Previously on: Welcome to /flt/ - Friendly Linux Thread. Users of all levels are welcome to ask questions about GNU/Linux and share their experiences.
*** Please be civil, notice the "Friendly" in every Friendly GNU/Linux Thread. ***
Before asking for help, please check our list of resources[*].
If you would like to try out GNU/Linux you can do one of the following: 0) Install a GNU/Linux distribution of your choice in a Virtual Machine using VirtualBox or other software made for this puporse for safety purposes. 1) Use the Live ISO (if your distribution of choice has one) to boot directly into the GNU/Linux distribution without installing anything, that way, you can get to experience the GNU/Linux operating system without installing it. 2) Dual boot the GNU/Linux distribution of your choice along with Windows or macOS, this is recommended if you want to know more about the GNU/Linux operating system. 3) Go balls deep and replace everything with GNU/Linux.

Is it just me or is Keepassx2 fucking broken?

Are these one "legal", meaning one can download these without ever possibly having issues with justice?

Please stop trolling. Come to this thread:

Is there a way to make say 7z, read from a file which has passwords in it,which is then read by 7z,and provides passwords to the command if it finds one. Something similar to this: alias 7z x='7z x -p$FILE *.7z'
Alexander Stewart
is the linux userbase shrinking?
i was wondering. i felt it peaked with the ubuntu hype in 2010 ish and now it's declining. probably a to do with the decline of forums and boards in general. everyone's on fagbook and tumblr and the nerds have grown up or killed themselves
Ryder Baker
I'm leaving Gentoo for various reasons and want to try BSD. Anyone know which is better, Free or Open?
Easton Mitchell
this is a troll thread, made to start flamewars and ass come to the actual thread before the shitposting begins:
Luis Bell
Wondering the same. Debian has lost it's charm.
Benjamin Sullivan
Fuck off, self proclaimed king of Sup Forums.
Nathaniel Hill
This. We were here first.
Matthew Gutierrez
What is the best Linux distro for laptop?
Owen Rivera
I just came from the front page but it's obvious that the thread that was made also an hour earlier is the official one. Why would somebody start a general about something that already has a general?
Jonathan Morris
As I understand it, OpenBSD is more secure. So go with it.
Sebastian Fisher
Does arch support steam?
Nathaniel Scott
Of course. Check the arch wiki on how to get steam running
Owen Williams
pacman -S steam

Have you used it? I'd like to ask a few questions.

I want grep awk database in timely manner but my pipe is not picking up the nodal timings. What should I do? Is it because of my libraries or should I do 'll'?

The other thread is the troll thread though. /flt/ has been around long before the /fglt/

How can one be so butthurt? You're the one trolling here mate.

This. I've removed all gnu component's from my machines in favor of busybox.

To understand how bad BSD is, you must experience it for yourself. Also, I lack adequate whatever the opposite of superlatives is.

Why not call it Friendly Linus Thread? :^)

Arch linux is the best linux distro of all time.

Pretty much. t.debbie and sid.

Wtf niggers? Why is this /flt/ and not /fglt/??

Seems this thread is about kernel development. For GNU/Linux general discussions, go

We didnt drink the koolaid.

Why are you so upset?
Ryan Hill
We're not faglets. It's time we part ways, Stallmanite.
Dylan Adams
>tfw every time you run "Linux", you run code made by stallman and commadres post it
Nathaniel Miller
I'm upset because you breeded all this shitstorm with your "It's just Linux" faggotry. This thread is meant to be informative and helpful. Calling it "Linux" is disinformative and asks for flamewars, which isn't helpful.
Jeremiah Powell
>>tfw every time you run "Linux", you run code made by stallman and commadres I don't understand why you want me to post it, but here you go.
Jordan Robinson
How well do games run on Linux? The game I play is osu and it doesn't run that great on my current hardware (i3-2350m, 6gb ddr2), I play with everything "fancy" turned off.
How much of a performance loss am I looking at when playing on WINE or PoL? 8%? 20%? 50%?
Jackson Foster
What is the best SQL database application for linux? I have gentoo.
Nathan Hill
Nope, some of us disagree with Stallman and view his work as shit.
Carson Myers
You're the one bringing "shitstorm" and "flamewars" with your trolling. You should take a break from FSS "if you disagree with our leader you're evil" view.
Nathaniel Long
Whats the best place for a complete newbie to start learning how to use linux? How would i switch from win 7 to linux? Also where can i learn to hack people emails, facebooks, instagram etc?
Wyatt Rivera
You're free do disagree with his philosophy, but it doesn't change the fact that GNU is an incomplete OS and Linux is an incomplet OS, together it's GNU/Linux, or GNU/Linux-libre, GNU/Hurd, GNU/kfreeBSD, or whatever kernel you're running. Do you really want people who are running a different kernel call their system "Linux"?
Isaac Lewis
>Whats the best place for a complete newbie to start learning how to use linux? How would i switch from win 7 to linux? I'd suggest Ubuntu as it is easy to install and well documented. Some people like Linux Mint a lot also.
Isaiah Lee
Head straight for Kali in a VM, my child.
Justin Davis
You are the one starting the flame wars though.
Justin Gomez
Elaborate sweet prince
Luke Adams
Take a hike, hippie.
Isaiah Ramirez
Force yourself to learn how to swim by jumping off the diving board into the deep end. You see kid with linux, it's either swim or die.
Good luck, you'll need it.
Adam Long
Install Virtualbox and within that, install Kali. The process is well documented on the official website.
Hunter Cruz

