Intended for users of all levels, including absolute beginners.
There are four ways to try Linux, you can:
1) Install a Linux OS on a VM (Virtual Machine/VirtualBox) for "safety purposes"
2) Use the Live ISO directly without installing anything, that way, you can get a "full Linux experience".
3) Dual-boot Linux with Windows/Mac (recommended if you want to learn more about Linux)
4) Go balls deep and overwrite everything with Linux (not recommended)
Before asking, please search for answers to your questions in resources.
Please be civil, notice the "Friendly" in every Friendly Linux Thread.
Understand that much of your software from Windows will be unavailable, although maybe wine can make up for it.

Windows and OSX users, how does it feel to know there's an entire group of individuals who are better with computers than you are? Meet GNU+Linux users. They are better than you.
They understand the hardware better. They understand the basic principles of computer science better. They know how networks work better than you. They understand the pros and cons of filesystems (including NTFS and HFS+) because with GNU+Linux you get to choose filesystems. They can probably program, too, since learning a scripting language vastly improves productivity under GNU+Linux (and this really pisses you off, since programming was one thing you always wanted to do but could never really find any practical projects to work towards.) Oh, and they probably know Windows better than you, too, since most advanced GNU+Linux users these days are ex-Windows and ex-OS X users who managed to learn GNU+Linux years ago when it was much less "user friendly."
At this point, a confident individual would admit to himself that he has a lot to learn about GNU+Linux and computers in general, but since you lack the self esteem to do that you run back to Windows or OS X, install a MMORPG and keep repeating to yourself "at least I can run games or look pretty. At least I can run games or look pretty." You're also probably very pleased about being able to sync with your horribly restrictive DAP... because Microsoft or Apple have somehow managed to convince you that being shiny is the most important thing to consider when buying a device.
At this point you probably rationalize "well the only thing I know is Windows or OS X, so I must be a Windows or OS X expert!" as if knowing only one thing makes you an automatic expert, or that learning GNU+Linux forces you to forget how to use Windows or OS X entirely.
Meet GNU+Linux users. They're better than you.

I know this is bait but even 8gb of RAM for the ITX build I just made for my mom is overkill. Facebook eBay and Netflix don't need no 8 gibibytes of ramerino. She definitely doesn't need no God damn 16 giberygoops in that bitch.
>>52938725
Yeah whatever...
I've been using 2gb ddr2 since 2006 and theres been very few instances where I felt I needed more.

Other business laptops are also welcome in /tpg/ (e.g. Dell Latitude/Precision, HP EliteBook/ZBook).
----
If you're looking for purchase advice, READ THE BUYERS GUIDE FIRST. Then post, stating budget and requirements (e.g. size and performance).
Don't buy anything OTHER THAN T, X AND W/P SERIES if you want the Real ThinkPad Experience™
Recommended models:
T420 - 14", normal size
X220 - 12.5", lightweight
----
Why ThinkPad? (also applies to other business laptops)
>They’re really cheap when you buy a used one.
>Keyboards feel excellent while typing (yes, even the newer ones).
>Great durability thanks to the inclusion of rollcages and use of glass fiber reinforced plastic for the chassis. The keyboard is splash proof and spilled liquids will drain out.
>Utilitarian design - e.g. indicator LEDs, 7 row keyboard layout on older models.
>Docking solutions that easily turns your laptop into a desktop.
>Easy to repair, upgrade and maintain thanks to readily available service manuals for almost every model. Spare parts are easy and cheap to obtain.
>The best trackpoint (that red thing on the middle of the keyboard). Great for those who type a lot or hate swiping their fingers all over a touchpad.
>Excellent GNU/Linux & *BSD support.

Anyone know where i could get a x220 or a t420 in mexico?
What's the best Linux OS for the t420?
just joined the family
>t420s i7 2.8
>8gigs ram
>240 hd
>win 7 (2016 microsoft suite from uni)
how'd I do? only visible problem is the O and V on the logo are missing but the "thinkpad" part is fine.
New to computers and don't use it for gaming, is there anything I can do with this guy??
How can we make Android better?

Resistance is futile.
>>52937946
Even Microsoft said you can't remove all the spying
>it is illegal to view certain images, videos or even texts
where did we go so wrong as a people
as long as you don't commit the crime, why is it illegal to see?
i blame it on americans
fuck off pedo
>>52935594
Viewing images creates a demand for them, which in turn motivates people to create these images, which is illegal.
Therefore the viewing of these images should also be illegal, in an attempt to lessen the demand and decrease the suffering and harm caused by the production of said images.
>>52936778
This right here. There's actually logic to some laws, dude.

What projects are you guys working on?
>tried Linux Mint
>tried Ubuntu
>tried Fedora
>all of them are less responsive than Windows 10
Why do people use this shit? It's the slowest fucking OS I have ever used.
Windows 10 fucking FLIES compared to Linux distros.
Why? And don't fucking tell me Linux is faster than Windows 10 because it's not. It's the slowest piece of shit ever.
Is this why you freetards rice your desktops to look like a wall of text? Because it can't handle a modern desktop UI that Windows and Mac PC's have?
Serious fucking question.
You'd be better off just using Windows without complaining /posting about it here, because the reddit hivemind here only posts things like
>botnet muh freedom etc.
It's worthless.

What are you working on /g/?
An aviation club management software in ASP.NET
Cropping assets myself. Fucking designers...
I'm challenging myself to write an efficient fizzbuzz. I'd be interested to see how fast other anons can make it.
Maybe this can be a challenge for the thread?
