cinci zoo sniper posted:i had some unironic gentoo fanatic try to cry at me how systemd is terrible garbage and how sysvinit, openrc, and upstart are all undeniably better than it I used to spin up gentoo anytime i wiped my drive just for fun. I stopped because systemd is such a nightmare to get running it's not worth the effort anymore.

BobHoward posted:why wouldn't you just download a binary like a normal human being if you have your compile flags set up right, then the system will run faster than generic pre-compiled binaries not enough faster to ever make up for the compile time you have to invest, but faster https://fun.irq.dk/funroll-loops.org/

Notorious b.s.d. posted:this is the impossible condition the distros compile generic flags that should be universally compatible, but if *I* set the flags that are best for *my* specific machine it will run much faster!!! the reality is that any gains you get are so marginal that you will never recover the time lost to compiling, and the only use gentoo has is teaching you to copy arcane commands from a wiki, and how to read logs so you can get directed to the right wiki page

Doom Mathematic posted:But why doesn't Bash check the syntax of a call to its own builtin before run time? If it's an external executable with a funny name, fine, but the builtin is right there. at a guess, bash checks $PATH before it checks its builtins to cater to the tendency of linux nerds to write their own custom hacks. this isn't as common a situation as it used to be, but bash isn't exactly new software.

anatoliy pltkrvkay posted:is it not? I thought vi was one of those things that you just expected to exist anywhere outside a "grub failed to load the os, have fun editing" hellscape. it's there on every full install of *nix I've ever touched, but it's not in coreutils. i don't have a linux box handy to do a lookup on, but i did just search through a listing of the coreutils commands and it wasn't listed edit: in both rhel family and arch it comes from the vim-minimal package.

cis autodrag posted:One time doing a go live for epic I watched a um manager enter a referral about 10x faster than I'd ever managed using only the keyboard and it blew my mind. If the work flow is designed with it in mind a key board can definitely be more efficient, but programming ain't one of those work flows. I've known sysadmins who were insanely fast, and I usually arrange my workflow around touching the mouse as little as possible. there are just certain things that it will ALWAYS be faster to use the mouse for, unless you literally design your entire UI around not needing one(and then you spend so much time doing that you probably are overall at a time loss vs just working with what is there) I've also noticed that in the normal run of things those guys lose alot of time tabbing around, missing the option they were trying to hit, and having to tab all the way back around because they don't know about ctrl-tab

Shinku ABOOKEN posted:nope, this is default behavior in gnome 3 under fedora (which is basically red hat with serial number filed off afaik) not exactly, fedora is basically the dev version of red hat. when they do a new version of rhel, they fork fedora, change a few things about the default config to make for a more stable and sane system, and then don't update any of the packages other than bugfixes/security patches. centos is rhel with the serial numbers filed off

cinci zoo sniper posted:hey sapozhnik (or nbsd or anyone else really), have u got an extended take on opensuse by chance? i don't know about an extended take, but its fairly solid, and yast2 is an extremely good ncurses based menued configuration system that lets you configure most system level things (ntp, network config, ldap, etc). I'd say it's better than fedora, but it lacks the community support you would get.

cinci zoo sniper posted:ah, alright. so, linux users can have multiple groups, and i can tell a process/command to act as as a specific group, do i get that right? if so, that's good enough for, to tick off mental checkboxes or whatever Each file/folder can have one group, and permissions are what that user/group/everyone can do to it. Each user can have multiple groups, however, and thats how you control access.
