Ubuntu or Linux Mint?
>>51201794
Gentoo.
they're both shitty, but I would go with ubuntu
>>51201794
xubuntu
Arch
Whatever you prefer
>>51201794
I had a family come into my shop with a shitty windows 7 laptop with a fried hard drive. They were dirt poor - couldn't even afford the new hard drive AND the windows 7 serial number had worn off.
I gave them a shitty refurbished drive, and ubuntu and sent them on their way, they came back saying it was great, since it was essentially an internet machine.
gentoo
Debian stable
serious answer here.
choose mint.
>>51201794
Once you use pacman you can never comeback. So, Arch. Or Manjaro if you are new
>file name
This thread was never meant to be taken seriously
Of those two, Mint.
But xubuntu is better than either. Stock Ubuntu is crap, but you can make it great with a small amount of work.
>>51201794
so...ubuntu or ubuntu?
>>51201794
Crunchbang++
>>51201794
*buntu for the repositories and support or Debian for the stability.
Do not use Unity. If you use Unity you accept satan as your true master and automatically reserve a place in hell (via amazon web services).
Debian XFCE/Mate

that's true, lol
sadly i have to work with a SPARC workstation, and sometimes this DE is unavoidable
>>51201794
Mint / cinnamon of course.
What I don't get is that people complain about DEs when you can download others. My advice is to get mint or xbuntu and load that shit up with tons of desktop environments. After you have found one that you like wipe out all of the others.

>>51202812
I'd say Ubuntu Mate if the only options are Linux mint and Ubuntu. I mean, mint is Ubuntu with a theme and worse support, you can just install the mint theme on Ubuntu.
>>51202621
>copying windows
haha.. wow
>>51202886
>mint is Ubuntu with a theme and worse support
But it's currently the most popular distro

Is this your desktop?
What cursor is that?
And are you using Infinality?
>>51203136
sorry senpai, just a screenshot I found on leddit
>>51201893
I've always thought about doing that for my wife. It's more secure, would probably become less bloated over time on her underpowered computer, and be more secure.
>>51203073
That's because it is easy to use and noob normies like the colors
Xubuntu
>>51202131
can confirm open box is da goat
>>51203268
It is also super fast to install and you get every package you need. Very stable too.
Linux mint kde
>>51202886
mint can come with kde, mate, or xfce, its meant to be ubuntu + added stability from having another set of people take a look at the packages they let through, not ubuntu + cinnamon
they also offer a similar thing to Debian: LMDE, i hear it's decent , but i prefer mint kde for the PPA support.
>>51203203
Just wait until she asks to goto this one website that uses a plugin not supported by Linux
>>51201794
Installed ubuntu a week ago bcuz /g/ memes convinced me.
Working out well... Easy to use
Easy to install apps
So far so good
>>51205362
like what? plug-ins use browser specific apis not os specific ones iirc. what's the issue
>>51205440
Mint kde is better. I'd say Kubuntu but they fell for the kde5 meme, which means it's buggy as fuck for the time being, same for Debian testing and Fedora. kde5 isn't ready to be honest. ive seen alot of crashes with it.
>>51205828
Currently trying out ubuntu cinnamon....
Im ok with it
>>51202621
I really want that.
How could i get that on Ubuntu already using XFCE?
>>51203092

