>still assuming your complaining/questions were real If you do decide to do a "net" install of Slackware, when you get to "SOURCE" in the installation menu, select http/ftp. put mirrors.slackware.com as the hostname (IIRC you are not supposed to put a trailing slash) and then for the next question (location) put slackware/slackware64-current/slackware64 (again, don't remember if you need a slash at the beginning or not, it should tell you) if you want 32bit slackware put slackware instead of slackware64, if you want the "stable" 14.2 release instead of the "rolling" current, replace current with 14.2

Ubuntu is linux for hipsters. Too stupid to actually use it, but edgy enough to not want to use Window$.
Jace Thompson
Source Mage is basically Arch/Gentoo for hipsters.

ubuntu unity is more like os x linux mint is more like windows

Most meme distributions are meant for hipsters. That much is obvious.

Asher Hughes
Does anyone here actually run Source Mage?
Dominic Baker
Can we do install SourceMage together Sup Forums? with screens ofcourse
Sebastian Ward
No. It's just memes. And the fat spamming autist who is pushing for it is probably too stupid to run it successfully.
Josiah Walker
This. Like all the anti-arch memes, they are all perpetuated by idiots who can't even get xorg to run successfully. If you're that kind of person, you shouldn't even be using Linux at all, stick to Windoze or faggotOS.
Levi Rivera
Is there any way to use a block device remotely? I've got a diskette drive on my old PC but that one can barely run an SSH server without shitting itself, having to look for files on it would probably be slower than just base64ing files into the other PC.

Yes, but if you post pics you get bullied.
Cooper Edwards
I miss the guy who would shitpost about how his was the only "free" OS because he used his own kernel and everything. that was more entertaining than this sauce mage faggotry
you mean like nfs? or mounting it over the network without having it mounted on the physical device it's attached to?
Thomas Torres
b-but muh hipster cred
how will these hipsters tell their other """CS""" peers that they are so much more superior than them if they don't run ubuntu?!
Nicholas Carter
Export the block device directly over the network? I've never heard of someone doing that, but I suppose you could hack it together. Why not just mount the disk and share it over NFS or SMB?
Jeremiah Turner
You're lying. The only reason you're not posting pics on an anonymous chink web zone is because you don't actually have a successful Meme Mage installation.
Carter Sullivan
you get bullied either way
go through some of the previous threads, yesterday he boasted about how gay his package manager was and how he managed to build a kernel
Easton Thompson
The thing is, I also need to be able to dd images into it. I'm currently just scp-ing files over and doing it over ssh but I was hoping someone smarter had already run into this issue.
David Rivera
Is opensuse good? Is its package manager good? Is yast actually useful or a meme?
Jeremiah Reed
no, install sourcemage
Chase Wilson
I love memes :D
Luis Wilson
I used it for about 6 hours and found it relatively decent. It had some interesting features and the package manager/config utility reminded me of another very nice distro. I wouldn't use personally but the only thing really wrong with it is systemd
Hudson King
I think you could create a NFS share and add a symlink from that directory to to the block device. Then you might be able to dd through NFS. Don't quote me on that, I've never tried it, and some weird kernel think might fuck you. Try it and let us know how it goes.
Luke Richardson
me too :D
Dominic Martin
Do you even have to ask? The most popular distribution on here is Ubuntu. Think about that for a second. Do you honestly think people here give a shit about your meme linux, you fucking faggot? The guy spamming this shit is just a sad lonely idiot without anything better to do.
Robert Wilson
I tried it for like 5 minutes nearly 10 years ago. I remember it fucking me because it would overwrite my xorg.conf and this is when it was normal to have to edit that to get your display working properly.
If you like redhat style linux systems, you probably won't hate suse.
Nolan Peterson
>The guy spamming this shit is just a sad lonely idiot without anything better to do. As apposed to the sad lonely idiot feeding trolls?

SuSE is fucking easy to install. YaSt is awesome. Maybe you should give up linux.

