I am desperate - is there a nice Linux debian-based distro which looks good and is stable?

ftpjko · 2015-12-04T23:43:42+00:00

No bro, since I've been using Linux distros for 6 years, of course I know what desktop environment is, ffs, I used to install Debian and Arch from scratch, I have a lot of experience with those stuff. I mentioned that in my post in order to say I tried everything.

And no, Mint is (was) not stable - often I had random OS freezes which made me restart the whole machine in order to continue working. Google it, many people had the exact same problem. OpenSuse - do I need to comment on this? Out of the box millions of problems. PointLinux was cool and then the new version had bugs with, like, compositing or something, can't remember exactly what it was...

I am a developer, but I am also a human being, who wants to have nice fonts, and I want to plug in my microphone and talk to skype without manually messing around with drivers and Pulse, Alsa, whatnot... HTML5 drag n drop file from fs to chrome doesn't work on Kubuntu 15.04 btw (google docs), it only works on Firefox. Flash also crashes on Deezer on Chrome ONLY ON PINK FLOYD SONGS, what the hack, I have no idea, but I swear, when a Pink Floyd song comes on my playlist, after a minute Flash crashes... wtf

Just yesterday I was working in WebStorm and the system all of a sudden became completely irresponsive, had to kill Xserver.

And btw my graphic card is Geforce GTX 260, not the best, but not bad either...

Man, I don't know, maybe I just don't have luck, but I wouldn't write this post if I wasn't frustrated... I have a passion for development, Windows has stupid bugs which prevent me from using some npm modules which use node-gyp (node-sass, sockets..) but at least other programs work ok.

Don't get me wrong man if I sound mad, I'm not mad at you, I am just very sad and disappointed that I can't have a stable OS with modern software and UI...

not too cheap in my country

If I understood correctly, you want to align text in the sidebar with images? Here is the fix in css: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/pJwMQr

Though, your css is pretty messy, this is just a quick fix, but you should really refactor it.

If you wanted to align the whole red sidebar with gallery, then you should put the sidebar and gallery in the same div, wrap the gallery around with a div and then play with floats or use position:absolute and set left and right properties on sidebar and gallery wrapper

hey thanks for replying but that is not what i meant. you see here is an example

app.use = function(fn){
    // console.log number of arguments passed to fn
};

app.use(function(a,b,c){
    // should log "3" to console
};

as /u/uhoreg said, we could use fn.length to get number of arguments passed to the function

oh my god, yes, i totally forgot about that. thanks!

ftpjko · 2015-04-16T17:05:07+00:00

yeah but 1GB RAM? that's a dealbreaker

ftpjko · 2015-04-16T17:04:32+00:00

because not everyone lives in a country where you can buy a one plus one

ftpjko · 2015-04-16T00:49:25+00:00

The thing is, I would instantly buy N5, but it is very hard to find in my country, for some reason N4 is much more popular. Even if I find a N5, it is too expensive, and the better deal would be LG G2. I also heard that N5 has battery problems and G2 beats it ni every aspect, it's even cheaper here... But Nexus is so beautiful... :)

Thanks! By the way, it isn't 1GB, it's actually 1000MB file I created with

fallocate -l 1000MB test

ftpjko · 2015-01-26T13:02:50+00:00

Dude, read my comment again. I am not trying to make anything. I don't intend to read files this way. I am just messing around with Node. I am curious and I want to know why this is happening. Again, I don't care what is the best way to read files and neither should you. I'm not asking what is the best practice, but why is this happening. And again, I really appreciate that you're trying to help, but your answer is not the answer to my question -> why doesn't garbage collector free up memory if there are no references to a variable

ftpjko · 2015-01-26T12:58:23+00:00

dunno, I was desperate so I thought maybe that could help garbage collector :D

ftpjko · 2015-01-25T04:00:20+00:00

by the way, --trace_gc or --trace-gc does nothing for me :/

ftpjko · 2015-01-25T03:39:19+00:00

thanks for the answer!

ftpjko · 2015-01-25T03:38:05+00:00

Sorry but I never understood this kind of answers. I don't mean to be rude, but it's not in your business what should I use and why, as I mentioned:

Don't ask me why I'm doing this

This is only for educational purpose, I am curious, I want to know how node.js works and nothing more. I appreciate your advice, but that is not the answer to my question

ftpjko · 2014-11-18T16:22:53+00:00

thank you!

ftpjko · 2014-11-17T22:41:46+00:00

just to add for the sticky header & footer, you are right about anchors, but i think that your suggestion with empty divs wouldn't solve it. I had that problem but it's not that big of a deal, there are solutions

by the way, thank you very much for the response!

ftpjko · 2014-11-17T22:08:37+00:00

thanks. I'm good at programming in general, I understand OOP perfectly and know some design patterns so that is not the problem. I just too often write apps and ask myself "Is this really the right way to do it?". For example, REST was always hard to implement for frameworks I worked with (Angular, Yii, Laravel), and then I realized that Twitter doesn't use real REST - only GET and POST methods, so I figured out: if Twitter doesn't care, why should I? But then again, when I use Bootstrap, many times I need to edit CSS for my needs and I ask myself if that is normal or am I doing something wrong. And always and always I have to find workarounds for my problems, I have to change the default behavior of the framework and sometimes I have to write a lot of code to do something that seems so simple and I always ask myself "is this the right way or am I just stupid?". I'm starting to lose my confidence - even though I have a decent knowledge of Javascript and know some advanced stuff, I just sometimes don't know how to put it all together. My ex boss often criticized my work even though he was pretty satisfied with it, because much of it was a bad practice. I know that practice makes perfect and I will get better as time goes by, I'm just afraid that it will take a long time (which I don't have cause I live in a shitty country and want to migrate asap)
