Welcome to /fglt/. 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.

No.

The default UI font in XnViewMP changed from some normal font to picrelated about a month ago. There's no option to change it in the settings.

>>54755735
not him but it's just an image viewer, what can it do that viewnior, mpv, gnome image viewer, feh or anything else can't?
>>54755735
What do you even need?
>>54755780
I use Nomacs and it does more than I need from it. All I wanted from an image viewer is the ability to view, resize and crop images quickly. Using GIMP for resizing and cropping is overkill.
>>54755592
That depends on the toolkit this was compiled with.
Is it Qt, GTK or some own proprietary thing?
If it's some proprietary toolkit you have to look in the software's settigns.

you could just use an image editor and an image viewer like a normal person. also why would you want to customize any image viewer? all it has to do is display images.

>>54756020
why would this be bait? you are genuinely using a tool that is worse at image editing than gimp and worse at image viewing than viewnior. there is no reason to use a proprietary image viewer no matter how you put it.

Finally, man.
>worse at image editing than gimp and worse at image viewing than viewnior
I agree with the first point (viewnior is hot ass trash garbage), but it's all irrelevant anyway.
Why? Because one program that can do both good is better. I think XnViewMP is a stellar image viewer and as a great bonus it has some sick editing features that would take me orders of magnitude longer to perform in GIMP or any other editing suite.
>there is no reason to use a proprietary image viewer
Unless it's good. Did you ever think about such possibility?

How can I change the default background colors of less?
>>54756293
less is a terminal application
Do you want to configure your terminal?
>>54756168
It just dumps it all to swap.

But less has color options, I supposed it can be done independently of the terminal, or it isn't?

>>54755888

>>54756346
You can pass it the -R flag which will make it interpret colour control characters properly if a program has colourful output. But there's no changing what colours it can use---that's up to your terminal.
>>54756362
this question is asked on /g/ and especilly in this thread so often that everybody assumes that it is a troll question, especially if it is as loaded as in this case.
rms answers a lot of emails, manages the fsf, posts on the mailinglists, organizes his speeches and manages his website.
>>54756470
I know he's very busy and must spend a lot of time on his computer(s), but why all the photographs of him using it in odd locations, like in the middle of the woods? Is he actually so busy that he's using his computer 100% of the time, even during recreation?
>>54756293
It's pretty much undocumented, but you can use termcaps.
Example:export LESS_TERMCAP_mb=$(tput bold; tput setaf 1)
export LESS_TERMCAP_md=$(tput bold; tput setaf 3)
export LESS_TERMCAP_me=$(tput sgr0)
export LESS_TERMCAP_so=$(tput smso)
export LESS_TERMCAP_se=$(tput rmso)
export LESS_TERMCAP_us=$(tput smul; tput setaf 7)
export LESS_TERMCAP_ue=$(tput rmul; tput sgr0)
export LESS_TERMCAP_mr=$(tput rev)
export LESS_TERMCAP_mh=$(tput dim)
export LESS_TERMCAP_ZN=$(tput ssubm)
export LESS_TERMCAP_ZV=$(tput rsubm)
export LESS_TERMCAP_ZO=$(tput ssupm)
export LESS_TERMCAP_ZW=$(tput rsupm)
Through it into your ~/.bashrc.
More info:
- man termcap
- man terminfo
Note that his will also affect manpages if your pager is less.

I guess this is how he spends the time between speeches in remote countries. People like to photograph him this way.
Best way of getting any GNU/Linux distros working on CyanogenMod13
>>54755232
I also asked in /tpg/, but I'll ask here, too. Anyone have recommendations for which distro is best on the x61s? I'm mostly concerned with potential difficulties associated with the x series.
I only have experience with Mint and Puppy, and I like both of them. Tried Ubuntu and hated it so much I uninstalled it the same day I installed it.

