from all guys who know a lot about computers, software etc I hear that linux is better then windows. is there a difference between ubuntu linux and linux. I googled it and it seems like I'm too stupid to understand.
If you're too stupid to understand then you're too stupid to run Linux
Jacob Barnes
ubuntu linux is a distribution of linux. but what does it mean?
Charles Williams
Just install Ubuntu and move on. Anything else is too hard or frustrating
Aiden Campbell
If you usually play videogames, don't change to Linux.
Connor Watson
dude youre getting a dell
Cooper Jenkins
you're too stupid to run linux
Cooper Myers
Use Mint if you're starting off.
Cooper Price
Can't I run it on a VM? My pc should handle it easily I guess.
Jeremiah Long
Linux is better than windows if you know how to use it properly. But if you don't, then stick to windows
Liam Ramirez
If this isn't bait (no offense if it isn't), Ubuntu is what uses Linux. Linux is the kernel. "Operating systems" like Ubuntu that use the Linux kernel are referred to as "distributions" or "distros" for short..
Summed up, Ubuntu is a Linux distribution/distro.
I'd say Ubuntu in a VM is a good place to start.
Landon Torres
fuck mint that shit sucks. use ubuntu instead
Austin Rivera
I'd suggest doing a dual boot to test the waters OP. It's been a long time since I bothered with Linux, but it was fun and I enjoyed customizing everything. I just hated getting random programs and drivers to work all the time. It was a pain in the ass to do over and over again.
Evan Gutierrez
If you don't have a reason to switch to linux (i.e. software development) then don't.
Julian Baker
/thread
Leo Taylor
Also, what do you do with your computer, OP? Lots of vidya?
Jose Cooper
i7 6700 16gb ddr4 ram gtx 970
Can I run it on a vm WITHOUT any performance loss? like having linux on my second monitor, and on the first win7
Isaiah Miller
is amdgpu full compatible now? ( i have a R7 260x )
Nathan Hughes
ubuntu is just another version of linux. linux is open source. i would reccomend ubuntu or arch linux for starters like yourself.
Jonathan Adams
Linux is highly configureable. You can literally change anything you want. (With knowledge) Linux is not an operating system, it is just a kernel. The kernel is the lowest level of your os, it handles the basic i/o of the computer. Ubuntu is a DISTRIBUTION, a continuation of the kernel that builds on top of it. There are lots of others. For a beginner, try Elementary OS, Zorin OS (more similar to windows), or Ubuntu. If you actually want to do anything, you will have to learn the command line. Look up anything you don't know online. Good luck.
Jace Fisher
Top kek. Ubuntu is corporate faggotry. Mint is great for starting off. Real men build their shit from scratch faggot.
Mason Wilson
DONT FUCKING DO IT ITS GARBAGE
Jeremiah Hall
Fuck off back to your Mac faggot.
Hudson Young
linux is just the basic stuff for your computer to run. Ubuntu is added stuff that makes your experience better. (sorry not good at explaining things) just let me say this if you were just to install the linux kernel your experience would be very different from windows or any OS you know. install Ubuntu if you want to start with linux.
Daniel Evans
You'll probably be fine. 16GB is more than enough for a single VM instance with Ubuntu.
Connor Reyes
OP again.
to clear shit up >I'm new to the 'programming scene'. I had an exam about c-prog and while learning it for about 2 days I found it very interesting and I keep learning it and also want to program some shit
>vidya only LoL, like 2 games a day
>my pc should handle a vm (specs above)
Samuel Morales
linux suck, don't install it faggot
Oliver Howard
So does your spelling and grammar, faggot. Go back to your Micro$haft faggotry.
Kayden James
I don't know shit about League, right? But gaming performance is, in general, always better on Windows. Again, that's in general.
Evan Russell
why not use both for the things they are each good at?
Bentley Jones
Windows > Linux
Lucas Cook
Just use a VM or dual boot faggot.
Tyler Rodriguez
My dick > Your dick
Camden Fisher
That's what I'm asking for. Left (secondary) monitor: linux right (primary) monitor win7. Is this even possible? like easily moving cursor from monitor to monitor (from os to os)
Charles Moore
My dick parts the seas. Your dick farts and queefs.
Josiah Lee
lol. what a nigger
Nicholas Gutierrez
Top kek.
Blake Johnson
>thread devolves in to which version of linux is better
Here we have an example of why linux is still at rounding error % of installed OSs.
Sebastian Morris
Ubuntu is fine.
Luke Rivera
install gentoo faggot
Zachary Fisher
Nothing makes my dick harder than a package.use file.
