>>21398

I'm thinking i3 since that's what it says in the screenshot. OP could just be fucking with me though.

Yeah well, fuck you and being observant.

Really I'm sorry, though.

>>21456

Looking at this made me want to get into ricing my shit… I have NEVER wanted to rice my shit.

Is that a cli file browser there at the bottom right?

What in the name of god is that music player above that?

Please schway jesus, tell me that is irssi. If I can't identify a single thing on your desktop

I may kill myself.

Teach me your ways….

>>21470

Go check out the desktop threads on 4 /g/.

Also,

I recommended researching arch if you have not already.

>>21471

I'll probably do that last step as anytime I ask something on those threads they all throw weeaboo memes at me and pat each other on the back for being a part of a club that someone else wants in for once.

>>21472

I recommend it. It feels so good when you get everything just how you want it.

>>21470

File browser looks like Ranger, not sure about music player, IRC is Profanity.

The window manager is Awesome.

>>21575

What desktop package is that?

>>21575

Looks gr8 m8

I could never figure out how to get MPD+NCMPCPP working. Cmus does the job, but it's not very pretty.

>>21585

Get a custom firefox css

>>21594

I thought we couldn't do that anymore. Wasn't there an update some time ago that basically fucked it all up and now all you can tweak is the colours?

>>21596

Stylish

>>21601

It's not very pretty, but it looks functional.

If you want aesthetic advice, I would say put a little space in between the windows. Also, your Thunderbird is horrifyingly busy and tiny. That fucker needs at least twice the height you've allocated to it. On the whole, your desktop looks cramped.

Any tips on how to choose a good terminal colour scheme? Everything I have is CLI, but the colours don't match my wallpaper.

>>21601

You should separate some of that into multiple workspaces. It's very cramped.

>>21602

>>21607

Well, I don't usually have it in that formation. I just made it like that to get everything, I usually use my desktop in tabbed mode with tty-clock being the only floating window.

>>21609

Also, scrub question but how do I get space between windows?

>>21456

>>21575

Good lord that is the most beautiful desktop I've seen in a while.

>>21456

Ayyy it's Nonon!

lmao

>>21652

I don't have the autism to install Arch, sorry.

>>21666

Well, not Op.

But I got an Ubuntu disk with some magazine like 3 years ago so I always just install with that unless I'm booting GNU/Linux as a guest VM.

I'm just too lazy to actually burn a DVD, and to top it off this version of Ubuntu is old as hell.

I've distro-hopped enough.

"Admitting that you use Ubunutu is the linux equivalent of putting a spoiler on your Hyundai – the only people who think you’re cool are other people with spoilers on their Hyundais."

>>21731

Then educate me oh great internet wizard. What Linux distro is good for somebody coming fresh from windows but getting tired of windows's shit?

Kbuntu perhaps?

There seriously isn't a thing that exists that lists all the big distros with their strengths and weaknesses?

>>21733

Just Debian. You can quite literally just pop in the install cd and be up in half an hour (the limiting factors being your CD ROM/HDisk speed). I wouldn't recommend Ubuntu for several reasons, most glaring is the fact that the default desktop package blows (but also because they seem to lean towards the 'big brother' mindset + they sell your search data and usage statistics).

The install menu is pretty basic but essentially you just need to create or format at least two partitions (one for swap, one for OS); set some default settings like date/time; set your hostname (the text I.D. of your computer on your LAN); possible configure which packages you want in your installation (there is a default); and create a user.

After all that…

Learn about the various shell commands for Bash (default terminal shell*) and how to use MAN pages. Learn the default utilities in bin*. Learn about the folder (directory) hierarchy, package managers, and about user management with groups/file permissions.

After that basic stuff, to complete your ascension you should learn about device mounting; probing system information from various files; the NUL device; redirection with Bash, how to start services (called daemons in GNU/Linux); and how to configure/use certain core programs/services.

You may also want to change what desktop package you use (I think Gnome is default on Debian) but that's up to you.

* A terminal shell is like the command prompt on Windows only better in every single way.

** Most shell commands aren't actually built into the shell but rather stored in your root bin folder. Useful to know because you can actually poke around and use MAN on all the utilities to learn what they do.

