What's the closest music player to Musicbee on linux?
>>107132341Try Strawberry.
>>107132341from the looks of it Strawberry? https://www.strawberrymusicplayer.org/#screenshot
>>107131625I'm tempted to try using it because I like the idea of my system being neatly configured, although the ideological purge from a while back has me worried as to its future. Guix seems too underdeveloped by comparison, even if it does use a better language.

So I want to try linux again. Im homing in on gnome / fedora and I would like to see if my laptop is fully compatible with this. how do I do that? lenovo t490s thank you

anyone running labwc? is it any good?
How am I meant to get bash-language-server on Debian (so Kate understands how Bash works)?On Arch it was just a package.Everything I can find for Debian either suggests using npm (doesn't seem like a good idea) or snaps (eww).Is there really no other way?
>>107133524i fucking hate snaps but i bet that's the main method, just burn a small effigy before you type the command in
I switched from Windows to Fedora but cannot find a replacement for voidtools everything. Everything else has been switched to linux packages or running via wine.I CAN'T COPE.
>>107133524>>107133541snap didn't even install it in the right place fucking piece of shit.I just said fuck it and did the npm thing. It had the foresight to install the files in /usr/local instead of the places normal packages go, so that's good. I was worried that globally installed npm stuff would risk interfering with apt packages but I guess not.
I find it amusing or interesting that there's people switching from Windows to Linux recently due to shitty Microsoft decisions (which I totally approve) or rather planning to switch. Meanwhile my autistic ass have been running Linux ever since I was able and installing it on every single available device.Man, gotta love the penguin
>>107133799I'm not in the loop. What did Microsoft do this time?Or is this just from the general "Windows 10 no longer supported" thing?
>can't install package because it asks for a newer libc6 version>get a newer libc6 .deb>install it>start getting dependency errors because they want a previous version of libc6>reinstall the old version>access to every single package disappears, can't sudo, apt or do anythingthanks linux
>>107133524You mean syntax highlighting? Just use Visual Studio Code.
>>107133524Literally just install shellcheck and run it when you feel like checking your code.
>>107133796keep in mind sometimes fedora stuff lives in a different place than it would on an ubuntu/debian system, i run into this from time to managing different machines
>>107133814>Or is this just from the general "Windows 10 no longer supported" thing?Yeah, and all their minor fuck ups added up
>>107133829apt, not even once
>>107133933Yeah, entire system is fucked, couldn't even execute shutdown procedures. Tf do I do now, do I really have to reinstall everything? Would at least be useful if the system warmed you about potential fuckups, but no, just wipes everything without warning.
>>107133829You can't safely downgrade Glibc like that. You also need to downgrade every single package you upgraded that was built against this newer version of Glibc. Your fault.Old Glibc -> New Glibc (Safe)New Glibc -> Old Glibc (Unsafe unless you also downgrade every package that links against the newer Glibc)
lads chads and fags, as a windows fag who has had the pleasure of developing on a macbook, but is too strapped for cash for a macbook - which distro should I use to emulate a macbook with my shitty 5+yo laptop with 8gb. i dont need anything fancy I just want it to just werk for webdev. I fullscreen and alt+esc / cmd+tab to cycle through apps. The Ui must looks pretty and as little tinkering / maintenance as possible. my socks don't arrive for a few more days so I have a while to considerthank you, wise ones
>>107133829Linus...
>>107131619Why is Troonix so shit in every respect?
>>107133829>downgrading the single most important package that every other binary depends onshiggy diggy
>>107134100There needs to be a libc independent distro.
>>107133524npm is fine as long as you don't install stuff as root.I much prefer an editor like nvim or emacs that can be configured to run shellcheck on save. Language server isn't really helpful for shell scripting. kate's way of displaying tab characters is retarded for a language where they're significant.
Anyways, i am in a Polish school where im learning about almost everything about programing, internet, pc building, Operating Systems and etc. And now in school were talking about a subject of manual file management trough the winodws cmd. Mostly creating folders and creating txt Files. As i know in the future ill be having to learn linux too, so ill ask now as i see an oportunity. Is manual file and folder management trough the commands significantly harder and diffrent from windows? Also sorry if i said something bad in English, despite getting good grades at it, it still isnt something im fully perfect at.
>>107134173robocopy and rsync are nice words
>>107133829congrats, you made a frankendebiangood time to stop using debian
>>107133496Unifont?
>>107134016If only linux told me that instead of just going for it, I just hope I can fix the install with the mint iso
>>107134173>zoomer undergrads need remedial file management coursesgrimLinux is easier because more people actually use it in their day to day and it shows in the tools.
