arch will familiarize you with the concept of linux

people will usually recc a distro that gets out of your way and just werks for new people

but i think that's wrong because it doesn't encourage proficiency and you'll end up breaking it

if it's your first distro just get one of the *ubuntus (Ubuntu, Xubuntu, Kubuntu, etc.) or Linux Mint

>first post isn't install Gentoo
Fucking disgusting

ubuntu, whichever ubuntu derivative you want as long as its ubuntu youre gonna be fine

shieeet

look into linux from scratch

OpenPEPE

KDE Neon. I'm fuckin' serious. The latest and greatest KDE (the best modern desktop IMO) combined with Ubuntu LTS (well-supported long-term support version.)

Don't listen to the people saying KDE is shit. That's all out of date. The latest versions have been gold.

Use arch if you're a masochist
If you want something that will most likely just work fine, Xubunut.

Parabola and enjoy your freedoms

I started using Linux like 8 months ago more or less and I went from Mint, to Xubuntu, and then my Xubuntu stopped working after an update so I just decided to wipe it and install Antergos with KDE. It's working pretty nicely for me so far.

there's no point in installing linux
windows can do everything linux does and more, and does it better.

great post. here's your (you)

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.

I started with Ubuntu, used it for a year and then transitioned into Arch. I highly recommend Ubuntu for beginners.

What do you want to do with your computer OP ?

i just wanna fap and do my homework without microsoft trying to stick their nasty dick into my business

Install Gentoo

Get the 4.12.1

You can install Debian or Fedora and you will be fine.
With both Fedora and Debian you can choose your desktop environnement (the design and the feel of your desktop).
The Debian installer will ask you during the installation what desktop environnement you want (default is gnome).
For Fedora you need to select your desktop environnement before the installation, the default desktop envirronnement is also gnome ( getfedora.org/en/workstation/download/ ) but you can choose another here : spins.fedoraproject.org/

If you don't know wich desktop environnement you want, you can try them without installation : spins.fedoraproject.org/

With Fedora or Debian you can't go wrong.

ubuntu or mint if you want a normie-linux which just works
arch linux if you want to learn the architecture of a linux OS.
gentoo if you want to ascend to wizardry.

Is it really necessary to have this thread every 20 minutes?

Fedora or Debian.

>fedora
What kind of meme distri is this?

It just werk

distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=fedora

Arch is absolute bitch to configure in an even slightly nonstandard way, he'd be better off even with Gentoo.

For brainlets:
Ubuntu (MATE, GNOME, Xubuntu, mainline, Kubuntu)
Mint
Elementary

Cool but easy:
Debian
Fedora
OpenSUSE

Harder:
Arch
Gentoo
Slackware
Sourcemage

ubuntu 16 releases.ubuntu.com/16.04/ubuntu-16.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso

Debian or open suse.

I agree and disagree.
Arch is more work but it has such extensive documentation that it's my favorite one to recommend for learners.
They are sure to learn a lot and because of the wiki, not become too frustrated while doing so either.

In my opinion Arch is the easiest distro to REALLY use, if you understand what I'm saying.
There are training wheels on everything.
Even the AUR makes easy to install anything, but you first have to learn manually install because AUR helpers are not available in the main repos!

It's almost as if it were designed for learning.

is it ok to start with manjaro? it looks pretty neat

Manjaro is a great distro if you're not looking to do anything too outside the box.

KDE Neon is pretty nice, but Neon takes some ricing to look as nice as some would have you believe
t. Neon daily user

Xubuntu my man

Didnt want to make a thread for this, it seems like a fine place for a question.
I have 2 HDDs that i dual boot with, one with win7, the other with arch, why can i access the win7 HDD while using arch but not the other way around?

arch is most likely installed on a filesystem that is unreadable to windows. Are you able to mount the drive at all from windows?

you would need an ext4 fs reader or whatever, windows only recognise ntfs

Is Slack good?

>It's almost as if it were designed for learning.
That's a funny way of describing copy pasting from the wiki

Unironically, void.

Debian testing (upgrade to unstable in /etc/sources.list) with the KDE option. I'd say Fedora but the whole patent autism might scare away noobies when they want to watch porn in Jewish codecs.

Arch users: "I copy/paste a shit ton of commands from the Wiki, therefore, I've learned Linux."

Yes, it's lightweight. However, installing software sometimes may take quite a bit of time.

>Use arch if you're a masochist
Not really, having to check the arch homepage for manual intervention before updating is the only annoying aspect so far after you've set it up how you want it.
Gentoo and linux from scratch are deep in masochist territory.

I went Ubuntu unity -> Xubuntu + i3wm -> arch + i3wm + xfce4.
Settled and done hopping.

Manjaro with OpenRC.

Lubuntu the easiest, Source Mage for fun

Wait, do you really have it installed? I haven't seen a working download link for a while, GIVE LINK!

CloverOS

Arch isn't meant for people that want non-standard configs. It's meant to be simple. If you want support out of the box for lots of special snowflake use cases, install Debian. If you want to build your super special system yourself, install Gentoo.

The default install dumps the entire repository on your disk and runs KDE. How is that light weight? And before you say "You don't have to install everything", well that's true in every distro. Only on Slackware, installing a minimal system means you have to track dependencies for everything you install down later. They aren't listed anywhere officially and when you ask the community for help, you're told "It is recommended to do a full install, since you didn't, you should know what you're doing so fuck off."

Slackware is great, but it is not light weight.

alias update='newsbeuter -r && pacman -Syu"
Put Arch's rss newsfeed in your newsbeuter url file. You can now check the news in 10 seconds automatically before every update. And the last news item was 2 months ago.

Mess around with Arch on a VM, learn how shit works, then go with someting like a *buntu.
I recommend Xubuntu or Ubuntu MATE.

this
Sup Forums is dead

INSTALL GENTOI FAGGOT

if you just fucking copy paste everything will break because you don't know what the hell you're doing

in theory you will read the entire article and THAT is why it's good for learning

4.12.3

I'd start with Fedora, it just werks and it respects your freedom much better than Ubuntu does.
