I've been trying to use linux (debian) for the first time for the past week and a half. I don't know how in the fuck you people are able to use this shit.
>terminal
Fucking why. How in the fuck am I supposed to understand how to use this? Am I supposed to google how to use this fucking thing and take notes for hours on end?
I don't give a shit about muh freedoms anymore. I just want something that fucking works and doesn't seemingly fuck itself up.
Why the fuck can't I just hook up a second monitor with a copied image of the first without spending 500 hours looking shit up.
At least Gnome looks nice, but this is ridiculous.
Why, if some people who develop distros, want their shit to be more widespread, why the fuck don't they make it simpler.
Jesus Christ.

I'm sorry about your bad experience.
you should ask for a refund
I learned how to Linux a few years ago. Forget the command line for a bit until you warm up to the GUI and Linux as a whole. Then when you're ready, start trying to do stuff. Try to update your system via terminal. Try to copy and move files. Yeah you're gonna have to Google, but think of something to do, then try to accomplish it.
Learning Linux helped me out a lot landing my first IT job at a major company. Command line is used a lot in the real world. And knowing that under the hood functionality has helped as well.
>>51816894
genuine kek
these are surely hilarious replies, but the truth is that yes you will be doing a lot of googling and copy + pasting commands at first. The ones you use a lot you will start to remember, and you'll learn their options.
>>51816894
>best of bantz: volume 1.
I recommend a raspberry pi or laptop with integrated graphics as your first linux machines. Also debian is great but it kind of expects you to know what you're doing. It gives you tons of freedom, so much freedom that it's possible to shoot yourself in the foot if you don't know what you're doing.
Come home, anon
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/GetLubuntu/LTS
>>51816700
should have started with Mint and went down from there
debian is strictly for servers and yes it is a piece of shit.
How stupid can one person be
>>51816700
start with linux from scratch bro
>>51816700
haha, i remember feeling like this when i started linux op
it gets easier trust me
i've grown to like it more than windows
eventually, you learn the commands
>>51816700
I've used pretty much every distro you can think of, anon. But like most, I started with Ubuntu, Debian is a little more advanced. You should start with non-unity *buntus or mint.
I just don't get this shit man.
I did fucking nothing, and now this is all I get when I try to download something from synaptic.
I try to do something, realize I have no clue how, resort to google, see 500+ things about it and just throw my hands in the air. It's small shit like this and I don't even know how to approach it.
It feel like I jumped down a hole and broke my god damn legs. I've never been so damn frustrated sitting in front of a computer.
>>51816997
have you used porteus? literally, under 170 mb.
>>51817021
I don't like KDE.
>>51817016
stop using debian, use, fucking, portues, really.
>>51817016
remove the cd from /etc/apt/sources.list
>>51817028
NEVERMIND
Last time I looked into it it was KDE only which pushed me off but it has XFCE support which makes me happy. I might look into this for my machines with less storage space.
>>51817016
looks like synaptic thinks that you want to download software from CD instead of the internet. Some configuration in sources must be off.
>>51816700
Install ARandR for easy monitor fenanglement.
>>51816700
OP. Do a hackintosh. It's 10x more rewarding then any shit disto ever could be. Plus OS X is the supreme UNIX environment
>>51817086
at this point you might as well run windows, hackintoshing is pointless
>>51816700
use botnet 10 like a normal retard. you only have yourself to blame for leaving the comfort zone to use a stoneage operating system.
>>51817189
d-do y-you have t-this in 1080p s-senpai?
>>51816894
>>51817145
Hackintosh master race reporting in.
OSX is far better than Windows in terms of productivity for scripting and multimedia creation. You can't even copy and paste in cmd.exe without being on botnet 10
>>51817215
no, it was a promo poster. but I have this one.
>>51817243
and this one
>>51817243
t-thanks
>>51817016
do the following in the terminal.
su
cd /etc/apt/
nano sources.list
now delete every line starting with CD ROM.
ctrl-O to save
push enter, don't change the name.
ctrl-X to exit
The New Frustrated Linux User Thread # 7,976,322 and they never get old. lol, especially when they seem really serious.
It's like a mix of disappointment, frustration and disbelief, hahaha. Fuck it's so enjoyable.
>>51817257
k-kill yourself
>>51817267
I did that except I put a # in front of the second line that said cd. Seemed to have worked. I don't know a fucking thing abgout text edidting. guess that was my first thing. Never even heard of nano. I though VIM and EMACS were the only ones.
Guess I learned my first thing in nano.
It feels fucking great when I do manage to resolve an issue, but I'd rather not have to deal with them in the first place.
I really do want to learn how to do this, but god damn does it frustrate me. Whatever, hopefully I'll like the end product when I finally have a half decent grasp on what I'm doing.
>>51817328
> It feels fucking great when I do manage to resolve an issue, but I'd rather not have to deal with them in the first place.
> yet i'm still going to use Linux.
>>51817315
w-why?
only way you'd think it was simple was if it booted up just how you wanted, and it gave you a handjob after.
it has gotten way easier now, and maybe it shouldn't get simpler, but you should get less dense.
there is a wiki, how about you stop complaining like a little bitch and read up.
>>51817341
I like the "philosophy"
I don't like what windows has been doing with win10. Better for me to try something new. It's a learning curve I guess. op by the way.
>tfw managed to set up arch perfectly but still genuinely think that Windows looks and just werks better
That and I'm too lazy to rebuild my C# programs with mono. I use them daily. And I prefer when I get an actual folder with an actual executable, not some abstract "packages".
>>51817364
remember that you want to get rid of gnome, and use KDE. KDE is /g/ approved.
>>51817311
I KNOW MAN, hahahaha!!!!! man this is why linux exists XD. It's like watching someone play dark souls the first time... absolutely hilarious.
friendly remind that there is literally no reason to switch to linux except autism.

