I haven't used Linux or a desktop in almost 10 years, but one of the early builds of Puppy was one of the first distros I put any real time into. I switched us over to Linux when my wife infected our computer with a bunch of malware and it stayed that way for about 5 years. Now we both just screw around on our phones and Windows is fine on my Surface since I'm the only user. |

Yuu Morisawa posted:what’s cephfs and max inode counter If you've ever felt like you needed a filesystem that lived on 18 machines and 329 disks, cephfs is for you! An inode is like an index entry for a file. It tells the filesystem where the file lives on the disk (which is frequently lots of different places) and who owns it and a bunch of other stuff. If you reset the max counter to 0, then suddenly your filesystem starts blowing away entries that point to files when you write new files. This makes things cranky. nesamdoom posted:Is rope very expensive or are you lazy? I'm gonna go with both! |

I had a weird setup with one or two drives from 5 computers mounted by sftp on my main laptop, it someone worked way better than I expected(although I had fucklots of trouble with samba and ftp on windows) 18 machines and hundreds of disks sounds like a gently caress show that I'd probably enjoy if I was doing it just for myself. ClusterSSH btw is a great program for ppl that have stupid home networks of a bunch of machines. as far as the rope comment, I've def had moments where the poo poo I was looking at hurt so bad I couldn't decide between the side of a building or a nap. life has been way less stressful without fixing other people's computer problems, less money/bar tickets(60 buck in bar tickets for an hour of work is my favourite payday ever)/suppers tho. https://i.imgur.com/1qBoiAi.mp4

Ok, so I don't wanna hijack this thread and get whatever the BYOB version of TSA is to come inspect my av's nutsac(I'll never tell you which square it is), but I was thinking and there are a [calculating lot/load] shitload of people that don't know much bout the tux. I have years as I know others here do and I've been to the linux side of reddit where it's mostly ppl that are dicks to everyone kuz they grinded hours of docs, wikis, and manpages to figure out how to make poo poo work. I'm not a fan of that, I kept getting told to check Arch Wiki on install and I actually didn't find a clear path, but I took a couple different things on installing and realised which both had parts wrong and got it to work. Arch is a kinda pain until one has done it enough to not forget steps(one missed can start the whole thing over). But, to get to my point, I think it'd be nice to have the thread go in a way that can promote usage(from the chillest perspectives on the inet) and so I'm posting/bumping for the purpose of maybe getting some people interested(maybe save 200 buck on next pc or don't pirate) or hoping to not have less techy people avoid the discussion. That all said, I'd really like to know some other people's first package installs on a system or their first modifications. One my first things I do is add rofi and set it to LAlt+C because it's crazy nice in the middle of anything to flick my thumb over and my finger down to pop up a (I use rofi combo for this hotkey) list of open/recent stuff or be able to type any app and have it open.? CAPS is pointless to me so I rebind the CAPSLK key to control and set left control as a mod key. With win/super key on the left of most boards I use all three as mod keys. so ctrl+c launches something, win/super+c launches something, and LAlt+c launches something. It's way easier to do this in Linux than Windows and I had to buy a program just to do what rofi does for free and it doesn't even do it as well, but does actually have some cool alias and text replacement stuff(Breevy, prob the best windows software I've ever paid for). Kinda went over Zsh/Oh-My-Zsh and that's not really much for a newer person to worry about, but isn't complicated and can be an easy into to git installs. For anyone worried about gaming, really Linux is better. The games that are natively written will run better on tux. Nvidia was super cunty for a long time and it seems like they didn't want anyone on linux to use their poo poo. They still don't try kuz it doesn't make them money. Installing and setting up poo poo can be a bitch, especially on a laptop kuz then you need like bumblebee and poo poo kuz companies don't make linux firmware. Huge upside, people put time and effort into doing it so that other people can use their poo poo without billionares having to spend money. The basal premise of GNU/Linux... I get it, you wrote a bunch of poo poo that didnt work until Linus made it and Linus + Unix = Linux... Let's not forget that ppl worked hard on making computers unchained to megacorps. I'm off track. Still, I don't wanna gently caress up the cool vibe in the thread. I just think we as yobbers could help get ppl into something better. I got pms also if anyone would rather directly hit me with questions, but I'm sure the thread has better answers than me. Frohliche Weihnachten https://i.imgur.com/1qBoiAi.mp4

