it could work.
Thanks for your help /g/
>>52057996
For Wayland or Vulkan?
Wayland sounds like a cool thing but it doesn't matter much to me if it dips, since X still works just fine. I'm much more interested in Vulkan
>>52057510
Wayland is an upgrade over X at least. Not really that huge of an upgrade for the end users the main benefit we regular people will see is fewer graphical problems and somewhat improved security. Developers will find wayland easier to use and integrate into their projects.
Vulkan only affects GCN and recent Nvidia hardware but it can improve their efficiency somewhat.
>>52058001
I personally think the AUR is bigger than debian's
>>52058035
>t what are the majority of the packages that I'd need to get for it and chuck on a usb hard drive
Install the packages you need after installation? Although with Core 2 Duo, I'd go with Arch with Xfce.
>>52058001
Dwarf Fortress is proprietary. Debian is a freedom-only distro by default.

>xubuntu
I actually think Lubuntu is much better for low powered systems.
>>52058099
>Although with Core 2 Duo, I'd go with Arch with Xfce.
I really wouldn't recommend Arch to a beginner. Just go for Xubuntu or Lubuntu
>>52058137
I thought it was going to be network free but after reading some of OP's image as long as I can usb tether to my phone I should be alright.
>>52058099
Arch with Xfce? Alright I'll pursue that a bit.
>>52058156
>xubuntu
>lubuntu
What are the differences?
Added name so people know I'm the same guy
>>52058180
One comes with Xfce and the other comes with lxdm (deprecated)
*ubuntu comes with some bloatware pre installed that may use system resources
>>52058180
Xubuntu is based on Ubuntu but comes with the Xfce desktop environment by default instead of Unity.
Lubuntu is based on Ubuntu but comes with the LXDE desktop environment by default instead of Unity.
>>52058196
lxde*
>>52058162

Also keep in mind that OP's picture is intended for intermediate users

Hey where do I find the installers or files rather for lubuntu/arch etc?
>>52058373
Lubuntu: http://lubuntu.net/tags/download
Arch:
Official ISO: https://www.archlinux.org/download/
(At least install using this iso for once in a virtual machine)
Easy mode installer: http://sourceforge.net/projects/architect-linux/
>>52058433
>once in a virtual machine
Right-o I'll try it on virtual box first
>Dumb question
If I only have 4 GB of ram available to the system should I go for an x86 version of lubuntu or arch, or should I go for the x64 versions regardless?
>>52058557
x64
>>52058557
x64
>>52058557
You should never ever use a 32-bit system if your hardware supports 64-bit systems
>>52058654
I have no idea if this will support 64-bit, I just bought this vista for 20 bucks from a thrift shop.
Friend is recommending "mint", thoughts?
>>52058557
64bit is somewhat faster, it gives you 64bit registers which helps with some calculations. 64bit makes ASLR more effective, the virtual address space is fuckhuge on 64bit which makes buffer overflows a lot harder to actually pull off when ASLR is enabled. 64bit uses slightly more hard disk space though and maybe memory as well.
>>52058742
Core 2 Duos are 64bit.
>>52058742
How familiar are you with GNU/Linux?
If not much, mint/*ubuntu is just fine. But ultimately most users move to Arch for a valid reason - Well structured wiki and large software repository
>>52058781
Absolutely not familiar at all, I just want to try it because I'm sick of the problems that windows has.
Side note I don't know what type of virtual box package to download to test out an iso of arch
>>52058742
>Core 2 is a brand encompassing a range of Intel's consumer 64-bit x86-64 single-, dual-, and quad-core microprocessors based on the Core microarchitecture.
This stuff isn't hard to look up, dude
And whatever, Mint is easy to set up. Either get that or some *buntu variant if you're new and don't want to spend too much time setting it up.
>>52058823