>The most popular distribution on here is Ubuntu HOW DO YOU KNOW THIS??? did you hack us?
Dominic Russell
you seem mad bro
Easton Cook
I () had tried it 12 years ago and it wouldn't even install. The new releases are very polished and YaST does have some nice concepts, like being able to save an system install configuration and then using it to quickly set up an identical system on many computers, and a web interface to simplify remote administration.
If you don't mind systemd and want a "professional" enterprise-ready Linux distro and don't want to use Red Hat and are German and a sysadmin, it's a solid choice.
It was not as easy to install 10 years ago, trust me, but neither was any distro. Linux has come a long way.
Parker Parker
maybe you should give up life

>Using Source Gayge when you can use Void Linux

Elijah Nelson
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
Nicholas Carter
What's the absolute oldest GPU Linux supports directly without using VESA? I'd guess it's the few Voodoo cards that still have support, or some S3 Virgin card, but I'm not sure.
Alexander White
No, you're an idiot. SuSE fucking up xorg? That's literally fucking unheard of. It's one of those distros that just werks. Either you've never used it, or you're just being an idiot.
David James
Let's discuss systemd.
Kayden Hughes
SuSe is shit, give it up.
Nicholas Ross
no
Alexander Jackson
why? what's wrong with systemd?
Justin Sullivan
no
Oliver Gomez
No, because most people who complain about systemd don't actually use it or have ever used linux. Not to say it doesn't have flaws, but it's impossible to talk about it here on Sup Forums, because everyone is a fucking idiot.
Carson Clark
It didn't fuck up xorg, yast would overwrite my custom xorg.conf with perfectly valid config, but without the options I needed. So after every x11 restart, I'd be back to VGA resolution, and the config UI did not have the options I needed.
I never said it wasn't easy to install. I don't remember having any issues installing it back then. Just the config issue so I switched back to whatever else I was using at the time.
Dylan Hernandez
no
Aaron Hernandez
I'd rather discuss Trump.
Jose Wood
>everyone is a fucking idiot. rude
Elijah Brooks

Ian Sanders
I thought Void was a meme, but now I'm genuinely curious about the whole point behind runit. It's like why have 6 (7 if you count 0) runlevels and use 4-5 of them if you can have just 3. runsv looks like fairly straightforward too, just splits up start/stop scripts into separate files and keeps track of status and pids and stuff like that automatically, right? is musl better than glibc? is it a way to jab at rms by making the software on Void be even less based on GNU? I would be behind that.
Michael Long
Exactly
Jaxson Rivera
no
Oliver Ramirez
...
Noah Evans
oh I'm sorry I thought that since you use a specific Linux distribution you would at least understand the things that make it different from others, how they work, the comparative benefits and drawbacks, etc...
Brody Sanders
I have the exact opposite view point to you, rewording your post,
No, because most people who like systemd haven't actually used anything else. Not to say it doesn't have positives, but it's impossible to talk about it here on Sup Forums, because everyone is a fucking idiot.
>I like the philosophy behind it (BSD like,modular, user control, also no systemd). I've only ever used Windows >also no systemd >I've only ever used Windows
The hate of systemd is based entirely on memes around these parts which is fucking idiotic and pathetic.
Blake Evans

This is /fglt/ transmitting an emergency broadcast, we are experiencing technical difficulties due to some systemd shilling.

Aiden Ramirez
>people who complain about systemd don't actually use it or have ever used linux no, the people who complain about systemd have been using Linux for many years before it became the de facto standard and actually valid complaints because it changed just about everything about not just the init process but things that shouldn't even be part of the init system, most of it for the worse. It took a lot of power and simplicity in basic system administration away from the user by claiming to be "more convenient" and "easier to develop on"
Lincoln Morgan
xbps > pacman all made by one autistic dedicated dude can easily compile from source or install packages no systemd hipster factor
William Foster
You'd think people who deal with computers and IT to be rational and logical, but I guess that's too much to ask from autists on Sup Forums.
Camden Torres
>is musl better than glibc Politics aside, glibc just works. Building a system with musl is way too much work and isn't worth it for internet points. A prebuilt system might be good, but I've never seen anyone here use it.
musl is a lot easier to read.
Christopher Bennett
>musl is a lot easier to read. the word "musl" or the musl source?
Bentley Murphy
I tried to install a package from outside the repos using xbps and apparently to do so you have to create a private repo, build the package into it, the install it from there, which feels like a lot of extra work. I don't really know what I'm doing though so I could be wrong.
Josiah Kelly
I don't understand why people shit on SystemD. It's a stupid idea but at least it works. Pulseaudio is awfully designed, it's the most stupid idea ever, it doesn't work, and yet every application out there uses it even though there's Jackd which hasn't ever given me or anyone I know a problem.
Tyler Walker
The source. Compare a file in glibc to musl, you'll see what I mean.
Matthew Thomas
Shitty creator The sketchy way major distros rushed to switch over
Grayson Smith
You fucking idiot. People here on Sup Forums only shit on it because shitting on it is a meme. If you were to ask any of these idiotic faggots what they really think is wrong about systemd they wouldn't even be able to begin to tell you about it.
