anything old should run perfectly fine, sounds like a fagOS problem to me.
wine IS capable of running old shitty software, even more than new windows is actually.
the thing is, a few programs need hackarounds to work properly or work at all, like emulating a specific windows version, manually specifying dlls or dll versions, installing proprietary dependencies manually if the program assumes you just have them and doesnt try to check for it (which would lead to muh dll missing errors on windows btw), and a few other things like display resolution

this isnt how you learn how to use GNU, or how your system works

sure you dont need to know every single detail about your system, but knowing where binaries are located, where libs are, how to use your package manager, how to manually configure shit and override stuff instead of relying on GUI auto config garbage, etc etc… is very useful, arch will teach you how to do this without forcing you to go and do everything by yourself
…that is, after you installed it of course, which means partitioning (MBR, BIOS BOOT, just a normal setup with a FAT32 boot partition if you need one, otherwise the rest ext4)
copypaste commands
configure obvious shit like your username and network (install NetworkManager)

if restarting means sending RESET or RESTART signal, then yes
that means your entire computer turning off (fans might still spin), then turning back on and cycling through your bios, bootloader, etc…
>>12876you literally just copypasted what i said
and parabola will only run properly on freetard hardware because it kicks out ALL proprietary shit, which means your zoomer macbook without an ethernet or VGA port wont be happy about missing proprietary nvidia gpu drivers or wifi card firmware.
except shit like no hardware acceleration or 3d support on modern novideo or amd gpus, your wifi card not working unless you swap it out for a 4$ ath9k card from ebay, and your gay RGB keyboard with macro keys that requirs proprietary drivers to not work properly
actually, this might ironically work without any proprietary drivers since those keyboards usually just bind those macro keys to unused scancodes
use udev/hwdb to assign them to keycodes (no clue about your schizo udev-free setups, figure it out) and have fun with it
dont expect to click and drag installer guishit around and having everything working out of the box like on mint, or youll sit in a tty crying for half an hour, not knowing what to do.

>>12880the only part in arch where you actually have to use your brain is partitioning and grub
if you use EFI trash, enable legacy boot and make a MBR+BIOS partition layout, or GPT+BIOS if you can and have to
(you dont need this unless you want more than 4 partitions on your boot hard drive, or have a 3TB+ boot drive)
if you want to encrypt your shit its a bit more complex, you have to edit some configs and partition a bit different, but it takes 5-10 minutes longer than normally to figure that out
(2 more once you know what to do)
tl;dr
pacman -S grubgrub-install –target=i386-pc /dev/sdX(sdX being your boot drive, e.g. /dev/sda, not /dev/sda1!)

>>12898bad idea, youll be too confused if you have no idea what youre doing, first of all you have to figure out how GNU works before you figure out USE flags and configuring your kernel

unlike in links or lynx…
i like simple stuff and dont need a whole js web browser running that eats up 40 times as many resource as elinks just to play unoptimized poorly written js animations that eat up all my CPU usage i could use to play 4K@420Hz 'p on my 7th CRT monitor that is 2 meters big diagonally"

>archlunixhttps://vid.puffyan.us/watch?v=_JYIAaLrwcYthe pajeet just made a video about how to NOT install arch btw, but this gives you an idea how to do it
youll jut use MBR+BIOS boot and throw everything onto one partition, and only use a boot partition if you have to
and use zswap if you want to, that compreses a part of your RAM and uses it as SWAP, in reality youll never run out of ram if you have more than 4 and dont run modern big games, this will be faster than any hard drive swap is, almost as fast as real ram, and only require minimally more CPU power to (un)compress your zwap.
№12931
>>12929>require you to do shit manuallyyeah, exactly.
you can run 200 thinkpads and let them mine crypto while pirating electricity, or have a single gpu and work your ass off 4 hours per day for a few bucks more.
№12932
>>12929you're supposed to have dedicated gpu's in a warehouse for that, or turn your house into some doom/system shock looking autismo server room with cables everywhere

