Ive just installed ubuntu what tools cans I use to make it cool?

Reminder that this is a friendly thread. Rudefigs aren't welcome here.

Extra desktop environments to play around with.

that pc looks funny. do you put AA batteries in the hinge?

How does "friendly" stop me from doing rude? Is it physically compelling me to do so? I am I contractually obliged to do so when I'm using this site? Is there anything that states I can't go against whatever notion of "friendly" you have dreamt up in your head? As far as I'm aware I didn't sign anything when making my first post in this thread.

Don't even consider posting this bullshit if you can't answer all of this.

You are fucking retarded, just saw the second part.
Who defines "useful" here? How can you possibly know if someone is "useful" when he doesn't have an account? What is the objective measure of "useful" that every single poster here has agreed to? I assume I missed some kind of registration process which explains the terms and asks me for my agreement if I want to post here.

And how can you stop me from being unfriendly if I didn't sign a contract with you and I'm not breaking Sup Forums rules?
Please take your retarded bullshit to some other site, reddit.com would be a good choice for someone like you.

Answer this You will be physically restrained from posting here any further if you can't answer this or acknowledge that you were acting like a retard.

Anything more like this?

Second link was meant to be

Oups

>Answer this

heh

Thanks, fucked it up again.

if ms windows turn foss, which is what gonna happen for sure, will linux still be relevant at all?

Have you been drinking?

No, answer the question though.
Why are you evading it? Must be really simple if you aren't a mental retard who is trying to force his notion of friendship upon others.

yes, nt is shit

Maybe if we all stop interacting with the rudefag he will get bored and go somewhere else.

Embrace
Extend
Extinguish

Memesoft is still the same company it always was.

Thing is, I'm not a single person and neither are this "all" you are talking about. You don't represent anyone but yourself and those who have explicitly agreed with you (haven't seen a single person yet)
I will gladly stop if you answer all of my questions. Until then you simply aren't allowed to post here. You can't be treated as person if you don't have the capacity to back up your retarded statements with arguments.

>that filename
take your friendship to there too kek

>retarded
wow rude, go see they will help you to be nice

What are they gonna do though? Absorb the Linux kernel?

Worst case scenario they just plan to make it so they continue to have their version of Microsoft/Linux pre-installed on all new computers and at the same time those of us who want to run GNU/Linux can still run any future spyware they develop

I have this

Still didn't answer the question.
You do realize that if you can't argue your position it's literally worthless unless every single person agrees with it? We aren't a single consciousness so you'll have to be less retarded about the shit you post.

Daily reminder that arch is the best distro

How can I have desktop icons using a window manager like i3?

arch is bloated shit though.

...

No

...

Yes

I have a systemd service which basically triggers a program when my computer resumes from suspend. I have a question about the type of service this needs to be, I currently have it to Type=oneshot but it doesn't seem to be working all the time so I am wondering if this would cause the service to work for the first suspend and not for future suspends because it is oneshot?

...

last one I got.

Explain

What the fuck is wrong with you?

Why do you ask? I don't think there is anything wrong with me.

...

something that doesn't do package splitting cannot be anything but bloated
it might be less bloated than ubuntu but it's still bloat

epic
why do i know you haven't even used it?

Probably for the same reason I know you're a nigger

but i'm not, i'm white. the human kind of white aka not american, north german, slavic, british etc

Exactly.

That would be fine with me. I don't use Windows because it's a pain in the ass. Maybe going FOSS will push them to go more functional than that bloated candy ass GUI they force on their users.

> function trumps aesthetics

so the only other option is - your implying using gentoo can somehow be compared to receiving consecutive futuristic weapons grade laser shots directly to your head
how long have you been "using" it for?

>they force on their users.
In what way?

alternative

>le epic hacker design
kek

...

>he has a windows key

does it have anything to do with kernels?
i don't think so.
it should be a DE key or just a key with "meta" on it

Isn't that thing called Super?

It's the windows key. Made for Microsoft Windows. All other operating systems are basically abusing it for other functions.

My key is still showing the windows logo. Do I need to install something to fix it?

It's called Super key bub

Do you need help? Is everything okay in your home life? This amount of impotent rage and hostility isn't normal behaviour.

Seek help brother.

all keys should be Arch Linux keys

What's the best solution for a couch Kodi / Gaming system?
Is there a DE that works especially well for this kind of thing?

What kind of help are you talking about?
Yeah, pretty much.
Why do you think so? His behavior was completely retarded and unjustified itself.
Refer to my first sentence.

what do ? Is windows just telling me shit and I can just reduce its size using gparted or should I try to find a good defragmenter program for windows ?

Why wouldn't I? It's an operating system I use and love.

I installed arch linux last night without issue. But this morning, my mouse is behaving erratically and is hard to control. Is my mouse dying?

Could installing a cursor theme cause this?

>github
do you have any other purpose in this flame other than being a cancerous cunt with your supposedly witty one-liner responses?

I think installing arch caused it.
Do this:
pacman -R arch

>pacman -R
>not pacman -Rns

Fuckin pleb

...

how would I know? I'm not an arch using retard.
pacman -R should get the job done though

it depends on a lot of things, what DE/WM are you using? Is it bluetooth, usb, ps/2, etc?

I've never had problems with a mouse on arch

Daily reminder that openSUSE is the best diestro ever made.
Stable : Leap
Rolling Release : Tumbleweed

Check........... is openSUSE gentoo?
No.

seems like your wrong somewhere

>best diestro
I'm a lefty, thanks anyways

Openbox. It's USB. I tried rebooting and unplugging and replugging but it's not helping.

This happened to me before on Ubuntu 16.04 with my old mouse. Both were made by logitech but different models. The old mouse died.

But your kind isn't allowed here after the incident. One of your own started biting people around here recently.

how can you bite someone over the internet?

Easily. That guy was using a hacking tool called "Python" I think

Oh no! not python! that sick bastard!

Snake cloaca?

...

...

Then this one is probably dying too.

but that's wrong, pal

No.

Xorg is broken lol

why is your xorg broken? Are you using a shitty distro like arch?
well, then you deserve it

i've fucked up my konsole
changed icon for somke random 900xsomething png and now it wont start
i wanted to change profile but in /.kde4/share/apps/
i tried reinstalling with xterm but also not helping

...

Anyone have amdgpu-pro running on Arch? When I'm trying to get it from the AUR, it's giving me an error saying target not found: amdgpu-pro-installer. I looked for that but couldn't find anything.

God dammit.

>SwagArch GNU/Linux 16.12
>GNU/Linux
Already superior to Arch.

>installs GNU crapware on your system
>better than literally anything
hehe
nope...

wait a minute ! are you that fat autistic bitch ?

>/.kde4/share/apps/
I don't think that's where they are stored any more. Think they are in ~/.local/share somewhere.

>suckless (rather suckmore) shills

do the society a favour and off yourself.

Gentoo or openbsd?

thanks user
