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.

Understand that much of your software from Windows will be unavailable, although maybe WINE can make up for it.

My Wifi drivers are working, it's able to detect access points like it should, but I cannot connect to anything. Any suggestions?

Let me get this straight you feel empowered because your OS features a fucking thumbnail viewer? Are you a graphic designer? Is that relevant really? I'm a nooblord here, but i'm fairly certain I would be more concerned with other things than ascetics, you know like how my operating system is operating?

Use xfce then rice. Xubuntu is the best distro

So for real, is a gui that shows thumbnails that important? Does anyone do everything via command line?
Owen Cook
They started to tryhard and created 30 desktop threads / board. Then they got banhammerd.
Brandon Torres
You only hate me because I'm a girl

What distro/DE are you using?
What is the output of ifconfig | tail?

Do I need to revise my male privilege checklist? If you are using Xubuntu try this: 1. Log off and sleep 2. Log back in 3. Enjoy no mouse cursor

gnome devs had a vote to decide whether they should represent the GNU operating system.
FSF as a "minimal efforts" from GNU-derived projects requires "avoiding representing proprietary software as legitimate".
Guessing from the fact that GNOME STILL is part of the GNU project (gnu.org/software/software.html) I'd say this vote didn't go to well.
Jaxon Smith
So? How's your "best distro" going? Did it forget to show your mouse cursor? lmao
Nathan Jackson
I'm using Debain, no DE. However I'll go into Xfce if I can't fix this issue.
Matthew Walker
A couple of weeks ago. Mods never commented on anything, they just started silently deleting desktop threads. As far as I know, none of their tripfags got banned, though. That would've killed the threads better than any amount of deleting them.
Christian Parker
Good. Desktop threads were anime cancer.
Xavier Barnes
>So for real, is a gui that shows thumbnails that important? When you're trying to upload photos, yeah, it helps a lot. As an XFCE user, I have to admit it's one of my biggest gripes.
This is also stupid. Hitting ctrl+alt+f1, ctrl+alt+f7 isn't a big deal for me, but the fact it made it into a fucking release in this state is completely fucking ridiculous. Like, I literally don't understand how you could fuck that up.
Joshua Peterson
That's actually great news. No more anime wallpapers perpetually on the front page.
Hudson Walker
I agree that they don't belong here, but not because of anime. See
Tyler Richardson
Is writing code that would let you see thumbnails that difficult? Is there no happy medium distro that let's you do everything that seems good about XFCE AND this simple feature?
Carson Reed
>Hitting ctrl+alt+f1, ctrl+alt+f7 isn't a big deal for me, but the fact it made it into a fucking release in this state is completely fucking ridiculous And people call it "the best distro" haha
John Watson
Oh, yeah I've had nothing but a complete shit show of a time connecting to wifi without a DE.
Adrian Butler
Should I be using JACK or PULSE? I've always used pulse but someone JACK got pulled in as a dependency and took over automatically when I killed my PULSE daemon. Don't notice any sound improvements but it does fuck with my tray volume control in Cinnamon. What do?

It's not an anime site anymore you fucking idiots, Sup Forums is for variety of interests. Keep your shitty cartoons on your shitty board.
William Rivera
Does anime offend you. Like anime lolis?
Joshua Foster
Japanese website, primarily created to discuss anime, owned by a japanese. You cannot be this much retarded. >Trip cuck Oh wait

/fglt/, stop being faggots. JUST DONT REPLY

>It's not an anime site It's not a television site either and never has been, yet you're not crusading against people who use Sup Forums screencaps like Just go fuck off. You're clearly just shitposting and you're not even good at it.

I don't even like anime but dis nig is right.

Everyone in here right now discussing weaboo shit needs to off themselves or go to the appropriate containment board.
Wyatt Green
>Is writing code that would let you see thumbnails that difficult? Apparently.
>Is there no happy medium distro that let's you do everything that seems good about XFCE AND this simple feature? Distro? No, they'd have to change the code of XFCE itself. If you mean another DE, then no, not that I know of.
Jeremiah Jones
Guess who started it
Jacob Powell
No tits, no girl advantage. You are useless
Asher Miller
>containment board Tell that to everyone who mentions anything related to a career here, that shit belongs on /biz/. Or tell it to everyone who asks a question here, that shit belongs on /adv/. Anime discussion doesn't belong here, but that doesn't mean anime images don't belong here.
Gavin Sanchez
I will not flash my tits you disgusting perverted manchild.
Isaiah White
When you bring up gender on Sup Forums.. What else can you possibly expect? And what does that even have to do, this is Sup Forums, not Sup Forums.
Excellent. Would you recommend XFCE for basically anything else? I'm too embarrassed about my OS and am looking for a good distro, hence joining the thread. I have Kali Linux r5 via vmware, but I think that's not ideal for day to day use.
Ryan Lopez
That's cause you don't have any tits
Blake Martin
I didn't even see those posts since I filter tripfags like any well-adjusted person should do by default
Nicholas King
did what? bricked how?
Alexander Sanchez
You know you want to
Lincoln Richardson
why not? it's still the exact same website. what's changed so drastically that the discussion boards have become containment boards? drop trip you worthless child
David Gonzalez
>I have Kali Linux r5 via vmware, but I think that's not ideal for day to day use. Oh yeah. Never, ever, ever use Kali as a daily driver, it's not intended for that and has awful security (made for offense, not defense).
>Would you recommend XFCE for basically anything else? I like XFCE for what I do, but it really is a personal decision. Try out a bunch of live distros in a vm for a few days each, see which interface "feels" best for you. Unless you have specific requirements (e.g. low resource usage), they can all be customized to how you want anyway.
Jaxson Richardson

anyone can huname readable intruduce me into fifos? I'm using lemonbar as panel, packed with a bunch of scripts and therefore it updates pretty slowly. Now I've seen some people use fifos for this. What the tits is this shit.
Aaron Martinez
Sue me
Leo Hill
Jesus christ would you fucks please stop arguing with each other over fucking anime? Nobody gives a shit.
If you don't like anime, scroll past the fucking anime and move on. If you don't like tripfags, filter the fucking tripfags and move on.
Same thing goes for attention whoring and misogyny. Nobody is convincing anyone, so please just shut the fuck up already.
Christian Watson
Amen.
Mason Smith
Well if it's possible, I'm willing to do it. A link to a guide will be very appreciated.

Hey guys, question for laptop owners
I was running tlp recalibrate on my Thinkpad while connected to AC power. It was draining the battery and then proceeded to start charging it past my 80% threshold to 100% for recalibration.
However, the power on my house went out for like 10 seconds while the second step was happening
This may sound like an autistic concern, but will this mess with the recalibration? Should I start the command again?
Brandon Thomas
start it again yo
Justin Green
Ok. Fortunately it was only up to 10% so it shouldn't take long to do it again
