I want to dual boot Windows and Linux.
I have some Ubuntu experience, but want something new, but now much complicated. What should I pick?
>>53612410
pick windows 10
Manjaro
>>53612410
opensuse leap
yast is life
yast is love
either a *buntu (mate, gnome, xfce) or mint (cinnamon). ignore the botnet meme. its a joke.
Linus looks like the kind of guy that would you fun of you for not knowing something
>>53612410
Just pick some ubuntu flavor; who cares what distro it is as long as you feel comfy with it ?
>>53612410
LFS
>>53612430
I am okay with 7.
>>53612444
I heard that is too complicated.
>>53612454
My bad then, maybe I should've asked there
>>53612457
Is that even usable?
>>53612471
>>53612480
I have a problem with Ubuntu, but I know here is not the best place to ask that.
>>53612480
Tables turned. The nerd bullies the gangsta
>>53612483
What is that?
>>53612454
This is the Stallman board. As in GNU. As in GNU/Linux.
>>53612410
debian
>>53612520
>Is that even usable?
what do you mean?
it's rock solid and sexy as hell
>>53612410
If you're going to dual-boot anyway, just go all out with whatever batshit crazy/unstable distro you want
>>53612520
Literal retards can install Manjaro, just boot from live media and it walks you through it like any other OS install
>>53612561
I was pondering that too
>>53612570
My teacher said it is not that much good.
>>53612607
Eh, I just don't have the time to rice.
>>53612843
Then get Manjaro with your DE of choice. Don't listen to people saying "KDE is too slow, never use it," KDE is slower but that generally doesn't matter when the entire OS takes up 400mb RAM
>>53612843
teacher of what?
>>53612900
KDE and xfce are the best in my opinion
>>53612932
Programming and SO
>>53612900
I wouldn't tell him not to use it, but I find it definitely slow.
Specs:
i5 4460
r9 280x
8gb of RAM
It shows some unintended jerkiness.
>>53612979
oh
anyways, i've been more than happy using it
dunno why your teacher does not like it
maybe it's not cool enuff?
>>53612444
You'd be better off with antergos if you want something arch based that just works
Otherwise, good'ol debian is always a good answer
>>53613017
dude what
i'm using kde5 with amd 64 x2 4800+
and radeon hd3650; is smooth like butter
only gripes with multi-monitor cock-ups, probably thanks to s-video :(
>>53613017
I typically don't see any issues except for startup on 2GB RAM and Core2Duo, maybe it just doesn't scale up well compared to other environments
>>53613036
Idk, he says it is heavy
>>53612410
Linux From Scratch
>>53613036
I bet his teacher runs gentoo with -O10 and -funroll-all-loops
>>53613103
was he talking about the x64-only leap?
or some ye-olde version of opensuse
>>53612410
manjaro or fedora
You could try the testing branch of Debian, if you don't mind having to install sudo and non-free repos, it's not hard, it's just tedious.
I jumped from Ubuntu to Arch, then I tried Debian and Fedora, then manjaro and now I'm back on Arch, the installation is not that hard and it makes you learn a bit more about your computer, if you do it consciously.
>>53612843
>My teacher said it is not that much good.
Your teacher is a retard then.
openSuse is one of the biggest distros for professional use, and you aren't even a beta tester as a private user as you are with Fedora/RedHat
>>53613131
I think he is talking about recent ones.
>>53614048
Well, maybe, I wouldn't be surprised.
>>53613368
Debian seems to be the best option, or Mint, I will have to think a little more.
is that harry potter ?
>>53612457
Yast is yast
Yast is shit
Get a proper distribution
>>53614502
Hello, teacher
>>53612520
> lfs
Linux from Scratch, not recommended if you are new to the GNU/Linux world
>nobody recommending gentoo
slackware. any idiot can install it.
mangeia
>>53612607
Literal retard here to confirm. Manjaro is easy and comfy as fuck
>>53614798
It's no fun if the first post isn't the one recommending Gentoo.
GNU plus FreeBSD
>>53615530
SourceMage is clearly superior
>>53612479
He is that kind od guy
sudo apt-get install gentoo
>>53612457
This
Gnome
MInt.
Ubuntu. I dunno what issue you have with it, but it's got crazy package support, updated regularly, and it's designed to be a good "i don't know what i'm doing" desktop os for people who've never used linux before. Several of my co-workers learned their way around linux through ubuntu. If you're going into any sort of web hosting gig, learn centos or redhat (they're basically the same). It's used by pretty much all of our enterprise customers, so any experience in that environment is beneficial.
Linus tha type of nigga to fuck yo bitch while you in the hospital.
>>53616650
Ubuntu with Gnome, unity, or any other DE.
>>53612410
Mint + Win7
Best combo i have ever had
>>53614048
>openSuse is one of the biggest distros for professional use
Kek
>>53612479
that's the entire linux user base
>>53612479
He is. Linus isn't a nice guy.
Dual booting is bad and you won't like it
Stick with whatever OS you like best, just stay with Linux ffs
linus doesnt even use his own kernel
linus uses a mac/apple
if he doesnt use his own kernel, then why are you using it, anon?
~just neckbeard things~
New version of ubangoo comes out in a month, you could wait for it.
>>53612410
fedora, manjaro, openSUSE, slackware