Haha welcome to /flt/
Since you are using linux for your desktop, here are my thoughts.
For desktops there are two kinds:
1. User centric: (Experienced users) : Arch
>Comes with close to nothing pre-instlled
>You have to install the things you need and that'll include "window, window themes, notepad, terminal, device drivers, browsers, Office suit, paint, media player" and so on.
>Very fast in terms of performance
2. Pre-built: (New users): Mint
>Comes with just about everything
>Easy to install
>Can be slow because there are some softwares that you may never end up using
I'd suggest you install Mint (Cinnamon); (4GB is the same as me, and I liked the performance). When you finally realize the advantages in using a terminal, move to Manjaro/Antergos and learn the difference between mint and the one you picked. At this point, you are pretty much an intermediate user. Then use Arch (or manjaro/antergos "base")

You have to get rid of the habit of downloading softwares from third party website and installing it. A linux user installs software packages from their distro's repository via a terminal.

What are the benefits of using a usb drive for linux? Curious.
>>52059773
Well you don't have to rewrite your usb for one.
Second, security since your files are not stored on your computer.
And thirdly it allows you to load your os in to ram, remove the usb, and continue to use it.
>>52059790
Bear in mind that I'm not an expert here, but, wouldn't that mean if you turned off your PC, you'd lose the os from the ram and have to do it again?
>>52059810
Yes, but it's helpful in case you accidentally umount/remove the drive.. But there is no practical reason the have something that isn't puppy/gparted/kali on a usb.

It depends on your hardware. Audio/Video production softwares are available on linux but am not too sure running them in such low specs is a very good idea.

Manjaro netinstall
Why do use Btrfs file system? Why is it superior to ext4?
There's not currently a BSD thread, with any significant number of posters in it, so I'll post it here.
Can I get League of Legends and steam running on OpenBSD, switch to FreeBSD, or am I just wasting my time with these obscure meme OS's and this isn't worth my while?
I want to use OpenBSD because muh security, but I'd be willing to move over to FreeBSD, which I hear is somewhat more secure than Linux, and supposedly runs better running Linux binaries than Linux does.
>>52061687
You don't want to play league of legends. not because it's bad or because the community is, but because it's bad for you anon.
>>52061724
I know it's bad for me, but I'm like a hair away from getting Gold and proving once and for all I'm better than my shitter friends who are all stuck in Silver, and after that I'm quitting forever, and I'll never need to come back because my friends are all fucking horrible.
>>52061572
>distrolet
At least we have better security you piece of shit incompetent dev
>>52061756
I used to play league, all my friend did as well, I was in silver4 because i never played ranked. What are you gaining from this man.. learn how to program, or read shit m8.
>>52061792
Lotta security
for a useless distro :^)
How's your installer going, one that manjaro devs helped you write :^)
>>52061845

what installer? Real men doesn't use any installer like a feminist.
>>52061868
>Implying the distrolet doesn't come with that piece of currynigger-shit installer.
Nice meme, antergos boi
>>52060646
this is what I've been doing on Arch for years
I don't even see the point of a graphical login manager to be honest.. it's just as easy to log in on the TTY and then all I have to do to start the xorg-server is type "startx".
>>52061886
>implying i ever used antergos
Delusional Manjaro user.
>>52061895
>Lying in an anonymous forum
I knew you are an antergos shill from the moment I saw you get triggered with the word "distrolet". Just man up and admit, pleb.
>>52061921
Nice try, dumbfuck.
>>52061966
Good thing you can't fake that.
>>52061966
>He finally installed Arch

ehehehee :^)))
>>52061687
You could probably get it to run on FreeBSD. I don't think it will work on OpenBSD
>>52061989
>implying i didn't jump start to Arch from Debian
At lest I can back up my statements, unlike you.
>>52061966
Hello, Morpheus.
>>52062017
Bt debian, you don't really mean mint, right?
>>52060528
That's kind of a one-sided way of looking at things. Getting updates faster may get you security fixes sooner, but it also makes you more vulnerable to security issues introduced in any given update.
>>52062032
How do you know?
>>52062047
And it becomes a loop, an issue > security fixes > another security issue > another security fixes > goto an issue
>>52062063
And catalyst users end up with breaking X-org in the loop

KEK I need to take brake from faggotry linux thread
Are there any big differences (other than pre-loaded security tools) between using Debian and TAILS as a distro for every day tasks?
Or is TAILS intended for occasional use? RMS doesn't seem to endorse it.
>>52062130
you basically proved his point m8
>>52062170
What point, sir?
>>52062147
Tails is to be used as a live distro. Use debian with dm-crypt and LUKS
>linux friendly thread
more like linux fight thread
What are some distros like elementaryos that look nice and have a good set of tools preinstalled?

