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.

Does GNU York City have free speech or free beer?
>>54939589
yes
Debian, Fedora or mint?
>>54939696
Debian and Fedora yes, Mint no

>>54939696
You won't install neither of those. Even if you are, you'll be installing it in a virtual machine or alongside your Windows. You won't be using it for longer than 10 minutes. Asking such a trivial, meaningless question implies that you're not serious about using it.
If you were, you'd just install them and see for yourself. Explaining the worthwhile differences between them is lost on you, since it won't affect you in any way and for the reasons mentioned above.
Mint is retards that want to look like GNU/Linux pros but actually are beginners that have a hard time installing wine from a guide because the guide has Ubuntu in its name

gtfo with this elitism, everyone is a bloody noob sometime. It's in the community's best interest to help everyone regardless of their previous experience or knowledge.

What did he mean by this?
Did he mean free speech or free beer
maybe both
>>54939754
Free beer doesn't exist there
You need to compile the beer first for maximum safety and security
>>54939750
There's nothing elitist about that.That has nothing to do with being a "noob". It's people having false intentions and asking hit-and-run questions.
I don't get it. What's the point of Fedora? Why people recommend it? It get's alpha software from Red Hat, making Fedora basically a testbed for RHEL software and the "copr" is literally a ghost town, which makes installing alternative software difficult for new users.
Then there are the Freedom guidelines, I'd consider harmful: While the rules are called "strict", proprietary drivers and modules are allowed. Why? One can only guess, it's because making Fedora a distro that "just werks", but if convenience is the goal, what's the point of strict package rules?
It all makes no sense to me, wake me up?
>>54939895
but you don't know anything about his intentions. You are guessing what kind of person this anon is and making assumptions based on that.
My point is that it could be a somewhat clueless IT teacher in a school somewhere, and a friendly answer will lead to 30 students learning with Debian or Fedora instead of Mint, which is very much in our interest.
Even if the majority of people who ask these questions really have false intentions and have wrong expectations of how GNU/Linux distros work, we cannot scare away the minority with a rough attitude.
And I'm all for giving people a rough attitude when it's necessary.
>>54939950
If you use RHEL/CentOS then Fedora is pretty useful to see what is coming down the pipeline.
As for normal home users, Red Hat often makes dubious decisions but they do get a lot of stuff right. For example, enforcing SELinux out of the box is a good idea, and its had most of its kinks worked out by this point. And if you like bleeding edge software, then Fedora Rawhide is about as bleeding edge as it gets.

Total Linux ignoramus here. Can I install a dual boot version if I already have a system partition with Win 10 and another separate partition? I'm also lost when it comes to different distribution. I was recommended Mint, since it's supposed to be most newbie-friendly but I have no idea it that's true.
>>54940646
>I was recommended Mint
Stick with standard Ubuntu. It's by far the most popular distro and easiest to get support for. Mint also has a stigma about security lately.
But to answer your question, yes. Ubuntu will give you an option to install alongside Windows in the installer.
I have a usb drive that reads fine on windows, and I store anime/pdfs on it, and it will load fine on my Arch Linux machine too. However when I put it in my windows machine from my arch linux machine windows explorer crashes while trying to open the usb drive. Does anyone know how I can fix this and preventative steps to stop it from doing this in the future?
This is a repeatable problem, it does it every single time.
>>54940646
Mint is not something i would recommend.
you can shrink whatever partition on your windows is the biggest by the amount you need and leave it empty. most installers will pick it up and offer you to install whatever distro alongside windows.
if you have a bit of time to read the guide, debian is a good choice, fedora is alright too.
>>54940681
Do you have any strange characters in your filenames? Specifically, things like colons or slashes and stuff like that. Windows really doesn't like some of those characters and can't deal with it.
>>54940719
They shouldn't I named all the files on the windows machine. If I let it sit for a while it seems to scan and repair the drive with no data loss. But I have a feeling it really shouldn't be doing this.
>>54940676
>>54940687
Thanks to both. I was told that Ubuntu used to be good but then they sold out or something and now Mint is basically what Ubuntu used to be. I'm not contradicting you, just saying what I heard. Will definitely look into the options you recommended.
>>54940803
What you heard is probably about the Amazon Shopping Lens that was added a while back. It's disabled by default in 16.04, so it's not much to be concerned about anymore.
You're right though. Mint was a fantastic alternative to Ubuntu at one point. That was a while back at this point. Now it's pretty much just a showpiece for the Cinnamon desktop environment, and it's not really worth picking a distro over the default desktop environment.
All modern distros ship with a live environment, so you can try them out before you install. Ubuntu has a bunch of flavors you can try out if you're so inclined.
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuFlavors
Can I use FUSE to create a file that when read will return different data depending on the time of day?
what's a good audio ripper on GNU/Linux? it would be great if it would find the correct tags by itself.
>>54940676
>Mint also has a stigma about security lately.
Well meme'd. Not a huge fan of Mint, but a cracked website doesn't affect a distro's security. Reminds me of the Manjaro SSL meme.
Since this is a friendly thread, we shouldn't feed newfriends with half or disinformations.
>>54941501
I'll just paste what I posted yesterday because I don't feel like typing it again.
Yes, that's obviously a problem. They can't even secure their own servers, let alone your desktop. But there are other reasons. They also don't issue security advisories, because they don't know anything about security. They delay security updates because they're too incompetent to push them out immediately without breakages. They actually have a package blacklist[1], where they specify that some packages are never updated. Anything with a 4 or a 5 on that list will not receive updates by default. Like your display server. And the Linux kernel.
All of this so you can get a pretty theme for Cinnamon out of the box. It's disgusting that you would actually recommend Mint to a new user.