Finally, one more thing I need to get across to you before you start is that every hard drive mounts to the root directory by default. As in there is no "My Computer" or "D:\" drive in GNU/Linux. Just one directory tree. That being said, you can mount different partitions or drives to specific sub-directories within the root directory.

And, as an extension of my last point, every device on or connected to your computer can be accessed as a file. Literally everything. Your keyboard? A file. Your PS3 controller? A file. Even the real-time information your OS retrieves from the CPU is a file that can be manipulated.

This is hardly everything but it's more than enough to turn you into a productive user. GNU/Linux practically forces you to be a power user. The downside is that there is a steep learning curve while the upside is that there is usually a lightning fast way to do anything you want. Conversely, Windows and friends have a relatively shallow learning curve but that comes at the price of consistent expediency in regards to performing various tasks.

>>21734

Thanks for the long explanation. I admit I do think Ubuntu looks like shit. I'll install Debian now. All the stuff you said there, I'll save that post and try and learn alot of that.

Just out of curiosity, assuming I learn and get a decent grasp on everything you said there, how employable would I be to places that use Linux?

>>21717

Sincere question. What makes Debian better than Ubuntu?

>>21525

If you're still here, I'm interested on that agenda program you have on the second pic. What's the name of it?

>>21740

Obs: I'm shit at webdeving. I'm just starting to learn this kind of stuff, so don't judge anything you see that might be noobish @code.

>>21736

Well, you wouldn't be intensely employable on this alone but this can be a platform from which to jump into various technology jobs in the Information Security and IT industry. Generally the requisite skills for those jobs are platform agnostic but you won't find a competent IT professional who doesn't know *NIX. Generally most networked services run on GNU/Linux distros such as Redhat (web servers, LDAP+Kerberos, etc.).

I'm a programmer not a system administrator so I don't necessarily know the minutia of the position but I could be one with minimal self-training thanks in no small part to my Linux knowledge. I am certified to a certain degree of proficiency (back up skill sets in case the Computer Science market becomes saturated).

>>21740

I see.

>>21745

thanks chummer

As someone who is a big PC video game player, switching to linux has been a fear that ill lose a chunk of my library that isn't either Dosbox emulatable or has linux ports, like a good chunk of late 90s-early 00s games or even some recent ones

What can I switch to and not fear the loss of my library?

>>21765

>>21765

not super aware of linux gaming. But distros are gonna be pretty much the same, however seconding debian for these reasons

>>21734

get wine or virtualise windows with VGA passthrough and you are set

>>21765

Most old games are definitely covered either by dosbox or wine. You may lose some recent ones though, sorry to say.

Make the conky font a more legible colour. Also make the tint task bar thinner.

I noticed yesterday there is a janice repo. The only thing to be careful of with a dist-upgrade is system-d and gtk3. Before the upgrade you will need a gtk3 theme and adjust some scripts after. I probably won't upgrade for a while, too much hassle.

>>21997

Impressive, that is such a strict colour scheme. Do you have a gtk colour and icon scheme to match?

did you try https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Install_from_existing_Linux#Method_2:_Using_the_LiveCD_Image?

and if the wifi driver doesn't have too many dependencies you could download it and the dependencies and install it manually and remove it and update arch once it works.

I will also point out, that using software for security and privacy while using windows is the equivalent of a smoker saying they are health conscious.

>>22977

Debian. Very easy to install, private too. Set up encrption when you first install it.

>>22977

I liked void a lot

>>22977

Or Fedora. I know the name sounds shitty, but once you get past that; it is a legitimately good linux distro built by a company that knows what the fuck they're doing.

The installer will work EVERY time and the default UI is pretty nice to boot. If you don't game on PC and your life blood isn't chained to proprietary software to make a living, you have no excuse to not use Linux. It's seriously better in every way.

If you do game or something, at least put it on your laptop to give it a go. It's pretty damn fun when you take control of your computing.

>>23011

Best ghost

>>22905

You probably have a broadcom chip-set, in that case you need to install a kernel module for it to recognize your wireless card. You just need to download it onto a USB or something and import it from the command line. It's easier than it sounds, just a inconvenience. Also, fuck wangblows.

