what software or workflow do you use to track your projects and tasks? I use

- trello for work (visible by all colleagues)
- trello (2nd private account) for organizing certain tasks in a way I don't want my colleagues to see
- workflowy for keeping track of meeting notes, etc.

anything other than these tend to be too time consuming to use effectively

We just run a gitlab instance and use the issues system. You can assign issues, set milestone dates, tag, etc. It's not the most sophisticated thing, but works well enough for my company.

I have a question, /g/.

Almost every major OS out today is based on a kernel older than many of its current developers, and has decades of legacy bloat so that businesses who use it don't completely lose compatibility.

But... Why?

Why must the inner machinations of the most important invention in human history since the wheel be so difficult to comprehend that even the people who work on it don't completely understand it, if at all? Why does everything have to have such significant overhead? Why can't an OS be designed from the ground up to be as straightforward as possible?

Is an OS of this caliber even possible? Something so simple that even an IT guy could come up with a low-level solution to a problem? Something that doesn't really require much work from the end user because the base of it all has been refined extensively and simplified to the greatest degree possible?

I'd answer this, but I'm just a shitty little normie who's dissatisfied with everything available.

Simple, fast, pick one.

>>53757402
Is it really that simple? I would think requiring the processor to... Well, process less, would lead to better performance. Less lines of code should therefore equal a faster solution.

Unless I'm missing something?
>>
The requirements are too complex.

A text-based OS would be able to do what you say.

A graphical one that needs to be both modern and 30 years old, not so much.

Imagine rewriting C64's BASIC every release, not so bad.

Imagine rewriting the 15GB Windows. Very bad.

Apple has removed Molex from its pool of preferred suppliers and shifted new business to Hirose.

Apple is Molex's largest single customer.

Molex was acquired by Koch Industries two years ago. Koch Industries is controlled by Charles and David Koch, brothers who have donated hundreds of millions to conservative political causes.

I don't understand why misinformed people always demonize the Kochs, as far as conservatives go they're some of the most tame people, Cato is one of the biggest supporters of immigration for example.

And they're not even the biggest fundraisers for political causes, plenty of left-wing Democrats like Soros and Tom Steyer spend much, much more on much more questionable causes (including funding people smugglers in Greece-Turkey right now, or femen in Ukraine & Russia)

Wayland won't be the default display server protocol in Gnome Session on Fedora 24, despite all the hype.
Wayland as default was rescheduled for Fedora 25.

https://fedoramagazine.org/fedora-24-alpha-released/

>We have decided not to make Wayland, the next generation graphic stack, the default in Fedora 24 Workstation. However, Wayland remains available as an option, and the Workstation team would greatly appreciate your help in testing. Our goal is one full release where the non-default Wayland option works seamlessly, or reasonably close thereto. At that point we will make Wayland the default with X11 as the fallback option.

This probably gives Ubuntu 16 and it's Mir display protocol a chance to pick up the pace and attract more people to it.

What do you think?

Below and behold the most ridiculous database solution ever seen.

A Arch database package ( core.db, community.db etc.) is a tar archive inside a tar.xz, with a list of folders, for each package a folder.

Interesting decision making.

My C drive crashed yesterday morning, since then I've been trying to boot a copy of Windows from my bios to install it on a new hard drive that I bought yesterday. I don't have a physical copy of Windows, so I've been trying to launch the installation via a flash drive and burning an ISO to a DVD, neither worked. Any suggestions?

Oh no.

Are you a Linux user wondering about why someone might choose BSD?

I'll give you a pitybump and also because I was curious to know if anyone has tried a *BSD with Vagrant i.e. actually creating a box of a *BSD VM and how it went?

I'm looking to build a little server VM that I'll use for projects but I was using Debian then I remembered how nice FreeBSD was to configure and install, so I might try it again.

Why does both Ruby and Python exist?

They are seemingly nearly identical other than syntax, what is the point of both of them existing?

>>53744535
Know that xkcd meme about how standards proliferate? the same process operates with programming languages
>>
>>53744535
Their syntax is wildly different. That's reason enough: people would rather use the one they like better, and programming languages are not a scarce resource.

Now python and lua, that's a valid pair for this question. I honestly don't know why lua still exists.

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.

Resources:
