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

but is it really true, as in when you write python --version you get 3.5?

If you are serious about switching to Linux, you will avoid Windows automatically.
If you find yourself wishing you could go back to Windows, just keep using Windows, honestly. Until the day you hate it so much that you love everything that's *not* it.

Arch Linux *does* let ‘python’ point to python3. This is a widely known and widely hated fact in the python community, and it specifically goes against python's *official* upstream policy on the matter, which is that “python” shall always point to a version of python 2.x, never python 3. (For backwards compatibility)
>zero knowledge of os.
I have spoken with actual arch linux maintainers on the matter who have vehemently defended their stance, even aggressively dismissing the python upstream policy as “irrelevant”.
I have also spoken with the python community about this subject and there is a widespread resentment of arch linux for making everybody's life harder and spreading a lot of irrational mistrust towards or fear of python3 due to it breaking every single script (on arch).
>never used os
I have for a period of time, but I stopped pretty quickly. I don't see how this is relevant, any way.

Hi,
following situation:
I'm running a W10/Ubuntu dual boot with both on my SSD.
Now I wanted to use one of my HDDs as my steam libary (on Linux) but im getting an error that the partition I wanna use is read-only
How do I fix that?
>>54133677
Why point to obsolete versions?
If people cant adapt to new technology,they have no right to complain about it.If they devs didnt want "issues" they shouldnt have released v3 and just patch v2.
Do you use v1.0 kernels?
Use insecure versions of openssl?
>>54133705
Go in to your /etc/ftab and make sure it isnt being mounted as ro,and if it is,change it to rw.
>>54133808
I don't have an ftab folder, only a fstab.d folder and its empty
Gentoo or Funtoo?
>>54133841

If you dont have one i dont see how you got in to your os. It holds the mount points for your drives.

I'd just like to interject for moment. What you're refering 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!

If I install gentoo following the wiki do I get "stable" by default? Is this as old as debian stable? Is this easy to change later on after I learn a bit without reinstalling? I would like a modern kernel, such as 4.4 or higher. To make sure my video card is working properly.

>If I install gentoo following the wiki do I get "stable" by default?
yes.
> Is this as old as debian stable?
No. Packages considered stable by gentoo are usually in experimental/sid (if we are talking about software with active, ongoing development)
>Is this easy to change later on after I learn a bit without reinstalling?
yes. just "unmask" the said package, and install the new version. certain packages allow you to keep multiple versions installed
>I would like a modern kernel, such as 4.4 or higher.
You can just install that to being with. You can have multiple kernels installed, they don't interfere with each other. you can choose in GRUB which one you want to boot up.-

Oh, that's awesome. Thanks.
So, I recently got my new computer, and I finished reinstalling everything related to windows (and for reasons, no, I won’t give up on Memedows).
I have been trying now for a couple of days to reinstall in dual-boot my distro of Linux, but for some reasons when I try to boot my USB in EFI mode, I get this:Waiting 30 seconds for device /dev/disk/by-label/*name of the distro I tried to install* ...
Error: Boot device didn't show up after 30 seconds...
Falling back to interactive prompt.
You can try and fix the problem manually....
ramfs$
I know this means that the ISO expected my USB dongle to be labeled as shown in /dev/disk/by-label/whatever but for some reason, even if I relabel my dongle under Windows, it won’t find it, and for some reason, the dongle doesn’t show up when I enter this:ls /dev/disk/by-label/
I tried this with ArchitectLinux, Antergos and Apricity, and all three fail to boot. I’d really like to avoid the pain of the classical way of installing Arch (I know it’s feasible, I’ve already done it before). (and yeah, Arch-based distro, because of the AUR)
I’ve tried the software in pic to make the bootable dongle, especially rufus, Universal USB installer and USBWriter, but all gave the same result.
I hope that’s not the USB dongle itself that is fucked.
I want to do a fresh debian/xfce reinstall on a new ssd however I want to keep all the neat tweaks, cron tasks and all packages I have or made over the last months.
What's the best way to do it?
>>54134411
Can you change it? to by-uuid or just try simply /dev/sdXX?
>>54133418
27 here, married AND virgin
>>54134411
use dd not some meme program that never works
>>54134438
you ARE keeping all of your customizations in ~ and symlinking, right?
just rsync ~
>>54134448
I’ll try and see if the sdXX of my dongle shows up (and don’t worry, I know the XX means, I’m not that much of a noob~)
but on my last try, I took a look and didn’t see it, also it happens sometimes I have to reassign a letter to my drive for some reason.
>>54134473
is dd something available under Windows? I don’t have access to any linux machine as for now
>>54134448
Oh boy, if that’s true you’re not lucky at all.
>>54134557
>(and don’t worry, I know the XX means
first x: is the "number" of your dist, represented by the abc: sda, sdb, sdc, sdd
second x is the number of the partition
1-4 for primary partitions
5 and up for logical partitions
examples:
sda1 first primary partition of your first hard disk
sdb6 second logical partition of your second hard disk
If you have two hard disks, you USD disk is most likely sdc, so try /dev/sdc1
>>54134557
>is dd something available under Windows? I don’t have access to any linux machine as for now
1. get rufus, it has a dd mode option
2. or get win32diskimager
don't worry, both of them are free software

are you honestly this retarded

I’ll try again with these software, thanks!
>>54134491
>you ARE keeping all of your customizations in ~ and symlinking
I don't remember being this organized, I still need to manually check and sort every nook and cranny for the conf files I need then rsync.
Problem is I never did a backup/transfer operation, I just hope that rsync is reliable/failproof

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.
What do I win?

