I really wanna try a tilining wm, but the task of installing everything that I take for granted in a desktop environment seems daunting

>>107592902
I keep getting a wine error that I'm missing mscoree.dll, I googled it and it said I need a dotnet dll like dotnet48.dll, I downloaded that version in 32 bit and for whatever reason it still doesn't work.

>>107592933
Tiling is gay. Scrolling is better.

>>107592956
Just use Faugus launcher.
Or create a bottle in bottles and install all the gaming related dependencies (it's easy via the GUI), just ask the internet or LLMs to list all the important dependencies.

Hey guys, a quick question regarding clock sources: if my tsc is unstable, and gets automatically disabled for hpet, but I force tsc anyway, will I have any issues for a 24/7 365 desktop pc? Cpu flags indicate nonstop_tsc, but I can't see a constant_tsc flag, and ofc no invariant_tsc.

>>107592958
Isnt scrolling just tiling for screnspacelets?

I love LMDE so much
It's Debian but extra comfy

>>107592977
It's a translator app

>>107592956
Downloaded it how?
Use Winetricks

>>107592933
only use tiling for terminal, web browser, image editor
set it to float for other programs
WM is good, you only use features that you need, while DE usually has features that I don't use like accidentally pressing super/windows key opens start menu, that pisses me off so much

>>107593009
No, it's tiling for people who think workspaces are gay

>>107593276
Doesn't seem to be working. It's a wine command if it makes a difference:
>wine [path] > /dev/null &
I still get messages cluttering the terminal. I'm trying to make aliases for these commands, but even putting them in directly I still get output messages.

>>107593259
What are the main differences between LMDE and Debian with Cinnamon preinstalled?

>>107593453
BASED. One of the very first things I do after an install is set fixed work spaces and limit them to 1.

>>107593391
that's how I got the .dlls

>>107593555
Always newer Cinnamon on LMDE. Cinnamon on Debian proper is locked to whatever version made it into stable until the new Debian version comes out

>>107592956
>downloaded that version in 32 bit
and the software you want to run is 64 bit

>>107593555
lmde uses less resources, but has less features, but use lxqt if you want lightweight, or icebox wm

>>107592956
Yes, that's a dotnet file. Install wine-mono in the prefix or winetricks dotnet(something...)

>>107593588
I see.

>>107593654
>lxqt
Good choice, I'm using it right now

>>107593654
lxqt sucks, lxde is better

>>107594062
All of those suck, Openbox is the Way.

>>107594062
LXQt is good, I use it. It's lightweight and it's got some good features. One feature I like is a taskbar widget which displays the output of a shell command, every few seconds. So it's easy to show pretty much an info you like in the taskbar. I don't think LXDE can do that. Also I'm not sure how much LXDE is still developed.

>>107594062
LXDE has been abandoned because fuck GTK3

>>107593553
try
>wine [path] &> /dev/null &
the &> tells bash to redirect both stdout and stderr to /dev/nulll

>>107595004
oh and by the way, if you want the program to not close after closing the terminal then run
>disown
or
>disown -a
for all background processes started through this terminal

What's the best way to interact with dbus? I do display configuration on Gnome (wayland), and since there is no neat tool like xrandr available, AFAIK the only way to do things like rotate the screen (from the command-line) is to use dbus. So I've built a python script that does some black magic with python-dbus and it works, but I don't know if this is the best way to do it, plus I have no clue what I'm doing or what dbus actually does. I heard about gdbus, which is a command-line tool, but here I would need to parse a lot of output myself. So how do I interact with dbus?
>inb4 use a wlroots-based compositor + wlr-randr

>>107595004
>>107595018
That works, thanks.
>disown
That doesn't quite work. I can add it after the final & and then I can close the terminal without it closing the program but the terminal doesn't exit properly. I enter "exit" and instead of exiting it goes to another line and I can't do anything, I can't enter new commands or ctrl + C or anything. I can kill the terminal and that doesn't close the program, but this also happens without the disown.

>>107594865
We can fork it bros

>>107595376
You can but nobody is though. I think LXDE still gets sporadic commits now and again but it doesn't receive that much attention when all the devs use LXQt.

You'd probably want to port to modern GTK or fork GTK2 development too because ain't nobody doing any work on older versions of GTK anymore. GNOME is all-in on GTK4.

>>107592902
What can I expect how many of the games in >>>/t/1387605 will work in Linux?

Give me an actually good server distro that isn’t openSuse or a Debian or Fedora/Red Hat derivative. They all have AIDS.

>>107595644
BSD then it seems.

>>107595611
If you go to ProtonDB and sign into your Steam account then it will tell you.
https://www.protondb.com/

>>107595667
Never mind: I missed the torrent part. You can still cross-reference the list with those on Steam.

Most are likely to run just fine.

>>107592902
How do I get the Japanese language pack for Xubuntu so I can read a Japanese readme?

