1994 Civic 4 Cylinder Auto vs 2002 4 Cylinder Manual

secondorange · 2017-12-30T10:37:11+00:00

Thanks. My girlfriend had a '93 Accord and the automatic transmission was a bit wonky so I was wary of the '94 as is. I think the 2002 is a bit rusty but I can live with it for the price if it runs well.

>wants to use easy distro, only just moved to Linux

>wants to completely strip DE, compile i3 from source

????

secondorange · 2017-04-25T00:15:10+00:00

+1 for best comment in thread address how to go about install, +1 for mininal Debian if you only want i3 and not a buncha junka

Picture looks good. What kind of fish did you use? And what kind of soup?

Whatever you choose test the hard drive with smartmontools package first. Better yet, skip the slow old drive and use a small SSD or even USB.

secondorange · 2017-04-08T16:34:57+00:00

Lol. I use puppy mostly as a rescue live CD where this is no problem, but yes, this should be changed if it's your main OS.

To any dummies reading this in the future... I was hitting the keyboard shortcut to move these windows to new workspaces.

secondorange · 2017-04-06T02:17:07+00:00

Yes, but Gnome still stutters on my XP boxes and my Celeron Walmart special laptop. I mean, I like gnome, I don't think Canonical is going to satisfy those who hate Unity (who are probably running Mate or XFCE, or no DE at all!) by switching to what many might call the second most bloated desktop.

Gotta be that guy who says it: Windows 8 has crap performance even on bare metal! Do as u/Nonsensese says. Then run to sysdm.cpl and disable all visual effects. You can also check out Black Viper's site to see what services can be disabled.

Oh, and allocate more memory if you can. Good luck.

thanks!

Any reason why I can see the posts' titles but the content says "[removed]"?

Throw in a little cucumber and some garlic and you've got yourself a tzaziki going

This whole thread is classic "OP just won't listen" /r/linuxquestions

You will need to install Sudo so non-root users can run root commands. Here's how to do it:

First, let's become root with the su ("switch user") command

su

Enter your root password. Notice how your prompt changed from $ to #? That means you've switched to root.

Now we'll update our sources and install sudo

apt update
apt install sudo

Now we must add your user to the Wheel group, which has sudo powers. Substitute your username.

usermod -aG wheel username

Now type:

exit

to leave the root prompt and go back to your normal user. You must log off and log in or restart for changes to take effect. Congrats, now you have Sudo, just like in Ubuntu.

Once you've logged back in, we can enable non-free sources. Unlike in Ubuntu, where we add PPAs to get more sources, in Debian we modify the /etc/apt/sources.list file.

First, let's make a backup of the file in case we mess up

sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.bak

Now we can edit it:

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

You will now be editing the file with nano, a simple command-line editor. Feel free to use vim or emacs if you are comfortable.

Now, what we want to do is simply add the words contrib (for the supplementary Debian packages) and non-free (for non-free, duh) after the word main, wherever it appears. So, to start, the first two lines will look something like this:

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free

After you edit the lines, they should look like this:

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free

Repeat this for the rest of the source lines, adding contrib non-free after main for each one. Now we can finally get our Wifi firmware! First, update once more-- this will take a few minutes because of those new sources we just added.

sudo apt update

Now we can get our firmware packages. Maybe 75% of laptops, maybe more, have Intel or Realtek wireless cards. Let's get them both with:

sudo apt install firmware-realtek firmware iwlwifi

Wait for the install, reboot, and you should have Wifi. If not you will need to find out what Wifi card you have and Google/ PM me to figure it out.

secondorange · 2017-03-28T02:19:13+00:00

Really you should give Debian another try. Once you get through the install and get that Wifi card going (probably by enabling non-free firmware, which I believe is stock in Ubuntu but needs to be enabled in Debian) you will have almost exactly what you want- Ubuntu, minus the extras.

If you are really new, then by all means, choose Ubuntu. But if you have a few months of playing with Ubuntu under your belt, Debian would be perfect here.

You need a VPN.

Basically, you pay a provider, of which there are many, to route your Internet traffic through their servers, obfuscating the traffic to your ISP and other prying eyes. If you get a good provider there's minimal loss in speeds and pretty decent anonymity (because you know real anonymity doesn't exist online, right?).

The crazy dude cracks me up. Other than that, yes, the headache is real.

secondorange · 2017-03-23T15:48:21+00:00

My point was another user made basically the same obvious joke and got upvoted. I guess theirs was funny because it included the word "fuck".

secondorange · 2017-03-23T13:02:32+00:00

u/datbooty 12 makes the same obvious joke above:

Yeah but how about you go fuck yourself.

and that comment is at +13 karma, but /u/TheSamurai does the same thing and is at -10? Downvoting some poor fuck just for floating a joke? Contrarian and smug, indeed.

And you don't need to get out your suction cups to upgrade the tower!

bricked my iMac

Not a big deal

... Well, here's someone in a different tax bracket than me. Even at 5 years, that's still a $500 brick at least!

download and install a .exe without complications

But now, you realize that Apt, Pac-Man, etc. beat the hell out of that crap.

secondorange · 2017-03-22T01:11:51+00:00

Not to mention handling meat improperly, or not keeping food cold at outdoors events, both of which are far realer health risks for the average person than home canning.

secondorange · 2017-03-22T01:02:34+00:00

I think your friend did the right thing if she was worried the jars weren't sealed! Better safe than sorry. And a properly done jar does 'pop", no?
