If you would like to try out GNU/Linux you can do one of the following: 0) Install a GNU/Linux distribution of your choice in a Virtual Machine. 1) Use a live image and to boot directly into the GNU/Linux distribution without installing anything. 2) Dual boot the GNU/Linux distribution of your choice along with Windows or macOS. 3) Go balls deep and replace everything with GNU/Linux.

Anything but a slower paced distro like Debian Stable should be good. Even that may be fine, but wouldn't be my first pick. Arch OpenSUSE Fedora Mint Cinnamon (Edge)
I haven't done that with ffmpeg, kdenlive is probably overkill for what you want but it does work very well.
My question, I know this is verboten - Is there any way, no matter how bad the idea is, to automatically install updates on an Arch system and have the computer reboot after they're applied? I have a computer in the house that only acts as a receiver to my media server, it's shoved behind a TV. I'd rather keep things low maintenance by letting it auto update and risk something breaking rather than having to SSH into it every few days and run them manually. I thought about trying this with a Cron task under root, but I'm not sure if I can pass a flag to yay for it to automatically accept all package changes.

What's the easiest way to create a wi-fi hotspot? My phone has trouble connecting to the wi-fi at home so I connect to the laptop's hotspot. I used to use linux-wifi-hotspot but it doesn't work anymore.
Simply open your network settings and there will be an option to set the name and password for the hotspot.

What would you anons do if your WM of choice got updated and turned into something you dislike?

Why was everything merged under /usr instead of the other way around? Doesn't it make more sense to have binaries in /bin

Nvm, pretty sure I could accomplish the auto updates by running a yay -Syu --noconfirm in a Cron script or something, but I'm just going to put the machine on LMDE instead. Also, Mint no longer has an (Edge) variation as of 20.3, forgot about that.

Nice thread but GNU isn't a real thing. It's just Linux. Don't make this mistake next time OP.
Xavier Bailey
deal with it because there are more important things in life than WM keybindings
no when everything is in /usr you can mount it with just one command
do whatever you want

Not all installed files are executable binaries, take a look into the directory as non-writable binaries are a subgroup and therefore a sub-directory of "installed" files. Discussion of heir are troubling. On one hand you have people who rightfully say it should be easy to reorganize it into something more modern. Then on the other you have the engineers who build your operating system telling you it's retarded to move their equipment.

I would fork the WM.

Make sure you don't pick an autistic distro that will refuse to distribute the firmware.

i'm trying to install the latest version of qbittorrent on my sbc running armbian but the ppa thing isn't working. how do i fix this? also when i did remove with --purge, the settings still got saved and also still installed the old version.
Is it really a security issue to use Trinity desktop? As far as I know there are some network related things in QT and therefor also in the QT3 fork that Trinity uses which probably hasn't seen many patches. What do you anons think? Is it safe to use TDE in a private and also in a public network?
Henry Jones
The PPA is for Ubuntu, you aren't running Ubuntu so find a repo for armbian.
