It was literal trash
>screen tearing
>uncomplete translations
>buggy

Since then i tried many distros and even gave ubuntu a second chance with it's mate flavour but it wasn't much better than the standard ubuntu

I sticked with solus
Never felt so satisfied

I actually went from Ubuntu to Kubuntu, not a huge step I know but that screen tearing is usually fixed with some xorg.conf.d/ modifications. At least for AMD drives.

If you create a 20-radeon.conf in that directory and make it read:

Section "Device"
Identifier "Radeon"
Driver "radeon"
Option "TearFree" "on"
EndSection


It clears things up. It's retarded that we're in [CURRENT_YEAR] and it still hasn't been fixed out of the box but I guess Ubuntu expects people to use their OS on laptops where it seems to work fine because they got their integrated graphics shit worked out.

saaaad

Now that I've installed Ubuntu and Chromium on my laptop, I think that it will become my basic shitpost/porn machine.

>I sticked with solus

Indifferent as I came from Slackware.

LFS with a bash script to fetch the latest head version and build it.

Just installed it alongside Win10 N LTSB. Need it for a small project. Need to repartition it

Might consider removing it after the project is done but Ubuntu removal might be a bit difficult

I haven't gone back to Ubuntu after that whole thing where they were sending your OS search bar text to Amazon. I know you can turn it off but I could not help but feel like they stepped over a line and I wasn't able to trust that they could ever go back considering the environment in which that was thought to be a good idea persists. I ended up going with Debian.

Once I started Ubuntu's Live and noticed how fast it was compared to Windows, I didn't hesitate a single moment to completely remove Windows from the disk.

not a great deal imo

>mfw i'm still waiting on Vulcan to be the DirectX replacement that everyone wishes they could have so they could stop using Windows.

is Chromium safe to use on a pre-existent google account?

Have both because fuck you trust me on this

It's Vulkan, you stupid gaymer.

All the functions are prefixed with vk.

Also, OpenGL for life.

Fun fact vulkam uses a few DX12 libraries
You can't have vulkan without it

Well there goes that hope for the future. One less thing to keep me from killing myself someday I guess.

Thanks but i managed to fix it myself
Sadly other things caused me to drop Ubuntu completely

Whatever pleases you user
Ubuntu is pretty comfy but after a while it started to annoy me

You can claim that my choice installing solus is a bad choice and at least you are better than this anons but i am using it for so long now without any errors that i consider it the perfect distribution for me
Everyone has a different distribution which suits him best

askubuntu.com/questions/667466/screen-tearing-in-ubuntu-with-nvidia-intel-graphics

Vulkan doesn't use anything, ffs. It's an API, like OpenGL. You mean Windows implementation of Vulkan uses DX12, and it's smart thing to do, why reimplement the wheel when you can use existing code.

Gentoo is superior in every conceivable way

To quote one guy I know using both
>DX12 is worse than Vulkan, and should not exist
It calls for DX12 libs and uses them. It does in fact rely on a few DX12 assets so without DX12 you cannot have functional Vulkan without it being handicapped somehow

Vulkan works perfectly fine on Linux with Mesa/amdgpu

It feels so fucking flimsy.
Whenever I install anything from command line, it prompts me for a password that I can't enter until I hit enter, then when I do type the correct password it says that it's wrong but still downloads the programs anyway then it tells me that ubuntu has made an internal error.
The fucking passwords man.

I was actually having fun with my computer again, and learning new things all the time.

I want to go back to linux but i'm waiting for ubuntu without unity.

I can use Vulkan on Windows 7 though.

Awkward and annoyed

using debian atm and it's great, just wish I gave it more of a chance earlier on. If only I knew at the time how to get rid of the gnome desktop I think I would have stuck with it.

I started using PCs with Windows 98SE.
Few years later, really wanted something else so I tried Knoppix and Mandrake. Still used Windows. XP, then Debian, then 7, then Ubuntu, then 8.1, then jumped into the Arch bandwagon, tried like 30 fucking distros, Windows 10, etc.


And now I use macOS.

Go to sleep, Kevin

I was wondering how the fuck people use the thing when the installer takes several hours to get to the partition setup screen.

