What are some cool thing to add my .bashrc? Something like that scripts that extracts archive or the one that colors man pages.
Chase Torres
how to see ip information ? like gateway etc
Angel Turner
>cool If you search for inspiration, browse some peoples dotfiles or check out commandlinefu.com.
>archives I'd recommend atool. It does basically the same but with additional features like, if the archive has more files than one, it automatically extracts the shit into a new directory instead of shitting up the current one.
fdupes does a very good job; first checks by size, then by hash, etc. findimagedupes is good for finding "visual" picture duplicates.

Ever since switching to Xfce from Gnome I've noticed a severe drop in battery life on my debian machine. What could possibly be causing this (or am I just imagining things?)?
Hunter Robinson
I have around two hours difference between i3 and GNOME/KDE.

ASUS mobo BTW.

I have tried all but findimagedupes, but they dont seem to handle it properly.It deletes files that are unique while leaving behind multiple copies of the same dupe,recursive or not.Is there some switch im overlooking?
I've got 100+ folders of shit i know i have dupes of 2,3 times
William Barnes
Type the directory instead of cd Dir: shopt -s autocd
Make variables cdable: shopt -s cdable_vars
Enable extended globbing: shopt -s extglob
Enable ‘**’ globbing: shopt -s globstar
Disable autocompletition when cli is empty: shopt -s no_empty_cmd_completion
Enable autocompletition for sudo: complete -cf sudo
zsh-like history search [ctrl+up/down]: bind '"\eOa":history-search-backward' bind '"\eOb":history-search-forward'
zsh-like open a manpage for the word under the current cursor [alt+m]: bind '"\em":"\eb\ed\C-y\e#man \C-y\C-m\C-p\C-p\C-a\C-d\C-e"'
Adrian Allen
Set boot method to legacy in bios. UEFI is utter shit

You know that feeling when you have that little snippet of code in your reply box about to ask for help figuring out what you did wrong and then you finally find it and you feel like an ass?

>all these crappy zsh knockoff options that don't work well just install zsh for fuck's sake. you can still use bash for scripts and almost all bash functions will work just fine.
it's $CURRENT_YEAR, there's no need to run antiquated bash crap. just install zsh and be done with it.
Jaxson Baker
>closed source That would imply that free software is about the opposite, "open source", but the opposite of free software is actually nonfree- or proprietary software.
Brandon Foster
have fun playing tetris with your nu-male macfag shell
Isaac Jones
Do you even know what you're talking about... >bash: developed in 1989 >zsh: developed in 1990
Brandon Bailey
>not using esh, shish or rc
Carter Hernandez
who cares when it was developed? zsh has all the modern features, bash has none because bash devs don't care about userspace and only care about scripting.
Cameron Hall
>using anything but ksh93
Luis Martin
bash = negro shell which then means that its worse than literally anything else
Jayden Wright
Fuck off LBJ go back to being dead.
Brody Jenkins
My platter drives are suddenly having horrible read/write performance,as low as 2MB/s. Where do i start looking? Smart and hdparm arent showing any issues, but performance is dogshit
Ian Butler
Weev uses bash
Matthew Martin
lmao butthurt negroshell user in what way does this change my previous statement?
David Price
So wait a second. That wasn't a meme and the bash developer is really black? I can just replace it with zsh, right?
Zachary Rivera
people really care about the race of the guy that code a software? I mean, linux, windows or OS X probably include some black and poo in the loo guys.
I think you better go with temple OS directly
Colton Miller
> really care > Sup Forums You must be new here.
Owen James
>almost all
Lol no.
Easton Lopez
I thought it was just a Sup Forums thing to be retarded
How many of the billion default applications KDE comes with are actually worth using, either on their own or because of how they're integrated into the DE? Or is it the case that they're generally not good at all?
The only reason to install KuckDE are filepicker thumbnails.
Dylan Reyes
I'm doing a Debian install as I want the customize-ability of Arch but I also want something a bit more stable. Should I go for testing or use the stable branch instead?
Gabriel Ramirez

Newfag here who wants to try linux, i can't get a straight answer on google so i thought i'd ask here. Sorry for such a retarded question but if i put an iso on a flash drive should i make it bootable with diskpart or does that only work for windows installations?
Don't even bother. Seriously. I'm switching from this shit OS and so should everyone else.
Parker Green
i just wanna try it on an old laptop faggot stop posting
Thomas Long
Why? Just install XP or Win7 on it. Both of them are infinitely better than any distro you can possibly find. Come back in about 10 years, maybe then Linux won't be such buggy shit
Luis Gomez
i guess. if it's really this bad.
Luis Adams
xp and 7 aren't free and require a third party activator.
Wyatt Wilson
why not make it yourself? it's pretty easy to follow a guide. also there are prexisting open source ones. XP and 7 are by far the best OSes of today, haven't used macs so I can't really say anything but Win7 is most certainly better than Linux
Asher Martin
anyone got wallpaper sized versions of these?
Hunter Cook
yeah, here you go
Hudson Sullivan
Have fun.

thanks user!

I can't seem to redirect my audio to hdmi in mpv. I tried: $ mpv --ao=alsa --alsa-device=hdmi video.mp4 $ mpv --audio-device=alsa/hdmi video.mp4
