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.

Would fedora be good?
regards >>54872880
>>54872946
just try it
>>54872946
Fedora has a very interesting stance on free software and the distro is usable as a new user. i think it is not bad. but there are not a lot of users of it that you could ask about distro-specific problems. I'd say give it a try.

What does /g suggest for AUR management.

The reason i'm asking is that i am getting kernal loading moduel errors for virtualbox-guest-utils. I am running vm so i do need that package right?
I have the error:
virtualbox no kernel 4.5.4-1ARCH headers. you must install them to use DKMS
and found this on arch
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/linux-ck/
for the moment I have uninstalled virtualbox-guest-utils and am running with no errors
So this is now a 2 part question, which AUR manager do you suggest and will the linux-ck help me for virtualbox error, or do I even need vb guest utils?

nah, extensions just ruin the Gnome Workflow(c) the way the developers intended(tm).
Better to learn the shortcuts and forget you're even using Gnome. I usually just use super+first letters of program I want to start, and super+left/right/up/down for tiling.
No need to ruin the minimalism with a dock or another menu in the top bar.
Although I can understand people who change the GTK theme, it's just not for everyone

can confirm that searx.me is a great replacement for google.
The best thing is, it doesn't do this thing that google does, which is to guess what you meant. If you search for an unclear term it doesn't attempt to correct your mistake (try searching "turtle kid" on searx and google for an example).
This forces you to actually use it as a search engine and not a personal assistant/AI brain extension.

No I did not install anything from the aur minimal at moment. what I thought I needed was linux-ck to make virtual box utils run, as I was getting errors.

Fedora is very nice. It's my favorite, personally.
The main thing will be to fix font rendering which is very easy to do with google. If you need mp3 you will need to get that working too. Other than that it just works. Dnf is a very nice package manager, in my opinion. It handles dependencies much better than apt.
>>54874252
when I said "netstat | cut | iptables or something in a for loop" I meant something like a for loop to forward all unused ports (and I just now realised how bad of an idea that is)
how do I do this in only iptables and without loops?
there has to be something like a last resort rule or a last layer

netctl is arch linux's own minimal network manager. Networkmanager is the mainline network manager included in most systemd based gnu/linux distros.

>>54875155
Are you running them as root?
>>54874077
I'm using Arch and not Gentoo myself. Keeping a directory with your own PKGBUILDs and just occasionally running "makepkg" in them is simple enough.
>>54875119
It's useful for sure. It exists as a separate distro because some pentesting software has unnecessary complex ways of updating.
So kali devs just throw it all together on a stable and working base system (debian iirc) and release updated ISOs.
You burn a new ISO (and by that upgrade the whole system) once the old becomes so outdated you can't comfortably use it.
Kali Linux has a stigma of being a distro of choice of various skids.
I'd say the edgy dragon logo contributed to it a lot.
If you want distro with similar purpose that's sounds a lot less edgy, there's always the "security labs" spinoff of Fedora.
But even then it's devs advice to use it from a LiveUSB and not as a regular installation.

They arent updated,unless you manually update them your self, grabbing the entire updated source to then build, unless its a git/svn/bzr.This is the whole point of AUR.
Sure make a git pull script that loops for every dir and pkgbuild them to a seperate folder then then just update from that folder.

>>54875043

>cant be accepted
Tell your program to uses ports manually,and then if it dosent use those ports redirect it to the second host.
Read the iptables wiki.

For most things I use the terminal, but if I want to move a bunch of folders at once nautilus is the better choice. Just drag and drop.

I recall reading about Stallman being awarded two large sums of money (one from some japanese fund/company iirc).
They summed up to something like 1,5+ million dollars, but I might be wrong
So considering the fact that he's a president of the FSF (which gets donations) and his ascetic lifestyle (he uses a 60 USD chinkpad and most of his expenses would be travels, but they're probably covered by whoever invites him to make a speech)
...You could assume he's rich.
Not megacorp-exec tier rich but he for sure has enough money to spread his philosophy till his death.

Yeah I know. That's one of the sources I know about FSF financing. But the data is from 15 years ago I think that with the release of GPLv3 they've been falling out of favour. For some reason corporations aren't very comfortable with their anti tivoization clause.
For the last 3 decades or more FSF's work revolves primarily about dealing with licence violations.
Read about FSF vs Cisco case and with Cisco being a part of the american military-industrial complex I can imagine it takes lawyers to deal with stuff like that.
What else of value can FSF produce other than lawyers specialized in licence violations?

Do you think it's easy to prove a licence violation when the institution doing the violation of a GPL code KNOWS about GPL and will do it's best to make sure noone files a case or possibily win one?
Get a grip man, if you think FSF's lawyers do not deserve the truckloads of dosh they get for waiting for someone to report a violation just don't donate.

Are you capable of engaging in a meaningful discussion without resorting to regurgitated memes about how much FSF merely existing hurts your feefees and how GPL threatens your freedom to restrict rights of other people?

It restricts my freedom to control how my software is handled, the one that i have spent thousands of late night hours. And some uneduated disgusting, peophile, shit eating psycho, is some how in a better position then i am?

