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
no it's not.
linux mint is a good babby's first linux
>>54404656
Get Xubuntu or Kubuntu.
Unity a shit.
>>54404726
unity a botnet*
no. try fedora. debian has become shit.

This is literally on their website.
>>54404656

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?
>>54404853
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
