Welcome to /flt/, we are always open to users of all levels, including absolute beginners.
There are four ways to try GNU/Linux, you can:
0) Install a GNU/Linux OS on a VM (Virtual Machine/VirtualBox) for "safety purposes"
1) Use the Live ISO directly without installing anything, that way, you can get a "full GNU/Linux experience".
2) Dual-boot GNU/Linux with Windows/Mac (recommended if you want to learn more about GNU/Linux)
3) Go balls deep and overwrite everything with GNU/Linux
Before asking, please search for answers to your questions in resources.
Please be civil, notice the "Friendly" in every Friendly GNU/Linux Thread.
Understand that much of your software from Windows will be unavailable, although maybe WINE can make up for it.

what do you have to say for yourself, /flt/?
What is you guys' favorite lightweight desktop environment?
I am using Cinnamon right now, but I want something that will take up less memory and run quicker on my old laptop.
How is MATE? How is LXDE (or LXQT)? How is XFCE?
>>53575950
>You must be ganoo here
I don't get it
>>53575980
I would choose MATE but it gives me tearing when using Chromium and Compiz.

>>53575978
Don't post shit that gives me cancer by reading it
>>53575978
Clickbait.
>>53575886
So I take it we're no longer bothering to post the entire OP pasta?
Does Debian MATE have Systemd? And what's wrong with Systemd (or what's right with it)
>>53575980
>lightweight
>desktop environment
Just use a WM only if you care about weight.
>>53576064
not at all, this man raises some valid points
>i learned linux its Really easy for me Because i learned it after using it the first linux i used was Backtrack it was good and not like an average OS "its Not an OS but 1/4th OF A OS"
>Lets talk about Mac its not open source but its still using Linux Kernal and its Very similar to Linux Because it is Almost Linux
>>53576082
Not everyone wants to spend hours configuring their WM just to make is useable, and besides the resource usage is negligible.
>>53576075
I'd say we post on event. Like, someone has a question about shell scripting -> Shell pasta.
Anyone here uses gentoo?
I'm trying to install a package that is written on haskell so its dependency is Haskell and when I emerge it, it gives an error* Messages for package dev-lang/ghc-7.8.4:

>>53576660
Current kernel on Arch is 4.4.5-1.
You either have testing enabled (in that case you should know what you do) or circumvent the official repos (in that case you fucked it up, blame yourself)
>>53576624
In my experience more like 150M very barebones. Starting with a display manager and with a few basic startup applications it can reach almost a gigabyte before you do anything. That'd be alright if it didn't look horrible and smell worse.
>>53575980
There is no such thing as a lightweight desktop environment. If your computer is older than 10 years old developers quit caring about you. You might as well start JWM from the commandline and call that your DE.

That's why you customize it.

I got a personal server with Debian Squeeze, recently when I tried to update/upgrade packages I got a 404 on the main distro apt (squeeze) but not on squeeze-lts. Checking https://wiki.debian.org/DebianSqueeze says that even LTS support has ended. Do you recomend to do dist-upgrade or get a fresh start?

>>53577520

Thanks, I'll do it tonight, I was just unsure of it being unsafe for servers
>>53577663
sudo numix
>>53577663
Nigga, it's in the repositories.
>>53577848
What an inane comment that didn't help anything.
>>53578006
What, in the official or AUR? I don't know how to install from AUR, I just switched to Arch from Windows.
>>53578023
Start learning how to do things instead of shitting up the thread.
>>53578023
Just install ubuntu, fuck
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=numix+arch+linux
>>53578052
>>53578093
Again not very friendly, not very helpful. You could've just said sudo pacman -S numix-themes
I didn't know it was numix-themes.
Now how to enable this? Or should it be on by default?
Also there's no point in installing ubuntu because I might as well use windows if I didn't want to learn things.
>>53578175
You open the Arch Wiki, Pacman page and find the part which mentions how to search the repository.
>>53578175
It's also not very friendly to waste our time with shit you should have googled.

>>53578352
Where is the repository?
>>53578390

No testing enabled, I meant 4.4.5-1
>>53578423

>>53578442
works on my machine then
>>53578444
in the root directory?
>>53578452
The root of all roots
>>53578332
If you're on Ubuntu there might be a ppa that you can add, but on other distros yes. Or you can git clone it into the correct directory.
>>53578452
root@root
>>53578452
Psst! You should have listened to the Anon that said "no".
>>53578481
Then how do you install it?
>>53578505
very carefully
>>53578505
Follow install instructions that come with the program.
>>53578505
Delete system32. It prevents the adding of the repos
>>53576332
>still showing your new, still not understanding
It's hilarious when people haven't actually installed gentoo.
>>53578505
Depends on how it's distributed, which isn't necessarily limited to one way! Maybe there's a repository available that carries the package. Perhaps there's a binary (like .deb or .rpm or what-have-you) available for download on the developers' site. Mayhap I will install it from source!
There is likely more specific information available at wherever you downloaded whatever from, or otherwise included in the archive as another Anon suggests.
>>53578467
How would you do it for yum?
>>53575886
why is linux such a pain in the ass when the distro doesnt support your hardware and you have to install drivers from some shitty chinese website?
So I've been running various Linux distros on my laptop for a while now and have been using Manjaro for a few months. I liked it so much, that I decided to get it on my main desktop. There is one problem however: the games that I run on Windows -- even the ones that can run natively on Linux -- are hideously laggy with huge consistent lag spikes every few seconds. According to MHWD, I have the latest non-free driver for my Nvidia GTX 750 ti. Is there a way to solve this on Manjaro; will changing to a different distro centred around games that supports a wide-range of GPUs, like Play-Linux (or others you can suggest) solve this; or will I have to boot Windows every time I want to play games?

