Is there any way to use mostly proprietary software on Linux? I can't stand Windows or Mac but I hate this "free" shit.

Have you noticed that every /fglt/ (or Sup Forums in general) goes to shit as soon as americans come back from school?
Everytime I have a day off and hop on Sup Forums during the Euro hours you just don't see as many shitty troll theads.
Nathan Richardson
Its a legit argument. If you are so high struck against using closed source,proprietary software, then why on gods earth would you be posting on Sup Forums?
Why do your morals and ethics mean so little?
Dylan Ramirez

Could you fuck off mate? I USE proprietary software. Hell my main computer is actually running Windows XP SP3 (the last good OS ever made).
I just like helping people out with Linux but you have to come here everyday and SHIT ON FUCKING EVERYTHING. NOONE FUCKING GIVES A SHIT that you don't like RMS. GO TO HIS HOUSE AND SHIT ON HIS DOORMAT.

Running Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 on a Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 14. For some strange reason, once I watch a YouTube video, the sound won't work in any other program than Firefox. Sometimes the icon even disappears from the panel, but usually it stays there and does nothing out of the ordinary. I have to restart the computer to fix it. It happens in Cinnamon, too, so it's not a GNOME thing. Could someone help a guy out?
Also, is there a newbie-friendly distro that runs both GNOME and Cinnamon well? Because Cinnamon runs just fine on Ubuntu, but GNOME runs like ass.

Trying out MATE for the first time. It's actually amazing, it's so impressive. They actually manage to somehow break every single part of their operating system. It is truly an amazing feat, it's as if their is an AIDs cancer virus that just goes through and just breaks fucking everything all the time. How do they do it? Truly impressive.
What the fuck are these autism arrows in my scroll menu? Why do I feel AIDs cancer seeping into my pores through my screen whenever I use any of the abysmal themes included? Why are they fucking homosexual bubble sounds trying to ear rape me whenever I click on something? Why is the panel so fucking shit to configure?
Holy fuck I thought Xfce was bad because of the shit compositor, WM themes, and buggy panel.
Charles King
>>mfw all freetards in this thread right now spout killing proprietary software,but they are using a close source proprietary imageboard software
lol why are you this mad? why do you even care about compositing? I just don't get it. Typical anime lovers. Good god.

Gavin Wright
I used it for a long time because >muh GNOME2 look and feel. When I checked htop and the piece of shit was eating 1GB I immediately uninstalled it and tried lightweight WMs until I was comfortable with Openbox. Fuck DEs, there's no reason to eat up 1GB of my memory just to handle my windows when WMs do it in 18MB.
Aaron Roberts
idk why Sup Forums has converted from technical discussion into >who BTFO who ;_;
maybe age verification can solve the problem
Cameron Collins
>">" in the middle of a sentence >muh LMAO fucking go back, "mate"
John Hill
>why do you even care about compositing? oh I don't know, maybe because I like when I don't get massive screen tearing every time I scroll down in my browser or move a window?
And I'm not mad. It's truly impressive how linux developers manage to break every single individual part of their OS so bad.
Alexander Turner
God fucking damn, I posted in this thread because I thought I might be able to get some help with my problem (). But considering how quickly this thread went to complete and utter shit, I think I'll have better luck reposting in the other, full thread.

Joseph Cruz
Isn't it interesting that the GNU haters are also the most annoying shitposters in these threads?
Hunter Moore

Grayson Collins
Mostly closet wincucks
Leo Harris
>annoying did I hurt your feelings? kek sorry, i'll be more polite next time! Could you fuck off mate?
Evan Scott
I'm guessing pulseaudio is fucked up for some reason. Maybe Firefox is forcefully trying to use alsa even though pulseaudio is installed. I have no idea how to fix that though
>redditor I don't even have an account there and I just read askreddit once in a while because it's funny to see people giving their life away. In any case, I come from Sup Forums and from gaia online before that. An oldf/a/g might have some beef with me, but not a Sup Forumsfag like you.
Michael Morris
Time for your another ban LOL NEET autist
Cooper Rodriguez
So basically you're admitting that you're a redditor then. Are you ok user?
Justin Cooper
>did I hurt your feelings? Sort of, reposting the same stale cancerous bait every thread in order to BTFO people who want to discuss [TRIGGER WARNING]GNU/Linux gets boring pretty fast
Owen Carter

