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. 1) Use a live image and to boot directly into the GNU/Linux distribution without installing anything. 2) Dual boot the GNU/Linux distribution of your choice along with Windows or Mac. 3) Go balls deep and replace everything with GNU/Linux.

yeah ive seen this fuckeR!! just shot a few bullets right through his nose LOL!!
Sebastian Adams
1. Is anyone running an alternative init system other than systemd? 2. If so, with what distro? 3. Is systemd literally an nsa backdoor?
Thanks
Chase James
The problems people have with systemd are not about security, it's more about its design. Systemd is free software.
John Rivera
I want a unicode hostname. How to set such a thing? If its not possible, how to make any instance of the hostname(in the shell, polkit authentication agent, etc etc) appear as some unicode
James Reyes
yeah, openrc gentoo linux nope >using meaningless meme gnuwords like "free software" remove yourself from the gene pool

Free software means software that respects the user's freedom.
There are four essential freedoms that the user of software should always have:
Freedom 0 is the freedom to run the program however you wish. Freedom 1 is the freedom to study the source code of the program and change it to make the program do as you wish. Freedom 2 is the freedom to distribute copies of the program to others when you wish. This includes republication of the program. Freedom 3 is the freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions to others when you wish. This includes republication.
If you have all four of these essential freedoms, then the program is free software, which means that the social system of the distribution of the program is an ethical system that respects the freedom and community of the users.
If one of these freedoms is missing, then the program is proprietary software, meaning that it keeps the users divided and helpless, and gives the developer power over the users. This is an injustice. Proprietary software should not exist and should not be used.
If you want to have freedom, the only way you can have it while using computers is by rejecting proprietary software.

didnt even read your shitpost go die somewhere lol

Does anyone use clang as their default compiler in Gentoo? Apart from having a gcc backup environment, anything I should be wary of?
Carson Gonzalez
Has anyone taken a look at GoboLinux?
I know there are aspects of it that can look a bit offputting at first (like uppercase letters in the naming convention) But when you get right down to it, it actually looks like their design solves tons of issues with Linux package management.
It's not a very popular distro at all though so I wonder if I'm missing something here. Is there some glaring problem with Gobo that I'm not seeing?
Is it possible for such a setup to still have dependency hell? You can install any number of different versions of applications and libraries, but it uses symlinks for backward compatibility and has a "Current" symlink for the version being used. Could GoboLinux have its own kind of dependency hell due to that fact?
Brody Thomas
I'm made a script but it always asks for my password due to the sudo command, is there a way to have the script input it automatically? I always have to download the library every time I start the program due to some 64 bit fuckery
>I always have to download the library every time I start the program due to some 64 bit fuckery That's your actual problem. Stop writing bad workarounds.
Owen Ross
Sometimes other people use the computer, so I have multiple accounts. Or is there a way to have the script always run as root? New to Linux
Zachary Cooper
Well the program doesn't support 64 bits. Don't want to switch to 32 bits just because of this.
James Cruz
If you run it at regular times you can just set it as a cron job for root
Jonathan Howard
>answer to the question asked make it a setuid program.
>whole situation what the fuck are you doing senpai
Evan Wood
I'm tempted to. Don't think anything bad should happen if you have a gcc fallback
David Butler
Perfect just what I was looking for! The program doesn't support 64bits... And I'm too much of a retard to get openConnect working
Parker Morgan
Meh, had to reinstall my system. I guess i'll try to update this time without changing the kernel.
Benjamin Russell
>Perfect just what I was looking for!
You should know that the setuid bit is ignored for shell scripts (all interpreted executable actually). So when I said "make it a setuid program", I really meant write a C program that calls system() for everything needed. So, uhh, bust out your K&R I guess.
Seriously though, your problem is a symptom. You should fix the actual issue, not construct crazy fuckery to work around it.
Austin Collins
Linux, GNU, Arch, Debian, Systemd any more words to avoid in /fglt/?
Mason Murphy
sex
Colton Price
basically any distro name
Luis Gomez
Well fuck me then. Again the problem is that the program doesn't support 64bit distros. I'll try to get openConnect working, until then this is letting me keep working...
Hunter Bailey
>using this piece of shit "distro"
Cooper Barnes
nice meme, can I save it?
Angel Thomas
>using this piece of shit "kernel" >not using based Windows NT
Anthony Scott
"BEST"
Aiden Harris
What is the original problem you're trying to solve (what you "need" openconnect for)?
Why does your current solution "fix" the problem you originally posted? (you can have multiarch / different arch versions of the same library installed, as well as lock a package at a specific version so that newer versions are ignored)
Why do you need to re-install the library every time?
Jordan Ross
No fucking clue why I need to reinstall the library every time.
I need this to connect to my work VPN. It's a Juniper VPN.
Samuel Sanchez
What distribution are you running?
Lucas Reed
ATM Mint. Tried it in Ubuntu but same problem.
Ayden Reed
Void, Solus, Alpine, LibreSSL, Lennart, Pottering, runit, open rc, devuan
Enjoy the distro you are most comfy with, user See picture

Huh, something strange happened when I upgraded to debian sid. tty1 just sits on a blinking cursor forever and accepts no input, but all the others work fine.
Oliver Myers
i think i just got cancer from yur post please fucking delete it before someone suffers the same fate
Dylan Wilson

Adam Sullivan
Is Antergos a good distro?
Xavier Richardson
enjoy your aids
Austin Sanders
stupid gook get off this japanese website
Oliver Green
its shite
Benjamin Hughes
Why?
Oliver Hill
ㅋ ㅋ ㅋ ㅋ I will. enjoy your trigger.
Easton Reed
it has no reason to exist its like a fucken gnutard
Ayden White
leave this japanese website stop defiling it with your ugly gook presence
Caleb Scott
>it has no reason to exist
I still don't get it. Why do you think it has no reason to exist?
Jonathan Edwards
i am obligated to stay if you continue responding.
Anthony Sanchez
it literally has no reason for existence when arch (also shite) exists
Christopher Howard
@57566368 fine by me just don't use gook "letters" japanese and traditional chinese is also fine
Julian Roberts
Yeah, one could say Antergos is just an Arch installer.
And why do you think Arch is "shite"?
John Reyes
@57566381 How about 'no'?
Jackson Hill
KYS weabous
Thomas Torres
< ｀∀´> kill all jap

Luis Lopez
death* Fucking laptop keyboard. lol! didn't see that one coming haha!
Daniel Reed
>dictionary.com/browse/un-dead >adjective >no longer alive but animated by a supernatural force, as a vampire or zombie. cool, cool
Christian Rogers
that doesn't make sense 'mate' it just does not make sense that un + dead would be something dead it just means your alive this dictionary is obviously a fake!
What's a fast and lightweight distribution of GNU plus Linux? I've tried Arch and Debian so far. Preferably something a little more user friendly then Arch and without Systemd please.
