Which linux distribution should I take ?
To many fucking distros
Other urls found in this thread:
Ubuntu
kubuntu but check if your graphics card is compatible with it , if its not compatible try Xubuntu
Debian
>take
typical proprietary mentality
Ubuntu is obviously most suited to your needs
Mint, Ubuntu, and Debian are really popular.
Some people like other distros like Arch or Gentoo, but Mint and Ubuntu are really good options for beginners, and Debian is rock-solid.
>having a GPU
what are you doing with your deep learning rig user?
Ubuntu for gaming like CS GO
OP here
i go with mint and i3 DE cause debian is so fucking old kernel
Don't choose Mint if you're not going to use Cinnamon
None. Use openbsd.
why what is the problem on mint to use another DE ?
Arch is the generally accepted distro for desktop users with a modicum of technical ability (i.e. able to work without a hand-holding GUI at all times).
do you have experience with tiling DEs?
just fucking use xfce, cinnamon, or even gnome
test
Cool trip, cuck
>Which linux distribution should I take ?
Are you new? The answer hasn't changed:
INSTALL GENTOO
use debian testing retard
tnx faggot
If your PC is made in this decade, KDE Neon, if not, Xubuntu
+1
manjaro
/thread, also xubuntu
KDE Neon
Why would anyone use Debian? Shit is old and difficult to install.
That's factually wrong.
>To many fucking distros
Classifying labeled datasets with keras cnns, doing text analysis and synthesis with scipy and rnns, feels good.
Packages are stale as fuck unless you use a broken, unstable branch which doesn't receive security patches in a timely fashion.
>2017
>not using God's OS
You don't want to go to hell do you? Choose TempleOS and accept Christ into your life
Seems like you will land in hell too.
>too many fucking distros
Which basically all the same. Install whatever is most popular on distrowatch.
It's your first one so Ubuntu
Debian or any of it's derivatives (Ubuntu, Mint etc).
...
Kali
Most flavors of Ubuntu are good for beginners. Debian is great for servers and old hardware, especially with LXDE or XFCE as the desktop. I hear good stuff about Fedora but I've barely used it.
I myself prefer OpenSUSE with KDE. It's incredibly easy to use and all of my hardware worked straight out of the box. Installation was fairly easy and the package manager is ok. It's the most stable and usable OS you could get on a desktop from what I've seen.
I can't decide between gentoo and ubuntu
gentoo is more modular, but ubuntu seems like less work
OpenSUSE!

i had problems with Ubuntu/Mint, latter had terrible vertical sync problems.
I installed Manjaro and it works okay out of the box.

arch is a meme and literally pointless to learn
Oh yeah daddy, feed me more pasta!
Not that user, but Cinnamon is the hallmark feature of Linux Mint. If you want to use i3, you're actually better off using Ubuntu because it doesn't come with the security and package replace issues that Mint has.
Please help me with this.
I have a AMD Radeon graphics card which may be not supported by Ubuntu 16.04.
What should I do? Will upgrading to Ubuntu 16.10 or downgrading to 14.04 solve the issue? If yes, will it work as good as the graphics card works on Windows? Also will have to configure my computer or will the system work perfectly after upgrading or downgrading?
Am I damaging my computer by not using a OS supporting the graphics card?
Also my laptop takes like ~50 seconds to boot? Is that because of the incompatible graphics card?
Depends on what you want. Here are the ones I like, though:
Manjaro - the child of Ubuntu and Arch Linux. Probably my favorite distro because it combines the ease of use of Ubuntu with the bleeding-edge packages, rolling-release model, and AUR access of Arch. Also has a crapton of DE options.
Apricity OS - lots of similarities to Manjaro, so that automatically makes it good.
Peppermint OS - the best distro no one has heard of. Basically what you get if you take Chrome OS and make it an actual Linux distro. It's super comfy, and it has great workflow between Ice and the WM. It's pretty lightweight on top of that.
OpenSUSE Leap - probably the best distro for the GNOME 3 DE if you want something really stable. For that reason, I use it on a VM for working at home. The lack of packages doesn't help, though.
Ubuntu MATE - Easily the best distro for beginners. Super comfy, and MATE is a great mix of usability and looks (looking at XFCE here). And it's built on Ubuntu, which is the beginner's distro.
Some distros to avoid:
-Ubuntu GNOME and Kubuntu suck ass. Unstable as hell in my experience.
-Linux Mint on anything other than Cinnamon. Mint has problems at the core, so you're better off with Xubuntu/Ubuntu MATE if you want to use XFCE/MATE as your DE.
but suse doesn't seem as popular as ubuntu
with gentoo i can easily xfce de and open.rc inits or whatever things i want
but ubuntu is probably more supported just werks i don't really have to worry about doing a whole lot
I just don't see suse giving anything ubuntu doesn't where if i wanted something different than ubuntu, gentoo is kind of geared toward doing different stuff
>To many fucking distros
Where's the rest of the sentence?
>not man enough for Arch
Fuck off Kevin
I did this today, was first time trying out a BSD and the default X window manager I got is an even further stripped down 80s themed mac os 7. Basically puke yellow, an 80s terminal icon, and some obscure unix terminal
take your life.
the open source driver works, if its an r9-270x or so. it just lacks certain features and performance. No harm will come. Your laptop taking a long time to boot might have something to do with poorly configured networking interfaces trying to run. Nothing to do with the graphics card. Install gentoo.
Is english your first language? Are you of Indian descent?
Anyways, to answer your question: check your temps and [ systemd-analyze blame ] for the long startup, and the unsupported GPU may have a propietary .deb on AMD's website. Tell us the model next time you cunt, if it's an old laptop with some shit dpgu I'll fucking murder you
eh, I use it for the AUR helpers since it saves me a ton of time. Battery lasts longer as well for some reason
Not really, you should use Manjaro and start from there, or use arch-anywhere like I did

