If you are serious about switching to Linux, use it exclusively for 2 weeks.
Avoid booting to windows for that period of time, or you are likely to start retreating back to it instead of getting used to linux as your new home and working on making it feel comfortable
You can safely experience installation process and the basic usage through a virtual machine

- = is correct for [ tests, == for [[ tests.
- $[] is depricated, use $(()).
- Don't use $ insude $(( )).
- There's no need for a trailing ;.
- Since you don't want to expand any variables, use single quotes for echo (add a ! to see why).
Correct code:[ $((RANDOM%6)) = 0 ] && echo rm -rf / || echo 'Lucky boy.'

What should I install as a replacement for Windows 7? I currently use it for web browsing, programming and games.
>>52915070

and keep dualboot windows for games
>>52915081
I'm not a beginner, I regularly use Linux on servers, just never as a desktop OS before. I really don't want to keep Windows since it looks like a lot of games have Linux support now. Does Gentoo work well on desktops?

Whoops forgot the remove the echo. Well.
/g/ents, we should boycot shitty apps guy threads. It only needs some solidarity. Don't posts in his threads and create a correct one instead.
So I'm planning on reinstalling Ubuntu, cause my current install is just fucked. I also dual boot Windows 10. How should I go about deleting everything on the Ubuntu partition and reinstalling the OS?
Do I boot from USB, install Ubuntu to the partition that Ubuntu is already on, and just tell it to format it?
I don't want to fuck up the bootloader so my computer doesn't boot to Windows or anything.
>>52915146
Explain why?
>>52915170
Why do you keep Windows on your computer?
Remove Windows, it's malware.

yeah i agree, ubuntu is a meme. it's good for new users who are to retarded to change sources.list.
anyone know a decent distro that uses XFCE and version 4.* of the kernel out of the 'box'?
>>52915339
I'll try it out then, thanks.
>>52915673
But as a new user ubuntu is easy to get into and there's plenty of hand holding forums etc.
Stallman talking about amazon, which can be uninstaled and is demonstrated being switched off in his own video seems a poor reason not to at least try a new os.
I doubt cannonical will be 'taught a lesson' if I try another OS. To the new linux user it's hard to make the transition without a middle ground os that at least makes some sense.
Wouldn't a better lesson just be to turn the data off, decide not to buy anything from amazon (i.e. you can't buy me) and continue to learn a new system paid for by those people.
>>52915683
https://sourceforge.net/projects/manjarolinux/files/release/15.12/xfce/
>>52915703
debian stretch again, it uses 4.3.3-7 and you can choose xfce during install.
>>52915727
ubuntu is a meme because it's a *based on distro that doesn't have a lot of difference to the distro it's based on.
Pros / cons of using a display manager?
I read somewhere on the wiki that /g/ generally doesn't use one.
The major advantage I see atm is being able to easily switch DE.
>>52915727
When you need to turn off things first to use your operating system, you're already back at Microsoft.
>>52915070
Windows 10.
Linux is a meme.
>>52915739
no display manager is generally faster and makes you look like a h4xx0r but other than that DMs are nice to have.
What even is a DE? Desktop and file explorer etc?
>>52915742
This is the kind of thing I'm talking about.
So because you click on the amazon icon and uninstall,then flick a switch it's the same as windows? What about if you use the terminal to uninstall and learn a piece of code that you'll use going forwards?
Or is there a way in which other distros are actually superior apart from this?
>>52915771
Pretty much. A file manager and a window manager and a network manager and a settings manager and other handy stuff.
>>52915710
>nautilus
Oh the guys that remove basic functionality like being able to see how much space is left on a drive due to the fact that most distros ship with a drive scanning utility that can take an hour to give you that information.
[spoiler]nemo master race[/spoiler]
>>52915771
a window manager, GUI for settings, a file manager, a compositor, a network manager, a panel, a terminal emulator, some kind of menu...
>>52915758
If I were to abandon my display manager, how would I go by changing between i3 and gnome?
Have a bash script change my .xinitrc or something like that?
I get this when I try to run any source game on the linux steam clientPROBLEM: You appear to have OpenGL 0.0.0, but we need at least 2.0.0!

so what distinguishes CentOS and RHEL from Debian-based distros like Mint or *ubuntu, apart from the package manager?