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering 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.

Do you not see how you just come off as provocative trolls? How is this "protest" helping any? Do you seriously think spamming a single thread on 4chan is going to help your cause at all? You have zero power here, if the mods wanted to, and if they really were "le payed micro$hit employees XD", they could just remove all your posts and you're helpless to do anything. Throwing a shitfest is not going to get the administration's attention and it's only going to create more animosity towards your cause. In fact, by spamming like clueless retards you give the mods more weapons to justifiably delete more of your posts. I'm actually 100% convinced now that you're false-flagging this whole thing just to make the FSF look bad, there's no way anyone could be this stupid otherwise.

Midori is possibly the worst browser I've ever used. What could have possibly posessed gentoo to use it as their sysrescuecd browser? Each gentoo wiki page takes 5 minutes to load. Yet, 4chan works fine. At least pick a browser that you optimize your site for, jeez.

Gook fails to update his ban list for the latest Tor nodes.
The Tor Nodes are what need to be banned to ban posters from that DHCP pool.
If you make another Tor node, then it isn't banned and you can post. Pot of luck though as you can't see what nodes are blacklisted..
>>54132998

Tech illiterate spotted.
a) the only way to know it's Tor is the IPs of the exit nodes, which are public available.
b) Tor is a network and has nothing to do with your browser, therefore no useragent can tell if Tor or not
c) not being able to post of 4chan, doesn't mean people should drop privancy in general, kiddo
>>54137787
What are you talking about? There is no "Tor browser" user agent.

We could set up a system for reporting shill/troll threads in which a small group of trusted anons would be able to report thread IDs to a server and the rest of us could update the list of threads from the server and filter them out. This can be automated, of course.

hi /flt/
I've been using arch with xfce for a while now, it's cool but I'm looking for an apt-based distro for the next few months.
How does elementaryOS hold up? I use eclipse and maven and the sorts quite often and I do not get them from the repositories so I'm okay with the older repos, but does Pantheon feel good to use? Or would it feel smoother (animations etc, I'm a bit tired of xfce's clunkiness even with compton) somewhere else like gnome or even unity?
>>54138650
>it's common knowledge bruh

no I'm implying that the guy bitching about mods is the cuck, not the mod
>>54139004
and just in case you're wondering, my role in this situation is voyeur, but I've watched way to much mst3k to simply watch quietly instead of mouthing off when I see a chance
>>54138731
Someone deleted the thread. Cuck confirmed?
Ok I need to chose a distro.
I've tried Slackware but the kernel isn't new enough to support my wifi card (I am bad at kernel compilation).
I've tried Crux/Arch/Void but each one just didn't feel completed or took too long.
I've tried Fedora but gnome is ugly and I dislike dnf.
I've tried Gentoo/Funtoo and I like them, but i'm on an oldish ThinkPad and I can't be asked to compile for hours just to try new things.
I've tried Mint and I like it but I want to have a system that I tailor to my needs, without so much software forced in automatically.
I really liked Eementary out of the box, but I really need to be able to change things or it gets stale
I wanted to try freeBSD but I never got my graphics drivers to work..
What do you people settle for? I'd like to constantly be able to tweak things in case I get bored and I'm ok with taking a few hours to install/set up my system as long as I don't have to compile every update myself. (t440p by the way)
Do I just go with Crux?
>>54139080
my choice is antergos minimal then build from there
>>54139080
Debian is nice, you tested a lot of obscure stuff.
>>54138122
How about you and your GNU friends stay in the fucking GNU thread, and everyone else can use the Linux threads in peace?
We're not the faggots who decided to remove Linux from the name, therefore removing all chance of any new people getting help with actual problems.
If you want to be a part of the circlejerk then that's fine, just don't be upset when nobody else joins your party.
How about instead of tweaking things you do something that is actually useful? Learn to use Emacs. Setup Emacs as your WM. Learn by heart all GNU and Linux utils and their piping. Etc.
>>54139107
Antergos minimal is just arch with different repos.. right? Why would I need that over arch?

