Previously on: 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.

general information. HitlerLinux[tm] is a free proactive antigay linux operating system shipped under the GML (Gay Mutilation License (related to the GPL)). It's installation comes on 11 DVDs (1 install and 10 DVDs for a unique 1200 gigabit serial key), or optionally 237 CD-ROMs (beat you, SuSE!) or approximately 106 thousand floppys (if you want to order HitlerLinux on cd-rom or floppy you have to notify us 5 weeks in advance). It comes with a filesystem and directory structure unique to the linux environment and a modified linux 2.0 kernel.

the one in gnome is not too bad. is sway still being developed?

I saw that someone is trying to break the board's rules by using a script that mensions all dubs and trips, etc.. when he announces that he created a new thread. I'll break it 3:)
I will also release the program used to generate those numbers under the GNU General Public License v3. /* checkem.c * generates numbers that will (hopefully) be mistaken for * "GETs," to help stop this autistic phenomenon that's * beginning to spread on /h/ */
How long did it take for you guys to stop being perpetually confused and lost with Linux?

sudo dnf install @kde-desktop
Adrian Scott
Believe me, dear Windows/Mac user, you are the one who's lost and confused.
Nolan Barnes
Thanks. Turned out I already had it installed, just didn't realize that I had to manually switch to it upon login.
Nathaniel Hall
got a decade with it, on and off at the start, but more on nowadays.
feeling better with it, but i'm always learning something new, be it a new program or new way of doing what i was doing before. it's great actually, just takes perseverance to stick with it.
Nathaniel Gonzalez
a few weeks i think.

I'd beat the shit out of you in real life. I'd knock you for a loop so hard, that it'd be infinite and you'd crash.

My muscles will render you an imbecile after I pummel your fucking skull in, at which point you'll be small, and stupid.
John Taylor
I'm pretty sure I can beat you in a fight irl.
Eli Brooks
when Distrowatch says that xfce Manjaro is considered the mainstream version as opposed to the KDE one what does that actually mean?
Samuel Hughes
>I'm pretty sure Oh, you're pretty sure? Pretty sure based on what, hmmm? Exactly. Kek. You post about your intellectual superiority and then make a vacuous post such as this.
I'm pretty sure that you're not nearly as smart as you'd like to believe, and that's based on what I've said in this post.
Michael Roberts
Look, I can stay here wasting my time talking to you, a person I will never meet IRL, tell me that you will "pummel my skull in," or I can just ignore you, report you, and tell you to shut the fuck up, and get the fuck out. This is a friendly thread. If you don't like GNU/Linux, and you have no intention to learn it or anything, then you have absolutely nothing to do with this thread. Go back to your miserable slave life.
Matthew Allen
>If you don't like GNU/Linux, and you have no intention to learn it or anything You could also stop talking out of you ass and acting like an insecure child.
I want to learn GNU/Linux. That's why I'm in this thread. I asked this question just so I'd know what to expect. And while you can say "this is a friendly thread," the fact remains that you responded to my simple question with hostility, like a child, perhaps thinking that post was made with derision or something. I don't know what your fucking problem is.
Ian Jenkins
>Believe me, dear Windows/Mac user, you are the one who's lost and confused. You call this hostility? Well, sorry if I offended you.
Austin Murphy
Your apology is accepted.

What did I do wrong? All I did was change the system font to terminus now the taskbar is gone as well as my dock and nothings responding it stays the same after reboot. This is mint I installed yesterday
I used the ubtuntu installer on >thinkpad-scripts.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guides/getting-started.html and folding the laptop into a tablet shifted the screen sideways fine now, when I used the screen flip my screen went black and I ended up restarting my laptop the page says this is a known bug but I don't understand the fix mentioned for it, it's over my head

Yesterday I posted a problem with ncmpcpp visualizer "not working" it turns out it only works with FLAC files for some reason, is there any way to change it?
You'll need the codecs for them. The reason the flac ones work is because it's FREE.
Nathaniel Rivera
So basically I need to pay in order to get the visualizer work? I kinda don't understand
Isaac Phillips
Free as in freedom, not as in "gratis" (Free speech vs. free beer)
Bentley Miller
Free as in freedom
Brody Anderson
oh I see I see
Asher Price
FLAC was available because it's FREE so it was bundled with your distro, so the non-free ones couldn't be bundles and thus weren't.
Hunter Hill
So what codecs I'm gonna need to get this thing to work?
James Garcia
What kind of music do you have? MP3 most likely, and AAC (M4A)
Aiden Lopez
MP3 and some m4a.
Isaac Mitchell
mp3 aac vorbis flac
That should be about it for the standard mix
Jaxson Lewis
I have already those codecs except for vorbis
Connor Brown

I want to learn about penetration testing just for fun. I used Ubuntu at school for a while but only learned basic commands and shitty simple bash scripts. I have a 1.2 GHz 2GB RAM laptop that I don't use anymore so I can format it and install some distro in it. Should I learn first in ubuntu or is it better to jump right into Kali? I know some Java, C, php and a bit of cisco networking (I don't know if knowing something about programming and stuff affects the decision)

>idgaf about free as in freedom woah son, tread carefully here.

Just go with Kali.

Gtfo, nerds. I'm going to use my computer how I want to
Cooper Mitchell
ok. Where can I learn how to use it?

If I want to write a free version of unrar, how would I go? Reverse engeneering?
Also: Let's say the project is finished, wouldn't it encourage users to coninue using rar?
Thoughts welcome.
Matthew Edwards
>Also: Let's say the project is finished, wouldn't it encourage users to coninue using rar? i guess that's the reason why nobody already did the job
