Mine is bloated.

What theme is that?

my old debby VM, OwO

Post that cute lain, please.

>implying a 1300 mb os is bloat

you don't need a 300-600 mb os if you have 8bg of ram. such an os is made for a computer with like 2 gb of ram

Thanks bb

you are doin good boi
*slaps ur ass*

How do you guys manage to have this tiny amount of packages?
I run on stable and have over 2800 packages.
Netinst with gnome, but I use i3wm.

I want to give lain many headpats

>I run on stable and have over 2800 packages.
Use buster and net iso
>Netinst with gnome, but I use i3wm.
>gnome
>i3wm
what. Bitch you were supposed to UNCHECK EVERYTHING when it asks you to install shit

Any useful tips or guides for newb/brainlet?

>netinst
>only checked standard utilities and ssh-server
>apt-get install xorg xfce4
>apt-get remove lightdm

no problem slut

haha jk :)

uninstall ubuntu and install debian

former manjaro brainlet

No...you uncheck everything. then install xorg, alsa etc etc

Why the fuck do you have a display manager in the first place??????

No problem.

that's not me. I don't insult other debian brothers.

It comes with xfce4 by default.

Sorry, I'm a FreeBSD user, I just like cute images. I think they're just being playful.

debian was alright for me for years until after a while i needed an esoteric setup for a server, then it just got in my way. not to mention their switch to systemd in jessie was a bad decision

using alpine now, it's great, doesn't get in my way like debian or arch

That's some very good taste and design.

How does FreeBSD fill your needs on a daily basis?

Please tell me alpine isnt a meme

people keep telling me it's a meme, but if that's true, at least it's a good meme in my experience

Yeah but give me your detailed experience

I don't want to talk about it in the Debian thread, that might be rude.

Is it pronounced "deb-eye-inn" or "deb-ee-inn"?

>10-20% of memory use
OS must take as small as possible so other programs which really need memory, could use memory.

Deb-ee-ann

It's a combination of Debra Lynn + Ian Murdock, so it's Deb-Ian

I see.

the only issues i've really come across with alpine is:
- compatibility with programs that require glibc-specific features (although alpine does package glibc and glibc-dev in the repositories), maybe that's an issue with my end and i need to specify to the compiler i want to link specifically with glibc
- multiarch support e.g. with wine 32/64 bit. alpine's package manager does not support multiarch at all from what i can tell

other than that, the only issues i had were ones i caused for myself, and they weren't related at all to alpine. i can run X11 fine, with full-featured web browsers, gimp, dolphin-emu (just don't use hardened kernel), terminal programs, et cetera

oh also the alpine package mirrors i've tried are kinda flaky, but maybe i'm just an idiot

debian is stable isnt a meme
i recently moved to debian after using fedora for a couple months
fedora had non stop freezes and file system corruptions. I set up all the stuff i had on fedora and configuring everything was as smooth as butter. fedora needed workarounds just to boot half the time.

Okay.

deborah + ian = deb ee an

delicious bloat

kill yourself

I installed debian on a thinkpad like OP but the volume isn't working at all, the sound buttons and mute button don't even work holy fuck someone help

thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_get_special_keys_to_work

use GNOME if you're this stupid

>former manjaro brainlet
Mfw people are waking up.
Good

I think Debian is the only OS where I don't have to worry about shit unnecessarily breaking. I can reasonably expect things to work the first time, every time.

I love you Debian.

I'm not i moded my config files to get wifi working. this shit is hard, using xfce4

i just use nm-applet lol

## CALLBACK
# String with command and options that should be executed each button press and
# state change. tpb passes an identifier as first argument and the new state as
# second argument to the callback. So you can do fancy things :) By default no
# command is executed. Supported identifiers and states are:
#
# IDENTIFIER STATES/VALUE
# thinkpad pressed
# home pressed
# search pressed
# mail pressed
# favorites pressed
# reload pressed
# abort pressed
# backward pressed
# forward pressed
# fn pressed
# zoom on, off
# thinklight on, off
# display lcd, crt, both
# expand on, off
# brightness PERCENT
# volume PERCENT
# mute on, off
# ac_power connected, disconnected
# powermgt_ac high, auto, manual
# powermgt_battery high, auto, manual


What do i modify in order to correct my shit here? opened tpbrc in nano

Wall please, it's beatiful!

>That clock font

Blegh

>6GB ram use when idle

Sounds about right for Gnome

>Debian users think they know shit about lightweight OSs

Kek

wow, fucking newb right here

pactl for pulseaudio and amixer for alsa, user. Literally 2 lines of code that need to be bound to keys, and there is even packages that do that for you, how is this even a complaint

When upgrading full numbered releases, do you install from scratch or just dist-upgrade?
In stretch, I noticed a few regressions like waking from suspend taking several seconds to come back instead of being completely instant like in jessie, maybe this was caused by dist-upgrading?

If you're on xfce, xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin might not be installed, this is needed to control the media keys for some reason.

*Laughs in Slackware*

>373 mb on xfce
>1581 packages

Jesus, user, what are you feeding that bloated pig with?

I have 3281 on debian. Do u do any development?

can you post .Xdefault ?

DE?

looks like i3

plain i3

Best theme

...

too lazy to remove systemd and reboot so its still too bloated.

update your kernel holy shit

congrats on being the only one itt with an up to date kernel

but then i would be disconnected from irc and there are no autojoins so i would have to join everything manually again. also the new kernels suck because they have those slowdown patches and i dont want them.

>there are no autojoins
use a better irc client
>the new kernels suck because they have those slowdown patches
the difference is barely significant for normal desktop use
since i use gentoo, i would know

What is the best linux alternative for ShareX?

>Packages: 1400+
B L O A T
L
O
A
T

but why waste all that time and electricity on upgrading kernels when the current kernels that i use work fine?

what should I use for x230 or just laptop in general? stable, testing or unstable? I think I'll go for stable

by that logic, why not use v2.6.0 or something, since that also "works just fine" (assuming it supports your hardware)?

there's literally no reason to use stable on a non server machine

Shutter

I don't know how to remove it and just start Xfce with "startx" in the console.

Idk man, Stable is pretty... stable, no issues yet

i do use it on my router. it might be possible to install openwrt on it but porting it is too much work for me.

Debian, XFCE+Xfwn4. Sry for crazy English.
When cursor hides while mpv plays, thick (half o 1/3 of screen height) black line appears for milliseconds.
How I can disable cursor hiding or there is another way to fix this problem?

you won't have any "issues" with unstable either as a desktop user
unstable =/= prone to breakage due to bugs
it just means that you shouldn't expect all things to act the same after updates (since software changes as it's updated)
you don't get any actual updates on stable besides the backports, security patches and such
which is good for servers because it's easy on system administrators who only need to set up the system once and not worry about configuration options changing after and update (which would require them to manually update some config files) and such

Anyone experiencing Xfce delaying upon starting up Debian?

Still bloated

Have you been able to get trackpoint to work properly on your laptop? I've go similar one and I have trouble with settling its sensitivity/acceleration. I've tried messing around with xinput settings both for libinput and evdev without any success. I've settled for really ugly hack that barely works, but I want to know if it is possible to do it better.

your gtk theme doesn't have support for gtk3. try this gnome-look.org/p/1173216/

debian fonts look like ASS

I use the MATE DE and it is fine for me.

why uncheck system utilities?
