What's the best viewer for mango and comics? I've been using mcomix fine, but it doesn't have infinite vertical scrolling. Reading through some cropped vertical panels has been really shitty.
Jaxon Nguyen
Bump for similar interest Well you fucked up the command. Use Rosa Image writer this time
Dylan Clark
zathura is usually good.
Jack Bell
You want ahoviewer. Install ahoviewer.

The USB I was trying to write to was either sdb or sdb1, and I chose sdb1.
Gabriel King

Hey Sup Forums, what's the best lightweight and user-friendly distro for daily use?
Joseph Sullivan
Can I try again with this USB, or is it broken?
Chase Sanchez
About that memory usage I was wondering, it's possible to lower it after installation removing some boats? Mostly on Gnome. If not then maybe it's better if I give up Apricity and settle with Kubuntu.
Jonathan Sullivan
this distro yes.... i helepd you you help me
Chase Cooper
Mint
Sebastian Wood
Arch
It's not broken
Check your background applications from gnome-task manager. Remove the bloats afterwards
Levi Barnes
Kde is more heavy. Look into htop to see how much is actually used and how mhch is just reserved before buying into the ram memes.
Camden Powell
T-Thanks I guess. Here's a (You). Would I need to config? Debian Sid's Zathura is super minimal. I forgot about it, but I do build it every day. It doesn't have what I'm looking for and for some reason, it doesn't scroll with my arrow keys. I don't think it's ahoviewer's fault, but the problem is still there. That looks nice. I already have a chinese tablet however. I think 8 american centimeters is tool small for mango, but that's just a preference.
Have a cute Hishiro in return.

Hi /fglt/, I need your help finding a distro for a practically computer illiterate person. They only need it to browse facebook/instagram, watch netflix, use libre office, and download/play music.
Would ubuntu be best for this? I want it to be difficult for them to break anything on accident.

As long as you configure it for them, explain stuff and stay available most would work. Debian stable, buntu lts...

Jaxson Hall
it's actually perfect, display is the highest res of any ereader on the market (I think, it was not too long ago) and the backlight is perfect. It looks much better than any other digital display, has an SD card. It's like they made it specifically for manga and comics really.
Ryan Reed
Stop.
Sebastian Turner
you have complete power over me you can make me stop simply by helping me!
Joseph Morgan
>it's actually perfect It is not, user. I can't view anything in color unless it's color E-ink. I don't think that's going to be cheap anytime soon.
Ian Murphy
who reads colour mango?
Ethan Fisher
It's not always color, but there is color sometimes. Covers and full color mango come from time to time.
Colton Phillips
pleaee consider helping.... my fingers hurt seems like the post got lost somewhere so i'll repost it

Carson Hughes
wtf? stupid poster! why did you insult me? please don't reply to me i'm sick of your antics i know you're a fucking gentoo guy sitting there and waiting for me to contact you using these channels. I see right through you mate there's no need for this. please don't try to trick me when I'm merely asking for help... Please
Alexander Wright
Devuan, too retarded for Gentoo Nobody's going to help you with your tech support issues, get out and ask somewhere else please friendo
Dylan Cruz
no i'm sure you are a gentoo guy. I'm not giving my IP out that's simply not what I'm interested in doing. >Nobody's going to help you with your tech support issues you could literally dismiss 90% of these threads with that logic yet I don't see you doing that. why are you so logically inconsistent?
please help by the way my fingers are fucking broken not even kidding

Any one has experience with AMD's crossfire on Linux yet?
Thinking of getting a new build soon.
Jacob Lopez
I actually did write a reply when I saw your first post but after you bumped your question twice in the time I was writing the reply I decided not to post.
Evan Sullivan
Yes. I'll tell you if you reply to this question. Somehow I really doubt this 'mane' You would've just posted it now if you were a good friendly poster but if that's not the case it's not like I really want an answer from someone of your kind. I've also made it abundantly clear that I will not stop until I get an answer well, the only condition is my death so yeah, not happening any time soon keep on going though. I really believe you there's no reason to doubt you whatsoever
Is gaming not a thing on linux simple because most devs don't cater to it? I mean, as far as drivers, proprietary stuff like DX and hardware support goes, if games were made to run on linux would they generally run just as well as they do on windows?
>tfw my internet is so shit captchas keeping timing out
Daniel Taylor
It's not but if you answer this I'll make it a thing
Easton Davis
Seems like the post got lost somewhere.
Here's my problem:

How is AMDGPU/AMDGPU Pro on Linux? I've been running a 970 or more than a year, but I was eyeing for a better card + 120Hz 1440p monitor. Doing a sidegrade to a RX 480 is very silly, but I'm curious on how it fares to see what I could expect from Vega or Navi. For instance, can you plays your gaymes with no problems? How about emulation? Nvidia has the superior drivers, there's no doubt, but I'd still like to know some external sources outside phoronix for AMD.
Michael Jones
>120Hz 1440p monitor pick one
Elijah Davis
see if your not going to help than see look at
Nathan Allen
Why? Can I not run a 1440p high refresh monitor? The one I'm eyeing is a 144Hz IPS with freesync.
Jacob Peterson
export PS1="\n\[\e[1;31m\]\A \w \[\e[0m\]\n "
is the grammar correct?
Luke Rivera
Well there are many videos regarding gaming on Linux. But the most plausible thing is to passthough GPU
Can you give me some good monitors as examples?
Christian Murphy
You can Now see Yes it is indeed correct is that C? also pls see sure here's one good monitor
Mason Morales
>But the most plausible thing is to passthough GPU I'll eventually do it, but given that I'm still on a 3570k, it's not happening anytime soon. Maybe I'll upgrade to Zen if it's worth it or Skylake-E.
>Can you give me some good monitors as examples? Pixio PX277.
Jacob Smith
>Pixio Is this some chink shit?
Eli Barnes
Yes. It's Chinese.
Elijah Williams
hey guys can you see my posts? yeah so pls look at
Colton Hughes
When is zen coming
Christopher Roberts
I believe so. They use a similar Acer panel as their own and put on huge bezels.
