Doing a month on Mint Linux as my primary to educate myself. Have a history with Windows. Honestly not loving it. Pros: it's snappy, more customisable. Cons: took an hour to get .mkv files to play, took an hour to get steam working, Netflix is only working on Chrome. 15 days to go before I go back to Windows 10.

It takes a little set up, but then it's stable.
Does anyone need a logo designed?

Arch with gnome or i3.I usually install both on the same installation so I can easily switch back and forth.

That's not a linux
>>51882789
After having arch, mint, lubuntu, opensuse, fedora and lxle installed for a while, I got sick and tired of mint, le ebin meme tippin' distro and opensuse. It seems only arch and ubuntu derivatives manage to make comfy OSes with some mainstreamness (ie longevity, support, etc).

DEBIAN VS ARCH.
GO!
Mint Cinnamon all day
Might try Ubuntu eventually but probably not
>tfw I'm the only person ITT using LXDE/LXQt
Does that make me a hipster?
>>51885290
LXQt is great I just wish it had more support overall. It still feels like a hacked together mess.
Fast as shit, though.
>>51885407
Yeah, it doesn't have much in the way of extra themes or widgets and isn't very customizable but it's been pretty fast and more or less stable for me. Hopefully they'll keep adding more features and polish to it.
CentOS
Openbox
>>51882789
I notice theres no "none of them; they all suck" option
mint is the greatest distro ever
all other distros have been deprecated
>>51884253
Googling how to get .mkv files to work, installing vlc player, still not working, keep reading, looks like i need install codecs or some shit.
Install steam from website. Doesn't work. Google that shit. Figure out how to uninstall, then reinstall from repository. I guess I got the wrong version.
It's just not very intuitive for a new user.
Debian + Gnome
I haven't used linux very much, but why do some people dislike Gnome so much? It's much better than KDE.
>>51882850
You haven't even voted your distro kek
>>51886089
What makes you think people like KDE?
>>51882789

What is up with all these cheapass africans using xfce?

I'm about to purge Ubuntu and going for Debian on the laptop. What can I expect?

Debian + XFCE with Compton comfy race.

I mostly use Openbox, but Awesome is k as well.
What do you guys use for tiling on floating managers?
>>51887654
You'll have to configure a few minor things that you don't on Ubuntu. Remember to add contrib and nonfree to /etc/apt/sources.list if you're not a puritan
>The one distro that gets memed hard into installing is 7th

Debian
KDE
SuSE (a version from 2001 before the "Open" part was added) was my first and even then it was very invested in KDE. I've been a KDE person ever since. I came to Debian a little over two years ago and intend to stick with it.
>>51886236
I have a brand new i7 and a meme graphics card. I use xfce because its usable unlike gnome or kde.
>>51882789
Arch + xmonad for fucking around
Debian + dwm for stability
>>51882789
Fedora + GNOME
Anything else is shit for desktop
>>51882789
I'm in the process of installing Gentoo on every machine I can get my hands on right now. I'm having issues in the kernel compilation but that's about it.
I might go to a *BSD if Wine works in Linux emulation, since I've heard that you can get equal or better performance out of BSD for some reason. Problem is compatibility is already bad enough as it is, so if it doesn't work, it's gentoo on everything.
Funny thing though, is that I'll be installing Gentoo for a friend in exchange for a free pizza, then I'll laugh if/when something breaks and he has no clue what to do with it.
>>51891017
I like freeBSD better for compiling everything, i think it is just the different mindset i have using eithrer linux or *BSDs though.

arch + wmutils is the only sensible combination but I use openbox because I'm a lazy faggot
I guess this is somewhat related, I have microsoft azure with a Ubuntu Server 14.04 LTS and im able to download and update applications but I cant remote connect or even ping anyhting. Also azure says ive used 0.00p of my balance. Have I messed up?

.mkv files should play out of the box
steam is normally the same, except you have your graphic card drivers messed up
i think you just made some mistakes while installing, dont blame linux for that
>>51885988
well you also have to get codecs in windows as far as i remember.
sure, installing is a bit diffrent. but doing it with the terminal is actually not that difficult
>apt-get install steam
or with your package manager, just search steam and it will install the latest version of it

Are you using the synaptic package manager to install packages? It might be easier for somebody who's just started to get to grips with the basics.

>>51882850
Mah nigga.
>>51897092
The interface for me is just so cluttered and primitive. I know it's designed to be ultra-lightweight and easily configurable, but for me I think using a window manager does the job better and more effectively than XFCE, and looks nicer with a little bit of configuration.
That's just me though.
>>51882789
Slackware / XFCE
Fedora 23 + i3
XFCE for my gf

In my free time I'd use arch because I love a time sink. If it was for actual extended and dedicated use I'd probably pick fedora if I started over again. Right now I'm on a copy of botnet 7. Will probably switch to fedora when support ends.
>arch on top
Why would so many people use that broken distro?
Xubuntu with XFCE/i3. Might go back to arch, but idk.