>>107595611
It's difficult to say with old games. DirectSound support in WINE is very incomplete so old games that rely on that will have issues. In my experience it's music not playing or not looping or sound effect volume controls having no effect

>>107595644
Slackware

>>107595644
Nixos

I genuinely can't pick a WM. I've mostly used sway/i3, but I'm not sure if I want a primarily tiling WM. Maybe a floating WM with tiling features would be better? And then I have to pick a specific one out of dozens. And then I don't know what kind of bar I want.
Fucking decision paralysis

>>107593433
I think I'm fine with tiling being on for everything, Its just that I don't know if I wanna deal with the hassle of installing stuff manually, that usually just comes with a DE

>>107595879
IT'SMA'AMIX

>>107592933
Just install a DE package and a WM and use the WM? There's no hard requirement that you need a DE for the programs. Usually you'll just have to start dbus or daemons but it's not too hard. I have some really basic things setup to start in my WM config, and some others less necessary things run off a script I use.

I recently changed my password and now this keeps popping up whenever I open Bitwarden. I don't use this fucking gay wallet, I didn't even install it, why is it asking for my password? It only unlocks if I type the old password, btw.

>>107596071
>I don't know if I wanna deal with the hassle of installing stuff manually
Like what?
The only utilities I use for my i3 setup that I wouldn't use in a DE are picom, dmenu and feh. Maybe flameshot and alsamixer.
I have Ubuntu's default GNOME installation which takes care of some libraries a few programs need, and a graphical file manager for the few times when fish or dired is not enough.
Here are all the programs I've bound to hotkeys in my i3 config:

# start a terminal
bindsym $mod+Return exec i3-sensible-terminal
bindsym $mod+o exec kitty
bindsym Mod1+F1 exec kitty

# Browser
bindsym $mod+i exec brave-browser-stable --animation-duration-scale=0 --wm-window-animations-disabled --password-store=gnome-libsecret --force-device-scale-factor=1.2

# Desktop Search
bindsym $mod+F9 exec Mitsketa

# Emacs
bindsym $mod+p exec emacs -bg black -fg white

# Invert screen colors
bindsym $mod+z exec xcalib -i -a

# Switch keyboard layout
bindsym $mod+F8 exec FlipKeyboardLayout.sh

# Screenshots
bindsym $mod+Print exec scrot
bindsym Print exec flameshot gui

# Color picker
#bindsym button12 exec gcolor3

# kill focused window
bindsym $mod+Shift+q kill
bindsym Mod1+F4 kill

# start dmenu (a program launcher)
bindsym $mod+d exec dmenu_run -fn 'Mononoki Nerd Font:bold:pixelsize=32'
bindsym Mod1+F2 exec dmenu_run -fn 'Mononoki Nerd Font:bold:pixelsize=32'

On startup I just set a wallpaper and start pulseaudio.

exec_always ~/bin/WallpaperSetter.clj
exec (pgrep pulseaudio || pulseaudio)

I have a Debian boot drive that uses an encrypted LVM. Problem is, the password I have only works if you type it in really fast through the computer's BMC's remote control interface, skipping over like three characters and I don't really know which ones they were.
Is there a way I can remove the encryption on this thing while it's booted, or change to to use a keyfile on a removable flash drive (again, it'll have to be done while it's booted)?

TL;DR? I used to avoid it (and qt) due to bloat back when gtk2 was still the standard and still try to when I can.

Use NixOS. Enjoy linux again.

>>107595699
Is VirtualBox so bad now that no one even mentions it? My needs are generally covered by DOSBox and I guess I will eventually need to take the plunge and set aside time for QEMU.

>>107596993
why not Guix?

>>107597035
because i want drivers and lambda calculus is an eyesore.

>>107597045

Reasonable.
>lambda calculus is an eyesore
You just have poor taste, and learning Scheme is a lot more useful than learning some half-baked configuration DSL that isn't used anywhere else

>>107592933
You can always try distros that are bundled with wm preconfigured, like fedora i3/sway spin or endeavourOS i3/sway/bspwm/ edition. It comes with software preinstalled and tied to the wm. It's also easy to understand as their config files includes comments either officially or provided by the community.

Change the wallet password in KWalletManager to be the same as your login password. It auto-unlocks at login via the PAM module but only if the wallet uses the same password.

And yes, you "don't even use it", applications use it to store secrets securely.

If you have used Debian as long as it's existed but want to avoid the Rustroonification, will Devuan be a solid option going forwards or is it needed to change to some other distro altogether or is it not enough and have to scrap Linux completely in favor of BSD or maybe even OS X?

What I'm doing wrong here? Tried daemon-reload and daemon-reexec.

I recently made the switch to Nobara, but after noticing my temps being higher than what I'm used to I realized I don't have anything to control my fans and pump. I'm using Corsair stuff, so what would be the equivalent to iCue? I don't give a shit about rgb

>>107595993
I wanted to recommend Awesome as well and expected anons to be surprised it exists. FLTK doesn't get nearly enough love despite Dillo woking much better than 10 years ago.

I want to try SwarmUI but it requires an older version of python. Can you install multiple versions of python?

Anyone experiencing a logout bug on fedora? Like, I leav my machine open and it logs out, I log back it but fedora logs out on its own. Wtf? This can happen like twice in a row.

Whats wrong with gtk3? Ive seen a few similar comments about gtk3 around here but never understood it

>>107597571
Idk I don't have it set to log me out automatically when the screen goes to sleep. Maybe turn that off.

>>107597719
Every version of gtk is almost a completely different toolkit. They're always removing half the shit and replacing it with new shit with different dimensions, so you have to rejigger everything.

>>107597026
Seems like a pain in the ass to fire up a VM just to play a game, plus you won't have 3D acceleration