Cameron Rivera
How come on Linux you can update programs without interrupting service, how do they do it?
Gabriel Flores
>gaia online >redditor What the fuck are you on? If you mean about askreddit, I only go there once in a long while and just read. I haven't even made an account and don't plan to. >implying you're an oldf/a/g >implying you didn't show up after ZimZam got FlimFlammed
Looks like fun >qt5 based >made to take as little resources as possible
Bentley Watson
Because the running process will still be the old version until you restart it. What Linux does is load the whole executable into RAM and load it off there instead of streaming from disk as it needs like Windows does.
Zachary Jackson
>i go on reddit yup, that's a redditor. Now go back, we don't need your kind here.
Grayson James
>I'm guessing pulseaudio is fucked up for some reason. Maybe Firefox is forcefully trying to use alsa even though pulseaudio is installed. I have no idea how to fix that though Thank you. Since Mint doesn't come with pulseaudio by default, would it have this problem? If there's no other option, I'll give up on GNOME and stick with Cinnamon if it means I don't have to restart my computer five zillion times a day. Or is pulseaudio something I want no matter what?
Levi Barnes
Not all programs. If you update firefox a copy of its older version is always loaded on memory. When you close it and if the memory gets rid of FF, it'll start the latest FF
Not even BSD fags try it
Jaxson Gray
>a redditor openly admitting to being a redditor i guess it's time to leave this site.
David Roberts
So the average 12 year old kiddo that goes on Sup Forums once a year to get fap pics is a 4channer? Damn that's a weird definition.
Refer to last quote. Also this isn't a sekrit club and it hasn't been in around 7 years, long after I came here.
Well yeah, you do want pulseaudio since alsa is kind of fucky and some apps don't allow it to work with multiple apps. What pulseaudio does is mix all the sound together and send it to alsa as one stream.
Jace Ramirez
How can you see details about which program use cache memory?
Jayden Perez
Should I link future potential employers to my github profile? I only have some Python and Bash scripts there for now, one of which is used to bulk download webms from Sup Forums. No meme answers pls.
Leo Nguyen
>says he goes to reddit >is somehow not a redditor Are you being retarded on purpose? Back to your subreddit
>python Fuck off to >>>/dpt/. We don't need your kind around here.
Gabriel Butler
Depends. If your emplyer needs server side python then by all means link it
Matthew Mitchell
>download webms from Sup Forums Don't. Seriously don't. No normie (which interviewers mostly are) views anything related to Sup Forums as positive. Maybe if you modify it to include some other pages.
I didn't say I go to reddit every day of my life and waste 50% of my income on reddit platinum or whatever the fuck it's called, I go around once every 2 months to laugh at retards on askreddit giving away enough data for someone dedicated enough to find them.
>python >/dpt/ Stop shitposting anytime.
Cooper Walker
>Refer to last quote >damn >sekrit As I've said I don't want reddit stink nearby. Fuck off.
Adam Reed

Tyler Hughes

Jaxson Ward
>damn is now considered a redditor word Jesus christ, Sup Forums has fucked up this site real good. Is the average user under 12 years old yet?

