Can someone give me a good reason for go over to linux? Is it har to get into as a daily operation system?
>>53189756
Don't use linux. Continue your life as it was. gtfo.
>>53189756
Facebook and youtube work well. If you're switching to learn linux, go with Slackware; less hand holding and less of a resource hog.
I switched when my hardware was dying, and linux gave the machine a further year of life, and it worked well, maybe even better than it had previously.
>>53189782
why?
>>53189784
Thanks for the advice
>>53189756
>Why should i start using Ubuntu
You shouldn't if you don't see reasons
>>53189756
The fact that you need to ask this question is evidence that you dont.

>>53191150

>>53191150

>>53191215
Don't choose Mint

The Arch, Debian or Gentoo are the bestest Ubuntu distros.
>>53191270
Stop being a richard to noobs.
>>53191270
I'm not that retarded I just don't like the desktop either.
>>53189756
>>>/g/flt
Fuck off
>>53191215
Yes goy, one backdoor to another.
Unironically Arch instead of Ubuntu.
Windows is full of bloat but otherwise there's not much wrong with it.
Install Trisquel, the free software version of Ubuntu. That is, free as in libre.

>being this retarded
>>53192840
What's retarded about pointing out why you shouldn't use Mint?
>>53192879
Because there's nothing wrong about it, you can use it without worries if you're a casual user.
>"m-muh botnet maymay"
Seriously? Fuck off...
>>53192973
Did you even read the Techrepublic article?
>>53192973
Lol, the devs don't care about at all about security, don't apply critical patches, and are basically all around retarded. What other reason do you need not to use mint?
It's not that they got hacked, it's that they got hacked because the devs are incompetent.
>>53192989
>>53192998
Doesn't matter, you guys are buttblasted because Linux Mint is still popular and does the job well.
Doesn't matter how much bullshit people say, Linux Mint is the best for normies and everyone else.
>>53189756
people use linux because they were drawn to it, or thought they'd end up banging angelina jolie
if you don't 'get it' just continue your botnet life
>>53193027
Security matters greatly you piece of shit. If you want to live on the edge OK, don't encourage others to compromise security.
>>53193027
I personally like Ubuntu Mate, I think it looks nice but it's made by people who are only partially incompetent.
>>53189756
>hurrdurr convince me to use linux
fuck off. if you need to be talked into linux then you will not want to use linux.
>>53193044
>waaahhh I can't make my system secure myself
Neck yourself, retarded
>>53189756
Linux isn't an operating system, it's the kernel commonly used in GNU systems, which Ubuntu is.
>>53193027
what does linux mint offer normies that ubuntu doesn't? I'm about as casual as it gets and never had a problem with xubuntu.
>>53189756
Works well. All hardware was detected in my laptop (including function keys!) and the Unity desktop is extremely easy to use.
There's also most software you will need. Two tips if you're unsure:
- You can install PlayonLinux, which enables you to run several Windows programs, including MS Office, Photoshop and of course games. (I'm using MS Office 2010 everyday - the only thing that ever didn't work was the Solver addin in Excel)
- You can run most Android apps when you have Chrome and its ARChon addon installed (personally, I only use it for Tinder as I prefer typing on a keyboard).
>>53193090
Better DE, proprietary codecs and better software alternatives installed OOTB.
Not everyone likes Xfce.
>>53189756
Oh and I know it's 4chan but I'll be nice:
DONT LISTEN TO ANYONE ADVISING YOU TO USE ARCH, SLACKWARE, GENTOO, EVEN DEBIAN.
The only recommendable beginner distros are Ubuntu (Unity desktop), Mint (Cinnamon desktop), OpenSuse (KDE Plasma desktop), and Fedora (Gnome desktop).
>>53192989
The one where it starts off by telling us that the website got hacked and then magically jumps to the conclusion that the entire OS itself is insecure?
Great read.
>>53193103
some of that information is a bit dated or possibly wrong. QNX a real-time OS is only used in 1% of real time applications? I know for a fact that ford has been using QNX in their cars for a couple years now.
>>53193125
>recommending mint
pls stop
>>53193103
Gaming on BSD?
>>53193194
Well, the pic is nearly a year old. I know about QNX in cars - but then again there's probably no data on the embedded market as a whole.
>>53189784
>Slackware
Slackware is for 1990s technicool fags who have neon colored DEs with their PC temps as a side pane even though they never look at that shit
>>53191242
Xubuntu. If you have really crappy hardware choose Lubuntu
>>53193064
Are you trolling or legitimately this stupid?
That's not how it works you thick brick. You can't just magically secure something when the source it's from is compromised.
>>53193430
Playstation runs on BSD
Started on ubuntu
Moved to mint
Then tried antergos
Back to ubuntu
Then mint
Mint hacked
Install manjaro + cinnamon
>finally a decent ganooo/linux I can depend on
>>53194128
Started with Suse (Version 10 I think)
Switched to Ubuntu 6.06, kept Ubuntu until 2013 (until version 10.04 - didn't want Unity)
Switched to Mint (but you can't upgrade to the next version, only reinstall)
Now I'm using Kubuntu (14.04) and will probably upgrade to 16.04 when it is released.
>>53193542
I can't find anythimg wrong with any of that
>>53189756
You shouldn't; the modern Unix workstation is a Macbook (pro). Get this instead.
points for Pantera.
If you have to ask then don't use it you dumb fuck, form your own opinions you beta fagot.
>>53193579
>muh open source freedumb shit

Winbaby faggot, ladies and gentlemen, can't even edit and compile a single code when needed.

Use elementaryOS instead, at least startmenu doesn't have adds like Unity.

Being this normie