>What is wrong with Ubuntu?
IMHO Ubuntu isn't GNU/Linux anymore. It's just "Ubuntu". Canonical is trying to avoid "GNU" or "Linux" as far as it gets. Their goal is market share on the costs of freedom (the opposite of what GNU/Linux is intended to be). They lie to the users (mark proprietary software as "free"), teach them to value convenience over freedom and they clearly crossed the line by shipping Unity with Amazon spyware. I know it's turned off now by default, but is that a valid excuse for even shipping such things? Reminds me a bit of Windows users excusing themselfes: "You can turn it off". It may not be completly the same, but at the end, when a user wants to switch to GNU/Linux, he shouldn't be faced with all this crap.
But that's all just nitpicking compared to what Canonical currently does: >>54941575
Don't tell me the Microsoft-Canonical partnership doesn't hurt the whole community.

Hello!
I am trying to install gentoo on my machine. However upon reading the architectures that gentoo supports I became stuck.
It says x86 is supported. So I am guessing my i5 3320m will also be supported.
Am I correct? I have googled "Does gentoo support i5 processor" however I have seen no answers.
My i5 3320m is also x86 and 64bit. And i think the gentoo is only 32 bit. So there is some confusion regarding that as well.
Thanks in advance.
>>54943306
use the amd64 release
>inb4 "i don't have an AMD cpu!"
>>54943306
If you have a 64bit processor you should use the AMD64 release
If you have a 32bit processor you should use x86
>>54943306
if you're looking for "x64", that's a windows-specific term
microsoft fucked up a bit with releasing their first 64bit OS, windows xp 64bit edition, because they were anticipating intel itanium would be the defacto 64bit architecture, but then amd made amd64, which won because it was backward compatible with 32bit x86, so intel started using it as well
so the 64bit x86 in use today is all amd64, intel cpu's included
microsoft made an amd64 version of XP as well, but they couldn't call it "64bit edition" as well, since it's a different architecture, so they came up with x64
sometimes amd64 is also called x86-64 or intel64
not to be confused with IA-64, which is Itanium
>>54943353
What if i use the x86 release?
>>54943332
Wait, I can really use amd64 release for an intel 64 bit cpu? Please provide a reference to documentation that allows this.
>>54943306
just use ubuntu
>>54943453
>What if i use the x86 release?
you can, but it's 32bit, which has the usual limitations
there's almost never a reason to use a 32bit os on a 64bit cpu
>I can really use amd64 release for an intel 64 bit cpu?
yes, intel licensed the amd64 technology from amd

The Gentoo minimal installation CD is a self-stustained Gentoo environment.

⎜ ↳ Logitech G500 id=8 [slave pointer (2)]

I dunno why my mouse is doubled, but id=11 seems to be the right one couse the result of xinput list-props 11 gives more information, but I do not see something like proprty id.

Also I get done with work in 30 minutes so I won't be reading replies after that.
>>54945872
Actually I'm pretty sure you can.
>>54945743
Not stable.
>>54945152
Logitech G500. Yes, it has 3 keys on the left, and one of them is using as win key.

Ok, let me try. One question - should I edit the driver line for mouse in xorg.conf?
>>54945743
They're not for general usage. As the name says, their purpose is testing packages before the Arch devs move them to the main repository.
If you have a serious problem with a package and there's a new stable version available on [testing], you might want to upgrade only that one if you're impatient.
>>54946112
>only that one
Don't do partial upgrades.
Is there something better than iftop?
Any alternatives?

Yaaaay. It works. I have been suffering for two weeks. Thanks.