Eli Kelly
>uses nothing but new file names >is somehow not a redditor Why do you keep denying being a redditor? Fuck off.
Angel Campbell
>thinks he is a "cool" "Sup Forums" "hacker" who find people's info If I was a "cool" "Sup Forums" "hacker" I'd be all day on Reddit blackmailing the retards that openly talk about the shit they've done, not here on consummerism general discussing anime thinly veiled as programming threads.
>goes to reddit and is somehow still not a redditor Are you a hospitaler since you go about once or twice a year for checkups?
>pretends to not know how a feature is called yet explicitly mentions it I have no fucking idea what it's called, all I know is they have some weird system that's like a super ebin upboat :^) that they charge for.
John Turner
That's not me you nigger. Also how is using new filenames a redditor thing? The average Sup Forumsfag hasn't been here over 2 years and they aren't even close to a redditor. You'd have to wait for an oldfag thread on Sup Forums to see the really old shit.
Bentley Hill
>im so cool i can blackmail people like the hackers on Sup Forums do >tries to use late 2016 """"'Sup Forums """"' """"'slang """"' to appear as a native I want to see the reasoning why you're not from reddit, which you obviously are. >I have no fucking idea what it's called, all I know is they have some weird system yeah sure, lmao. you mentioned it by name and now you "pretend" "not" to know it >Also how is using new filenames a redditor thing? either a newfag or a redditor. either way, back to the shithole you came from. >The average Sup Forumsfag yup, that's most likely a redditor. (just like you)
William Reyes
Do you have mental retardation? I'm telling you pretty clearly I'm not a 1337 h4ck3r 4 t3h lulz.
>either a newfag or a redditor I came from gaia online in 2006 or so. I'm not the one that posted that picture but I don't have any pictures older than 2010 because I lost them several times over fucked up hard drives. Also this is FRIENDLY GNU/Linux thread, not FUCK ANYONE THAT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE AN 3P1C OLDFAG TO ME.
Ian Brown
>1337 h4ck3r 4 t3h lulz >3P1C you couldn't have outed yourself as a redditor more succinctly if you tried >pretends to be an """"old""""f/a/g >doesn't even know local memes what are you even on about? fuck off back to your subreddit. >I'm not the one that posted that picture but I don't have any pictures older than 2010 because I lost them several times over fucked up hard drives post your two oldest anime pics now or it didn't happen.

Thanks faggots. I wish you all death.
Gavin Moore
>brb guys editing filenames right now xD Yeah sure, redditor. Back to your subreddit. I know you are reading this faggot. Your redditry is so blatant it's impossible to hide, just don't post here and go back to your subreddit
Lucas Morgan
The fuck is wrong with reddit again?
Connor Baker
call me when this is /flt/ again kek i can somehow feel like all the shitposting will stop momentarily...
Jace Flores
>so fucktarded he doesn't even know the context of the meme he posted delete your account
Henry Anderson
>Protip Normal people don't care. It's mostly angry BSD cucks
I deleted ur mums account last night XD
Samuel Morgan
Wait, are you that guy from the thread a while ago who said he had "algorithms" to determine if someone uses Reddit speech patterns or something?
Nolan Sanders
I am not at all an organized person, I had to search like a motherfucker for these. In fact I'm not even sure it's from Sup Forums, it might just be from some other shitty chan clone I went to at the moment.
Noah Hill
need a tissue for the tears?
Nolan Miller
no. this is not an """"old""""f/a/g image by any stretch of the imagionation. this is an image pulled straight from reddit. post something better or you will be branded as a redditor.
John Perry
Do you have them ready for you?
Matthew Carter
give me your address mate
Adam Long
At ur moms room
Juan Gutierrez
i don't need any "algorithms" lmao i just know when i smell redditry. p.s. - you're one too. >meme is a meme meme meme in meme ok, sure.
William Campbell
>pulled straight from reddit I had a good, long chuckle. If you google it you'll find the oldest thread it appears is 2013 (likely the one I got it from). Nice b8, Sup Forums. Also, reddit doesn't even have an image hosting, they leech off of imgur like the textonly fags they are. You don't even have to go to reddit often to see that, just go once in your life and you'll notice it's all links to other pages, no original content at all.
Joseph Morris
need a tissue for the tears?
Sebastian Lewis
post the second image, redditor. i commanded you to post two of them. >they leech off of imgur like the textonly fags they are >they nah, mate. you're one of them. now fuck off back to your subreddit. >just go once in your life a redditor trying to convert me to his kind. how cute lmao >that cunty poster literally the dumbest post
