help me anon... help me install linux and escape the botnet...
now which *buntu to start with? or is arch really the way to go?
Debian for maximum free.
>>54158878
Xubuntu because it doesnt look like shit.
Xubuntu because XFCE is master race
>>54158878
ubuntu 16.04 + xfce
>>54158878
>Virtual machine
>Host OS is spyware 10
>"Escape botnet"
I've seen macfags smarter than you, windumb
>>54158878
Lubuntu because it's everything you need and looks passable.
>>54158878
Kubuntu is closest to Windows level functionality
>>54158928
so not xubuntu?
>>54158940
i need to be sure it works for what i need before i switch over
hold on while i reboot to enable VT-d in bios
>>54158878
Avoid Arch until you've a better understanding of GNU/Linux
Start with regular Ubuntu
>>54158972
>>54158914
>>54158923
>>54158928
alright xubuntu it is, hope i can play games on this thing
>>54159196
>games
>>/v/
>>54159208
am i supposed to reset it or something? did i break it already?
the login screen looks really crappy compared to windows 10
>>54158914
were you rusing me? this looks like OS X 10.0
how do i make it not look like shit?
how long until i can post in ricer threads?
a-anon? now what? tell me what to do
What's happening here?
>>54159273
Stop comparing it to windows 10 you retard.
This is linux + gnu. Not windows + linux.
End yourself.
>>54159504
stop asking for help and go learn
this is what it means to /g/
>>54159563
OP is falling for the linux meme.
>>54159317
install numix
install GTK and Arc/Vertex theme.
>>54159589
ok i am learning, ok??
but not sure why i am out of disk space
>>54159317
Try fucking around with your head. Maybe with your level of being retarded you could maybe adjust the looks.
>>54159608
you didnt allocate enough memory in your VM application
dude do you even use computers? you shouldnt be using linux in a VM if you dont even know this basic shit. learn the basics of computers first
>>54159608
KDE Plasma 5 on Fedora is the Miku-approved option
>>54159601
What's wrong with it?
>>54159273
Looks better than the obnoxious, uncustomizable windows 10 login screen
>>54159608
INSTALL GENTOO. SERIOUSLY. OR AT LEAST ARCH.
>>54159601
More like OP is having a great fishing session
>>54159273
> cares about what the login screen looks like
just login then.
>>54159672
forget it i just dont see the point, going to go watch basketball
>>54159686
bye
>>54159672
Nice bait. Post your terminal with uname -ro
>>54159637
>What's wrong with it?
What's wrong with Linux? Nothing. It's very useful.
I just think OP sounds like he's a basic home user who already has all his needs covered by Windows and is installing linux for purely meme reasons.
He'll probably end up back on windows within a week.
(I'm also suspicious that he might be trolling us)
>>54159686
How do you fish with a computer????
This isn't a game I thought.
>>54159627
yes i did, i gave it 4gb ram and 8gb disk, how is that not enough?
>>54159608
> arch linux download tab open
use architect before you inevitably fail and start shilling about arch
>>54159718
Life is a game.
I t s a l l i n y o u r h e a d
>>54159738
Architect is no more. The developer deleted everything.
>>54159718
Did you mean call of duty?
Quickscoping your opponent and calling their mother fat isn't what Linux is for, anon
Not OP, but what's the second most customizable DE besides KDE? I can't get that shit to run because my computer is 6 years old
>>54159735
did you install ... to the disk?
>>54159712
He has been sounding like a retard from the very first post. See what >>54158940 says
>>54159800
Xfce or MATE
I'd say Xfce
>>54159761
It's up online again
>>54159773
No it's for shitposting with ricer desktops.
There is no good reason to use Arch over Xubuntu aside from loving the tediousness of setting up a graphical environment, unless you can't live without the AUR or to be on the razor edge of updates.
Any distro with infinality or other similar font patches like Ubuntu is fine. So Arch, Gentoo, Funtoo, or Ubuntu derivatives. Anything else is disgusting.