You mean bloated and pre-riced? *buntu/mint, opensuse, bunsenlabs(not really bloated), manjaro.
I'm at stage 6.4 of lfs and when i try to chroot into my lfs environment i get/tools/bin/env: /tools/bin/bash: No such file or directory
My $LFS is set to where it's mounted..
>>52062260
ill be honest. i dont think anyone here has ever done linuxfromscratch
>>52062292
I am! and i figure it out, i just recompiled bash and remade env as root.. pic related!
Is there a way to change root's login name?
I'm using PlayOnLinux for the first time. Can I just add a folder for a game from my Windows installs?
I don't want to reinstall everything if just running the .exe works perfectly well on Windows.
How do I make a Linux distro?
>>52062439
We've got enough
>>52062439

Screenfetch or fake.
Is there a way to fix the audio output hogging issue in ALSA? I wanna play my gaems, but also listen to music at the same time. But I can't because something is dumb.
>>52063059
That's what PulseAudio are for.
>>52063109
Yeah, I know. How do I force a game to use it, though?
So I just installed lxle on my netbook. Everything seems to work fine except the battery gauge. It´s an Acer 522 with AMD C60 brazos.
Any idea whats wrong?
>>52063137
Wait, since you have PulseAudio, shouldn't it be ALSA <- PulseAudio <- Apps&Games?
Try to install pavucontrol and see if you can control per-app settings there.
>>52063188
This is how the output fromfuser-v /dev/snd*looks like when a program uses pulse:USER PID ACCESS COMMAND
/dev/snd/controlC0: bus 1183 F.... pulseaudio
/dev/snd/controlC1: bus 1183 F.... pulseaudio
/dev/snd/pcmC0D0p: bus 1183 F...m pulseaudio
And this is how it looks when it goes straight to ALSA for some reason:USER PID ACCESS COMMAND
/dev/snd/controlC0: bus 1183 F.... pulseaudio
/dev/snd/controlC1: bus 1183 F.... pulseaudio
/dev/snd/pcmC0D0p: bus 12412 F...m Cities.x641
So it doesn't seem to follow your little diagram.
Pavucontrol segfaults right when I launch it. Hilarious.
>>52063244
Terminal output, pavucontrol.
>>52063267
It segfaults, what else do you want?
>>52063278
Just SEGFAULT without any info?
>>52063280
Yes.
>>52062634
Tell me a better one with the same features.

>>52063290
Well, what distro are you on?
And by any chance, are you trying to play a Paradox game?
>>52063378
Arch.
And, indeed, Cities: Skylines that I'm trying to play is a Paradox-published game. But they're not the only ones guilty of this issue.
>>52063391
Is this only occur on Cities Skylines or any other game?
>>52063405
>But they're not the only ones guilty of this issue.
Do I really need to explain this sentence?
Some other examples: Factorio, Grow Home, Prison Architect, and many more.
>>52063421
Then either Steam, the games, or PulseAudio is the issue. Weird, since it works here.
>>52063451
Post your alsa/pulse configs then. I tried several different configs I found online, both with and without dmix. It was still broken.
>>52063480
Default configurations. I just dopacman -S pulseaudio-alsa pulseaudio lib32-libpulse lib32-alsa-plugins alsa-plugins
And I'm good to go.
Anyone know how do i fix my fonts? All looks like pic related.
>>52063613
Install the infinality package?
>>52063560
I think I found the issue. When I start Grow Home via Steam, it goes to ALSA.
But when I start directly Grow Home's executable, it goes to pulse and I have no issues with audio.
At least now I have something to blame. No idea how to fix it, though.
>>52063613
Set hinting to full and use another font. Dejavu sans is good for system and inconsolata for terminal
