hey guys, i seem to have trouble finding fellow femails within the general linux community so i thought i'd go here!!! say down below:
1. what distro you use
2. how long you've been using linux
3. why you use linux
and anything else you'd like to add!

I use only Ubuntu and Kali atm, i have a question actually!
Are you excited for the eventuality of more games on steam being available for Linux distros? Do you think you’d like to eventually be entirely Linux based with your systems? I like to try and learn how to job related activities on every “type of” OS atm, weirdly I struggle the most with apples OS’ but I think that’s me being retarded more than anything.
Oh and obligatory

I've heard a lot of negative things about archfags. Are they true?
Anonymous 20693
>>20691Most everyone at my LUG org uses Arch. And they jokingly banter folks who use something else. They'll quickly recommend Mint for newbies though. I've trawled around a few distros, feel comfortable with Manjaro and Mint.
Honestly most distros end up being the same and the only thing that really changes is your own personal value of time spent fixing useless shit. Arch is more bleeding edge so it tends to have better hardware support, and naturally, break more often.
tbh linux is a fucking meme but I'll take it any day over Windows 10.

I've been using Linux for 2-3 years now. My friend recommended it to me because I had an old computer. I used Ubuntu and Mint on it for a while and loved it. I have a newer computer now, but I still use Linux (Manjaro) and I enjoy it, especially because Windows takes 6+ minutes to boot for some reason.
When linux breaks, it's always my fault for not knowing what I was doing. Even if I break something, I fix it and learn something new. There are always communities full of Linux users who have knowledge of computers that are willing to help eachother out. That is the main reason I stay on Linux, even if I don't get to play many games or run everything Windows can run.
When Windows breaks or malfunctions there's really not much to do. All I can do is restart and reinstall some things and hope it works, or reinstall Windows entirely. The community is not very helpful either. I also prefer customizability of Linux over Windows. The most I can do in Windows is change my wallpaper or accent colors. I don't install anything I don't need on Linux, and 10-20% of my CPU isn't being eaten for nothing (sppsvc.exe). I haven't used Windows in months and hopefully I will not have to do, ever.
Is there anyone who went back to Windows after Linux? Why did you do it?

debian unstable
i used to use a hackintosh for like 5 years because macos was cool and everything worked and i thought more things supported it than gnu/linux, until i realized linux probably had higher quality drivers and was generally "better" for dev stuff lolololol also it's free, so then i used to use Fedora from releases 25 to 28 because i liked having latest everything and SELinux but i switched to Debian unstable a few months ago because it's """""""faster""""""", i prefer using apt and there tends to be more packages (specifically there was this one time i needed to compile for a PowerMac G4, 32-bit powerpc but fedora doesn't have that toolchain so i had to make a debian virtual machine and it was kinda slow)
i used Windows until 2013, then switched to macos then briefly back to windows in like 2014 ish and then went back to macos in 2016
i think i hate windows for the same reasons everyone else does, and also it's nonfree and i feel securer and cooler using anything free after stallman and gnu.org xdxdxrxrdzrdxfzdxclololloololoooloolllklm, .
also lxde is my preferred desktop since it's fast, lightweight and just works, i used it on fedora too
Anonymous 21722
>>21718I use lxde too with compiz-fusion for 3d effects. It works really well even on junky old laptops. How did you like linux on powerpc? I`ve been thinking about getting one of the late powerbooks for some time now. They don`t have any of the CIAids/NSAiads built in.
Anonymous 21724
>>21722honestly i installed Debian Jessie on my PowerMac G4 just as a novelty, it actually boots pretty fast, and i used it for running mysql + php + nginx and the speed was actually not too bad, but i didn't do any benchmarks or anything
other than that, i didn't run a desktop, i did try installing lxde once but for some reason it gave me some garbled screen whenever i started it and i didn't look into it further. mpg123 worked to play mp3s out of the bad speaker on the front though.
so, it works, but i haven't actually tested anything interesting lol
i also have this iMac G4, and i also installed Debian Jessie on it around the same time i got the PowerMac G4 and it also booted pretty fast, and kinda the same thing: i used it to play mp3s with mpg123 and the speaker on the imac g4 is actually really really good (but i blew it out lol and ordered another one from ebay), BUT i also installed lxde and it generally didn't start, it gave me a cursor after a while and didn't do anything else.
however: when i initially installed the os to the machine, the screen kept slowly fading to white every time i booted it, which was because the nouveau driver was bugged for some reason so i disabled it and that could be why lxde didn't work, i also didn't look into it further.
i think if you got a powerbook you'd have a better time, but again i kinda used my powerpc machines as a novelty, so.