>>54159828
>tediousness of setting up a graphical environment
#pacman -S plasma-desktop kde-applications-meta && systemctl enable sddm -f
Wow that sure was tedious
>>54159747
if it's all in my head why do i have no control
>>54159859
>KDE
ew
The default config is shit and you know it.
>>54159828
>No it's for shitposting with ricer desktops.
Yeah, if your computer skills are limited to concluding to this you should not bother coming to a tech board
>>54159077
This is VT-x, not VT-d.
>>54159889
Agreed. Fortunately my usage is not so limited, but that's all /g/ ever does with it.
>>54159882
I use KDE and I know the default config is good.
And to reach to my comfy state I
1. Change look and feel to Breeze dark
2. Resize the bottom panel height
3. Change to application menus settings
The default configs were decent and now it's perfect.
It doesn't take me months like you think it takes
>>54159935
>all /g/ ever does with it.
The whole /g/ is not a limited skilled average user such as yourself
>>54159937
I'm actually more worried about CPU usage, and hence use XFCE. I'm using a dinky AMD C-60 so I need to save all the cycles I can, and unfortunately XFCE is pretty tedious to get right.
>>54159999
>AMD C-60
This is your problem.
>>54159952
Sure it isn't. /g/ is full of normies, I'm the better of the lot.
>>54159999
upgrade
>>54159952
Are you implying /g/ does anything except remove their title bars and vomit anime pictures everywhere? That's 100% of the Linux use on this board.
>>54159999
KDE is quite optimised nowadays. Try it out. If you want the most out of your system though I would highly recommend just jumping ship ti i3wm
>>54160010
;-;
>>54160023
Can't afford to at the moment. American Universities cost too much.
>>54159999
>XFCE is pretty tedious to get right
It's a true timesink DE
>>54160033
see 54159889
>>54160047
I've used i3wm before, but I get lost in the finer details of setting things up that follow. As in, NetworkManager or not? Gvfs with pcmanfm or what?
>>54160033
If you are looking for video gamers >>>/v/ is that way >>>/v/
>>54160095
i3 is a shit. Use Awesome!
>>54160095
awesomewm is a bit easier I've heard
>>54160108
>>54160111
Awesomewm doesn't address this though. It just has more modes. Both have trays, both have similar modes. I liked the config and defaults of i3 more last I tried.
>>54159813
holy shit xfce is shitty. Everything breaks every time I use a theme. turning compositing on and off does nothing
>>54158878
ubuntu 16.04 and i3wm
>>54159937
Compare this to windows 10 enterprise.
>>54160279
What are you saying anon? W10 will always be a mess.
>>54160319
Windows will always be a mess until they drop NT.
>>54160359
Windows/Linux when
Just use vanilla Ubuntu. 16.04 just came out and it's good.
>>54159504
You'll need screenfetch.
>>54160398
That's still NT
>>54160398
GNU/NT is closer, sadly.

>>54159709
Linux Mint
Ubuntu has really lost it ever since Unity, imo.
>>54159317
XFCE can look really nice and is a lot of fun to customize once you get the hang of it. There's not even much to learn, start by messing around with your panels and then install an icon theme.
>>54158878
Try Arch. A lot of fun.
>>54160578
Just follow this and install vbox additions.
>>54159317
http://www.ravefinity.com/p/vivacious-colors-gtk-icon-theme.html
Here's a simple to install icon pack that at least looks better than the default.
>>54160524
Mint is just a re-skinned version of Ubuntu. Use any of the official variants but not that hackjob of distro.

Good morning chaps, just upgraded to xubuntu 16.04, having trouble setting up PIA. There is no option in Network Manager to set up OpenVPN even with OpenVPN installed.
Anyone had this issue/found a solution?
>>54158878
Using PROVEN freedom-denying software (vmware) for testing.
Come on kid
>>54161161
wat is this
>>54162158
Lawsuit against VMware for GPL violation