I used to have one, it worked pretty well
Dunno what you're looking for really
Is there a way to allow pulse to go higher then 150% without manually setting it via pactl every time?
>>54946682
You can keybind them to your media keys (or whatever really numpad should work just fine)
The commands arepactl set-sink-volume 0 +5%pactl set-sink-volume 0 -5%
Your media keys are XF86AudioRaiseVolume and XF86AudioLowerVolume
Go as far as 6 000 000
>>54946737
My headset has a volume scroll on it, im using the XF86 codes via xbindkeys/xmodmap scrolling up 5% as you mentioned.
Should have been more through.
Is there a way to change the hard limiter of 150%, so i would be able to scroll from 0-500%?
I have an.. interesting problem.
I installed Ubuntu Server 16.04 as a VM.
Now, i wanted to try LXQt and installed it. Everything went as it should, but interestingly i have pic related problem.
The VM resizes perfectly fine, but the desktop somehow does not.
Does anyone have an idea how and why one part of it scales and the other not?
>>54946988
what res is your wallpaper?
>>54946988
The panel looks fine.
LXQt uses Openbox as it's window manager, compton as compositor and nitrogen (i might be wrong, it's been a while since i used it last time).
Does it draw windows properly ie. uses the entire area?
If yes, it should be an issue of the wallpaper which isn't refreshed after rescale.
>>54946988
papes are for normies, especially ones that don't support xrandr very well. Maybe you should get a REAL wallpaper setter.
How do I get rid of that black border on xterm?
>>54947312

Where?
>>54947312

Why isn't there a HiDPI compatible WM that isn't tied to a DE? Hell, why do most WMs use bitmap fonts? (i3 is the only one that doesn't IIRC). Are scalable fonts bloat?
>>54947209
Out of the box LXQt. Don't really think that's the problem.
>>54947249
Yes it does. That's what i can't understand.
I forgot to mention, that it opens two different menus on desktop rightclick.
>>54947389
You are aware that you can customize a WM?
Also bitmap fonts are pure beauty.
>>54947389
>Why isn't there a HiDPI compatible WM that isn't tied to a DE?
Because it just draws windows, and you can set the scale of the WM elements yourself.
>Hell, why do most WMs use bitmap fonts? (i3 is the only one that doesn't IIRC). Are scalable fonts bloat?
Most if not all default to bitmap fonts because they exist on every system.
Just fucking change it Christ.

Why don't home folders on Linux have 600 permissions by default?

Because it's retarded.
>>54947568
because we like to execute our scripts, rofl
>>54947568
>600 permissions by default?
What for?
>>54947591
So that other users wouldn't have read access to my files. By default it's 644.
>>54947611

Sup lads which should I go for? Also which environment is that 1337 h4x0r one which I always see people using. It's very minimalist and usually dark with pixelated characters.
>>54947772
Still can't see it man, could you make it more clear?
I was trying to do a Dual boot between Windows 7 and Ubuntu.
Did every step I found. Partitioned my drive with the Windows Disk Manager, created unallocated space of around 30gb, then proceeded to boot into the Ubuntu cd.
However, during installation I got to a point where It asked me ''Install alongside Windows 7'' or ''Something else''.
After a quick search it seemed like everybody suggested the first choice.
Installation was completed but, after restarting, I only had one choice to boot into which was Ubuntu. So I think It erased my previous Windows install.
How do I fix this? Is the correct choice ''Something else'' if I already partitioned my drive before hand?

Then you're about to dive into the depths of a kind you've never encountered before.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Window_manager
>>54947439
if you change it from "stretch" to something else, then back, does it fix it?
if so, it's probably just that the method used by vmware to resize the guest isn't picked up by whatever is managing the wallpaper, so it's not being redrawn
>>54947996
If i change it the wallpaper adapts, but the top left part stays the same.
Doesn't fix the problem unfortunately.
>>54947910
?
I already deleted everything and reinstalled windows tho.
Was going to try again but I dont want to mess it up.
>>54947611
to access the contents of a folder, one must be able to execute the folder
you'll notice your home folder itself (/home/user) is 700, so only you have execute rights on it (and by extension, everything under it)
>>54948096
>to access the contents of a folder, one must be able to execute the folder
No. Only to set it as current directory. accessing content require r.
>>54948062
could be a bug, LXQt is still very new
>>54947861
i thought you weren't supposed to do that.
>>54948137
I hope so. The whole problem just doesn't make any sense.
>>54948096
Thanks.

I just tested it, x is required to do anything with a folder.
is there an arch linux program that makes it so it doesnt burn when i pee after eating my carolina reaper salsa?
>>54948258
>I just tested it, x is required to do anything with a folder.
No.
>>54948131
hmm, you're right, i can list the contents with just r
can't traverse it or access any files under it, though, as expected
read and no execute rights on a folder isn't something i've run into normally

I am trying to route my tethered phone (that shows up on my machine as being directly plugged in as an ethernet cable) from my computer, to my router, which will then broadcast that signal through my house.
How should I go about doing this? I figure I may need to buy a PCIe card that has the capability to output the signal.
Also, I am using Deepin. It's built using Ubuntu / Debian, so apt and all that fun stuff.
>>54948749
What you want to accomplish is outside the bounds of ssh, because it is so retarded, no dev found a reason for it in 16 years of being dev'd.
You cant just hop on the existance session

I dont speak spic so i ignored most of it(LANG=C next time if you want help with your alien speak),but before you bitch, you should run the program in question, from the console, and in verbose mode, further, using gdb after that to find out exactly where it would die out.