You guys are retarded, just install Ubuntu.
I've been trying to use windows (lol wat is version) for the first time for the past week and a half. I don't know how in the fuck you people are able to use this shit.
>powershell
Fucking why. How in the fuck am I supposed to understand how to use this? Am I supposed to google how to use this fucking thing and take notes for hours on end?
I don't give a shit about muh games anymore. I just want something that fucking works and doesn't seemingly fuck itself up.
Why the fuck can't I just hook up a second monitor with a copied image of the first without spending 500 hours looking shit up.
At least explorer looks nice, but this is ridiculous.
Why, if the curryniggers who develop windows, want their shit to be more widespread, why the fuck don't they make it simpler.
Allahu Ackbar.
But, oh yeah, I spent years getting accustomed to one environment and my way of doing things that I automatically assume a totally different environment should operate the same without ever having to learn anything. Fuck that shit.
>>51816894
>>51817475
too bad Windows 10 will automatically detect any display connected and let you organize them in 2 clicks.
>>51817475

you can use Tab on most command line options for autocomplete
>>51816907
>Command line is used a lot in the real world. And knowing that under the hood functionality has helped as well.
This. If you're ever going to do anything remotely interesting with a computer, it's really fucking handy to know your shit.

Chose it because I read that it was stable and had more packages or whatever.
Nice projections though.
>>51818110
>stable
yea, but debian stable is not stable in the sense you're used to, it's entirely overkill for regular desktop use to the point where it's more just "outdated", and can even be a pain for desktop use
debian also is pretty strict about non-free components, which can also be a problem hardware-support-wise
>more packages
than ubuntu? in stable? with the default of non-free repos disabled? nope
debian stable is not a beginner desktop distro, and isn't intended to be
Computer scientists arent user experience designers

Hi archbabby

I feel your pain OP. Just use Mint, it's way better than debian for begginers.
OP:
>>51819260
This.
Also, this >>>51815828
If you find the terminal frustrating then just use the gui for now. You will eventually get the hang of the terminal in time.
You started with a advanced distribution, it's the same as when people start out with arch because some troll here insist on it. You are going to enjoy it as fuck when you actually get above the learning hill.
Why did you not install Ubuntu? It's created to be intuitive to old grannies

Loser can't figure out Linux. Ha! Evolution in action.
>>51817016
I gave up after I found out there were no drivers for my finger print scanner.
It just isn't there in terms of support for consumers yet. As a server operating system it's great, and it's good for normies if you're autistic.
>>51817475
>Why the fuck can't I just hook up a second monitor with a copied image of the first without spending 500 hours looking shit up.

also win+p.

alt+space, E, P.
or quickedit mode, its in settings.
or right click paste.

And even if you did all of that, you'll still end up with shitty cmd.exe with 80x80 static window size, no tabs and shitty batch script.
If you want to use GUI, install Opensuse.
I wiped my windows drive installing linux and you don't see me all butthurt. Gigs of porn and weird music gone in the blink of an eye and not a single fuck given. You just haven't embraced the open source philosophy, which is eerily like communism.
>>51821757
>You just haven't embraced the open source philosophy, which is eerily like communism.
Open source philosophy discourages monopoly, centralization of power and is hardly compatible with modern patent law.
Open source philosophy is the exact opposite of communism.
>>51821832
It's the opposite of socialism, which is the opposite of communism. It's more of the village variety of communism than the marxist one.
>Retard thinking he's some kind of "l33t h4x0r" because he knows how to manage Windows trough the GUI goes for a distro aimed at experienced users familiar with working trough the shell
