What Distro do you use?
>>53084704
ubuntu gnome edition
i use windoes 10 cause im not a yuropoor, and im not a "elite hacker"
>>53084704
all of my triggers have been activated
windows 10/debian on desktop
Ubuntu and windows 7 on laptop
>>53084704
I use ubuntu. I tried a bunch of other distros but seem to like ubuntu the best so far.
>>53084867

Slackware

How do you like opensuse? i just checked out tumbleweed and it looks interesting. Do you recommend it? Why do you like it? What's the package manager like?
Debian 8 with MATE. The default Debian look (Gnome?) was terrible and hard to navigate so I switched to MATE which is much easier to use. I will admit that I actually reinstalled Debian because I couldn't figure out how to uninstall gnome and install MATE without breaking everything.
I have Windows 7 on another partition but I barely touch it these days. I miss a few games and a few applications, but I'm gradually getting much more used to it.
>>53084704
I have a CentOS7 machine too but I'm entirely too lazy to go out to the office to take a screenshot of it.
>>53084867
he said LINUX distro
Arch
>>53084704
yes
>>53084944
It's pretty nice, it's been justwerks mode since I installed. I used Ubuntu before and although I do like Unity, I like the features of GNOME3 a little better, hence my setup.
I chose Tumbleweed to get the latest GNOME3 DE/apps and an up to date kernel without having to configure an Arch install. It's a really good distro if you want the latest KDE5 as well.
If you want to try opensuse on a live usb, go here:
https://geckolinux.github.io/
The zypper package manager seems alright to me, no real complaints. And YaST can be useful as well, I quite like the 1-click install feature: You can browse software.opensuse.org for software, then click an install button from there and it opens YaST with the correct URLs/repos plugged in. Makes certain things easier to install than even Ubuntu.

Ganoo Plus Arch Loonax on desktop, home server, HTPC & 3 laptops.
Gentoo running xmonad
Void linux. It's pretty good it has i3 gaps and icecat in their repositories
Gentoo and Ubuntu
>>53084704
mint.
>It's ok.
Mint with Xfce.
So what's the difference between Debian or Mint or Ubuntu other than how the file browser works?
Can I technically just pick up Ubunutu and if I don't like it, can I just modify it to look and work exactly like Mint?
Is there a key difference other than basic programs installed?
>>53085094
Okay thanks. I'm gonna dual boot it and if I enjoy it, good bye ubuntu
CRUX
>>53085313
>So what's the difference between Debian or Mint or Ubuntu other than how the file browser works?
The default installed packages, the packages in the repo, the versions of the packages in the repo, ubuntu also uses some patched libraries to make them work with unity.
>Can I technically just pick up Ubunutu and if I don't like it, can I just modify it to look and work exactly like Mint?
Pretty much, yes
>>53085234
What's so good about Void linux? I've heard about it recently
>>53085483
It's a bit like arch, however it has a musl version. Instead of openssl it uses libressl. Packages are automatically recompiled by some bot, you can see if it fails and all, pretty cool.
It doesn't depend on systemd, instead it uses runit with simple shell scripts.
>>53085157
At least throw an HD3450 in it so you can have accelerated h264 playback.
>>53085483
It's another meme for people who'd like to spend more of their time on earth configuring their system instead of doing any productive work on it.
Just stick with Debian or Mint like a productive member of society.
>>53085575
What about opensuse?
>>53085614
Kraut tier
>>53084704
I'd install linux on my tablet-laptop hybrid, but it's nearly impossible or very difficult due to UEFI. Thanks Microsoft!
>>53085614
Opensuse is good. I've used it in the past. In general, I use the community distro for whatever my clients use in their datacenter. Back then, my client was using Suse Enterprise for an SAP rollout. I was using OpenSUSE 11.3 in a VM supporting their efforts. Suse was... "comfy".
>>53085575
But it has an installer you don't have to configure anything if you don't want to.
>>53085763
This guy is a just meme spouting idiot, check >>53085634 for example
>>53085781
Dude what are you talking about? It literally has a GUI installer that does not need configuration.
>>53085038
Nah nigga.
I have Arch installed on my thinkpad T440p
Arch
>>53084704
Arch with i3, it's been absolutely great so far.
>>53085763
But what benefit is there other than Debian or Mint? Give me one solid reason.
Debian and Mint are much more stable distros with easy installers that can be fine tuned if you've got more experience, if you're running on anything more powerful than a first gen i3 you're not going to notice a shred of difference between Debian and Arch.
Why make the program yourself when you can install it automatically in the terminal with absolutely no difference in performance.
>>53085882
It's rolling release, the packages are more up to date, it uses libressl, you can use it with musl. It's much much easier to contribute a port/package.
>Why make the program yourself when you can install it automatically in the terminal with absolutely no difference in performance.
Void has a fucking installer for the 3th time your retard.
>>53085882
This.
I like learning linux, but why should I have to learn shit that should just fucking work anyway. Stuff that is working at first, then breaks. That's counter productive.
>>53085922
When you install something like arch or gentoo, you know what these "magic installers" actually do under the hood, you will know what library does what, what package does what, how to compile a kernel, learn a few new commands. Oh and it's fun.
People like you who I'm sure are "really into technology" won't understand though.
>>53084704
Desktop => win10 shitrace
Laptop => Ubuntu 14.04 masterrace
lookin forward to 16.04
>>53085963
No, I understand, it's just I'd like to learn when I want to learn, not when I HAVE to learn because I'm about to sit down with the OH and plex fucks up.
That said, I do get where you're coming from, shit just seems to break at the most inconvenient time for me.
Also, any open source alternative to plex that do transcoding?
>>53086030
apparently plex is gonna use (or already uses?) mpv, which is free software.
I don't exactly know what you mean by trans-coding, but have you tried ffmpeg?
>>53085643
You just have to make a partition for the uefi in your table. I'm reasonably sure ubuntu does this for you and the arch wiki explains step-by-step how to do this yourself
>>53086132
I can't even boot from my usb because even if I disable the windows loader from bios, it still goes to windows bootloader