any distro should work. pick a DE/WM you like and choose a distro with a good community and a lot of packages in the main repo.
Is there a way to prevent gnome shell from creating copies of every single image I set as a background? That doesn't make any sense, it creates the copies in the same folder and does not delete old created copies after switching to another wallpaper. 3.20.1, btw.
So I recently decided to jump on the train; tabs for idention and spaces for aligment.
Now my problem is that a lot of my source code is writte with spaces only.
Is there a way to batch convert it?
>>54756642
>tabs for idention
code monkey
>>54756642
In vim you can do
:%s/ /\t/g
Where that gap is the number of spaces you use per tab
You can also use sed -i on the command line (look up some examples---sed is very powerful)
>>54756709
Why? Did I fell for some meme?
>>54756711
Thank you, worked with vim.
>>54756745
>Why? Did I fell for some meme?
no.
tabs > spaces
>>54756636
i think (not sure) this depends on the folder you do it from and how you set it. if you set your wallpaper from viewnior or feh, it should not be duplicated.
>>54756642
>tabs for idention and spaces for aligment.
NIGGER YOU WHAT
You don't fucking mix tabs and spaces.
Spaces > tabs.
>>54756745
All the good coders I saw used 2 spaces. I never see a good developer who do not use 2 spaces.
>>54756772
>everbody has to read my code the way I want

Who cares? You are aware that between the exit node and your home are shitloads of proxies? That's the whole point of Tor. The exit sees just a few proxies, behind more few proxies, behind hundrets of proxies, thousands of people are connecting to in changing cycles.
>literally has no content

You're bad at math, man.
>let alone hassle of its speed limits
Speed has improved over the years because Tor is growing.
Just stop falling for memes. Using Tor doesn't get you on a "NSA list of bad people" and the FBI doesn't knock on your door because you are using Tor. The NSA is collecting informations about everyone, not only criminals, you should've know that since Snowden. Tor actually makes it more difficult for the NSA, since they can't connect informations into individual profiles.
>>54757938

>Spend 50 hours downloading a 1mb file
You're trying too hard. It's not THAT bad, also Tor isn't made for downloading/torrenting anyway. The point is privacy. If you don't people don't want to go full tinfoil, it's good enough to route .onion services to tor and for other things to stay on the clearnet. This way you can use hidden services like the duckduckgo websearch etc.
tl;dr just use Tor when you need it/makes sense

Why didn't you said the truth, that you don't like games and prefer sex?
>>54759233
Well top one is, you can actually decide what processes are happening more or less. Being on win 10 now using virtual box... Windows spoops me cause I cannot control or see what is actually happening in my machine. This is totally fucked by windows. You cannot shutdown unnecessary processes that the proprietary windows kernel deems needed, ie Contra spyware. This goes for all GUN+Linux OS's and distros. Buntu gets shit by a lot of the Gentoo and Arch fags cause it's for new users more or less. Also I would install whatever you choose on a different drive before totally switching over

all analog
>>54759598It does this by reading values from a multitude of sensors within the engine bay, interpreting the data using multidimensional performance maps (called lookup tables), and adjusting the engine actuators accordingly. Before ECUs, air-fuel mixture, ignition timing, and idle speed were mechanically set and dynamically controlled by mechanical and pneumatic means.
>>54759638
all analog
learn to read
besides save for those modern ECUs controlled by microprocessors with all the diagnostic stuff and shiz where any and all changes have to be made with signed authorization keys there's no drm to speak off
Not having the means to make changes to the electronics doesn't imply DRM.
It's like saying that your ti 83 has DRM.
Caught a qt mirin my Arch with animu wallpaper on the train today
Have been using mint 13 for the past few years, although not quite exclusively.
I decided a month or so ago that I wanted to try some alternative to firefox, and discovered iceweasel. I didnt really know what I was getting myself into or I would NEVER have actually installed it. It involved backporting packages, something that I was able to accomplish but still do not have a total understanding of. Somewhere in the whole process I updated firefox accidentally. (I think I told the terminal to install iceweasel and it substituted it for firefox for some reason.) I later decided that I did not like iceweasel and uninstalled it and reinstalled firefox only to find that the appearance was stuck on (what I now realize to be) xfce-basic. So you know how you can go into the settings menu and change the look of the desktop with by changing the appearance to things like crux, xfce-winter, aurora, xfce-dawn, xfce-dusk, etc, etc? I had mine set to xfce-dusk, and it had worked fine with firefox before, but ever since my ill-fated alternative browser experiment, firefoxes appearance was stuck on xfce-basic, and not only is it indescribably ugly, but it is also a glaring (literally) contrast to EVERY other program I use. I go from a nice, easy to look at dark theme from any other program to having a search light blasted into my face when I open up firefox. Every other program works fine with xfce-dusk, the only problem is firefox.
What caused the problem and/or how do I fix it?
If all else fails, I will format the partition mint is installed on and reinstall it entirely. (also have xp on the same drive) This is ONLY a last resort, and will be an epic inconvenience if I am forced to do it.
>> tldr: firefox appearance is stuck on xfce-basic, how do I make it follow the same appearance as everything else?
Thanks so much in advance, if this is solved, it will save me DAYS of file transfer and setting tweaking later on!