>>12910What is noveau
What is KMS/DRM
and cuz my card apparently doesn’t have support for it, will shit break?
№12934
>>12933DRM in this case stands for direct rendering manager
the other DRM people cry about all the time is called digital rights management, aka digital restriction management
its the shit that prevents you from swapping your cpu out if you run windows, and forces you to reactivate it
or forcing you to have an internet connection to play singleplayer games to "prevent piracy"
or to prevent you from copying your videogame console games and playing them in an emulator
etc etc…
in other words, DRM means freedom restriction, but this DRM has something to do with your gpu drawing shit to your monitor, so does KMS
dont ask me why soydev named those things like that, but i doubt its coincidence.
KMS stands for kernel mode setting, its shit you need for running gayland, or changing your TTYs resolution
i dont know how it works in detail but it works on any sane GPU driver, like mesa or nouveau
nouveau is the free novideo-gpu driver for GNU and other operating systems, its high quality code actually, but it has a reputation for not working well because novideo gpus refuse to run without proprietary signed firmware
even if you had the source code of that firmware, you'd have to ask novideo to sign it for you, so you effectively have defective hardware that will refuse to do what you want, and can only run it in a system novideo approves of, and only do stuff novideo approves of on it.
in other words, you dont own 'your' gpu, congratulations, you just bought e-waste.
this isnt important for you to know at all, but you asked so i explained it.
'your' card supports lunix with proprietary drivers, its just freetard distros that will have trouble with it, you'd have to manually install the proprietary drivers on those.
arch is a proprietard distro, so pacman -S nvidia-dkms
nobody will realistically run gayland anyway, except fedora tards who use GNOME, its completely useless.
№12935
>>12932sure if you actually wanted to make a ton of profit and had to rent a whole hall and pay for electricity
but all youre doing is pirate some electricity and turn it into money while youre not using your computer and just sit back
№12936
>>12934Is there any way to force my card to accept those drivers
That’s so retarded they don’t let you do what you want with it, holy shit fuck corporations
№12937
>>12934Also the card on my laptop is an nvidia card btw so I’m sure I’ve got to do some tomfuckery to get it to work
№12938
>>12936free drivers without proprietary firmware?
nope.
youre going to have to install the proprietary drivers because novideo forces you to
or well, good luck figuring out novideos private key to sign your firmware after reverse engineering it kek
99% of the time the only difference between novideo drivers and free drivers will be freedom, if all you do is run X11 without KMS enabled or any of that fancy shit
you dont actually need to enable KMS, thats only for running graphical programs in a tty, like playing a video without starting X11 first, or running gayland. novideo cant do that.
in reality, only schizos like me will use a tty for that stuff, and you will just run X11 to play a video anyway.
the proprietary drivers will work on arch, but you have to install them manually since theyre not in the kernel.
pacman -S nvidia-dkms
and reboot, thats literally all you need.
>>12937is it kepler (gtx 780ti family) or older?
then itll work just fine, and in fact, better than with proprietary drivers.
a 780ti is considered the holy grail of freetard gpus because its the last novideo card that completely works at full speed without performance hits, without any proprietary firmware or drivers
as well as the (probably) most powerful (and easiest to find) desktop card youll get, aside from integrated intel shit in old laptops
yes, some 2016-2018 AMD cards will kinda work, but they need driver hackarounds or they might not have working 3d.
that means using ati drivers and having crappier performance than normally (might be better than a 780ti, but also more expensive, and more power draw), plus some broken things such as suspending your machine, GPU brightness control, and issues with CRTs.
thats because ati drivers arent made for those cards, theyre made for 20 year old ATI gpus.
amdgpu/radeon drivers need proprietary firmware to do 3d as well, so no, amd drivers are NOT 'free', this is how open sores lies to you.
it tricks people into buying garbage hardware for "freedom" just to find out that the proprietary shitware is shoved from the driver into firmware blobs, but in the end youll still run proprietary firmware and a ""free"" driver
all the driver does is talk to the gpu and load the firmware onto the gpu.
if you want freedom, use an old intel gpu, or a 780ti.

№12955
>>12950in terms of freedom, yes
so just use arch or mint, mint will even ask you about your drivers i think, your gpu will 'work' and display your desktop and all that with nouveau (even without firmware, but you wont have vsync, hardware acceleration, etc… since it will literally act as a VGA adapter now if you dont have firmware)
with firmware, which is present on mint and any other proprietard 'just werks' distro that doesnt care about freedom, hardware acceleration will kinda work, but it will be slow as fuck because the GPU firmware rejects anything other than the proprietary driver approved and signed by novideo for reclocking the card, that means you CAN run your own drivers (with proprietary firmware) on your card, but itll be stuck at its base clock, so 1/20 of its actual performance, or maybe worse, i dont know.
i just know that youll get 5fps in minetest with it, which would run at 60fps on a potato thinkpad from 2008.
tl;dr, install the proprietary novideo drivers and enjoy your big novideo cock.

№12972
>>12970the cog i blocked spins around entirely in about an hour or so, i just had to glue it in place and tape it to the wall so it lifts the cog and allows the other one to rotate freely without actually flipping the numbers on the counter, i only do this for 3/4 of the year though because it would be suspicious if i suddenly consumed less electricity than normally