>>21724If I did get one of those cheap old power books of the last generation when they started to look like a modern laptop with a nice wide screen for movies and what not, I would run gentoo and slackware.

I would have to use the gentoo kernel on slackware so they would essentially share kernels. Sounds like tons of fun!

Is there any reason to use Linux if you aren't a programmer? Asking because I have two laptops atm and would be interested in trying it out on the older one. As stated I'm not into programming but think figuring it out could be fun. And from what I've seen it gets quite in depth with personalization, which I'm interested in. I like the idea of having an attractive desktop.
For reference I'd only be using it for browsing the net and drawing.

Extracting/moving large files on windows is tiresome and infuriating. It took me nearly 2 hours to install Sims 4. That's like ~23GB of files. What does an installer do? Unpack things. On Manjaro it takes me 15 minutes max to unpack that many files. It drives me mad. Windows struggles even with moving 1gigs from one folder to another. I either have a talent for making Windows perform terribly every time I use it, or it's just a shitty OS.
Maybe it's my computer. But I'd imagine that a computer I buy would be able to handle the OS it comes with. It's a year old, by the way.

So let's talk about DEs. Currently, I use Budgie. It's just a modified GNOME and not really customizable, but it looks good out of the box and works just fine. I tried KDE but never got a hang of it.

I recommend getting an old laptop from 2010 or so. Something obsolete for running win10 will be the cheapest. I bought a laptop that couldn't even run windows 8, like it couldn't open up a browser without crashing even with a new install; that thing ran for months but it had a faulty design in the cooling system so it had to be raised up on blocks and clocked down so it wouldn't cook. The kids I was baby sitting scooted it over on my coffee table covering up the main cooling fan intake vent. It cooked that computer dead. I just took the hard drive out and put it in the computer I'm currently using.

Hello, old thread! How's it going? Let me tell you something:
1. what distro you use
Manjaro
It is totally satisfying.
2. how long you've been using linux
For about 10 years now I guess. I started with Kubunutu, had a helping hand that made a fresh install for me and told me what to do with this creepy terminal.
3. why you use linux
For me personally, the essential pros are (and I won't go into detail): open-source, stability, free as in freedom, design
The remarkable progress of recent years makes me happy.

Recently I tried a bunch of relatively mainstream distros on a thinkpad and not a single one had wifi working out of the box. For one distro I went to their website for help with drivers and essentially it told me "You don’t need to download drivers because all required drivers come out of the box"
And that was about the beginning and end of my experience with linux.

I have Realtek and it works flawlessly.
The pic you posted is pretty awful. To this day GTK has no thumbnails in file chooser. GTK is ugly as hell and useless in general too. GNOME programs lack functionality. I wish every program was Qt by default.
It's customizable, has thumbnails in the file picker, and KDE programs are actually useful.
I can change all the colors and decor in KDE programs, but if I use a GTK program it's fucked, it's white, off color, or doesn't go with the rest of the theme.
If anyone's just starting to use Linux, do yourself a favor and start with KDE, if your computer isn't very old.

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.

>>20691No that's not true. You can tell that whole display is wrong by just noting a situation where it's extra blatantly wrong:
Ubuntu:
Sunday:
-engage in "meaningful" activism
-"socialize"
-go to supportive places
Monday:
-work at a pretend job, don't get paid, build expectations, etc.
-socially affirm
Tuesday:
-brag about using Ubuntu
-brag about that hardcore charity project you did on monday
Wednesday:
-cheap generic component died, spend most of the day fixing shit
-ah, but you see, unlike you pigs, I can actually use the otherwise squandered precious resources dearly need to be utilized
Thursday:
-still not getting paid, pretend that you exclusively tend to tech garbage and that you don't need/want anything and it's better not being a consumerist bastard
Friday:
-break down because you have no prospects for a job or life. Find other ubuntu users who tell you that it's not your fault and everyone really oppresses you, and that you're more moral than everyone else
-at the end of the day, hate on those ubuntu users because they use reddit and you use facebook
Saturday:
-brag about/promote ubuntu-hinged social endeavours
-brag about/promote ubuntu-hinged social endeavours
-brag about/promote ubuntu-hinged social endeavours
