I'm curious. How did you fail those 4 times?

6 days*

What's the difference between coders and programmers?
John Martinez
Out of school and out of job.
Also this Takes like 6 hours at the most depending on your speeds.
Stupid small mistakes that fuck you over when you've compiled everything.

'Bout 3 fiddy.

A good Gentoo install takes a week (if you never installed it before). Ofc you can just do the vallina stuff, but then there's no point in installing Gentoo.

If you don't install stuff like xorg or whatever it will take significantly less to install

Shut the fuck up. We're all not autistic where we need the most accurate CFLAG for the most pointless thing.
I was about to install GRUB2 and then I apparently hadn't had the BIOS mounted or some shit. I honestly didn't know where I fucked up because I followed the docs as closely as possible.
The first time I attempted to install, I think I chose the wrong profile or something.

>using Arch for 2 years now >tfw I have yet to find a piece of software that I need that's not in the main repos or in the AUR I'd like to contribute a bit and write some PKGBUILDs for the AUR but I have yet to come across something that's not already in there wat do
Hello /fglt/, I am moving from Debian to Void Linux, and so far I'm having trouble deciding what DE to use.
I have been using XFCE, and I love it's customization, but I want to maybe try something a little new?
Cinnamon looks very nice, but I want to kind of rice a little to make things look even better.
Which is the best for ricing, XFCE or Cinnamon? I imagine with effort, I could get XFCE to look exactly like anything I can do with Cinnamon, no? What is the benefit of choosing Cinnamon over XFCE?
Ethan Reed

also why switching from a fine distro?
Justin Evans
There are plenty of aur out-of-date packages that need maintenance but you most likely can't.
Easton Rogers
>you most likely can't ?
Ryan Ramirez
it breaks every other day, just follow the arch reddit and laugh about all the kids falling for the arch meme who cant boot their machines anymore
Sebastian Martinez
Systemd fucking sucks, that's why. I'm so sick of dealing with this stupid fucking shit crashing and breaking everything and never working.
That and I want to try out something new. Debian is starting to feel kinda boring. Arch seems too edgy and memey, and Gentoo sounds like it'll take me a million years to install. Void looks like it's just Gentoo for people who don't have time to deal with its stupid bullshit.
And okay, how about which is easier to get looking nice - XFCE or Cinnamon?
Aiden Miller
WHAT
ARCH IS BLEEDING EDGE
THERE IS NOTHING OUT OF DATE
DELET
Brayden Gonzalez
How about starting with a simple wm like openbox? Comfy to rice. If you really need a DE, go xfce.
Nathan Stewart
user incompetence (sometimes utter retardation) is not the distros fault I've never had Arch break or do anything unexpected I can also speak for a couple of people I know from a hackerspace irl
Austin Hill
Whats a good solution for tranfering stuff from a GNU/Linux laptop to an Android phone? My first thoughts were ssh / ftp?

Thinkpad clit mouse is super slow in xfce, mouse options don't really help, xset doesn't really, either. What's the preferred way of speeding up the pointer in xfce?

Rude posters not welcome.

Anyone here set up a pci-passthrough and if so? My question is do I need to install shit from the motherboard driver disk to my guest os or do I just need to use the redhat driver stuff only?
Landon Gomez
>pci-passthrough are two monitors required for this?

that pasta is a meme these threads are not friendly at all
Jayden Roberts
Couldn't find said pasta at knowyourmeme; your argument is invalid.
Juan Moore
>friendly means spoonfeeding lazy ass fucks no
Hudson Hughes
I use two, I believe you can do it with one though.
Austin Foster
technically no, but it'd be a little inconvenient especially without a kvm switch
Josiah Taylor
The only thing required are 2 gpus. Since most machines already have a lq onboard gpu, passthrough should work for most people.
Jace Moore
>kvm switch what's that
Jack Phillips
DAMN MILLENNIALS
Ryder Nguyen
if KVM your processor needs to support it as well as the motherboard
Alexander Ortiz
>lazy he's obviously new and clever enough to read stuff people link him he's also a friendly guy who says thanks for help why are you such a fagget? is this what you want new users thing about our community? kys retard
Eli Rodriguez
Thats a different kvm
Jaxson Richardson
yeah I mean, what are these users thinking using arch without baby sitting it 24/7? lol n00bz!
Grayson Kelly
kvm is the standard vm in kde
Daniel Russell
>baby sitting it 24/7 >people who've never used Arch actually believe this
Jaxon Ramirez
So, I installed the latest Ubuntu. And I have an HD 6950. It's currently using that gallium driver. The proprietary driver says it's only compatible for Ubuntu 16.04.
Do I have to roll back and run ubuntu 16.04 to install the proprietary driver, or can I delete that flgxd(forget the letters) file and still install the driver?
Robert Ross
>baby sitting it 24/7 when will this meme end
William Harris
>proprietary driver Why would you want to do this?
Carson Wright
if it works leave it like this
Jack Sanders
>works It's barely able to keep up with low end shit from 10 years ago.
To actually use the gpu as intended instead of pushing stuff to the cpu.
Xavier Walker
Well, but it's proprietary software which runs on kernel level.
