Kubuntu. It's an easy distro to learn, GUI installer, terminal's there so you can learn your way up to Fedora/Debian & eventually Arch/Gentoo/Slackware, and KDE (Kubuntu's DE) is similar to Windows so you'll feel right at home.

If you are a Slavfaggot like myself, Xi is kind of like ши, but the ш sound is more higher pitched and pronounced as if you have a lisp.
So a lisp ши. Half way between ћ and ш.

You can go to Wuxiaworld, a site that translates a bunch of Chinese novels that are basically a bloodier and darker Dragon Ball Z with protagonists that are overbearing evil bastards who even consume the souls of their antagonists in novels and rape bitches left and right,
and find a bunch of posts that provide pronunciations of various names in some chapters. This should give you an idea of how those Chinese characters are used.

I think the lite LTS version has the 9 desktops. I got 11 lite but only has 2 DE. Is based on ubuntu and lubuntu but with fancy UI options. I think is the best out of the box experience if you are an amateur that just moved from any windows and know jack shit about commands, repositories, packages n stuff.

That's an old as fuck novel.
I'm talking the newer novel scene that started like a decade or so ago, which mixes up with fantasy like Dragon Ball does.
Most MCs ARE the ones doing the cucking.
Limitless Sword God basically has an MC raping a bitch that tried to kill him and he doesn't give a flying fuck.
Some like Martial God Asura have MC being "tricked" into fucking bitches with aphrodisiac, but then again this MC has basically blown up and exterminated whole cities irregardless of age, gender, or whatever, and has a tendency to blow up anything that insults him.
ISSTH is the current Dragon Ball equivalent in that MC gets powerup asspulls that make him gather demon and monster armies to Zerg Rush shit like a madman.

Then you have more down to earth shit like Conquest with less focus on magic and shit, and more personal combat, (on gravity tales) where the MC is a berserker warrior who goes on rage killing sprees, and who is a hillbilly with a fucked up aesthetic sense for women that has been drilled into his brain by his hateful foster father.

They are mostly webnovels.
There's so many of them, China can't regulate SHIT.
And they are allowed due to authors being crafty about how they do their things.

I mainly got into Chinkenese novels due to being tired of Japanese sissy faggot protagonists and stories with submissive forever virgin retards and all that moefaggotry.
It started with me reading Re:Monster novel after i couldn't wait for the manga to update,
then i found Wuxiaworld and Gravity Tales and novelupdates with boatloads of Chinese novels with vicious or manipulative MCs,
now i'm on an addictive reading binge worse than what World of Warcraft was when it came out.

If it's a Chinese novel that isn't a gaming novel, which is tagged with a weak to strong protagonist,
chances are at least 80 to 20 that the protagonist is ruthless from start, or becomes ruthless through the story.
Them Chinese novels now are law of the jungle shit.

>>53647953
That's actually a niche in comparison, i know about all the shit on yomanga.
The real fad is VRMMO gaming shit among Korean and Jap novels now. I personally hate them, i hate gamer culture despite playing video games myself.

Among Chinese novels the fad in the past 10 years is Xianxia and XuanHuan, which is basically Immortal Hero Dragon Ball Z shit with either strictly Eastern cultivation systems in the story (Xianxia) or combinations of Western and Eastern like XuanHuan (but you can ignore these semantics).

MC is either born normally in the world, or reincarnates.
MC gets into the cultivation society with the goal of vying for power and becoming immortal.
The world is basically ruled by martial arts sects, or a combo of kingdoms and sects in a weird political twist.
He does so by cultivating through various stages, using various means, by absorbing the world Qi or Energy in whatever manner.
It can incorporate some Western mythological monsters and magic with Eastern mythology and Buddhism and Taoism and other shit.
MC goes rompastompa through the story and is on frequent killing sprees.
Some of the novels like Xian Ni, have an MC who is basically lead and taught by an evil demon and he becomes what can only be described as a Sith Lord in that world.
Romance in these novels is mostly an afterthought, because fuck romance. MC either fucks, rapes, or doesn't give a shit, and the real focus is MC killing and dominating everything.

>People suggesting Linux distros as an alternative to Linux

I'm so sorry OP. Use OpenBSD, best OGL gaming performance on the planet. Unix philosophy, zero bloat. Commands don't do frivolous redundant things, and this ends up saving on disk space and overhead. Works with most Linux applications with the addition of Unix applications. Package managers are always closer to Gentoo's portage, and you can even play Linux certified Steam games at 4 times the framerate due to good driver support. Also, it's more free than Linux, in that it allows the users to change, share, and sell content without being forced to distribute huge loads of source code.
