by installing gnu/linux, dumb ricershit
Most of the time, if you change something in Windows, it will shit itself. Don't do it. Just dualboot if you want. Linux is the best for theming.
What would the learning curve be for a gaymer like me who just looks for the button that describes what I want to do?

Use Windows Classic Themes and try not to care so much.

That's actually flat out wrong. Except for some rare occurrences, such as VirtualBox not working with modified explorerframe ricing windows is fairly safe.

Because who needs vsync, right? Just tear my shit up.
>>54298280
can you speak english please
also, your windows rice will never be as good as mine
>>54298323
>implying Windows classic turns off vsync instead of changing the hardware which handles the window redraw

, it's 'Linux', not 'GNU/Linux'. The most important contributions that the FSF made to Linux were the creation of the GPL and the GCC compiler. Those are fine and inspired products. GCC is a monumental achievement and has earned you, RMS, and the Free Software Foundation countless kudos and much appreciation.
Following are some reasons for you to mull over, including some already answered in your FAQ.
One guy, Linus Torvalds, used GCC to make his operating system (yes, Linux is an OS -- more on this later). He named it 'Linux' with a little help from his friends. Why doesn't he call it GNU/Linux? Because he wrote it, with more help from his friends, not you. You named your stuff, I named my stuff -- including the software I wrote using GCC -- and Linus named his stuff. The proper name is Linux because Linus Torvalds says so. Linus has spoken. Accept his authority. To do otherwise is to become a nag. You don't want to be known as a nag, do you?
(An operating system) != (a distribution). Linux is an operating system. By my definition, an operating system is that software which provides and limits access to hardware resources on a computer. That definition applies whereever you see Linux in use. However, Linux is usually distributed with a collection of utilities and applications to make it easily configurable as a desktop system, a server, a development box, or a graphics workstation, or whatever the user needs. In such a configuration, we have a Linux (based) distribution. Therein lies your strongest argument for the unwieldy title 'GNU/Linux' (when said bundled software is largely from the FSF). Go bug the distribution makers on that one. Take your beef to Red Hat, Mandrake, and Slackware. At least there you have an argument. Linux alone is an operating system that can be used in various applications without any GNU software whatsoever. Embedded applications come to mind as an obvious example.
Thanks for listening.

i don't use windows anymore and i don't have the files
TL;DR: install arch with openbox

>By my definition
Enjoy repeatedly pasting this puke over and over until you become a ``nag''.
>>54298422
Thanks, any recommended desktop environment?
>>54298382
It literally does you dumb fuck. vsync is built into aero which you disable if you switch to classic. If your GPU drivers handle desktop vsync then that's great. Set your desktop to portrait mode and try scrolling in browser.
>>54298444
openbox, i also installed xfce4 because it has some useful utilities. Install nitrogen to set a wallpaper
you can find me in the desktop thread if you need any help
>>54298471
thank you very much for your help
>>54298496
sure
>>54298445
>it literally does
No, it doesn't. It turns off your windows ability to utilize vsync through the GPU. vsync is still available and your display will still synchronize to your monitors refresh rate, it is just that the managed window drawing is done through the CPU.
I never said it would prevent screen tearing, dipshit.
lol don't you have some Fallout 4 to be playing?

Good job quoting the first google result you found, though.
>>54298621
I didn't quote anything though. And you don't have a clue what you are talking about.
>It turns off your windows ability to utilize vsync through the GPU

Fucking decide you dipshit
>I never said it would prevent screen tearing, dipshit.
You literally did in reply to my first post. I know that using classic causes tearing because I fucking went through this problem myself.

Ironic that you keep posting this shit yet have steam open in your screenshot.
Neck yourself out of /g/ manchild.