I skipped Ubuntu this unity shit looked too alien for me

I tried Ubuntu MATE a few days ago. It's nice, runs smoothly and boots faster than W10 when you fully shut it down.

However, I am in a bit of a dilemma because I still want to use some Windows applications without resorting to a VM. I do have a second hard drive lying around, and I already installed it on it but I guess I'll wait until I buy a caddy to shove it into my T530 so I make moving my personal shit from W10 to Ubuntu MATE a lot easier.

However, now I am in doubt, because of all this rage about which DE Is better and stuff, so tell me, should I stay with MATE, or use LXDE/LXQT or KDE?

Also tethering the unlimited social media (that I get from my carrier's plan) from my cellphone to the PC works wonders with Li-- I mean, GNU/Linux. So another point in favor of it.

Like I had made a huge mistake because it was the botnet version of Ubuntu and the amazon integration resulted in massive lag.

>Ubuntu
No thanks.

I hate canonical and I hate how it restricts access to root folders and such but something about the unity ubuntu aesthetic is just comfy to me.

forgot pic

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.
Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Specs? Which steam games can you play on that?

Link background

The shitty resolution is bc it's an inspiron work laptop that's nearly created to be docked.
i7-5600u
8gb ram
850m

It can handle valve games like CSGO and L4D pretty easily.

you're a fucking retarded pajeet I can smell you by the way you fucking type
Solus is fucking shit, try using the following
Manjaro Xfce
Fedora
Ubuntu (again) without shit desktops, so GNOME Ubuntu

Honestly

Idk, I don't speak ooga booga so that's not an issue for me.
>buggy
I'll give you that, they tried too hard to bloat up the "desktop" with "features," all the while completely disregarding core UNIX principles and creating unmanageable buggy shit. Ubuntu looks nice at first, but after a couple weeks the cracks really start to show.

I'm a retard, it's a latitude not an Inspiron

It was okay.
then pulse was introduced and all kind of shit sucked
and then gnome 2 went away and everything sucked more

the only machine in my house with Ubuntu still on it is running Xubuntu 14.04 or something

Haha, this is so true.

You listening, Gimp devs?

Has any hot totties hit on you ever since you installed Ubuntu?

> cracks really start to show
Like?

It was fun messing with Ubuntu on my laptop for the first time.
Only switched to Xubuntu on my desktop recently when I found out that I could run windows in a VM with GPU passthrough with negligible performance hit on the CPU.
The horizontal screen tearing on xfce is annoying, figured out how to remedy it with nvidia by forcing full composition pipeline and installing compton, yet to figure out how to resolve certain thumbnails crashing.

Contempt for the time being with Xubuntu+i3wm, I might switch back to Ubuntu with Gnome 3.0 at some point once Wayland matures, or move to a rolling release distro like arch for the latest kernel updates if I get an AMD card in the near future.
Fedora sounds like a happy medium between both receiving recent updates with less upkeep and better stability. Compiling every single thing in gentoo sounds pedantic for a home desktop.
Too many choices it is daunting, I'll have to try some of them in a VM before making the switch.

I went back to fedora core 6

Inferior file explorer, back to windows immediately

been using xubuntu for almost 2 years now. im tired of the screen tearing, random program freezes, weird bugs, and meticulous upkeep of this os. im downloading ms w10 ltsb and installing it in a few minutes. i will finally embrace the botnet. hold me, brothers

You sound a like a fucking brown skin with zero atheistic sense. Goodbye non-white.

False

I just installed Ubuntu yesterday. My first time.

Since I'm not tech illiterate I got everything to work with all my used applications.

So far I don't miss anything.
Wait that's not entirely true. I wish there was an Exchange Active Sync capable Mail client.

Other than that it's been a great experience so far

little picture of my current desktop

>Shows me a non-Arch based distribution
Fucking repulsive
>That UI
Ugly
>Wasted resources; efficiency lost
0/10

That's a pretty offensive personal opinion of yours

>Shows me a non-Arch based distribution
No thanks, my time is not worthless. I'd rather make money in the time configuring Arch to my liking

>That UI
I like it

>Wasted resources; efficiency lost
Good thing I'm not a poorfag and can afford a workstation with plenty of resources.
Also unused resources are wasted resources

>pic related

sleep tight poorfag

>t. tech-illiterate retard

I really hope it was false. After many hours of finding drivers and make it works, I found that file explorer is more cancerous than windows.

