I like linux but uh recently I decided to try centos and use gnome 2 again. it's been a long time since I used gnome 2 and... I think it actually got worse? idk wth is going on with that panel centos svn package is so outdated and has a really nasty bug that kinda hosed me up so that's my centos linux story thanks for reading Symbolic Butt fucked around with this message at 12:23 on Mar 21, 2014 |

Notorious b.s.d. posted:just as a reminder. I've been using ubuntu and debian exclusively for idk how long. in my home mostly ubuntu with awesomewm because I didn't care really. like infernal machines said, I never dist-upgrade lol I think the last time I saw ubuntu break REALLY HARD was in 2007 because of some xorg update shenanigan so anyway I finally decided to try new stuff because I wanna be a hip linix person

I know a guy irl who works for red hat and he seems to enjoy his job but I guess he doesn't like having to travel to the us sometimes? so yeah, if being in an airplane sometimes is the worst aspect of your job then you must have a good one. he suddenly disappeared lately, I seriously hope he didn't die

Suspicious Dish posted:Let me know if you find an app that uses the SECONDARY selection. I've been looking. it's been a while but gvim used to do some weird poo poo with PRIMARY and CLIPBOARD that I never really got it. maybe it has something to do with me messing with setxkbmap at the time, I'll try to look at this again eventually to see if now I fully understand how X deals with copy/paste. I just know I hate it.

the problem is that bc should totally be one of those utility unix things that is included in every linux by default like awk I also have a beef with ubuntu not including rsync but I guess you could argue that it's not "classic" enough idk

I installed fedora on my laptop and I got some weird font issues but I can't reproduce them anymore maybe the problem was solved when I did a yum update?  oh yeah, I tried to install it with a dvd (I'm a dumbass) and anaconda exploded in the middle of the first try

yeah the thing that uses some bespoke scripts with python and tmux it seems bad about dealing with errors, in this case it was probably an error reading a package from the dvd I guess

hey suspicious dish, I don't want to sound condescending or anything and I don't know poo poo about guatemala but here's a crash course on brazil because idk, I think the markets may be way more different than you're imagining: - lots of people do have a soft spot for windows xp, it's funny. it's kinda like how my dad has a soft spot for windows 95 being the best operating system ever. - brazil isn't a fully developed country but holy poo poo, the car culture here is almost as strong as in the US. there's a lot of incentive from the government to buy a car, and now with the emergence of a new lower middle class, owning a car isn't that big a deal as it was 20 years ago. - in brazil we speak portuguese so be careful if you bring these computers with spanish boxes. I guarantee everyone will hate it because... that's a thing brazilians do, we hate the spanish language. - desktop computers are kinda expensive, so people usually buy laptops. really lovely but cheap laptops like Positivo. idk the prices you're aiming for, but if you can somehow convince that they're better than those laptops then... well the thing is, rich people have expensive laptops. not so rich people want to feel the same way (owning a laptop!), even if they never bring out the laptops out of their house. it sounds like a tough scenario to compete with. - cheap samsung cellphones are ridiculously popular. I ride the bus everyday and man, it's like a 1/3 of the people have one, I'm not kidding. - apple products cost like 3 times more because taxes. this is not true for EVERY tech gadget (see samsung being popular), there's something really weird going on with apple. anyway if you know a brazilian who uses an apple product then, objectively speaking, he's a total tool.
