Thread 106243433

Hi, im a normie.
I want to install linux distro but i dont really know what would be the advantages of it.
I pretty much only want to install it to feel like lain.
I have basic knowledge of python tho

Control anon. It's all about control. Start by ricing your terminal.

the only advantage is that it's less bloated than windows and open source
other than that it's full sloppa and worse experience than windows

ubuntu, mint, cinnamon works on pretty much any toaster and are noob friendly.

I will not facilitate the distro war in disguise. I suggest anon derail as much as possible

head back to plebbit, normalnigger!

Arch is what I personally settled on after a few months during the distro-hopping phase of my to Windows to Linux transition. It's the only one that didn't shit itself when installing NVIDIA drivers. It's simple, has easy to read documentation, and it has the AUR.

Endeavouros is pretty much the best experience you're gonna get since it has aur going for it, which imo is better than flatpaks or ubuntu/debian repositories.

>>106243452
different retard here, what does ricing mean in this context?

>I want to
>but I dont know why
thats really weird.
Advantage: Using an actually good OS.
Now go load and install ubuntu.

Wasting your time customizing your distro
>>106243433 (OP)
Control over almost everything you've got. You probably won't need any Windows exclusive apps(there are barely any).
Linux is the ideal narcissist OS

>advantages of Linux

>fast even on potatoware
>you can customize it more, rice it to look how you want, etc
The advantages end here. The disadvantages would not fit in one post.

>>106243433 (OP)
Lain's machines used Copland OS which is based an old Apple OS, so if you want to be like Lain just buy an ancient 90s Mac.
