Install Linux
Nice blog post OP. Where do I subscribe?
>Linux
>Anything except CLI
Retard. All Linux DEs are shit and X is shit. Wayland is also shit. Never fall for the Linux GUI meme.
So you bought some shitbox computer that doesn't work worth a damn, and you're blaming linux??
Go back to C64, nigger.
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.

Whenever i see some loonix moron posting the "LOL wangblows sucks" shit i feel reminded of that picture where the guy keeps gulping up turds just to be contrarian to the people eating normal and perfectly edible foodstuffs
Oh look, a winbaby. It's unbelievable how retards like you think "OMG MICROSOFT I LOVE YOUR FORCED UPDATES AND BROKEN OS." I use windows too occasionally for other purposes, but fucking osx is even better than your system. Ever wonder why your os gets slower and slower over time. That's because you use ntfs and regedit. Your system is an unbelievable mess. I can't even tell if it is made to be a tablet, phone, or computer. It is a mutt of operating systems. That's why real developers use osx and scientists, servers, and hobbyists use linux. Your os is for the dumb masses and only entertainment works well on it
>not checking drive letters
i understand this is a case where its actually linux being retarded, but come on,
so were you
OSX vs Windows:
>programming
Windows wins hands down, more and better tools, better backwards compatibility, better drivers and expandability because your hardware isn't locked.
>artwork
OSX may have the upper hand here, but only because it's a streamlined system. You can get the same level of productivity on Windows, just need to get a few tools and a decent monitor.
>music production
OSX is praised for the few options it has but Windows has more options and work just as well.
>CAD
Windows wins, no competition.
>gaming
Windows wins, no competition.
>science
Windows wins because it has more software. Most scientific simulators are Windows only. A ton of high end proprietary software is available. It's expensive but it works and it's used more in most fields of study.
>servers
After 2008, Windows wins, no competition. Linux is better than both if you can afford a pony tailed Linux admin. Otherwise Windows Server is far more hassle free.
Tell me again what OSX is useful for?
(you)
Solution is simple. Don't run Linux, fuck off, and take your butthurt with you.
What Linux does not need is users. It has plenty, it's a fine OS for servers, supercomputers, appliances and those who know how to use it. YOU don't need it and YOU don't need to learn it and YOU should stick with Windows and/or Applel forever.
Sup Forums should stop promoting Linux. It's to difficult for most teens to use and it doesn't make you a special boy. Stick with Windows. Telemetry doesn't matter, because you don't matter. Botnets don't matter because you will never do anything of interest to anyone. Now toddle the fuck off and go torrent Jap cartoons. Linux won't get you laid but Windows users have constant hotsecks which is why you belong on Windows. Remember only devoted Windows users get best waifu )Taytay of course). Linux users get Richard Stallman, naked and covered with baby oil.
I am a Windows user but you seem delirious
>>programming
>Windows wins hands down
This has to be bait
I'll give you 5 dollars for each non-meme IDE you can name for OSX

iMac monitors suck for graphic design, their colors are shit

of=linux.iso might fill up your HDD, but it won't overwrite anything. Are you entertained?
At least you tried.

WTF is wrong with your computer?
What's a computer?
Linux has worked almost flawlessly (normally media/brightness keys need binding) on 5 or 6 laptops that I have owned. You're doing something very wrong.

This.
Let's go through the post (1/2)
>install Linux
What distro?
>first boot into desktop, giant terminal pops up and shows a lot of errors
So you say it boots into desktop, then a terminal showed up. Was that terminal a window inside the desktop environment, or did it fall back to a TTY for some reason?
>google for 7 days for solution
Dear god... How did it take you 7 days to troubleshoot? It should realistically only take you an hour or 2, if that.
>tweak 29 separate bios settings so it finally boots
What kind of poo-in-loo motherboard is that? Every time I've installed it, the only BIOS setting I need to fuck with is my boot order (to get it to boot off the USB instead of the hard drive).
>finally desktop shows, start clapping my hands in excitement
literal autism
>one part of the taskbar starts flickering
What in the fuck?
What graphics card do you have?
What kind of garbage computer is this?
>a window pops up asking me something but all the text is garbled and unreadable
Never had that happen. I mean granted, the font rendering can be hit or miss, but it's always at least at a level that I would describe as "perfectly acceptable and readable".
>attempt to open browser, system freezes and i can only move mouse
your system froze from opening a browser?
are you running this on a 90s pentium with like a few MBs of ram?
>reboot and start over
fair enough.
(2/2)
>this time the icons on desktop are blurry and look like 16 colors
How does your computer have so many issues like this? Was it even capable of more than 16 colors in the first place?
>open file manager, navigate to second disk so i can masturbate to questionable videos
wait, so did you actually run the installer? It sounds like you'e still using the USB live system.
Also, I love that masturbating is the first thing you think of in this situation...
>open video, linux struggles for minutes to open file with several gigabytes
Interesting. I'll come back to this later.
>move the player window so it doesnt' distract from work
>window gets transparent as you move it and is stuck in transparent mode
>have to fap to 80% transparent boobies with desktop showing behind it
You can't work without porn playing in the background?
I think you may have a problem.
>climax, try to close media player
>loud noise in computer
>everything goes down
>computer won't turn on again
So it's a brick? wow.
Listen, dude. I'll be real with ya. I had a computer that I tried to install GNU/Linux on. It was an old macbook (2010 I think).
It had a lot of the issues you describe. Everything was slow, colors were all fucked up, and nothing really worked.
Do you know what the issue was?
It was the GPU failing.
I think the overheating it had due to being a mac, plus the fact that I pushed the system to its limits back when it ran OSX finally killed it. It wasn't an issue with GNU/Linux. It was the fact that the GPU and some other shit literally broke inside the computer.
TL;DR: Your issue is probably your hardware. I would get a new computer before this one literally explodes on you.
Why would you lie on an anonymous image board?
Linux didn't switch anything, drive labels are OS assigned at boot(y), you're a retard for not checking. Especially when it's ACTUALLY as easy as opening up terminal and typing lsblk
You must be bored to write a whole book of replies to an obvious bait. OP has never used any Linux distro and didn't have these issues. He's just hallucinating the whole thing due to recent lack of oxygen in brains, from furiously sucking dicks for several hours.