Get back to reddit you meme thief

Ubuntu.
Ubuntu is botnet.
Linux Mint
>>51206229
http://askubuntu.com/questions/529846/install-cde-on-ubuntu
>>51201794
Mint. Why? Because Ubuntu is a disgusting Amazon botnet.
>>51201794
ubuntu. Not even close.
Mint is fuckin outdated shit
>>51201794
Ubuntu is an Amazon botnet.
Mint is a bloated piece of shit made by an anti-Semite.
I choose Xubuntu.
>>51201794
Ubuntu Gnome, if you want Ubuntu.
Unity is weird.
Arch or Debian (depending on what you are doing) for anything else.
>>51201812
>>51201893
>>51202041
Disregard these opinions. Ubuntu is great. The guy claiming he turned an unaffordable computer for a poor family into an internet machine (he means all of GNU/Linux) should be required by law to endure hormone replacement therapy.
Antergos. Arch for dummies, it just werks.
>>51201794
Shit or piss
>>51201794
Unity suck ass, Mint is good for new users but if you're already using linux quite some time even just as a normal user you find it outdated as f!@#.
Arch if you're advanced user, Debian if you feel like it.
I don't like Fedora and SuSe but you might.
Of the two, Ubuntu, but only because of the repos. I liked Mint a lot but only used it for a few days because so many packages I use routinely were horrendously out of date, so hello Kubuntu 15.10.
Ubuntu clear winner, especially after u tweak the desktop to your liking
>>51201794
Gentoo faggot
Mint is just Ubuntu with a bunch of bloatware, so I would go for Ubuntu.
You can install another DE, so you don't even have to use unity.
>>51209797
it just breaks as well. Antergos is bad idea
>>51209797
no, one year, never had problems.
>>51202812
No DE is perfect really. Everyone ends up with one they prefer to the rest, but very few people are 100% satisfied. XFCE is the first one I really used long term, and it's the one I kept returning to afterwards. Lately though I'm really impressed with Fluxbox, and think I may prefer it.
The thing about it is that it blows out of the box. It almost feels broken even. Someone new to *Nix, or someone who doesn't care about customization would probably hate it. If you go to a WM expecting it to be a full DE by default you will definitely hate it. If you do like to customize, and don't mind manually editing files you can build exactly the desktop you want on top of it.
I want to turn an old laptop into a Lunix machine but can't decide which distro to go with. Is Xubuntu or Mint + MATE better for toasters?
>>51201927
I'm a long time Ubuntu/Mint user and I tried out an install of Antergos.
I got everything running, but since I'm on /g/ I'm inherently autistic and hate change.
Currently running Ubuntu Server with Cinnamon DE.
>>51203136
Pretty sure the cursor is either DMZ Black or Adwaita.
puppy linux fuckerrrssss
Mint because it is actually good.
I personally have never been able to stick with a distro for longer than 6 months. I guess I have always been curious as to what else is out there. In my opinion I don't think it matters because their both debian based and extremely simplistic.
>>51201794
Neither, Fedora.
>>51211639
>Mint
>Good
pick one.
>>51211673
I pick Mint/good.
out of those two? Easily mint. 100%
>>51201922
My man.
>>51211689
No such thing, Mint can't be good.
>Ubuntu Mate
Xubuntu is also good, but Mate is just rock solid.
Mint is just a poorly pre-riced & bloated version of Ubuntu, with a tendency to break due to the developers "mintification" of the Ubuntu packages.

>>51208481
>Mint is ... made by an anti-Semite.
You act like this is a bad thing. If Xubuntu was maintained by anti-Israel folks, it would be the best *buntu based distro. Since it's not, it's a tie with Mint Cinnamon.
>>51201794
Debian obviously.
>>51212757

Ubuntu Mint
>>51201794
Ubuntu, it gives me less heartache. Mint is corrosive to brain.
OpenSUSE
>>51203203
Give her Lubuntu. It sounds like that computer is a piece of shit.
>>51201794
Serious answer:
I would suggest Mint - Linux Mint Debian Edition.
It is running great on any machine i own and several machines i installed for friends.
In fact it is a very userfriendly Debian with an easy installer and it' s rolling release.

>>51214983

>>51212731
XFCE is just great. The more i use it, the more i love it.
I've tested both (and deb and arch) for a few days and xubuntu is definitely the better distro if you're looking for an internet machine or something super friendly. Much less heartburn.

You shouldn't have to disable that shit.

True, but at least this way Ubuntu is accessible for everyone. Shuttleworth has invested an insane amount of money on Ubuntu if it weren't for the ads Ubuntu had to be made a paid product. Variants of Ubuntu like Kubuntu for example that are also being advertised on their official website do not have product suggestions based on search results so at least they're giving you an option but that option isn't made too clear of course.