I'm about to kill myself with the stuttering.
I thought it was only video related but Clementine sometimes stutters as well. Videos on mpv or YouTube stutter, but it's not that frequently. I have no idea what's going on since the desktop is running almost the same Debian from the laptop(testing on the former, sid on the latter). The only difference is that the desktop is using a 970 with Nvidia's proprietary drivers(latest long lived branch) and the CPU is overclocked. I thought it was alsa conflicting with pulse, but that's not the case. Should I try nouveau again to see if that's the case? Fuck.

there's two options for ntfs on linux
1. the in-kernel driver, this is read-only by default, write support is experimental (last i checked)
2. ntfs-3g, a FUSE driver, runs in user-space so it's not as fast as native kernel-mode drivers, but it has solid write support, use this if you need write support

1. because linux has incredibly small market share on PCs theres really no incentive for hackers to waste their time making malware for it
2. because software on his linux comes from pre-defined places - repositories, not just some random exe downloaded from the internet and then run
3. explain that he did not really need antivirus on windows if he was not retarded. The point is that he can do very little on linux, so he cant fuck up shit
>>52920931
this makes very little sense and is just some unnecessary lying
clamav is for scanning shit against windows malware
something you have on your server to check mail attachments for example..
>>52920975
>1. because linux has incredibly small market share on PCs theres really no incentive for hackers to waste their time making malware for it
also to add to that, even that small tiny marketshare is fractioned between ubuntu, mint, fedora, opensuse, arch, debian,.. and dozens of others distros, so its even fucking worse to deploy something for most of the linux world

It duplicates functions of Windows by providing alternative implementations of the DLLs that Windows programs call,[4] and a process to substitute for the Windows NT kernel.

Please wait until I complete the list and serve it on a pastebin.
You maybe won't use it, but maybe someone from those other wikis may, and may incorporate in their lists.
Thank you.

This website triggers me every time. It's actually /g/'s list of resources, #rice just expanded it for winblows and mac.
>>52923528
Just collect everything linked into your list, check if stuff isn't dead stuff and make an infographic.
what are some good resources for being a cool linux command guy that knows many cool linux things?
>>52923573
Was thinking of something like it, but someone made a critic against infographs on some threads (forgetting /g/'s guide to OS).
Also, even when I restrict the tools to one or two but of quality, is a lot.
Also, been thinking on contributing to the wikis, but I fear trolling. So first I check what people like and then I might put it on installgentoo, which seems more open to submissions.
>>52921020

Infographics are pretty cool, as long as you don't act like shitty apps guy who spammed his graphics AFTER people told him it's shit.
>>52923687
which manuals in particular contain the more basic fundamental commands?
>>52923785
This is a good command to lern commands:

>>52923648sudo apt-get install ruby-dev
sudo apt-get install build-essential g++
Download from: https://rubygems.org/pages/download
Unpack into a directory and cd there
Install with: ruby setup.rb (you may need admin/root privilege)sudo gem install bropages
sudo gem update bropages]
Then just type in the terminal:bro <command>

What is this, some kind of spurdo driven manpages?
How do I run the command "sudo service minidlna restart" upon bootup? Minidlna is reading my USB hard drive but it starts before my USB drive is recognized... Also, how to automatically run it hourly as my hard drive powers down automatically when not in use?
Fuck, I've done the shit from OP's image once on the laptop I work on. RHEL has a fail safe for this.
>>52923872
man cron
or add it to xinit
>>52923885
op is a faggot who never read the manpage of rm
>>52923872
systemctl enable minidlna
systemctl start minidlna
>hd
It still has the data links cached.
So even if it spins down the links will still be there on start
>timer
If you really want to, you can make a .timer and .service for minidlna that will run minidlnad -R and force a rescan of the media drives

How to set up TOR correctly?
Not only the browser bundle..
>>52924177
You dont.
Its not secure
>>52923892
>>52923928
Thank you both! :)
>>52924054
This is actually pretty neat.
>>52924177
You don't, Tor is a botnet. Use Gnunet instead.

Can someone help me get Packet Tracer on Chrubuntu? I have a tar.gz of PacketTracer63 but I'm not sure what I'm meant to do with it.
>>52924280
forgot to mention that the install file is in text form for some reason. it opens up in mousepad and I can see "echo" and all that shit as if it was meant to be run in the command line.