>>53086117
I got my wording wrong, I suppose I just meant a DLNA server in general that can transcode. So my receiver can't for example play .mkv, so plex uses a profile which will convert and stream that format to a compatible one on the fly using the PC's CPU, to a compatible format depending on the receiver/device.
I've not tried ffmpeg, I was pretty much a win-babby with minimal Linux experience until a couple of weeks ago and have gone through 3 distros since
>>53084704
openSUSE Tumbleweed on desktop, Xubuntu 14.04 LTS on netbook.
>>53086181
only desktop in this thread that doesn't look shit
xubuntu 15.10
>>53086308
Forgot the screenshot.
>>53086332
what theme is that?
>>53084941
mah yeti
you ready for 14.2?
lubuntu GNU/Linux, LXDE is the best desktop ever and if they'll ever get LXQt on the fucking ball and fixed up it will be even better.
>>53086375
pre-included numix theme
>>53086332
It's just a photo of a task bar. I could literally paint a fucking taskbar on my bedroom window and it would look the same.
Post some proper screenshots senpai?
Linux Mint with Cinnamon
Installed i3 recently though to try out, really like it so far. Started out with gnome 3 but quickly switched because it felt like it was designed for a touch screen.
>>53086488
lol what are you talking about?
Linux Mint with Cinnamon/Windows 10 for mah games
dualboot rulz
>>53086588
I stepped back from Mint after getting the impression they are slow to release updates/security fixes.... and that their website has an out-of-date SSL cert.
I think Ubuntu with Unity is the best distro
>>53086617
I'll probably install a different distro soon, not sure what yet though. Still pretty new but learning at a good pace.
>>53086751
I recommend Ubuntu with Unity! :)
>>53086769
Get the fuck out.
>>53086751
Same here, I went from Ubuntu to Fedora, straight back to Ubuntu, wanted more so I'm now on Debian. Seemed like a good halfway between the two.
Next step (unless someone convinces me otherwise) is Manjaro>Arch, in due time
>>53086795
Why? It's a good desktop and I like it :)
>>53086815
We're not falling for your lies, amazon.
>>53086769
Haven't tried unity but I doubt I'd like it, I like the more configurable DEs.
>>53086878
Uninstall the amazon app, and turn off scopes. easy as that. and the 16.04 release won't come with that stuff anyway.
>>53086918
Yeah then all you're left with is a shit DE instead. Great improvement.
>>53086926
>implying the de is shit
I like it a lot
>>53084704
>birtday card
some pro dev goin on in there
>>53086957
this senpai desu baka
>>53086957
Well not everyone can have good taste anon. If they did our society would have no contrast.
>>53086962
It was a mistype when I made it, I fixed it when I turned it in for a grade. got a 100% :)
>>53086976
For me, de/wm goes
Unity>KDE5 Plasma>Budgie>i3>Gnome3>xfce4>cinnamon>Pantheon
>>53087004
>next preferred is KDE
yep, that makes sense
>>53086980
good 4 ya fgt, is that material theme for atom?
>>53086030
The only one I know of is emby
>>53087015
idk, it's just stock Atom and whatever theme I'm using for icons and unity theme
>>53087031
>emby
Legend. Thanks man
>>53087031
>>53087082
Just to say that again; fucking legend. Emby looks the shit.
arch as main, fedora in a vm for I dunno wat reason, and xubuntu in a vm to be a test web server
i run arch on my desktop and antergos on my laptop
>>53087236
Are they not the same, bar the install process?
>>53087350
Maybe anon was lazy.
>>53087107
>>53087082
Glad you like it
>>53086613
>censors the name
Oh no! Now if I ever encounter this anonymous poster, I will know the name of the user he has logged in as on his machine!
>>53087937
kek. Probably "Barry" or "Keith"
>>53085094
What are you talking about. Installing software is a pain on ubuntu, at least compared to the AUR with yaourt.
>>53088004
Keith is such a bad name
>>53088060
Keith is always the worst guy.
>>53088090
yeah
