What do you do if you hate Windows, yet are too stupid to use Linux?
I have tried so many times to get a Linux distro working well, and I always rage install Windows a few weeks later.
install gentoo

We become winshill on /g/
You install Arch. For the very simple reason that you don't have to compile shit yourself and you learn linux rapidly. It's pretty much learn linux or die - the distro.
Trust me I was the same 3 months ago but now I never boot my windows partition.
>>53733537
There's no way you're too stupid to use Ubuntu or Mint.
>>53733537
>too stupid to use Linux
impossible
>>53733591
Sort of what this guy said
Arch does involve setting up a lot of stuff yourself, but the biggest thing that would help on any distro is to disable X11 (the display server that shows graphical windows and applications)
Force yourself to git gud at the command line, ideally BASH until you're competent

My mine problems are getting my hardware to work right.
My laptop has a 3840*2160 screen and has Nvidia Optimus, and on top of that I play games and vsync litterally makes games unplayable on my 48hz display.

this
>>53733591
hardest part of Arch is immediately after the install....setting up Xorg, DMs, DEs, etc. At least on a virtual machine it is

#pacman -S kde-desktop kde-applications
All done

Stop falling for the linux meme.

yeah...you forgot to install and configure Xorg and xinitrc, along with a DM, which were complete pains for me with drivers. Liked I said, at least on a virtual machine, I don't know how it is for real

Too poor.
Ideally I would love a hackintosh desktop.

How can you even go wrong with, for example, Ubuntu? What triggers your rage?
ubuntu is pretty damn idiot proof at this point. or debian.
>>53734007
Some programs not scaling
Some programs lagging to the point they are unusable
Videos laggy
GUI laggy
Driver based VSYNC that I cannot figure out how to disable
And making small changes somehow fuck everything up
Its probably my laptop's setup, but its all I have right now.
>>53734074
Have you installed your GPU drivers?
>>53734097
Yes, only one specific method and driver version works.
The rest puts me on a black screen and I have to go into the terminal mode (or whatever its called) and remove them.
>>53733913
pacman -S xorg-server
echo "exec startkde" >> ~/.xinitrc
What do does /g/ think of chromixium/cub linux? actually, what does g think of chrome os even?

>has never tried to get digital audio working in any Linux distro
It's a fucking quagmire of broken drivers and OS components. Endless configurations and workarounds, and still it won't work. Fuck it, fuck all of it.
I could deal with losing Vegas Video, 3dsmax, PS, and even the most basic of protections like not being able to crash your system by completely filling up the OS drive.
But fucking this? Linux is truly time sink the OS. There is FUCKING NOTHING at the end of that rainbow.
Linux is easy. You really must be retarded, Are you on disability?
>>53733537
You can only be lazy or scared of using Linux but not stupid.
>>53733537
Install linux mint or something like it.
The default Cinnamon windowmanager will give you a windows-esque layout & unlike arch or other learn or die versions many people here praise you can just use it like windows & learn some basics on the side. Then when you're ready with pure basics you can try something like arch & actually do harder stuff with a bit more ease and comfort.

Of course I have working audio. I don't understand the problem. I've barely had to touch anything related to the audio system.
>>53734735
I can't help but notice you said
>audio
and not
>digital audio
>analog headphone peasant detected
>>53733537 (OP)
Try Mac OS X. And if you're too stupid for this hand holding OS, you might as well off your self and be done with it.
OP, just live your life and choose what works. Ask yourself, why do you dislike Windows? What is it you wish to achieve with your time on the computer? Which system on paper should give you the most enjoyable experience?
>>53733537
Install Cygwin
It has all the good parts of UNIX based CLI development environment minus the shitiness of xorg, pulseaudio, systemd, gnome, kde, etc
Unless you have money to spare in which case buy a Mac
Maybe mac but at least you aren't poor because those things ate awfully expensive.
