Discussion Operating Systems

[OccitaNEET]

What Operating System do you have on your computer ?

Personally, i going to switch to Linux soon
ive been on w*ndows for too long and i'd like to use more open source software, as i dont like relying on corporations

That being said, i still need to find the right distribution
A friend of mine told me to start with Ubuntu since its my first time installing a new OS

What about you ?
For those of you who switched to open source OS (not necessarly Linux), what would you recommand to me ?

Spoiler: Use cases

I only use my computer for simple tasks like browsing the internet, downloading and sorting lots of files, and some text editing

i use windows but customising a linux setup seems fun i just think it isnt as compatible withvideo games

Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 21H2 because normal Windows is niggerware and Linux is for trannies

I dont think thats the case anymore but i dont play videogames anymore so thats irrelevant to me

it's not available to the general public, mainly meant for things like ATMs and MRI machines
that being said i have it on my PC because the indians at microsoft are retarded. i use a program called KMS_VL_ALL to activate it

Thats interesting
Im still going for Linux for now, mainly because i want to learn about OS, but i will keep that in mind
I have a friend who's much better than me with computers so i will ask his opinion on this

GNU Guix. Technically not really Linux since Linux is not Free Software. It contains a modified version of the Linux Kernel without the proprietary bobs that Torvalds has put on it to make it exploitable by the CIA niggers.

Looks interesting
Privacy is a big concern so that looks good
But im pretty bad with computers
Do you think a beginer could install it ?
(I have all the time and motivation necessary, i just dont use computers a lot and i never studied CompSci before )
I will talk to my nerd friend about it

>Privacy is a big concern so that looks good
Well, it is for me, but not that much. As you can see, I literally posted my personal desktop here, even though it would be troublesome if the police knew that were me lol.
>But im pretty bad with computers
Don't bother with it. Guix is not beginner-friendly. Even for experienced Linux users, installing Guix can be challenging because there's no GUI or something like that. You have to do it all by hand, editing you scheme files to set up services etc. It's not something a beginner would want to do. Maybe in the future you can grow some interested in the OS, I hope so.
>Do you think a beginer could install it ?
Honestly, I don't think so. But who knows. I find it harder to install than Arch Linux, specially because you have to mess around with a language called Scheme to set up everything. That's something that Emacs users are used to, though.
>(I have all the time and motivation necessary, i just dont use computers a lot and i never studied CompSci before )
Bother not. I would only recommend Guix if you really like things like LISP, Emacs, DevOps, deterministic compilation etc.

tl;dr if you just want something to access the internet, watch anime and maybe play some game from Steam, just use Endeavour, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Garuda or anything. In the beginning, the only thing that will really impact you will be the UI. Then after sometime you will discover that the UI is the less significant part since you can make any Linux look like you want just by installing a desktop environemnt, window manager, changing menu bars, xfce/gtk themes etc.

I already have an interest in OS, and computers in general, i just dont know where to start studying it

Not even vidya, i just browse the internet and download and sort lots of files

I guess i will go with Ubuntu for now since a friend of mine also uses it, he can help me if i struggle

Yeah, in terms of entry-level content, Ubuntu will probably be the best option. But once you understand better how things work, you will probably hop out to other distros, the famous "distrohopping", where you just install every distro in the existence just to see what they do differently. That's the most interesting part because you will already have some knowledge to judge a distro, how to use it properly etc.
Also, the Arch-based distros (Manjaro, Arch, Artix, Endeavour) has the most extense documentation and forum topics of all distros, even more than Ubuntu and Debian. Arch community is very engaged, so it's almost certain that you will find a tutorial or forum topic about X that you want to do in your computer.

Enjoy the ride, habibi.
