this reminds me, did i do a bad thing /g/?
i didnt have usb sticks or cd's lying around (and havent since 2008)
i feel like a scrub for paying money for free software
>>54225379
It's only $13.
You could sell Lemonade for an hour and make it back.
>>54225379
eh . nah you supported open source and the price isn't bad regardless. you did well imo

good on you bro, thanks for supporting those who program this software for us faggots to bitch and moan about. really honest you did the right thing. if i had the money, i'd be buying them too

Can you put the launcher on the bottom yet?
It wasn't available in any of the beta versions I tried.
Once that is available I might switch.

>stock unity is absolutely horrid
>>54225577
howd you get it like that? i just jumped into plasma because unity was so damn ugly
>>54225650
it's not hard, just intall some icons and gtk themes and play around with some unity tweak tools settings
>>54225676
specifics please? i basically want a ctrl+v. laziness has my ass in its tight 10 meter monster grip today
>>54225722
paper icon themes
flatabulous gtk theme
that's literally all, you could use a dock if you wanted to instead of the unity launcher
>>54225577
how do you make the left bar look nice like that without the boxes around icons?
>>54225841
some setting in unity tweak tool I think, might be dependant on icons as well
>>54225841
>how do you make the left bar look nice like that without the boxes around icons?
That depends on the theme and most new themes remove the boxes around the icons, at least I know Numix and Flatabulous do.
>>54225254
Implyng that this doesn't make it look more shitty
>>54226765
can confirm, as long as you make the launcher bar smaller it looks comfy as hell. 32" 1080p chink tv that i use for a monitor and an r7 250x that doesnt have proper drivers and cant into overscan. have to run at 768p or else itll be over the edges. not that bad honestly

I just put 16.04 MATE on my granmas and parents computers, all they supposedly use them for is Firefox anyhow.
>amazon botnet
no thanks
I did, but unity frustrated me. Or it triggered my autism by not getting the menu bar to just say "Sublime Text" and instead permanently replaced it with some bullshit I wrote at first launch.
Couldn't get it to change for the life of me, so just installed fedora with gnome. I like it's workspace management better anyways

>>54230103
What if I make the dock smaller? or auto hide it?
Why do I must remove unity tweaks to remove the Amazon app?
>>54230104
Still not, since it's a LTS.
Mir will come as default on 16.10.
But you can install it anyways.
>>54225212
Why would I when Fedora with gnome is so comfy.
I'm really liking how multi monitor support is improved Unity now.
>>54230174

I'm considering getting a really shitty old laptop (Latitude D610) for schoolwork, so I'm gonna need every byte I can scrounge up if I end up biting. I've looked at other options (Debian caught my eye for a while), but at this point I decided I might as well go whole hog and try and get Arch working.
Honestly, if I could, I'd be using XP, but I doubt it's either secure or small enough for my needs.
>>54231034

>I'm considering getting a really shitty old laptop (Latitude D610) for schoolwork
Wat
Just get a chromebook.
I use Trisquel on a thinkpad X200. Very nice. Good for old emulators and doom.
>>54225212
I'll probably wait 11 months to upgrade like I did with Win10. 14.04 'buntus are supported for three more years. All my compys are running just fine.
Eventually though.
>>54231077
I don't have the money for that shit, mang. I'm MEGA poorfag here. >$90 is all I can afford, and that D610 is the only thing available in my area in that price range right now.
>>54231091
Very cute, glad to see you respect your freedoms.
>>54231091
Are they releasing a new version of Trisquel based off of 16.04 any time soon?
>>54231039
Windows XP is a lot of things, but secure is not one of them. If you are going to use something, use Windows 10, or you can use Linux, of course. Linux versions are personal preference, so don't fall for the Gentoo meme, just try as many as you can and see what works best for you.
>>54231113
Sometime this year in May, I think.
Which would you recommend to a newbie
Mint or Ubuntu?
>>54231102
http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/111974911345?lpid=82&chn=ps&ul_noapp=true
The D610 uses the P4 housefire. Get a core2 model if you're going older.
If you don't explicitly need x86:

>>54225577
That's actually nice. I might need to unvanilla my HTPC.
>>54231191
Linux Mint is easier, I would say.
>>54231128
Mint is really nice for a complete noob, but everyone's shitting on it because the download for it on the site got compromised and during that time the download mirror was changed to a version of mint with a backdoor in it. So at least here on /g/, trust has gone down for it
Just install Ubuntu MATE

I actually am installing this right now OP. As in I'm actually on the live ISO right now browsing while ubuntu installs. I just ragequit windows today so I'm officially done. I was already getting over the fact I won't really be buying DRM games anyhow so it's not holding me back. Couple hundreds dollars not that bad of a loss.
>>54231764
I meant ncurses-dev. Sorry.
>>54231039
linux is a fair bit more efficient than windows in the RAM dept. Try Debian with XFCE, LXDE, or MATE. If they can run on Raspberry Pi's with 512 of RAM, they can run on whatever shitbook you have.
Get familiar with Debian, then move on to arch, or go to Alpine or Void, if you really want to see low numbers.
Yeah, you got me. I'll probably try it out when I get tired of Gentoo though.
>>54226915
>genital mutilation
>>54231102
A D610 is a fine choice (I used both a D810 and D410 for a number of years), but you could get a Thinkpad T60 for probably around the same money or less.

>>54230707

wow it looks exactly the fucking same as 14.04
>>54225212
Linux mint will have a more sane desktop environment with the benefits of 16.04 lts and more polish.
Waiting for the update, MINT it's what I'll pick.
Unity is looking good but it lacks so much - and other than looking pretty it doesn't do much.
>>54225328

>xubuntu has same ram usage as kubuntu
[audible chuckle]
>>54225212
Windows 8.1 pro from which I have removed certain updates, tweaked settings and services works significantly faster than this.
>>54234864
Latest windows 10 update over a fresh install work about the same if not smoother compared to ubuntu.
I have to admit tho that it works much better compared to LTSB version which is locked around 10240. So if you have some old, or hardware limited machine that you need for a small business or nothing serious Linux with w/e distro feels good is the to go option - unless you need specific software then LTSB is still good.
>>54230949
Follow beginners guide, it's really hard to fuck up and even if you do just restart. If you really want to use a beginner friendly distro then try Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenSuSe or if you want to use AUR then go for Manjaro/Antergos.