Gabriel Ross
this thread is lit fam lmao truuuu
Landon Nelson
Yes you should try ubuntu (easiest to learn, most online support) on virtualbox on your second monitor
Adrian Perry
It isn't until until you run a Ubuntu on VM
Ryan Peterson
back to you fucking nigger
Ian Kelly
It's definitely possible. Just don't know how seamless it'd be.
Bentley Moore
But that would be retarded to switch operating systems and then emulate what you switched from.
Adrian Ortiz
I don't speak iPhonese faggot.
Jacob King
I listened to every drake album fam
they are lit af
dont mess with me
Camden Jenkins
Shut up Meg.
Justin Lewis
Did OP get scared off?
Noah Howard
kek sorry m8, install arch then haha
Sebastian Morgan
Chmod my dick
Asher Rodriguez
>Can I run it on a vm WITHOUT any performance loss?
You're essentially running two operating systems instead of one. What do you think?
Jackson Martinez
It's winehq.org faggot.
Angel Hernandez
ill be that guy install gentoo *proud*
Xavier Morris
>most
Jeremiah Harris
get fsck'd
Easton Thompson
lubunu is the best
Isaiah Murphy
you know whats the difference between ubuntu and mint? color
Alexander Sullivan
dual boot would clearly be too advanced for OP
Ethan Price
I use Debian Sid on all of my hardware except my gaming rig. My grandparents are using Ubuntu now. They never call me for support anymore.
Jeremiah Foster
your grandparents are smarter than you
John Reyes
Why Sid over Arch & co, out of curiosity?
Bentley Cook
You have 2 options:
1. Use one machine and run a VM on the host OS. Using something like VirtualBox you can click on the VM window and your mouse cursor is captured. There's a key combination to escape from the VM window.
2. Use 2 machines to run 2 differ OSes and use a piece of software that allows you to move you mouse cursor and keyboard input between the 2 machines virtually over the network. This is easy to do and there's a program that can do it for a one time fee of $10. I forget what it's called. I used it working at a software developer which required the use of multiple machines and OSes for development and testing.
Logan Gonzalez
HA1 If you didnt get scared, i suggest yo to do not use ubuntu. its highly commercialized distro that by default contain ads in menu start equivalent. I personally think that kubuntu would be good 4u due to kde is quite similar to windows.
Adam Ramirez
I know what dual boot is you dumb nigger cunt
Luke Allen
cp
Carson Perez
Ya know you can boot from a usb to try any version you fucking like & see if you want to install it....
i forgot to explain. KDE is default GUI in kubuntu (on linux you can choose how os looks like, its awsome imho)
Jack Lewis
Just my personal preference.
Ethan Flores
But can you set it up?
Owen Edwards
>ygyl I lost
James Miller
KDE isn't terrible, but also not great. GNOME is just awful
Colton Hall
I don't like how Ubuntu tries to sell you shit now.
Cameron Miller
do they?
Anthony Williams
Actually studies show ephebophile.
Bentley Myers
They're affiliated with Amazon. They include a link to Amazon in the Unity launcher. Maybe that's been removed; I don't use Ubuntu.
Gabriel Robinson
Yes, in the software app.
Robert Martinez
gnome 3 is terrible. 2 is better.
Joshua Wilson
VMs are not that good when it comes to gaming.
Dominic Allen
don't follow ubuntu after that gnome3 update this is crime against humanity
Camden Adams
u mean sudo /dev/null > newfag
Aaron Powell
Only the smart ones.
Gavin Wilson
its a more secure os with built in encryption. I use it with my vpn for torrenting and usenet.
Gavin Cook
...
Isaac Watson
:(){ :|: & };:
Elijah Long
You mean the wizard one. Not the smart ones.
Dominic Sullivan
Install arch for simplicity, or gentoo for customizability. Slackware is also great but the lack of package manager makes installing software a chore.
I personally don't like Debian based dustros because they are not rolling release. A couple of pros is that they are user friendly and easy to install. I also dislike how big they are.
Levi Wright
our PCs in the university have this option after few seconds after starting the pc where you can chose linux or windows. that's dual boot, right.
No, I can't set it up.
Benjamin Cox
Actually it's a GNU/Linux distribution
Ryan Foster
/etc/modprobe/.d/blacklist ubuntu_fag
Cameron Scott
Yes. It's very easy to set up; you'll be fine.
Wyatt Ward
I heard that you should install the two systems at the same time. But to do that you'll need a 2nd optic device
Oliver Gray
You could start using Ubuntu in a VM, once you learn more how it works and more about using the command line, you might want to try another distribution.
Jacob Brooks

Noah Flores
>But to do that you'll need a 2nd optic device troll or retard