>>22968

Wait, you use GNU/Linux and DON'T browse in CLI? You're the shazbot here

This thread is a neat opportunity.

How do I into Linux?

I took a semester-long Java class in high school and decided that programming wasn't for me, but surveillance is spooky.

how2?

>>23389

>get a shitty laptop somewhere

>acquire USB stick large enough for your distro of choice

>use program like http://sourceforge.net/projects/usbwriter/ to put distro onto USB

>put USB into laptop

>turn on laptop

Now if it just boots as normal you have to hit some key while it's starting up, for me it's the delete key but it depends on the motherboard manufacturer. This takes you to your BIOS, find a setting for boot order and make sure it boots your USB before the hard drive. After installation you can change this back.

>follow installation process, depends on distro

Then once it's installed, learn how to do shit with the command line. sudo apt-get or whatever the equivalent for your distro is is important, that's how you install software. Basically just switch between your normal PC to look shit up and your linux laptop to try shit out. Some distros come with a desktop environment and browser out of the box, then you can just search shit on the laptop. Once you feel comfortable you can switch to linux full-time.

Even Arch is easy to install if you can follow the guide on their wiki. There's a ton of documentation for everything, just learn how to find it.

Don't use Ubuntu.

It's terrible.

You're not good at this.

Stop posting it.

Your shit looks horrible. It's inconsistent. It looks bad. You've got a bunch of edgy emo shit all over your screen.

Go read a book on graphic design and post again once you've fixed your ugly desktop.

>>27598

Combichrist isn't necessarily an emo band but I'd agree that the wallpaper doesn't fit a minimalistic OS Theme.

Also, reading a book on graphic design would be more useful if he would make the switch to linux.

install some tiling wm and a dark gtk theme (unless that dude is using some Qt port of thunderbird and firefox?).

or just install some dark gtk theme.

>Will I even still be able to play videogames?

steam, OpenMW (morrowind), OpenTTD (transport tycoon, better than original), EVE Online in wine, etc.

>>29885

Can you tell us, what exactly the problem is?

Do you have trouble finding a partition-tool on the disk? (use cfdisk then)

Does the disk not recognize the partitions? (either you forgot to write them to the disk, or you should try another live-system with e. g. GParted and see if that fixes it)

>>29284

That looks horrific.

>>29898

the cfdisk /dev/sda command doesn't give me the option to flag the boot partition as bootable or primary same thing with the swap partition.

it's more effective and doesn't incude a bunch of retarded options that don't do anything useful.

Not really related, but can you tell what are things that you did when starting programming, like things you tough, did, wondered, how did you get past problems and so on.

>>30826

Well, I mean, to get past problems, you generally just have to follow what the compiler tells you that you've done wrong, lmao; otherwise, if you've got a design flaw, you just need to think outside the box (this sounds cliché as fuck). You won't solve a problem you have with the same mentality you created it with in the first place.

Aside from programming, I've been doing scripting for a little while longer; I'm relatively familiar with bash, at this point.

>>30869

I feel like i majorly suck at thinking outside of the box.

Just installed Terminology.

I tried to do this shit with framebuffer terminals but it was pointlessly annoying. And now I learn that not only is there a term that actually does in-line images, it looks fuckin' awesome on top of that.

My dick just shot through the dome on the observation deck, satellite depressurized/10

>>31176

It's part of the enlightenment desktop environment, if you're interested. It has the same general look. You might like it.

>>21610

Use your configuration files. It should be called 'margin' or 'padding' or 'airgaps'.

>>31528

Jesus, that looks horrible.

How the fuck are you supposed to start doing this shit if you're nigh-computer illiterate?

I can get to grips with Rainmeter, but I really want to set up programs that seem integrated into the desktop like >>21456 has.

Is there any central "beginner's guide" for this, outside of the installgentoo wiki?

>>31599

Oh, and what font does this board use for its' default text? I tried checking the page source, but couldn't find any <font> tags.

>>31600

I think it's the monospace font family.

>>31154

Slackware has a package manager. It's called slackpkg, which is a frontend for pkgtools. You're conflating package management with dependency resolution, which isn't that big an issue for me.

>>31631

So nice he posted it twice. Can I get that wallpaper?