I'm on xubuntu 15.04 and every time I turn on kate after a couple of minutes it infornms me that kactivitymanagerd has stopped working. The weird thing is that it seems that nothing is affected by this, even though the prompt looks serious enough. Heck, not even googling the problem yields anything.
Anyone else has this happen to them?
>>54877520
you have the freedom to put your software under any license you want. If you disagree with the GPL you have every right not to use it.
Are you going to respond to this or are you going to troll some more?

Currently on Debian, my wifi X220 and the drivers work.. it's detecting all accesses points, but still I connect to anything.

Should I go with Debian as my first distro? I've played with Ubuntu in a VM before but I'd rather use something else and Debian seems like a good choice.
>>54877601
I am assuming you replaced the SSID with 'x' yourself?
Why not use networkmanager by the way?
Anyway:
wpa_supplicant -D nl80211,wext -i wlan0 -c <(wpa_passphrase "your_SSID" "your_key")
Not really sure why you would do it like that though.
>>54877756
Debian is nice.

if you're not using pulse then it's probably the program taking over the alsa interface
I'd recommend installing pulse, especially if you are playing music from a variety of programs

>>54877756
Top consumer distro's are Ubuntu and Fedora, I'd wager.
Both use either Gnome or a Gnome spinoff by default, so you might be interested in trying KDE too.
In which case perhaps Kubuntu or the KDE spin of Fedora?
If you're on Windows, then I'd suggest using Rufus to keep restoring a different live image on a USB stick, then boot up to the live environment. Have a feel around, see if you like it.
>>54877796
Hmh, I do have pulseaudio installed. It comes with ubuntu 16.04. Dunno why this is happening. Must be a problem with ubuntu itself since the last lts version had no issues with sound. maybe they'll fix it in the future
>>54877807
I'm using networkmanager, how do I call upon the netctl package on debain? Because when installing NM I didn't see anything like you're describing. Or maybe I just missed it

What you failed to understand is that I was perfectly aware what articles you referred to when regurgitating your memes and you having saved links to every single one of them to make posting them convenient doesn't make up for the lack of argumentation.
And yet again you failed to form a a valid argument.
You constantly shift between "FSF is a cashgrab!" and "GPL restricts my freedoms to limit rights of others!" and "Well RMS is a weirdo just look at the completely unrelated to the licensing business stuff he wrote, nasal sex with dead plants?, OMG".
What I fail to understand Is what motivates you to doing this over and over and over and over again every day in every thread.
I mean it's not like groups antagonized to RMS/FSF/GPL don't have their own little places to cirklejerk right?
Seeing that discussion with you always results in bunch of strawmans and ad hominems being addressed at anyone trying to enage in a discussion with you I will not reply to your next post.
>>54877947
Good luck with that.

I'm downloading Ubuntu to a usb for live boot to verify that my Sata connection isn't fucked up. What am I in for? Never used Linux before.
I've heard you have to install wireless drivers and stuff manually. Or does ubunutu come with some basic ones pre-installed? I'm currently using a PCIE wifi receiver because I can't use ethernet until I move out of current living space.
What should i install on my T410s, would love to have drivers for the fingerprint reader and the touch screen.

Stallamen is a mooching peice of shit, that contributes nothing to society, and wants to piggy back on Linus' accomplishments instead of going foreward and creating something new.
What else has he done in his life, outside of GPL?
He has no claim to fame outside of a heavily restricting license
>but but but you're restricting MUH RITS
They have the right to not use my software.Not the other way around.GPL is FORCING people to blindly fall for the gpl, and not understand what it actually means in the end of the day. All because it gets fame from the stallmanists and hey, all these devs are pretty cool guy,and dosent afraid of anything, why would i question the writers of so many programs that i use?

I personally dont want anything to do with a pedo and i will never use GPL as it is a risk to my wellbeing. It does matter what he does out side of GPL.He is the for front of GPL and FSF.

So, I'm thinking of installing a patched kernel. -ck and -zen seem promising. Which one is better? -ck seems more popular.

Are there any benchmarks on Zen performance? -ck is 2-8% performance increase

There is nothing in the docs with this error,as it isnt an intended issue, why would they not supply an answer in their man page,,or even better yet, fix it, if it was working properly?
>>54878213
I'm on Arch and it works flawlessly. You probably fucked something up on your own. Stock kernel, stock ufw, no additional tweaks apart from installing ufw, enabling it, enabling the systemd service and using it.
>>54878148
modifying the program won't help (unless the modification involves porting it to another toolkit)
the file picker is a function of the gui toolkit, so you'd need to modify THAT to change it
>>54878335
Why are you bothering with those files? Don't edit them manually, use ufw's commands to add rules. If you want to manually edit them, use standard iptables instead.

Fedora vs Debian sid?
Was looking for a rolling release really. Don't care too much about how free/open source software is treated. Just want a stable, up-to-date experience.
>>54878407
sid is not stable
fedora is not rolling release
generally speaking, rolling release and stable are mutually exclusive
I would go with fedora as it is close to upstream, but still vetted, and easy to upgrade in-place between versions
>>54878448
Yeah I knew fedora wasn't rolling, but afaik it's fairly up to date in most area.
Fedora sounds fine then, thanks.

The couples are kind of interesting. They are refereed to as twisted pairs. Essentially any current creates a magnetic field and by twisting them around the two and sending a matching current in the other twisted pair the effects of the fields counter each other.
You need to read wikipedia for a start. The NIC probably breaks everything up into packets and sends them when it can to be reformed on the other side.
