Should I let /g/ make unimportant life decisions for me?

Install Windows 10. It comes with Ubuntu.
>>
Should you do it you might like Ubuntu MATE better, or maybe Cinnamon, even Xubuntu might work; you just have to get to know desktop enviroments
>>
yes.

if you haven't used linux yet ubuntu is a good first distro. I run win7/ubuntu dual boot, am almost always on ubuntu except for games.
>>
Are you into PC gaming?
If yes, then no
If no, then maybe, but try out different distros before you decide.
>>
>>54404700

linux mint is a good babby's first linux
>>
>>54404656
Get Xubuntu or Kubuntu.
Unity a shit.
>>

>gaming/vr

Solution: It's 2016 - only normies own only 1 computer. Your gaming computer can have de-botnetted Windows 10 and your laptop/home server can run Linux.

>>54404814
madVR is not VR retard
>>
>>54404777
i know. so what? do you want them to be fake? thats what most of you look like.
>>
Yes, if you don't NEED apps that work on Windows only like Photoshop.
>>
>>54404814
Or you can just run debotnetted Windows 10.
>>
>>54404853
True, and to each his own. But Linux can be better customized to one's own liking.
>>
>>54404686
What's the differences between them?

I already have debotnetted 7, is there any point in going through the trouble again for 10?
>>
>>54404656
install gentoo
>>
>>54404880
If you want the Windows 10 features, otherwise you'll be fine
>>
I will switch when it doesn't require me to throw away my GPU and buy a new one
>>
Sure, try a live CD or in a VM first