Jesus, you're so dumb, lel.

You don't use <font> tags in 2015. You use CSS. It's the web-safe classic for monospace shit.

font-family: "Lucidia Console",Monaco,monospace;

Maybe before working on customizing your desktop, you should learn to use it?

You have to edit config files for any good rice, and he's just using Linux with no borders or shadows, and a tiling WM. These aren't things you can do very well on Windows, so you may as well just put the effort into installing a schway OS.

That's a god-tier battle-station.

Hey chummer, is that an eeepc 701? This is important

>>21427

What are these called? I've seen them in other places, where there's custom home pages at start up.

>>32220

I have seen them called homepages and startpages, but really what they are is a website you host on your machine. Once you are hosting an apache server or the like, you can reach it by typing 127.0.0.1 or localhost into the address bar. You can then begin to customize them with html, css, javascript, php, etc… Most people use them to learn a bit about webdev and to make their homepage fancy.

When I began to customize a homepage I learned that webdev is not for me and then just stole a template from github and customized it slightly for my needs.

https://github.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=startpage

>>32228

Woah woah woah, you run a service just to host your homepage? Are you aware you can set your homepage to file://path/to/your/file.html?

>>32246

I uploaded it for you guys. Go nuts. There's comments in the code for changing the background to white, the logo colour, etc.

localhost is an inner communication loop

>>32274

Dude…

What if your shit gets corrupted? You'll regret not having that local copy of the homepage then.

>>32272

My schway 1337net is /cyber/ teir

>>32518

Oh, it never really occurred to me I could do this. Schway…

The FM transmitter, as well as the internal flash memory expansions for me are probably the most interesting. I suppose the bluetooth upgrade could also be useful.

Are you planning on doing any of those listed on the wiki page?

>>32519

The only limiting factors in this machine are the RAM and the CPU (as mine is soldered on the motherboard, unlike in the article, which is sad), so I need a lightweight operation system which uses these limited resources wisely. Now that you provided an alternative (I tried a winxp with n-lite in the past - sucks ) , and this article is outdated about pricing, so I could get usb hubs and pendrives and N-channel Wifi cards for dirt cheap used, I am thinking about it seriously.

Also, there is this, even more extreme, just for fun : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5XtLMNE1ts (no need to watch the whole ofc)

I don't see how you think this, or how it would be a good thing.

>>32186

No, I don't. What's your point, botboi?

Keep your corpcuck shit on halfchan, corpcuck.

You don't have to be an elitist about which distro you think is good. That's 4chan territory.

>>33135

>He thinks using Linux makes him a cyberpunk

No.

>>33224

stop shitposting shazbot, anon didn't say anything about linux. and btw, android is linux and he's not using that so wtf are you even trying to bait here?

ofc you're not cyberpunk if you use a botnet OS and ofc you're not automatically cyberpunk if you use a proper OS. duh.

>>33215

Which terminal emulator is that?

>>33241

Not him, but my guess is likely urxvt-unicode. The file manager is Ranger though

OK I don't want to ask these supern00b questions on some other forum.

I want to use/learn Linux instead of windows. Can I install/use it and KEEP windows strictly for gaming? I want to install Ubuntu and try to use it exclusively until I get better, then go to Debian. but in the meantime, I want to keep windows and just use it for my modern gaming needs (Elite Dangerous, etc). Is that possible, or will my computer still be susceptible to bogging down/privacy/security issues by having windows on it period, even if I just use it for games?

Also, I have 2 internal hardrives on my laptop. Would it be wise to use one hardrive for windows and one for linux?

Also, is it better to do the Live install thing, where I keep the distro on a flash drive? Or is it better to straight up install it, and if so, can THAT be done while still keeping windows?

I'm gonna be cyberpunk as hell by the time this is over. I want to learn everything

>>33382

>Can I use windows and linux

Yes, it's called duel booting, and is on by default in most installers. Windows still has access do you linux partition on your hard driver, and may open you up to security concerns, if this is a big problem you can actually install a linux onto a flash drive (yes, the entire thing, not just a live environment)

>2 hard drives

That would make things really easy, yes.