Ubuntu is the "noob distro" where the community is full of real software devs
Arch is the "pro distro" where the community has no actual devs or engineers, just teenagers and the fat white / indian spergs you would avoid sitting next to on transit
Actually that's a good question.
I'm running a AMD APU I been wondering too if it is potentially harmful to run a distro that doesn't support it or if the gpu portion will just be there as dead weight
Depends if you want systemd nsa approved attack surface or you care about your security.
x/k/lubuntu, - large repo stable and secure
if you want larger and much more updated repos and hate systemd then try gentoo, arch without systemd
if you wanna try the newest meme try trueos or solus
Then enlighten us user what distro should paranoid stoners use?
What's wrong with Mint Xfce? I've used it since 2011 with no major problems.

arch is just 'a distro that requires technical skills to install.'
I wonder why no one ever mentions slackware or crux, they're just as hard as arch when it comes to installation.
arch installer (like gentoo and other netboot distro) is transparent that's why it's preferred when it comes to dmcrypted setups.
arch is currently 'babbies first linux gaming'
fast to install (assuming you have fast internet)
targets both old desktops who want to install fast without hours of compile AND newer desktops with new hardware assuming they won't work properly with non-rolling distros having very old kernel.
main reason that people install arch is for gaming and new hardware support plus wine and other advanced kvm vt passthrough for vidya.
That said, the dev team decided to go with systemD. Most of those gaymer's multiple monitor setups wouldn't work properly without systemd plus because the current userbase is surprisingly skewed on the gamer side.

nigga i literally work for redhat
arch doesn't require any technical skill. it requires literal ignorance - you have to be completely ignorant of computing itself, or why you would want an operating system that's been engineered by professionals... you'd have to be so ignorant to actually believe that following a guide to set environment variables and partition disks for 20 minutes was actually a demonstration of any skill
arch is for ignorant, stupid people
This post is extremely retarded.
I'm NOT the user you replied from the VERY beginning but okay.
>on technical skill
Technology requires technical skill, literally. Unless you're referring to the 'academe version' of technical skill then you're barking on a brick wall.
Just because you work on Red Hat doesn't mean everyone's technical skill automatically becomes an ignorant skill to your perspective.
Your lack of proper punctuation hurts my eyes too. Are you sure you're really (at least) an undergrad? I bet you're underageb& and newfag.
>you'd have to be so ignorant to actually believe that following a guide to set environment variables and partition disks for 20 minutes was actually a demonstration of any skill
Sounds like it actually happened in your experience
>arch is for ignorant, stupid people

stay mad, debian/ubuntu is 75% of the web
Ubuntu if you want a comfy PC, CentOS if you want to learn for prospective jobs.
I say get both and put your home folder for both installations on the same partition.
RIP sleep.

Which is the best linux distro for me?
Kali
People who do not what they want ask others.
People who know what they want choose Arch Linux.
>rig
Ubuntu / Fedora are top. Probably Ubuntu if you're going to be copying / pasting stuff from guides for a while
all other answers are memes
lmao just like russians rigged le election xD
I'm looking for a distro that will force me to learn while having enough accessible from the start to keep me interested and playing, so not full Arch but also not full Mint. Something that works well/fast on old hardware without bloat but options for nonfree software should I want it.
Is openSuse appropriate for me, or is something else better?
you literally described debian
Kali
>2017
>xubuntu cant into high dpi scaling
arch-anywhere is fucked up right now. mine didn't install half the shit it said it did.
just go with antergos.
Thank you. Though
>Debian provides more than a pure OS: it comes with over 43000 packages, precompiled software bundled up in a nice format for easy installation on your machine.
as a way of describing their own OS makes it sound kinda bloated.
I'm not sure why I would need that though.
Kubuntu or any flavor of Ubuntu since you're at home with corporate.
Interim Linux by far.
that means there are like 43000 .deb packages avaliable, you don't install all of them
its like windows saying there are bazillion .exe files avaliable
that being said, you should probably start with ubuntu if you didn't know what they meant by that
>implying 43000 is a big number
Nigga have you seen the AUR?
