btfo'd 'em lad mate

I have Ubuntu. Can you tell me how to do it?

>沖縄

>using google translate

example of what you're talking about?

Use this
sudo xkeyscore --hack --ascii -t screenfetch
sudo screenfetch --accept-hack -p [path to your image]

>沖縄
yeah a place where mostly Sub-Humans reside

>using google translate
huh? i'm not sure what you meant by me using google services

...

oh, add --png or your format name in the first command here then

How to install screenfetch? I'm using Arch Linux if it matters.

emerge screenfetch

I saw someone in the last thread using Devuan. So is it basically Debian without botnet?

zsh: command not found: emerge

>huh? i'm not sure what you meant by me using google services
are you going to play retarded?

xD

nope, i'm going to deny using google services as i haven't been using them for a long time now

sudo emerge screenfetch then.

Hey Sup Forums, what's the best lightweight and user-friendly distro for daily use?

>sudo
if he needs to use sudo to run emerge on Arch, he obviously has $PATH problems that need to be dealt with.

Windows 8.1

stop it faggot, it isn't even remotly funny

He said distro, not linux distro. Windows is a distrobution of the NT kernel.

Lubuntu

Debian

I have same torrent in Deluge and Transmission.
When i start it in deluge, speed is ~0,1 mega
When i start it in transmission speed is ~1 mega
What is problem user (they are not working at same time)

How do I get neofetch to work?

neofetch --work

Hey Sup Forums, what's the best lightweight and user-friendly linux distro for daily use?

Devuan MATE

GNU/NT

Why is this subreddit so toxic now? Is it because the GNU tards invaded?

>subreddit

Knoppix

Okay so I'm having some focus troubles in ubuntu. For whatever reason, it likes to focus on the taskbar at random and kinda ignore the application i have open, even if I alt tab into it. I try and work with fixes, it seems as though it wants to click behind my actually opened tab instead of inside it. Any ideas?

>GNU tards invaded?
they've been occupying since the beginning.
the thread will probably settle by Monday evening.
keep in mind that its only 12:50AM UTC or early evening in america plus its halloween weekend.
or americans are getting holiday even earlier for """Thanksgiving"""

what happened to the hackintosh gen

apple dropped real unix because steve job's autism so there's no point.

why are all operating systems basically unusable these days

Gentoo with KDE is pretty usable.

very debatable

as long as you dont poke it with nvidia drivers

they moved away from the "make it work" to the "make it look pretty" way of doing things.

If you visit the win10 feedback hub 90% of the "bug" reports are GUI issues about a pixel being off by one.

This, I ordered a 280x because my maxwell card with nouveau was so fucking glitchy under KDE.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

who is that guy

Linus Torvalds.

Richard. No one likes you, you unwashed fagoot.

thanks, He looks better clean shaven desu

>desu

baka senpai

SCREENFETCH

Emacs, then run screenfetch and cmatrix inside it.

abiword to write poems in ^.^

aol desktop

Gentoo, the operating system.

gentoo is just a distribution of the gnu/linux operating system

Gentoo is a meme, fuck off.

skype, chrome, flash, steam, sublime text

...

Whats the best distro to run as host for security and anonymity?

gnu.org/distros/free-distros.en.html

Any distro that you can't get networking to work.

>security and anonymity
windows
they'll think you're just another sheeple

thanks, I'll use debian then.

No, you can run gentoo with the freeBSD kernel, and without all the GNU utils except gcc.

Thanks.
Anyone of those I can play vidya with?
(I will be browsing with Whonix in a vm)

I'm thinking of either Trisquel or Parabola.

Is Blag any good?

You can install whatever you want but it doesn't change what Gentoo is in it's default state.

>This page is a joke, it should not be taken seriously.

fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/FreeBSD_kernel_integration

blag is nice but they seem to be down a lot. the links to the ISO's has been dead for two months now.

Gentoo doesn't really have a default state. It's like a meta-distribution.

Try Trisquel, it's works out of the box.

>fedora page is related to gentoo
wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Gentoo_FreeBSD
No mention of jokes here.

>fedoraproject.org

I think the austim from the last thread spread. I read freeBSD twice and thought the first one said fedora

kek

I cannot fully use Linux because libre office cannot grammar,or spellcheck.Why does libre office hate me?

Stupid question of the day:
What is the proper term to use in bash scripting, do I "declare" a variable or "define" a variable?

i use "define" or "set"

install hunspell-* for spell check
substitute * for the language code you desire

Why does every single weechat config I try to copy has broken colors? Do I need to define something in my xresources?

help declare

lol

Does that mean "laugh out loud"?

I'm using Arch, btw.

Why are you using Arch? I'm using ubuntu/debian myself. Should I be using arch too?

>ubuntu/debian
Ubuntu or Debian?

A combined version of them, it said Ubuntu/Debian. I guess it has the ease of use of Ubuntu and the stability and security of Debian.
