Get rid of your desktop gui.
Do everything from command line.
You will be a pro in no time.
Brayden Foster
install a decent DE, like MATE or KDE

Fixed, and yes.
Ethan Powell
What kind of job would that get?
>have to learn bash for uni class
it seems pretty basic to me
David Green
Mostly sys admin. Also if your Resume is good you get jobs in DBMS
Jeremiah Taylor
>48-90k per year
I'm already looking at more than that in C++ or even Java development, hell even being a web dev pays more.
I've only heard of horror stories from sys admins as well so my question is: What are the perks?
Alexander Morgan
Not him, but it's a way for non-programmers to work a technical job.
Robert Baker
oh, well I guess it's still not bad to have bash under my belt
Caleb Sanders
>programmers
Funny way to say NEETs. Pajeets took over
Caleb Cruz
>pajeet horror stories
sysadmins and netadmins have easy careers that pay well
even easier then programming because most of your competition sucks
Xavier Lopez
Open the terminal and type man intro to get a very basic introduction to using the command line and tips on how to learn more.
Austin Hill
>Java development,
You can't beat the sheer number of prajeets
Wyatt Smith
They really didn't unless you're a really shit programmer, Pajeet brings in more clients willing to pay more because he fucked them with shit quality. Thanks Pajeet.
When this meme will die I'll never know
Tyler Gonzalez
>man intro
And what is intro itself?
Jaxon Bennett
It's not actually a command, each section of the manual has a page of introduction. So man intro or man 1 intro is the introduction to section 1 (user commands), man 2 intro is the intro to section 2 (system calls), etc.
Nathan Gutierrez
Install gentoo
Juan Ramirez
bourne again shell
Angel Bailey
press ctrl-shift-t to open a terminal and paste this:
sudo apt-get install mpv redshift unity-tweak-tool
then google "redshift config ubuntu" it's like f.lux but for linux
mpv is the best media player for videos, you can config that too to enable hardware decoding and other cool stuff
Ian Kelly
litterally new guy, and (You) try to be as dick as you can. Which part of newbie don't you understand to propose Slackware and even gentoo, when he has no idea of Linux? (oh sorry it's GNU/Linux for you fuckin sperg)
Colton Watson
scripts
xfce
bash
if you want using it don't doing strange thinks
Camden Martin
rm -rf /*
Adam Cooper
put the system monitor in the sidebar - you may want to monitor your system and perhaps kill some processes in a gui instead of using the terminal (kill command).
Oliver Young

fuck xfce.
Mason Smith
Use it
Benjamin Perry
You don't know how to read, do you? No wonder you are a NEET.

Now install Mint
Lincoln Ross
>mint fag doesn't even know about --no-preserve-root
no OP, you are good with ubuntu
Joseph Morales
But you forgot to su, you faggot
Adrian Lopez
Don't try to learn Bash on W10. It's heavily underpowered. (i.e. You can't access your tty devices.)
Xavier Jones
go through the book "The Linux Command line". You can get it for free online.
Christian Baker

Let us know next weekend when you uninstall it and went back to windows because installing one application on linux its a 4 step process.
Gavin Moore
remove it and install lubuntu
Bentley Cooper
Windows:
>Goes to browser
>Searches application
>Downloads exe
>Runs exe
>Chooses express and gets shitty bundled software or
>Chooses custom and has to manually deselect all of the bloatware
Ubuntu:
>Opens terminal
>apt-get update && apt-get install $PACKAGE
Or...
>Opens Software Center
>Searches for package
>Installs package
Come on, tell me that wasn't easier.
Jeremiah James
OP, don't listen to any of the autists on here that want you to install their favourite DE. Just stick with Unity and learn how to install programs, set up the system. Then find out how to change the GTK theme and icon set with Unity Tweak Tool. I recommend flatabulous as GTK theme and paper as icon set Then you'll have your Unity look nice and clean and you can get to installing the programs which you usually use.
Generally, it's easy to figure out how to install them if you just google "Spotify Linux" or "Spotify Ubuntu" or any other programme for that matter.

>sudo su - instead of sudo -s or sudo -i
lmao @ you pleb.
