http://takacsmark.com/the-top-5-linux-systems-for-elderly-people/ The problem is that windows and osx are just to confusing with files and apps and directories. The answer is linux. This is like saying "oh yeah she's getting old and having a hard time driving." Well have you tried using a crane as transport? Articles like this crack me up.

i'm working on switching to i3wm which is great because I used to use xmonad but I lost my configs and I don't have time to figure all that poo poo out again. but it means I'm on my own w/r/t all the gnome things I was depending on before, and it's dumb and sucks. for instance, i am unironically having audio issues in linux in tyool 2016 on fedora, just because i switched window managers and used a gnome utility i use to run my DAC (lovely line out on my work laptop, i'm not an audio idiot). Now I've tried a bunch of things (pavucontrol, etc), and all of them identify the DAC, allow me to select it as an audio output, and then just merrily continue piping audio out of my speakers. if I switch into gnome and toggle the output, and then switch back to i3, it works! until I unplug the DAC and then I have to reboot completely to get it to come back. also i'm using the gnome network tool and it works great except for picking a VPN because for some loving reason the thing it pops up to input your VPN pin is some full screen overlay bullshit, which i3 clearly doesn't support because it freaks out if I try to use it. I have used the vpnc in the past but it drops my connections all the time and if I try to SSH into any thing inside the VPN, it dies. I know there is a simple solution that involves configuring things but I don't want everything to work. anyhow all of this stuff is easily solved but gently caress I just want to use the keyboard to arrange my windows, gently caress man

i3wm is nice though, it's super loving simple to setup and the defaults are super nice (although for some reason it uses vim keys but shifted around in some loving stupid way so I had to fix that). it handles multiple monitors exactly the way I want right out of the box, which is a surprise. in xmonad you needed a phd to use multiple monitors.

Try using pacmd and nmcli if you really have to use some weirdo setup like that Also have you considered just using GNOME like what passes for a normal person using Linux on the laptop and also not giving so much of a poo poo about window janitoring Most of the window janitoring you'll realistically want to do on a laptop boils down to "Maximize this window" or "Maximize these two windows side by side" which is covered by Super+Up, Super+Left, and Super+Right Also make sure you

well i've been using gnome for the last year and it's mostly been fine but i'll go ahead and play this card and say that I have a special brain that is extremely disorganized and so usually i have like 20 terminals open and multiple browsers. People say "how do you keep track of all of those windows" and the answer is: I don't. I just have to be able to move through them as quickly as possible to find whatever I'm looking for. A few years ago I discovered tmux and that's more or less solved my issue of having 20 terminals open at one time (plus the benefits of a shared buffer and stuff). But I get super frustrated when I have to jump between the terminal and other things and tiling window managers are good so that's what i'm going to do.

online docs are ok. i've used red hat's documentation along with others to troubleshoot and while studying for their computer janitor licence. i'm not sure how comprehensive it is, however, and i'd also like a text. digging around for 10 seconds brought up  , though not actually useful or up to date https://web.archive.org/web/20160305103603/https://www.nsa.gov/research/selinux/docs.shtml

Shinku ABOOKEN posted:how do you install stuff offline in fedora? or at least restrict dnf to a specific mirror that i can whitelist You can find all of your repositories in /etc/yum.repos.d If you want to disable a repo, just edit the files and set "enabled = 0" for the repo you don't want. If you have a repo of your own, add it to that directory.

you may have to deal with updates yourself if the package doesn't have an associated repository that's up to date. if by chance a later package depends on a different version of this package's dependencies then thing can break, but this problem isn't unique. and having too many lone or source installs can complicate things later, but this is also a problem of installing a lot of poo poo in general

Shinku ABOOKEN posted:i want to disable the random mirrors though. i googled around and apparently it can't be done? I don't know if this will work for fedora but it does for centos. I can't check right now since I'm phone posting and my fedora rig is at home. Try commenting out "mirrorlist" entries in the repos and enabling "baseurl". This should allow stuff like squid caching or dns spoofing (so that you can point to your own server) to work. You can also just change baseurl to point to your own server (but it might be better to simply disable all repos and create new custom repos). quote:thanks. are locally installed rpms treated special by the package manager? i.e. will it bite me in the rear end later? When you do an update, I believe your stuff just gets replaced if there is a newer version. If you want to freeze a package version to prevent that, maybe try "dnf versionlock"? It's a plugin that used to be for yum, but it was supposedly moved over to dnf.

To be fair, if it was busted to poo poo, that's because yum's implementation was busted to poo poo.

b0red posted:looking forward to getting my companies product distro agnostic so I can focus on making it work around SElinux. Well, not... really. At least not that I could find. What I was doing (and did) was I wanted to create a "system_u:object_r:mycompany_t" context for security purposes. That isn't covered very well that I could find. Although that was a year or so ago, so perhaps documentation has become better.