>flash dirve w/ a live install

You can install it onto a flash drive just like a hard drive. File I/O will be a little slower, you'll really start to feel it if you don't have much RAM and need to use a swap partition. Yes, it can be duel booted.

>I want to learn everything

Even if you don't use arch linux, the arch wiki is invaluable for quick and dirty referencing, explanations, and examples.

>>33386

fuckin awesome, thanks

I'm getting Ubuntu now. I just went to the download page and am downloading the latest version. I'm assuming that it's the actual full thing, not a Live version. i'd rather just put it on my PC if it'll be faster with transfers n stuff. I'll figure it out, thanks!

>>33278

the "u" in urxvt already stands for unicode

OK so I don't know Linux. I don't want any bullshit, I don't want any crapware or stuff where they're gonna sneak purchase requests in. But I want something easy enough to navigate that I can use it while I learn. So do I go Ubuntu, Mint, or Debian?

>>33456

>So do I go Ubuntu, Mint, or Debian?

Ubuntu is easy to use and almost all problems you encounter were already solved, just type error message in your favorite search engine, although it has some anal probe by amazon.

Mint is easy enough to use, no crapware and good for generic linux desktop use.

Debian is also pretty easy, and learning its structure can be handy if you want to run a server someday.

>>33456

I personally got my start on slackware and would recommend it to anyone trying to become a hardcore linux user. If that's not your goal, go for mint.

I put mint with LXDE on an ancient machine for my little brother (13 at the time and zero linux skills) and he preferred it to windows because it did basically the same shit but ran better.

Debian isn't bad but in my opinion has just a couple details that would throw newbies.

>>33538

ubuntu is ok but tends to be buggier and uglier than mint. mint is based on ubuntu where they fix whatever people hate in ubuntu.

>>33456

Learn emacs.

It's literally it's own OS (almost). You abstract away everything in Lisp. I run OpenBSD, but you can run any Linux kernel/Qubes OS.

If you want information go on libgen.io and look for linux books, type in 'nostarchpress' or 'linux'.

>>33538

K I went for Mint. Now how the hell do I rice this stuff? I'm hungry for stir fry

>>33548

I'd also eventually move to Vim. The keybinds are used everywhere.

>>33667

What icon theme is that?

Also, off by one

>>33732

>foobar

But that doesn't look like Windows, chummer. What is this?

>>33734

bblean running on w8 (I kid you not)

Found it on a thumb drive I used to use, complete with an old homebrew graphic preset

>>33707

For any other chummers not running Arch, and have discovered that the listed upstream URL is no longer populated with anything, here is the download link that the Arch package uses, but doesn't mention in the AUR page anywhere.

Your background image contains a BSOD. That implies that Windows will survive into the space age.

Was your goal trying to make it into a "generic wannabe loonix guy" desktop?

>>33753

haha yeah

>>33762

and yes that is exactly what i was going for

>>21470

I never bothered to rice.

I'm not picky at all about the appearance of the UI as long as functionality is good. I like Aero, Windows Classic, Mac's Aqua, riced themes, Enlightenment 13 themes, anything that isn't Windows 10 oversized shit.

How the fuck do you people deal with such small screen space? I can't even use a laptop for an extended period of time without sperging out. That's why I setup i3 to give me all the screen space I want.

>>34268

cause were claustrophilic

>>34521

How do you make your browser look like that? Just a small box with tabs up top. I've always seen this, but never received an answer.

>>34535

fixed url

>>34535

the only problems are that there are no buttons to close tabs and no scroll bar

>>34540

Ctrl-W closes tabs, and I use vimperator so firefox has vim keybindings, I use J and K to scroll

>>34540

Keybinds.

>>34522

I use stylish, like >>34535 said, but with my own custom-written style. I could give it to you if you like, but you'll have to memorize the tab-navigation keybinds, which are for me;

Page-Up: Move to left tab

Page-Down: Move to right tab

Ctrl-W: Close current tab

Ctrl-T: Open new tab

>>34671

I like your ff css. Mind sharing?

>>34881

You don't /need/ to. I mean in a cyb erpunk world you'd be stuck with the most popular OS anyway, which for us happens to be windows. So it doesn't make you any less schway using it. People here just sperg out because self-justification.
