Welcome to /fg/lt/, or as I've recently taken to calling it, /fg+lt/. 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.

pls respond, question from previous thread:
>So guys, I switched from the Nouveau/Gallium drivers to the NVIDIA drivers on Debian.
>I immediately noticed trouble in one area: shutdown used to take like 2 seconds. Now it can take about 40 seconds. Something related to NVIDIA is causing shutdown to hang, hard.
>How can I go about diagnosing this?
>I know dmesg shows the boot sequence, not the shutdown sequence
>Anyway, here it is if you still think it's worth looking at
http://pastebin.com/rwvCdLLv
>how can I configure it to show info on the last shutdown/reboot?

Why can't you /g/turds build one good app to browse dank memes on android? All I get is clover, that, with it's latest update is all green and does nothing when you click on a pic. You click on a pic and shit faced app shows you the thumbnail but doesn't load the actual pic no matter what kinda network you're on. Webms are shit, gifs freeze. Fuckin captcha's don't work or are potato quality to view.
How hard is it to make one decent app for that?
why are you browsing on a small device instead of using a regular computer?
Literally clover. Everything else is just stupid.

Please stop shilling your awful thing
Can someone explain to me why Debian developers are SJWs?
just another shilling false info on /g, the neckbeards forum
Debian has bigger problem than SJWs
>>53950475
T-they are? Sauce on this please, I need to know if I should wipe my servers' system or not.
What are your opinions on brave /g/?
good idea
Shame it'll never get off the ground.
Deader than this thread
Why get and entire new browser when you can just use an adblocker like everyone already does?
So what has open source freedums actually done well? Where it's actually good and not just a "free alternative", like gimp to photoshop.
I know Linux servers are used for superior stability and lower CPU load
>>53949858
firefox, even though it's gone to shit lately
Compilers.
Webkit/Blink
OpenCL
LVM
MPV
Filezilla
Handbrake
Virtualbox
Blender
Krita
Docker
Open Stack
There is more than media creation, just becasue the vocal liberal arts faggots cry about muh adobe doesn't mean there are the only worthwile software.
>>53950211
>Blender
Blender is exactly what gimp is. Almost nobody professional uses it, clearly you're just regurgitating names.
>MPV
Simple shit like media players are mainly about taste. MPV doesn't do anything "better" compared to closed source alternatives, just different. A lot of people would hate the lacking GUI
>Handbrake
>this desperate
It just convert files. I can code a tetris clone in 20 minutes and release it open source, that doesn't mean it's "actually good", it's too basic to even be good or bad if it just does what it's supposed to.
The only viable thing you posted was OpenCL
>There is more than media creation
Yeah, I gave one example in the OP retard. Meanwhile all the shit you posted was mainly media creation.
What cheap chink tech have you bought, and would you recommend it?
Yes, we know everything is already from China but in here we discuss the no/low-name cheap shit you see on eBay, AliExpress, Gearbest and similar sites.

In China many things tend to be poor copies of originals, even Chink Shit Generals are prone to bootlegs.
Don't forget to post pics of your items and review them for use in the pastebin!

The last thread didn't have your personal vendetta pastebin and not a single derailment in the entire thread. As noted previously, that shit is unnecessary and doesn't actually help when you're participating in derailing the thread.

>The last thread didn't have your personal vendetta pastebin and not a single derailment in the entire thread.
It was actually the last two threads.
I think it's pretty safe to call the OP a faggot for posting his personal shit.
i mean like, i guess
Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service is pretty good.
dammit, i was just a minute late, guess mine will be the reserve yet again
>tfw you're becoming a hoarder

That's cute I'm at 6TB and waiting to some new drives
How do we cure digital hoarding.
I have 6 of the same file because I'm scared to delete one because it might be a bit different than the other, and be valuable in some way.
>>53948286
30TB raw represent.
Just copped an iPhone SE
What does /g/ think about it?

Is it using the 6 series or 5 series chassis?

Whenever I try to make a gif, regardless of what I set it as- It will always come out as 10-15 fps (even if i set it as 5 or 30 fps.)
I've tried multiple programs and it happens with each one.
Would there be some sort of problem with chrome (despite being able to view other gifs at their native frame-rate fine) or would it be my computer at fault?
If I send an email to my ISP about refusing the snooper's charter, will they suddenly start monitoring me to see why I don't like the idea of snooping?
How can i connect an HDD from my old laptop to my new laptop?
My old laptop cannot be charged anymore, but it's not worth repairing that old thing. I have some data left on its HDD. How can i save this Data? I guess i would have to remove the HDD from the device and externally connect it to my new Laptop. I could propably do the removing part on my own, but what about the rest?
>After years under a previous regime, several prominent Internet piracy groups have adopted a new set of TV-release standards. The rules will go into effect this weekend, but several groups have already made the switch, frustrating many bewildered pirates who must now play .MKV instead of .MP4 files.
>The new rules are announced in lengthy documents, one for HD and one for SD TV-releases.
>“Since the last revision of this document in 2012, TV-X264-SD has grown and become a major section that many people contribute to and depend on. This new revision aims to update the standards from 2012 to standards suitable for 2016 and the future,” the intro to the SD version reads.