On Debian jessie I get an error message during boot saying "failed to load iwlwifi", but my wifi works without errors as far as I can tell. Should I install the iwlwifi firmware from the official repo to get rid of the error message?
>>53578700
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux,
is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux.
Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component
of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell
utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day,
without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU
which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are
not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a
part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system
that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run.
The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself;
it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is
normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system
is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux"
distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

So whenever I unplug then plug my laptop back into power it becomes unresponsive all I can do is move the mouse around the screen. I cant click on anything and I can't go into the terminal by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1 I also noticed caps lock doesn't turn the light on and off. What should I do? Where would I even start to try to figure out what is causing this problem?
>>53578675
There should be instructions... What are you trying to install?
>>53578700
I speculate that when planning to use any proprietary drivers, one should just stick to *buntu. Canonical seems to consider it a lot more important than anyone else, which should lead to making everything play well with those drivers a priority.

Go to the fucking wiki
I'd like to install Arch on my desktop alongside Windows 7, but I'm simply too stupid and I can't comprehend how to adapt the partitioning/mounting part of the install process for a system that has several windows partitions.
I want to take the 100GB of unallocated space I have, turn it into a logical ext4 partition, put all of Arch on that single one, and then install grub and have it recognize windows as well.
Hopefully without fucking up my partition table
"parted" seems really complicated to use and easy to fuck up with, could I use one of the other ones available?
And what do I do once I have created the partition?
Is it easy to install arch and keep the /home/user partition I already have?
>>53579004
Arch Anywhere. Google it
>>53579023
When you finish install Arch, edit /etc/fstab and add your partition in the bottom

>Change graphics driver from nouveau to recommended proprietary one from nvidia
>Laptop now shows nothing but a black screen after the splash screen
>Navigate to tty-1, uninstall nvidia driver and attempt to reinstall the nouveau
>reboot, now just goes right to tty-1 instead of a black screen
Either I missed a step somewhere which I can take care off on its own, or I fucked up completely. Is it the former? I hope it's the former.

>>53579042
Okay, cool, I somehow completely missed that this existed.
The two Arch installers that I looked at, archboot and archfi both abandon me at the partitioning part to the same CLI-programs as if I was doing it manually, so I gave up on the idea.
I'll check this out, thanks.

Hi /flt/, I'm a (former) arch user looking to switch to a different distro for my VM. I intend to use my VM to do simple things mostly involving the command line, such as small-scale programming, that is generally over-complicated to do in a windows environment.
What I like about arch is that it doesn't come bundled with a dozen games and office suites and music playing software. As I'm not using Linux as a primary OS, but rather for its terminal, package manager, and browser, I do not need those things. I'd like to only install what I need beyond the desktop environment and other absolute basics.
However, I find that arch is a bit too power-user centric for my needs. A nice robust Linux distro for normies is likely to work better for me.
Is my best bet to get Ubuntu/Mint/other debian-based distro and remove all the stuff I have no need for, or is there a distro out there that seems to fit my use case?
>>53579870
You can do a minimal install of most distros, including Ubuntu and Debian. No need to remove stuff.
I'd like to injerject for a moment here.
What you are refering to as GNU, is in fact linux-libre/GNU, as the GNU 'OS' itself does not work without a working kernel, whereas Linux does work fine without GNU. The GNU project even had to fork the famous Linux kernel to make the claim the 'GNU OS' is complete, where their very own effort called HURD still does NOT work after 20 years in developement.
Don't be the one, don't be a GNUfag.

The best? Debian.
The easy? Ubuntu.

What do I have to install to make my computer ask for a password every time I open it?
I'm on Arch, every time I suspend my computer closing it and when I open it again, it instantly gets back to where it was. Anyone could browse through my hentai library. Help pls.
I want to install openSUSE but it seems KDE and GNOME 3 are the only two DE's largely supported.
My question is if removing defaults like KDE's messenger and email client could cause stability issues or not.
>>53581410
Pretty sure the Arch wiki has an article on screen locking.
>>53581410
i3lock, run it before you close your lid.
>>53581410
I seriously don't get it. Why do people install Arch, when they aren't able to lock their screens without help? Don't take it personally, but -
>>53581513
Well I've been learning a fucking lot since I started using Arch. Of course I'm a complete noob and I ask for help all the time. But the whole "Oh I get this now" feels amazing.
>>53581513
Well I mean, people have to learn somehow.
>>53581513
You're acting like Arch is so advanced, but in reality, it's easy for people who are able to read and ask the right questions.
>>53581528
I know that feel bro.
Okay guys. I have this machine with a pretty old Ubuntu in front of my face and I want GTK thumbnails. The launchpad packages don't work here, so I need to patch GTK myself. An there is my problem. Any kind anon, who would write up a howtodothis? Where do I get GTK? Can I do this while running my system? No bully pls.
>>53581622
i still dont get it
>12 years internet rage

what is wrong with that people?

