Previous thread:
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 macOS. 3) Go balls deep and replace everything with GNU/Linux.

Still better than Windows. If I would post the flaws of Windows, Sup Forums would complain about max lines / post.

Arch is just a stepping stone.
Jonathan Green
Just installed diablo 2 and there's a weird bug. I got this weird white layout when I play. If I make a screenshot you see the picture normally as if there's no bug Other games runs fine. I got this bug with playonlinux (1.9) and wine 2-3 stagging It works fine un windowed mode
Leo Fisher
Did you just make a screenshot with your phone?
Bentley Cox

towards?
Oliver Stewart
I will, just give me some time to regenerate the graph and to upload (it takes more time than you may think).
Logan Taylor
Except for the backdoored isos, eveything else is still valid.
Jose Sullivan
Nothing. He doesn't know what he's saying.

>I'm on Arch Linux damn, I wish'd I could use it too, but the install process is just too hard for my noob skillz ;_;
>I installed it using arch-anywhere.org/, it's pretty easy. These boards are for the support of Arch Linux, and Arch ONLY
If you have installed Archbang, Antegros, Chakra, Evo/Lution, Manjaro, Whatever, you are NOT running Arch Linux. Similarly, if you followed some random video on YouTube or used an automated script you found on a blog, you are NOT running Arch Linux, so do not expect any support, sympathy or anything but your thread being closed and told to move along.
Arch is a DIY distro: if someone else has done it for you, then showing up here asking to have your hand held for more help is just help vampirism and is not welcome. >bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=130309
Carson Myers
if you're asking, you probably answered your question already
Sebastian Campbell
I got tired of reading those links. I'll just have to depend on my 15 years experience using linux to keep me safe. Thanks for trying to educate me, though. You seem like a real nice guy.
Leo Green
I'm probably gonna buy a new computer soon. I use linux 90% of the time and was wondering if it benefits a lot from an SSD.
I never felt like I would actually need one but I never tried it so I don't know if I'm gonna feel any difference
Matthew Ortiz
zsh is a meme made up by macfags who got greeted with an outdated bash shell, so they thing bash is shit, don't bother reading the manpage and so they install zsh, write blogs about how much more awesome zsh is and created even a whole community -> oh-my-zsh everyone on Sup Forums is praising but it's basically 70% macOS aliases and other crap you can set up yourself
that said, zsh has some averanges like, floating point math (so you don't need to use bc) and with oh-my-zsh a bunch of neat autocompletitions, which can be useful, at least when you don't know what you are doing anyway
Isaac Rogers
>zsh is a meme made up by macfags it's just one year younger than bash, faggot
Parker Martin
(Cross-thread) (Cross-thread) Here you go, senpai: a.doko.moe/mviqnw.png I couldn't upload to mixtape.moe, it kept failing.
Kevin Wood
Try both, read both manpages, use both for al leasr 10 years, then decide for yourself. :)
Can the user who usually opimizes PNGs see what he can do with this please?
Xavier Flores
that's one long image

>Much of the Open Source community tries to advertise the community as one happy place to the outside. Where contributions are valued only by their technical quality, and everybody meets at conferences for beers.
>Well, it is not like that. It's quite a sick place to be in.
>I don't usually talk about this too much, and hence I figure that people are really not aware of this, but yes, the Open Source community is full of assholes, and I probably more than most others am one of their most favourite targets. I get hate mail for hacking on Open Source. People have started multiple "petitions" on petition web sites, asking me to stop working (google for it). Recently, people started collecting Bitcoins to hire a hitman for me (this really happened!). Just the other day, some idiot posted a "song" on youtube, a creepy work, filled with expletives about me and suggestions of violence. People post websites about boycotting my projects, containing pretty personal attacks. On IRC, people /msg me sometimes, with nasty messages, and references to artwork in Sup Forums style. And there's more. A lot more.
>Much of the Open Source community tries to advertise the community as one happy place to the outside. Where contributions are valued only by their technical quality, That's literally what Open Source is meant to be.
John Jenkins
>using hashtags >on Sup Forums
Cooper Bell
I actually, unironically agree.
What does Pottering do? He writes free software. Which is good. Nobody is forced to use the software he is wrote. If a distribution is forcing you to use certain software, blame the distro, not him. The whole systemd meme thing went pretty much too far.
Chase Collins
Dear Mr. Pottering, if it makes you feel any better, I don’t know who you are, nor do I care what you do. Regards, user.

Antergos is better it's just arch with an easy installer while manjaro is its own version of arch
Juan Lee
You mean the "I could not help but notice your png was not optimized user. I have optimized your png. Your png is now optimized." bot?
Matthew Martinez
Yes. But if it's a bot, this wouldn't work, because it can't download the image from the link and then upload the optimized image and then post the link.
>references to artwork in Sup Forums style green frogs?
Connor Reed
50% quality, resized to 9999px jpg here tried to compress it lossless, but it didnt went below 5 mb, and even if, the max resolution cuckoldry wouldn't allow posting it anyway

*hate symbols.
Nice.

better read the context, then it isn't really funny
Julian Cruz
I like how he puts `*` instead of `u` as if it means something (as if pre-teen children are gonna read the mailing lists or something)
>new git shouldn't have used sha1 in the first place >muh speed i know it's easy to say that *now*

Andrew Jenkins

Easton Williams
>git shouldn't have used sha1 in the first place You didn't read a single word, did you? (1) What's the difference between using a hash for security vs using a hash for object identifiers in source control management?
Both want to use cryptographic hashes, but they want to use them for different reasons.
A hash that is used for security is basically a statement of trust: and if you can fool somebody, you can make them trust you when they really shouldn't. The point of a cryptographic hash there is to basically be the source of trust, so in many ways the hash is supposed to fundamentally protect against people you cannot trust other ways. When such a hash is broken, the whole point of the hash basically goes away.
In contrast, in a project like git, the hash isn't used for "trust". I don't pull on peoples trees because they have a hash of a4d442663580. Our trust is in people, and then we end up having lots of technology measures in place to secure the actual data.

>git reminds me of a question
I have a directory called .git where some projects are in, I've ln'd and I want to update them via my personal update script.
How can I update all projects in my .git directory at once? No need for compiling/installing, just updating/pulling.

Right click the game in the playonlinux menu select 'configure wine' and check the 'emulate a virtual desktop' box.

Jose Smith
why didn't wrote anyone an AUR2ANYWHERE script? should be blasting easy
Juan Jones
where did you find that photo of me?
Lincoln Ramirez
Because that would end up in everyone relying on the AUR and Arch is shit.
Also why would you even want that? Most stuff is simply a git clone; (your package manager built command) install
Levi Roberts
>running executables by literally who Daily reminder that the AUR, PPA's, etc are THE security whole in your system.
Luis Williams
call the cops, idgaf
Josiah Watson
only when you don't check the source before installing, which arch users usually do (since arch users aren't some plebs)
Adrian Sanders
>since arch users aren't some plebs lmao
that's why every second thread ITT some arch users is asking how to %something_the_wiki_should_have_already_told_him
The AUR is the No.1 selling point of Arch theres literally no reason to use Arch except for the AUR.
Austin King
>The AUR is the No.1 selling point of Arch theres literally no reason to use Arch except for the AUR. thx for confirming why Arch is superior
