Previously on: Welcome to /flt/ - Friendly Linux Thread. Users of all levels are welcome to ask questions about Linux and share their experiences.
*** Please be civil, notice the "Friendly" in every Friendly Linux Thread. ***
Before asking for help, please check our list of resources[*].
If you would like to try out Linux you can do one of the following: 0) Install a Linux distribution of your choice in a Virtual Machine using VirtualBox or other software made for this purpose for safety reasons. 1) Use the Live ISO (if your distribution of choice has one) to boot directly into the Linux distribution without installing anything, that way, you can get to experience the Linux operating system without installing it. 2) Dual boot the Linux distribution of your choice along with Windows or macOS, this is recommended if you want to know more about the Linux operating system. 3) Go balls deep and replace everything with Linux.

>full memtest. passed Literally this person did the same thing as me > Then I switched down to 2x8GB of CMK16GX4M2B3200C16 and OC'd it to 3200MHz 16-15-15-15-36 @ 1.35V and I haven't seen a Segfault since. I've compiled GHC, Chromium, and Firefox multiple times each.
I have the same memory kit that I OCed with the same timings to 3200

Anyone use Debian with Docker? How is it?
Also good work on re-renaming /flt/ back to the correct and original name. GNU trolls need to fuck off back to sucking fat ugly Jew dick.

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.

Manjaro installs TLP by default.
Is it good on a desktop or should I remove it for slightly faster boot times?

No, Richard, it's 'Linux', not 'GNU/Linux'. The most important contributions that the FSF made to Linux were the creation of the GPL and the GCC compiler. Those are fine and inspired products. GCC is a monumental achievement and has earned you, RMS, and the Free Software Foundation countless kudos and much appreciation.
Following are some reasons for you to mull over, including some already answered in your FAQ.
One guy, Linus Torvalds, used GCC to make his operating system (yes, Linux is an OS -- more on this later). He named it 'Linux' with a little help from his friends. Why doesn't he call it GNU/Linux? Because he wrote it, with more help from his friends, not you. You named your stuff, I named my stuff -- including the software I wrote using GCC -- and Linus named his stuff. The proper name is Linux because Linus Torvalds says so. Linus has spoken. Accept his authority. To do otherwise is to become a nag. You don't want to be known as a nag, do you?
(An operating system) != (a distribution). Linux is an operating system. By my definition, an operating system is that software which provides and limits access to hardware resources on a computer. That definition applies whereever you see Linux in use. However, Linux is usually distributed with a collection of utilities and applications to make it easily configurable as a desktop system, a server, a development box, or a graphics workstation, or whatever the user needs. In such a configuration, we have a Linux (based) distribution. Therein lies your strongest argument for the unwieldy title 'GNU/Linux' (when said bundled software is largely from the FSF). Go bug the distribution makers on that one. Take your beef to Red Hat, Mandrake, and Slackware. At least there you have an argument.

Hi.I loose partial internet connection after 1d13h uptime on linux mint.I have tried restarting the network manager restarting the router restarting the modem but only restarting the computer brings back full connection. >what do you mean by partial loss of internet I can browse Sup Forums but cant connect to captcha,can search google,but no site opens outside of most used sites with errors-no comment section etc. I have no idea where to look.

Your router/modem is shit

The file chooser in any browser i use,is slot as fuck,it takes 20+ seconds to switched between files in the same folder. I've checked smart and nothing alarming. I've run hdparm on all drives and they are all reporting their given speed correctly. Whats causing this?

how to install linux on windows? pls help
Xavier Clark

Matthew Phillips
fuck off >I may make jokes about Microsoft at times, but at the same time, I think the Microsoft hatred is a disease. I believe in open development, and that very much involves not just making the source open, but also not shutting other people and companies out. There are 'extremists' in the free software world, but that's one major reason why I don't call what I do 'free software' any more. I don't want to be associated with the people for whom it's about exclusion and hatred.

Hi guys, I was wondering if someone would mind to lend me a hand about LXC.
I'm running it under Debian 8, and I managed to make some unprivileged containers (I'm learning, sorry if I said something obvious).
The thing is, I think is kind of bad that your $HOME path refers to the user in the host but if I clean it with lxc-start -n Name --clear-env a lot of things stops working because obviously it lacks a lot of $PATH.
What would be the way to act? I don't know what should be the standard behavior of an unprivileged container so I don't know how to check if I'm doing it right or not.
Thanks guys.
Jeremiah Reyes
So i installed smgl like 5 times already and fucked up everytime, be it the efi bootloader or some other shit. This time i made it to kernel compiling but apparently i fucked up by not including any modules
Should i just go back to ubuntu? I love tinkering but am seriously curious wether im too much of a normie for computers
Blake Diaz
Just try until it succeeds. Building the kernel yourself will be difficult the first time, don't expect it to have all things configured right for the first time. You will probably have to compile the kernel around 5 times to get everything working the way you want it. lspci is your friend.
Lucas Turner
Is it worth learning Vim? What's it good for? Pros and cons? I've been thinking if I should learn it
Jace Edwards
If you are familiar with it, you can be very fast. Also, it is on almost every linux machine available by default. So if you want to do something on a server, you can almost always use vim (or vi).
Robert Mitchell
I just wasted 1gb of bandwith updating Manjaro linux for them to tell me they can't update due to """"""""""conflicting files"""""""""""""". I thought this was the just works Linux distro that you never have to open the terminal for.
Fucking dropped.
What's my next distro? Something that works well with XFCE.
Ian Martinez
how can i make my ubuntu mate boot faster? its a 5400 RPM HDD laptop with a Celeron. Can i disable useless services like accessibility stuff?
Camden King

Anthony Carter
How is Ubuntu Mate these days? When I tried it years ago it seemed pretty half-assed, like he mostly focused on changing the names of applications for no real reason. I like the idea of gnome 2 though.
Asher Mitchell
Its GAAAAHNOOOOO PLUS LEEEENOCKS
James Stewart
Configure the kernel yourself
Brandon Nelson
ummm can i just disable some stuff easily?
Julian Baker
fastest browser for linux? using firefox that came with it for now. anything better?
Jordan Bennett
install speedyfox on firefox chrome might be faster in youtube and other google websites due to google's black magic to promote it
Jackson Collins
Yes, you can choose if you want to enable something, enable something as a module or disable something. Skip through "Linux Kernel in a Nutshell" to know how to configure & build the kernel on your own. The Gentoo wiki on configuring the kernel can also help.

Searching for a nice distro/unix like os for my Thinkpad X240, would be nice if its binary blob free like parabola ( never actually booted it cause I was sure wifi wont work ) and a distro thats stable, cause Im on arch currently but I wanted a more stable distro but not with to old packages like debian stable. Any recommendations? Oh and a nice package manager like pacman would be nice.
Liam Jackson
Arch is a stable distro. Stop with your meme fud