Very nice, now go back to your off brand general.
Andrew Reed
This.
Brandon Gonzalez
so i can find out everything i need from their official website? I just donwloaded this tor browser for the first time i asm about to go on the deep web i guess.... some do's and dont's please?
# VolDown "amixer -q set Master unmute && amixer -q set Master 5%-" m:0x0 + c:122 NoSymbol
# VolUp "amixer -q set Master unmute && amixer -q set Master 5%+" m:0x0 + c:123 NoSymbol
and the GUI via the Volume Icon in my tint2 bar. As for this one, I don't know how to configure it. I remember trying months ago and it lead to the sound stopping working at all...
but I have issue with alsa fail to troubleshoot so I consider giving pulseaudio a try
Luke Campbell
I'm not really sure what you're saying. >alsa Put the following in your ~/.asoundrc pcm.!default { type hw card 0 }
I am having some issue with the sound (the speaker of my laptop randomly stops. Restarting alsa does nothing. The only way to "fix" is to reboot.)
I tried looking at the logs but there is nothing interesting in journalctl | alsa , nor in dmesg.
Since I don't know how to troubleshoot, I am trying to escape. i was thinking that maybe using pulseaudio would magically solves the issue, but I'm afraid I won't be able to control the sound anymore should I do a mistake.
In my previous post, I described how I am currently controlling the sound, and that I fear about my gui volume icon to stop working.
Luke Clark
Did you check the Arch wiki? They have a very thorough write-up on this topic. No offense, this is a very difficult topic to get a handle on when it chooses to be problematic.
Maybe there's something behind "the speaker randomly stop working, even after restarting alsa" but without logs I'm a bit lost.
Aiden Ward
Sorry if this doesn't belong in this thread, I don't spend much time on Sup Forums. I'm looking to make the switch to linux but still need Windows for gaming. I'm probably going to make the switch to W10 soon before the free version is unavailable, but I want to make sure that the privacy of my machine isn't compromised.
If I have W10 on my host machine and use linux in a VM, is it even worth it? Or is it worthless and all the spyware that comes with W10 will affect VMs as well. Unfortunately running W10 in a VM and using GPU passthrough isn't an option as my CPU doesn't support it, otherwise I would do that.
Jaxon Peterson
It's a mess that we all wish would go away.
Parker Ward
Just fully use Linux and dont worry about it. Grow up and stop gamming
Ryan Turner
But I'm a child user I need my video games.
Cameron Cox
You should be safe in a VM, encrypt your Linux home folder too, for added protection.
Hunter Baker
I have heard things like W10 taking screenshots of your desktop and sending it to MS servers. Is that bullshit, or something that can be disabled? If not, does that also not affect VMs?
Jackson Gonzalez
>/flt/ sure summer is here
fucking trolls everywhere
Jeremiah Richardson
Or is it one troll talking to itself? A look at the posts seems like a retarder guy spilling random shit.
Jordan Morales
...
Andrew Sullivan
Well fuck me. Dual boot it is then.
Robert Phillips
...
Kevin Campbell
Can you dualboot? It is easy to do with ubuntu, it appears more delicate on arch (dunno, I never tied). A linux parition can be quite small compared to what is needed by windows.
This, or you can have separate hard drives (that's what I do : I have linux on my ssd, and I swap to a windows hdd when I need skype or software only available on windows)
There's a "stop liking what I don't like" retard ITT. There always one of these that come shitposting in linux threads for some reason.
Dominic Cooper
>Sup Forums
Connor Williams
quit memeing and go back to your safe space.
Jack Martinez
Please don't derail this thread. Your trolling is obvious and unfunny.
Jeremiah Jenkins
Yeah, that's my plan now. I should be able to fit all my windows stuff onto my c:\ drive and 1tb drive and leave the 500gb drive i have for linux. Haven't decided on which distro though. Obviously Ubuntu is talked about for beginners a lot so I might go that route, or just straight Debian although I'm not quite sure what the benefit of that may be if I do.
Eli Perry
That is plain mean. You started this thread after another was already up to start a flamewar. Accussing us of what you do is pure evil.
Justin Stewart
/flt/ was first and then trolls/literal autists started spamming /fglt/
Charles Williams
In case of doubt about the system's name, just ask the system itself.
You can delete this thread now and head over to the actual friendly thread:
Jaxon Williams
Some people like to call it linux for short though.
Easton Bailey
whoops, correct link:
Ethan Thompson
So you ARE starting a flamewar
Apparently a mod is involved user, because in your post it doesn't show a link to the other thread, only a link to this one. Can't you see it?
Hudson King
So anyway, where does all the hate for systemd come from?
Michael Thomas
If you're searching for a short name, just say GNU since Linux is just a kernel some people even don't use.