Arch with 16GB RAM and a quadcore is kinda like racing a toddler. I had my fan break on my laptop and Windows runs at like 70C base but even the extras on linux that i'm using it's like in the 50s so I've been enjoying how comfy it is to not use a mouse for everything and lol, my old install is way more stable than win7 since their last big 'update' that I think was meant to brick things. lol, seems like a personal question but what is your partitioning set up? https://i.imgur.com/1qBoiAi.mp4

I can't remember if swap is really important anymore with decent amount of ram. I got 16GB in my laptop and I am using 151MB of my swap. I wanna get another monitor for vertical. I've been looking for a cheap low res ultrawide. But everything seems to be focused on gaming and I can't find anything that makes sense just for a really tall vertical that only needs enough res to have a terminal running. Bargearse posted:still running Windows on my main desktop because my job involves supporting a lot of stupid Microsoft poo poo, but I’m running EndeavourOS on my laptop, it’s basically Arch with most of the hard work done for you I like the sound of EndeavourOS. I remember liking Manjaro a lot for how skipping the Arch installation was nice and it was a well put together system from the start. Grabbing an ISO and gonna load up a vm and see how it feels. I got a couple old computers that have been ignored for the last couple years I need to update and set back up as media servers and I might go with Endeavour instead of Debian if it works nicer. Otherwise since I run them headless I'll prob just Arch them and just get ssh, ftp, and samba set up then give up on loving with them. https://i.imgur.com/1qBoiAi.mp4

installing Endeavour in Vbox right now. I remember there was supposed to be a friendly Arch installer that never worked for me, but this seems to be generally what that was supposed to be, maybe with a bit more personal flare from the dev. I'm doing offline kuz xfce is nice and this is just a test run to play with the OS. I really wish I'd have dumped the 3k into building the computer I wanted years back. Big server cpu, dumb loads of ram, masive storage drives, usb pci cards, and cheap gpus with multiple outputs. I wanted a big box that I could set up multiple vms to run and basically set myself a bank of things and just let ppl do whatever. Addition: I'm not totally sure. I guess it's been awhile since i did a new install and i didn't load up my script to install my basic needs. Not bad overall but it's pretty bare for still using around half a GB ram... Doesn't come with htop is a weird thing I noticed. Not a huge thing, but just seemed odd when I tried htop and was told it wasn't installed. i'm also currently on a laptop with no fan so i got it limited in cpu freq and so i'd prob have been better grabbing a diff one and booting a usb rather than a vbox here. but this is def a very easy way to get a pretty minimal arch install without hassle. I'd prob stick with manjaro just for the preinstalled darkness haha. Do wanna set up a usb and throw this at a physical computer though. get everything set and then set it to headless. I think it'll be better than debian for what I need and save me time on arch installs. nesamdoom fucked around with this message at 17:42 on Dec 26, 2021 https://i.imgur.com/1qBoiAi.mp4

Yeah only reason i added the swap is because I was having an issue where whenever my monitors would sleep they wouldn't wake back up, I could have fixed it with some other tweaks I did but ever since I switched to this setup its been working great. An ultrawide would be so nice, I've got two 27" 1440p monitors which I bought for a pretty decent deal on black friday. |

I pretty much keep swap just kuz it really isn't much space anyways and if the system wants to use it then cool, otherwise oh well I wasn't a sliver of my drive. It prob gets used more on the other computers but I never worry bout anything on them as long as they keep booting and I can connect through the router. I don't mind a 19inch 1080 for a second screen that's pretty much always playing some video, used to use a 32inch tv also just to be able to go sit on the couch and watch stuff. honestly it might be cheaper to get a VR setup and use virtual monitors rather than actually buy them/ https://i.imgur.com/1qBoiAi.mp4