Is there an easy way to get a locked hp bios laptop to boot linux. I tried artix, devuan and mx linux but it doesnt work. The only linux distro that works is fedora since they support secure boot.This is an old laptop my mom bought secondhand in 2016, figured i could use it for linux instead of it collecting dust. Is it cooked tho, should i just toss it in the garbage because of the locked bios or is there something i can do? Because after searching around the net for a bit it doesnt seem like i can do anything since hp doesnt offer the support that they had in the past where they would send you a unlocking key.
>>107134173>harderNot really>different They are really similar (mkdir is the same, cd is the same, move is mv, copy is cp, dir is ls, echo "something" > file.txt is the same, del is rm, rmdir is the same, etc)
>>107134473also a lot of dev work on windows now you're using wsl and the commands carry over anyway. that's been a big change over the last few years
Any downsides to mapping paste to ctrl+v in the console?
>>107134356Always the same shit>I did something wayyyy out of the ordinary that every sane person would have advised me not to do and now things are broken>Linux is the problemYou should definitely not manually install versions of libc outside of what your package manager offers unless you 110% know what you're doing. It's the single package that will fuck you up when you do bad things with it. Everything else is usually revertible.
>>107134463so what's the lock? is it bios locked? Like you can't get in the bios or what?
>>107134463look for things like other os, secure boot disable, legacy mode, sata mode ahci/ide just change settings until it works or buy a new
>>107134534I mean you just implied that linux is the problem considering it wasn't sane enough to tell me that I shouldn't do itI'm not blaming linux tho, just hoping I can fix it with the iso
>>107134536>>107134537I cant change settings in the bios cuz idk the bios password so i cant disable secure boot
>>1071345742 possible solutions1. Take out lap's disk drive, install it to another PC and install linux with secure boot enabled, reattach it to the lap and crossfingers it boots (not 100% sure of this one since I haven't messed around with secure boot)2. Get a BIOS flasher, take laptop apart and reflash BIOS. At this point you might as well just get another one
>>107133829I'm sorry, I know this is a friendly board but you my friend are a gigantic retard. Please go back to Windows or any retard-proof OS.Thank you.
>>107134557I mean it's just a deb file would you prefer if it checked every deb file you install and warn you when it gets dangerous? Why not just look for a flatpak or appimage or fuck even a snap of whatever program you wanted to install instead of fucking with libc
Anyone using lightdm? Can you post your /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf and also your lightdm-X-greeter.conf?I'm not sure if I should stick with lightdm-gtk-greeter or try another. Currently I'm having trouble with running a greeter in an openrc system.
>>107134463Take the CMOS battery out and get into the bios, fix your boot devices
>>107132745Debian is based, there is no reason to say anything bad about it
>>107134608>2 possible solutions
What do you guys use for making clips and/or compressing videos?Tried avidemux and shutter encoder, both seem shit
>>107134706for making clips I use vidcutter, plain simple, it only works with 1 vid tho
>>107134634Doesn't matter, login screen is a minor inconvenience. If you want to customise lightdm without editing a config file you can install that customizer tool, exact name escapes me now.
>>107134706Straight ffmpeg, shotcut for editing>b-but resolveIt's a total pain in the ass to convert everything to whatever format it allows and no, I'm not paying for that shit lmao
>>107134706unpasteurised, raw ffmpeg for 4chan posting
>>107134626Well it all started because the ungoogled chromium version in the mint repo was like 50 versions behind and instaling the newest one via deb gave dependency problems, maybe if they kept all the packages up to date there wouldn't be any issues
>>107134739That's debian based distros for you, older packages in general, for newer stuff you either find an appimage/flatpak or switch to something else
>>107134725Hyprland requires elogind which exports XDG_RUNTIME_DIR.Elogind requires a seat manager.Lightdm is the seat manager.It's a pain in the arse trying to read up on all this stuff and testing out various solutions.
>>107134739If you want up to date packages, you should not use a point release distro.Fixed package version are their whole thing.
Debian stable + flatpaks is the sweet spot
>>107134757I'm on x11. Wayland is more confusing, this is true.
>>107134524No. I always reverse all the Ctrl/Ctrl+Shift shortcuts because it's no longer 1980s.>>107134706Shotcut as UI and ffmpeg in terminal
why yes, i will install omarchy and expect complete stability for years to come
>>107131619Replace "go ahead lol" with "yes, do as I say" and a black empty screen and it's accurate.