Random guy asking here, what about freenet?
I've been using Ubuntu quite a lot. But I don't like the bloat on it.
What's a good OS for nwebs that's minimal enough to not have any junk like Ubuntu has?
>>52924328
freenet is bad

Wait, wouldn't this disable compton? I haven't touched the xorg.conf.
>>52924354
what makes it bad?
>>52924384
Why do you need to run compton?
Compositing has no positive gains only issues
It would disable it on the xorg side, id imagine compton would still run but maybe having it be disabled.
You'd have to try it.I dont run compton
>>52924414
The content on it is bad. You're a disgusting human beaing
>>52924280
please someone help me with this, im desperate
What does this meanCE: hpet increased min_delta_ns to 20115 nsec
My keyboard and mouse stopped working for about 30 minutes then this was in dmesg
>>52924437
xfce is shit like that and tears out of the box. It fixed it on the laptop side. To add, I tried your suggestion on the xorg.conf and it fix the issue. Curiously enough, the tearing is back despite putting the conf how it used to be. What the fuck man?
>>52924457
well, disgusting content is available on all "secured" networks, but there are some decent content there otherwise.
>>52916127
Package manager and default software.
RPM is better, and it's commands are more straightforward. The default software on rpm based distros is also better.
>>52924516
Try removing compton from your user session and see what happens

I'm used to Fedora but apparently Korora is a bit more stable and has more stuff by default.
I'd go with Fedora but I don't know much about Korora.
Is there any way to fully encrypt a usb without using cli on arch linux?
>>52924560
I disabled it and rebooted( for giggles), there's the tearing again. I'll play some generic animu to see if the stuttering persists.

There's the stuttering again. I think a fresh install is happening again. I've learned a lot these past few weeks digging around manuals, setting up cron, and compiling. Hopefully the nvidia-driver through apt gets updated to the latest long lived version soon.
I'm completely new at this. How can I go about uninstalling all these numix icon themes?
Got them from:
>https://github.com/numixproject/numix-icon-theme-circle
>https://github.com/numixproject/numix-folders
Never extracted the numix-folder icons into src/share/icon or whatever, but did for the numix-icon-theme-circle's.
I've tried googling, but from the random ones I've just gave a shot, didn't work so I'm trying to lay it out here simply cause it seems like something that should be simple.
>>52924801
>fresh install
That is a window only erroneous way
Try a differnt wm and see if you're still having issues
Openbox would be one of the ligher ones that just werx
>>52924842
>locate numix
>delete
>>52924864
How? Just right clicking deleting doesn't work.
"There was an error deleting .git"
Do I need to do it through the terminal, if so how do I do it? I'm here to learn.
>>52924953
Its most likely in a location that you need elevated permissions
Im assuming it is in /usr/share.
You need to elevate your file manager to have root permissions, or just do it on the cli
>>52924982
Alright, I went into nautilus and im just moving things to trash, of course being careful thats its only stuff to do with numix. Hopefully this is the correct action.
Purely hypothetical question here because I don't think I'm ever going to do anything about this situation if not upgrade my old device.
Laptop 2GB of RAM
MATE desktop
Running: Firefox, Transmission, Exaile (music player).
Memory used: ~750MB
Half of which is of course Firefox.
A lot or not a lot?
>>52925118
What do you want to know?
>>52925142
Your biased opinion on the estimated ram usage.
Slight correction, MATE resource monitor uses quite a bit, "free" utility reports precisely 675MB of RAM used.
>>52925118
Unused ram is wasted ram.As long as you are not having OOM errors you're fine
This is with 2 chrome instances up and 1 firefox that has a 500mb profile
uptime is 16 days
I'm full of problems. Tried installing numix-icon-theme for gnome 3 on debian. I can only get folders to change icon, and let's say I want to use the blue colored ones instead how can i switch it... Tweak tool doesn't give me enough options
>>52925061
You should try out dolphin file manager.
It has an embedded terminal which is very useful when you need to run a file based command.
Any students here? If so what is your solution for not being able to use Word? I know there's alternatives like LibreOffice and stuff but let's be honest they're dog shit. Have lecturers ever asked for work in a specific format from you?