>>54138634
I use busybox but i dont use gnu,linux is what i have in common with this thread.Therefore it is more correct to not assume everyone uses gnu.
Why is half of this thread deleted?
>>54139145
Yes i'd like to do that. But tight now i'm using slackware with kde and no sound or wifi because I suck at everything. I just need an interesting distro that isn't shit out of the box.
>>54139152
I've tried the xfce and minimalist spin, I enjoyed the minimalist spin with just openbox, but not so much the xfce one. I dislike dnf because it's slow compared to.. well, every other package manager, even emerge feels faster than it (Not including compile times)
>>54139172
Well if I wanted an autmated installer i'd just use architect. But no, installing arch is not annoying. I just don't like the aur, the bleeding edge software, and systemd, though I do like the package manager and wiki. I do like new software, but I also like the software to be tested before I get a binary. (not like manjaro..)
>>54139122
Not that guy but the just gnu thread was created because this thread started without any gnu. This op removed it from the pasta, probably because he is the alpine hipster or a troll.
>>54139135
Just enable nonfree sources in debian and install firmware-linux-nonfree. Then it will work. But you should be able to find this out yourself before debian is right for you. Install some buntu.

>>54139276
The general has been /FLT/ for a lot longer than it has been /FaGLeT/, but it has never been just /FagGeT/.
Reverting to the old norm is not trolling. Completely renaming a general so nobody can even find it anymore IS trolling.
Do a catalogue search for just "GNU", see if you get more than 4 results.
GNU on it's own is irrelevant, but linux on it's own is not. Combined is acceptable, but not required by any means.
Maybe once you hurdboys have calmed down you can just join us in the only active linux thread left?
>>54139354
I'd rather remove your-freedom than not use the internet. I support open source software but it's not an all or nothing type of thing.

Not even RMS believes in Hurd.
I don't care if it's /flt/ or /fglt/, only that the pasta remains the way it's always been.
>>54139404
I always include non-free and there's nothing you can do to stop me :^)
>>54139080
Honestly
Arch+Openbox+tint2+conky is a good start to make it "complete"
>>54139378
Fuck off, you trolled /fglt/. We all decided to level up to a correct name. We made the website, we made the pasta, we provided friendly help.

I'm on gentoo but if I had a thinkpad I'd install debian on it.
>>54139422
I am thinking about just sticking with arch, but I don't want to devolve into one of those guys.
>>54139460
Any reason, and would you go the minimalist way, or use something like kde or gnome?
>>54139417
If you wanted the pasta to remain the way it has "always" been then OP would be using: https://wiki.installgentoo.com/index.php//flt/
You know, the fucking wiki that the board sticky points to, not some "lol random xD" site hosted in the Netherlands.
>>54139439
>STOP LIKING THINGS I DON'T LIKE
If you want to continue your GNU threads then please continue, nobody here has a problem with that.
Maybe the janitors do, but that's probably just due to the general attitude you freetards seem to be attracting.
However, if you expect nobody to just make a sanely named thread you are going to have a bad time. Just fucking listen to yourselves.
>>54139491
The wiki pasta is made by one guy. The thread pasta was made by the community, what do you believe is the correct one?
>>54139477
I've used Debian longer than any other distro, it's always been there for me.
I would just use a window manager, because that's what I prefer.
>>54139477
Been using arch for 8 years,before /g/ even knew what it was
Using kde or gnome,bloats everything and you'll be using different programs that would over lap some functionality.Find a wm you like and go with it.If you dont want to deal with openbox's retarded xml config ,try fluxbox its plaintext
>>54139378
Yes and 2 people on the wiki controlled the flt pasta there, what op posted, this is why some dude made a website with information for these threads.
The pasta has stayed almost the same since I changed the google to searx.me a few months ago. I used the "/flt/ - friendly gnu/linux thread" title and that one dude that always plsted rare stallmans did this as well. Fglt is good, flt with gnu/linux is good, flt with friendly linux thread is okay, flt with every trace of gnu removed is retarded and it is no wonder people get pissed off at it. This op is almost as much of a faggot as shitty apps guy was.
>>54139175
buy a macbook quick
>>54139513
If you don't like the wiki, fucking change it.
If enough unique IPs keep reinstating the same changes, maybe it'll just stick.
But no, instead of behaving like adults, you nurds go away and make your own site and your own general, but have the fucking gall to bitch that the old general still exists.
>GOSH GUYS DONT YOU KNOW THERES A GNU THREAD
We all fucking know, nobody cares though. If people want to use the GNU threads they will, and if they want to use either /flt/ or /fglt/ threads they will use those instead.
There's no need to be salty that nobody is joining your special club.
>>54139539
>>54139531
Now i'm stuck between debian and arch.
bleh.
Would Debian unstable(or testing) be as stable as Arch, and is pacman or apt better?
I can't believe that some low quality troll is able to make hundreds of people angry and mods to delete legit threads.
If this would be /b/, OP would be king of 4chan, but sadly this isn't /b/ and OP is a FAGGOT.
