Finish up and grab a shotgun and shoot yourself in the face.

apt-get install killyourself

Guns are illegal in my country.
Unfortunately.

Step 1: Become literate.

Step 2: Install it again, and choose a graphical environment this time, faglord.

install gentoo

It'd probably be faster to just reinstall the damn thing. Unless you're using Debian Stable, in which case the only acceptable configuration is a minimal install. That shit's for servers.

sudo apt-get install $DESKTOP_ENVIRONMENT
boot into non-terminal system

just install the full xorg package, from the terminal. the command should be something like:
sudo apt-get install xorg

then you just need to install a window manager or desktop environment, whatever you like.
nowadays desktop environments are pretty easy to set up.

sudo zypper install pattern-gnome-desktop

you are welcome.

This is literally what the creator of Debian did for the same exact reason you think OP should

install xorg and a DE/WM if you want one or just use the command line

sudo apt-get remove system32

Fookin noobz.
sudo apt-get install gentoo

jokes on you...that would actually work

I been fucking around with gentoo lately trying to learn Linux a little better.

If you're installing gentoo from debian what exactly are you installing? Just a different package manager and corresponding packages?

apparently a file browser

If when you're at the point that you understand Linux well enough to use the command line well and setup your own shit then, at that point, what is the difference between distros? Different packages/software collections? That's it?

So distributions=skins for the same OS?

all the distros have their own spin on file organization, what is baked into the distro, what's enabled by default, etc

Lol what

reinstall the non-minimal version with a DE

Seriously I been trying to understand Linux for a long time, I have no preference with OS anymore, and debian simply seems like the easiest thing to use out of all the distros. I don't understand why people keep saying that its for servers... Simply because it comes without X preinstalled?? I wish there was a guide for Linux for people coming from the msdos/windows way of thinking and understanding the operating system, it is not easy/simple to let go of your assumptions and expectations for behavior of the command line when you throw out the window any distinctions between files and executables.

lol

just do everything from the terminal, you don't need a graphical environment.

recommended apt-get:
lynx - web browser
mutt - mail
feh - image viewer
vim - text editor
bc - calculator
irssi - irc client
moc - music player
noice - file browser
ansichan - Sup Forums
mps - youtube

>Now what.
realize your parents were right when they told you how useless you are

The creator of Debian, Ian Murdock, committed suicide due to the CIA harassing him.

why would they do that

Who knows? The CIA actually mistaken a refugee camp as a holiday destination.

>don't stop me from killing myself because I don't I have stories to tell that I don't want to die with me
Fucking what?

I doubt they did. Wasn't he schizo or something?

Fuck off, NSA shill.

OP here, why doesn't my internet work? You dirtbag linuxfags tricking me into installing this shit

Now you stop fiddling around with this pleb tier shit and install gentoo.

>Different packages/software collections? That's it?
It's all about how much work you need to put in to get it to where you want.

It's like those RPGs with a giant skill map and your starting role determines where you get to start putting skill points in. Sure, you can take an Ubuntu and strip it into a lean embedded OS, but it's a hell of a lot less work to start with an embedded distro.

>Sure, you can take an Ubuntu and strip it into a lean embedded OS
Why strip a desktop Ubuntu when you can just bootstrap it like Arch?

cos ubuntu actually works and arch doesnt

apt install wayland weston

p gentoo - fully GUI-configurable, two-pane X file manager

That doesn't sound like gentoo...