Fuck forced auto arrange.

Not him but why did you waste a 1080 on Ubuntu lol

>be university student
>Get Ubuntu as part of course
>Stopped using Windows

I'm a simple man. I just can't go back to Windows anymore.

Because I dualboot with Windows 10 and just installed Ubuntu yesterday.

This is my first time with linux.

>muh UNIX-princilples

>That's a pretty offensive personal opinion of yours

It's not offensive enough.

>No thanks, my time is not worthless. I'd rather make money in the time configuring Arch to my liking

Why is this always a fucking fall back here? If installing Arch prevents you from earning keep and living a life, you're either too committed to failure as a result of inferiority or parroting this fall back in the absence of personal experience.

>I like it
Fuck you.

>Good thing I'm not a poorfag and can afford a workstation with plenty of resources.
Also unused resources are wasted resources

I'm definitely not poor. I'm anal.

>sleep tight poorfag

I'm not poor. It's funny because if you knew who you were talking to this thoughtless assumption would vanish from your arsenal of insults rather quickly.

>Ubuntu instead of Arch
lol have fun with your shit distro mate

I don't care who I am talking to.
I could be talking with bill gates or whatever and I'd still punch you in the face for being an asshole wich is trying to force his opinion on everybody else.

You're like a vegan guy.

>target: Ass sphincter

>I'd still punch you in the face

Go back to tweaking your OS instead of doing actual work.

Enjoy your niggerlicious buntu

I don't tweak. I install basic configuration and then use like any other Linux distribution.

...

Do you even know what API is?

Then what's the difference of arch and ubuntu, besides arch having fucked up packaging system and retarded installation process?

>no bsod every 2 minutes
good

>fucked up packaging system
not true..
>retarded installation process
no point of installer. Once you install it, you'll almost never have to reinstall it, unless you are a complete tard, ofc

The best programmers? lol

...

>arch having fucked up packaging system
>not ubuntu
I think you meant that the other way

but AUR is god-like tier

What icon theme are you using?

akward and weird. But after I got used to Linux I never came back to Windows.

It's nice if all you wanna do is light browsing with absolute standard out-of-the-box settings, but anything further than that just gives you headaches.

I'm back on W7, I'll try again next spring just like I did once a year for the past 8 years.

GNOME 3 is fucking shit senpai. Try Linux Mint or something KDE based.

I don't know dude, all of the supposed bugs you mentioned don't sound very relevant to me, but that's probably because I'm not the kind of guy that has chosen Linux to fully customize his computer. I'm using Linux just for working (I'm a teacher) and netsurfing in the safest environment.

the built in software install center not working right and an alternative not working at all is very relevant.

the rest are UI/usability tweaks, but mind you, this isn't "why doesn't x work, Windows has this" it's "why doesn't x work, this is a feature you are offering me to use out of the box"

Point is, Linux is an eternal Beta with options and configurations sprawling out of control. And when bugs and unwated behavior shows up the answer is never "let's fix it" it's always "use another DE"

fixing bugs is hard and boring
developing new bells and whistles is exciting
noone will remember Joe Nobody who fixed critical memory leak
all the glory goes to guy who made this feature and that feature

Once you give root a password on ubuntu it's like you're using Debian. Debian unstable has broken as fuck packages (I installed unetbootin last week on my VM and it didn't even show buttons on the window), Arch requires you to follow a simple yet time wasting 30 min video on youtube just to do a base install (meanwhile even Debian netinst has a simple GUI and auto partitioning), Arch based distros have the AUR but it's not like you won't be using git and building shit from source anyways with either ubuntu or any other distro. apt has problems with dependencies? run it with fix install.

Honestly I felt like God. It was like doing cocaine. Everything worked very well but I didn't understand package management.

it's a thing of the past

not to great, my HP POS barely worked, no matter what i did, i ended up re-installing windows on my main rig, and later that month got a laptop for Arch Linux