So how does the Ubuntu 16.04.1 point release work? I really want to switch from windows right now and can't wait those two months. If I switch now will I have to fresh install when the .1 comes out or is the .1 just a refresh/bundle of all the bug fixes from the first 3 month period?
Also I have a 7970, anyone know how fucked am I on the AMDGPU drivers? I don't intend on playing games or anything but I don't want it shitting itself while watching anime or something.

>>54760774
Yes you will need to use your package manager.
Youd have to revert more then just gtk3,i tried it and just gave up,since i didnt have a snapshot of before the update.If you do revert back,you will need to blacklist those packages in your package mangers config
But yes,youd want to revert to gtk3 3.18.
Or just get a new theme that works for 3.20,all i know of are vortex and arc.They both have a "dark" theme.

>>54760812
I dont see any options for vortex or arc. Is this because Im using mint 13? is there a way to change that?
Also, Im considering upgrading to 17.x on this laptop. It has 2 GB of RAM and a pentium m 780 CPU clocked at 2.26 GHz (although it acts for some reason as if it were a 745 and clocks itself at 1.7 GHz... Its a long story...)
Do you think that my hardware can handle 17.x without any loss of performance compared to 13? or is there something above 13 that I should switch to? I would just stay on 13 because I like the look of it for the most part, its more rugged looking and just feels sturdy compared to newer stuff which feels a bit more flowery and all. Unfortunately, when I try to use a second monitor plugged into the vga port on my laptop I can only mirror the display rather than extend it as I want to. I know this works on 17...
>>54760982
I dont use your distro,so i dont know how taxing the default install would be.

No idea, but search the web for your model. Maybe Ubuntu's didn't detect your card and you need to install your stuff manually.

Depends. If you just use the distro the way it comes and don't change much stuff (like replacing the DE), you should be save, but if you're going to customize a lot, an upgrade may fuck your custom stuff.

I always recommend Debian, but it seems like Linux Mint might be good for you.
I've searched but none of the sites has this info:
A video player for Linux, that can show two subtitles on screen at once (for example, someone speaking while reading something, and both the speech and written text on screen show translated), and isn't VLC (currently using VLC and have some issues).

Listen here faggot. This is a discussion thread. Perhaps someone here has used a non systemd distro as a production server and would like to discuss their experiences and make recommendations based on their personal experienced. But oh wait this is /fglt/ where we discuss muh linux pronouns of "gnu/linux" vs "linux with a side of gnu cum sauce" and where no one has actually run a production server. Fuck off faggot and also think about how deeply you hurt RMS's soul every time you link to a google botnet instead of a free as in freedom search engine.

Anything with gtk3+ or qt5+ has good scaling. look up hidpi scaling on the arch wiki
Alright, I'm thinking about jumping ship to Linux.
Which of Ubuntu, Xubuntu and Mint is the best? I've dealt with Xfce on like Arch linux briefly in a virtual machine and couldn't get shit to work, same on FreeBSD.
Mint I've heard has gaping security holes because the kernel's like two years old and gets very little support, but is easy for people switching.
How bad does vanilla ubuntu spy on you nowadays? I hear it's not super fucking horrible but the package is still tehre, just not running.
