Beginner to Linux

Hello,

I am getting more into coding, and I have started to realize that most things are done on Linux, so, I wanted to buy a Rasberry Pi, now, money is a bit on the weak side right now and so I wanted to get the Rasberry Pi 3, will I need any additional things like an SD card, and also what are the disadvantages of getting a Rasberry Pi 3 rather than a Rasberry Pi 4?

Hooked after a series of book/CD combos circa 1998 exposed teen me to *nix (RH/Mandrake/SuSE) over 22 years ago, I, obligatory "Arch BTW", just learned `cal` outputs a well-formatted calendar. So, r/linux what's your humbling "huh." moment?

Would i have used it had i known about it before now... who's to say! Anyone remember those Linux Book / CD combos? Walnut Hill ring a bell? I loved going to Hasting's and seeing what new book and CD-ROM was waiting there on the single shelf for ~~nerds.~~ PC advocates. :)

Is there any way to do gifs of one line of my nvim?

Hi! I am making my vim cheat sheet and I thought it will be nice to put next to command/key gif which will show that key in action. I don't want to make gif of full size of my window. Many command has effect on small area of text. I want to record as small area of text as needed.

Maybe even a way to write every "state" of gif manually. E.g. showing D key in action:

{1 frame, 100ms} ` I am making my vim {cursor is here}cheat sheet`;

{2 frame, 100ms} `I am making my vim `;

Thanks for any tips.

Is ClamAV Good and Does it Really Track/Collect Data?

I stumbled across ClamAV, which seems like an okay Antivirus for Linux.

It adds a small bit of extra security, especially for emails so it's better than nothing right?

Well, I can't find much info or personal reviews about it on the internet.
And their privacy policy redirects to Ciscos policy, which states that they do collect data etc.

Seems very bad of a Linux AV to collect user data...
But does it really do that and can I turn it off somehow?

I'm kind of a Linux noob...

Thanks for reading!

Anyone still using LXDE in 2021?

As the noscript says basically. I like the idea of a simple, very lightweight DE but development stopped a long time ago now. I know LXQt is supposed to be the successor but it seems to be pretty buggy from what I have read.

Are folk still actually using LXDE and if so, what problems do you have/sacrifice s you have to make?

Linux on ARM future

I'm just curious how serious are popular distros about it.

Knowing that Apple have potential to bend the market to their will in my opinion this can be a great opportunity for Linux to profit from this movement. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but Android is built on Linux, meaning that technically with little twinking android apps can run natively on Linux ARM device. Repercussions of this could be huge, potentially cutting off guard big players like Microsoft once again.

May the history can repeat.

bootable USBs

Hi folks, I'm getting into experimenting with bootable USBs for portable OS use but running into a road block.

​

For both Kali and Tails which i'm looking into, I seem to be finding two sets of instructions:

​

>(A) one method involves setting up a live copy of your OS on one USB and installing it to a second USB while booted into the first
>
>
>
>(B) The second method is to setup the live copy on a USB and simply boot from that USB

​

above when I say setup I mean using something like rufus or balena etcher to burn the iso to the USB

​

​

SO, is method A or method B proper when using a live version ?

​

The closes I've gotten so far is a disk error in tails (I think I should not have been using USB 3.0 to boot it??)

​

and getting stuck in GRUB for Kali Linux (I think at that point I was supposed to target my root drive in grub to make it boot from the USB fully??)

​

any pointers appreciated, I think I may be finding undated old methods and confusing them for a modern method no sure

Installing Linux dual boot Lenovo p51

I have been trying to install Ubuntu in my machine, I have done all the steps (he hopes) but after installing I never see the grub menu to choose which system I want to boot. Has anyone here had that experience and can recommend me a tutorial to follow so that I can install Ubuntu?

PipeWire is a good example of Linux software done right.

Just to show how good PipeWire is, let's compare it to Wayland.

PipeWire has been around for around 4 years, already fully usable and has perfect compatibility with PulseAudio, ALSA and JACK. It's also demonstrably better than its predecessors in terms of performance and usability.

Wayland has been around for 13 years and it's only become semi-usable in the last couple of years. It's still missing a lot of major features and requires XWayland as a compatibility layer, which introduces additional performance overhead. And Wayland doesn't even have any performance advantage over its predecessor.

I'm not attacking Wayland, I understand why it exists. I'm just saying that in the future, it would be nice if new Linux technologies did things similarly to PipeWire, instead of Wayland.