>>53581431
Got it. It's kind of ugly but it does its job. Thanks a lot.
>>53581706
Try this one buddy:i3lock -ni <(import -window root png:- | convert png:- -scale 10% -scale 1000% png:-) &>/dev/null
Bind it to a hotkey; I use xbindkeys.
>>53581726
Reminder that ImageMagick can sudo your mother.
>>53581410
I thought you could configure that through the power settings? At least on Xfce you can.
>>53581622
Join KDE master race
>>53581772
No thanks. I don't want to install 1,5 GB for a thumbnail feature.

That's 1.5GB of features you GNOME slaves won't ever know of

Dump spurdo or GTFO.
Is there a way to add a hard drive to fstab automatically instead of manually adding the entry and typing out the UUID?

Are you a bit jealous of my supreme DE?
>>53581906
Oh, yes, I like to play with windows in a networkless VM
>>53578023
you can use ABS > makepkg -S > pacman -U or install AUR helpers like yaourt
>>53577663
numix is in the official repo, the package name is numix-themes
>>53581900
Why do you need it added to fstab in the first place?
>>53581929
>networkless
top kek, hownew.ru
>>53581924
Short answer if you won't be able to, if your system is pretty old.
>>53581949
I'm trying to mount my HDD automatically so I can use it for data. Right now it had to be mounted manually through CLI or Dolphin, plus it's read-only by default.
>>53581975
install udevil
>>53581981
What's wrong with just doing it the fstab way?
>>53581992
Suit yourself
>>53576170
just use du -h --max=1 command
>>53581879
>he actually has bloatDE packages installed
>>53582001
>--max=1
First of all it's --max-depth, secondly it's easier to just do -d1
>>53581995
I'm not the guy who asked, I was just wondering.
>>53582095
It means you can mount any device and they will be writeable.
>>53582127
>implying I use gnome
>implying I even have title bars
>implying I can't get these things when I need them if I want them
>>53582155
I was also implying you can't even have resizable file preview
I have infinality/fontconfig-ultimate installed but remote fonts look kind of weird any oddly spaced, it's only for remote fonts though. Can I disable webfonts somehow?
>>53581513
some people want to learn how stuff works.
>>53581410
you've installed arch and you can't find a way to lock your screen
>>53579550
choose best mirrors, use reflector
How do files end up in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ? I see a few in there that I don't think should be there and could be causing some weird issues I am having.
>>53576171
>ubuntu
Horrible, they have so many patches they need to fix. Don't use Ubuntu, use Mint or Gentoo or Arch
>>53581513
Bout 10 years ago people started to find out that if you want to totally lie about something or pretend to sound smart or interesting, all you have to do is pick something that nobody knows about. They have no idea what it is, so they tend to at least kind of believe you when you say it's so good, implication being again that you are smart or have taste or did work to find some hidden gem. This is what's called a hipster. Now let's try this for computer
>Walk in room
>See everyone using windows
>Hmmm.... better switch to mac!
>next room
>has the collection of mac users
>Hmmm... Better try linux.
>Go on the internet
>find masses of people using ubuntu, fedora, debian
>hmmm.... better go for arch.
Process repeats itself after this too, head on over to our current desktop thread to see the initial arch ricers calm and satisfied that they think they are snowflakes and when other arch users show up, it's
>not using some obscure dead tiling wm
For comparison:
Words said for music hipster type
>Yeah it's a different kind of music not from around here...
Words said for computer hipster type
>It's a "do it yourself" distro...
What is after both of these "..." ? Well, they both secretly end in "...I think I'm fucking better than you."
>>53578332
just domake
sudo make install
goodluck with dependencies but if you're in arch most of the packages are in the Arch User Repository while in debian based ditros they use PPAs
>>53582309
Stop recommending Mint.
>>53582384
Doesn't mint fuck its users with drivers or something. I remember someone telling horror stories on irc about their experience with it.
I tried and failed some research into compiling linux for my specific build and now I need help because I couldn't find anything for compiling to my build and the reasons are 1: all the popular distros either break [lost control over sleep timer, dm breaks after wakeup from sleepmode, power manager doesn't respond] or 2 have small nuances that irk me [scroll bar extreme side on some windows doesn't count as part of the scroll bar when window is maximized]. So, if I were going to compile some linux and tailor it to my hardware, what pieces should I pick?
