Although it is recommended to install a Linux OS on a VM (Virtual Machine/VirtualBox) for "safety purposes", it is better to try the Live ISO directly without installing anything, that way, you can get a full Linux experience. If you are serious about switching to Linux and if you have Windows dualbooted (recommended for pure newbies), use it exclusively for 2 weeks, avoid Windows dual booting for that period of time, or it's likely you will start retreating back to windows instead of getting used to Linux as your new home and working on making it feel the way you want it. >Recommended for beginners: *buntus except vanilla Ubuntu (Unity) openSUSE LinuxMint (a.k.a Ubuntu LTS + Cinnamon) Before asking, please find the answers to your questions in resources. Please be civil, notice the "Friendly" in every Friendly Linux Thread. Understand that much of your software from Windows will be unavailable, (although maybe wine can make up for it.) Resources: man

>>51352372 there are some super basic things you need: your drives, basic video output, filesystem types, network or wifi drivers, etc. The list is actually pretty small to get a bootable kernel, but it might involve being really specific. I don't think compiling a kernel shouldn't take 2 hours and I don't it ever taking that long, even on a gentoo VM using genkernel. But it definitely won't take that long next time. Unless you make clean, all of those modules you compiled aren't really going to be changing and the object files sitting around for them will be reused. Compiling a kernel you know the specific config for will be short for the same reason, since you won't be wasting time compiling all kinds of modules you don't need. also just a fyi but I spent like 30 minutes trying to troubleshoot a kernel build and finding the config for the VMware sata drivers I was using but it turned out not to be booting because GRUB wanted a root=/dev/sdx instead of root=uuiduuiduuid uuiduuid. Fucking sucked! >>

So I've just installed Xubuntu Core 15.10 with a Thinkpad X200s, so using stock drivers for the Intel GMA 4500MHD. I'm trying to get vsync to work. If I disable the compositor entirely, full screen applications work. If I enable the compositor, nothing works with vsync. If I replace the default compositor with Compton, everything works with vsync, but then Steam starts flickering and failing to visually update (chat window remains static while I receive message notifications, minimizing and maximizing fixes for a few seconds). I'm at a loss as my problem seems extremely specific and googlefu has gotten me nothing but generic "Enable Compton" or "Use these drivers if you're on Nvidia." >>

I'm on manjaro. sudo systemctl suspend sometimes, randomly, locks up the computer unresponsive with the display off. Haven't tested audio, but it probably stops too. It's truly random. Once I put the computer to sleep and accidentally woke it up so I put it straight back to sleep and it froze with the display off and unresponsive. I think it might have something to do with disk access because the startup console prints a bunch with the label of my root partition in the text and something about blocks. I don't whether suspend worked out of the box but if it didn't I would have tried more than one thing to make it work or fix it. Yes, I've scoured google and asked the manjaro IRC channel. I'm using manjaro CLI to have something close to archlinux but with a release cycle. >>

I'm sorry for reposting this, but last night when I said that my Xubuntu often times does a lengthy filesystem check before booting someone asked for contents of my fstab. http://pastebin.com/VEcRwQxa I changed it to this after installing Xubuntu, because the extra partitions where mounted in media which made them constantly visible on the desktop, and i didn't want that.

>>51352372 there are some super basic things you need: your drives, basic video output, filesystem types, network or wifi drivers, etc. The list is actually pretty small to get a bootable kernel, but it might involve being really specific. I don't think compiling a kernel shouldn't take 2 hours and I don't it ever taking that long, even on a gentoo VM using genkernel. But it definitely won't take that long next time. Unless you make clean, all of those modules you compiled aren't really going to be changing and the object files sitting around for them will be reused. Compiling a kernel you know the specific config for will be short for the same reason, since you won't be wasting time compiling all kinds of modules you don't need. also just a fyi but I spent like 30 minutes trying to troubleshoot a kernel build and finding the config for the VMware sata drivers I was using but it turned out not to be booting because GRUB wanted a root=/dev/sdx instead of root=uuiduuiduuid uuiduuid. Fucking sucked! >>

So I've just installed Xubuntu Core 15.10 with a Thinkpad X200s, so using stock drivers for the Intel GMA 4500MHD. I'm trying to get vsync to work. If I disable the compositor entirely, full screen applications work. If I enable the compositor, nothing works with vsync. If I replace the default compositor with Compton, everything works with vsync, but then Steam starts flickering and failing to visually update (chat window remains static while I receive message notifications, minimizing and maximizing fixes for a few seconds). I'm at a loss as my problem seems extremely specific and googlefu has gotten me nothing but generic "Enable Compton" or "Use these drivers if you're on Nvidia." >>

I'm on manjaro. sudo systemctl suspend sometimes, randomly, locks up the computer unresponsive with the display off. Haven't tested audio, but it probably stops too. It's truly random. Once I put the computer to sleep and accidentally woke it up so I put it straight back to sleep and it froze with the display off and unresponsive. I think it might have something to do with disk access because the startup console prints a bunch with the label of my root partition in the text and something about blocks. I don't whether suspend worked out of the box but if it didn't I would have tried more than one thing to make it work or fix it. Yes, I've scoured google and asked the manjaro IRC channel. I'm using manjaro CLI to have something close to archlinux but with a release cycle. >>

I need a very newbiefriendly and protected distro for my relatives. I tried every version of Windows but they still manage to fuck it up, installing shit tons of things even without privileges. What distro should I use for them? Something very lightweight, as they only use facebook and MS Office stuff. And they are luddites, so something that is easy to use (as they are already accustomed to windows) >>

Why is it that wine can only run a small 3D game at 1/4th native speed and with assets missing? How do people say this is a viable option to replace windows? >>

>>51355104 a distribution with cinnamon should be fine. I personally installed debian with cinnamon for my parents and they don't have any troubles. You'll have to find out how to make office works. Or they don't bother using libre office, abiword or any https://boards.4chan.org/g/thread/51351454#p51355859

alternatives, or you can install office via playonlinux/wine >>51355143 any distributions permits you to dualboot easily. Look at screenshots and select the distribution you prefer. If you want to try it, set up a VM and install debian testing with all the desktop environments during the install process. you'll be able to select which DE you want to use on the screen, and you'll make yourself a better idea of what you want. Once you have choose a DE, install a distribution that comes with it. Debian is somehow particular and needs to be configured a little to be good for a normal (installing the drivers for the wifi, modifying a file to be on the testing version. Nothing difficult) >>51355171 because using wine I can run all the old games that windows can't run, and because hots and diablo 3 run fine (I have to lower the graphic quality, but the performances are good) >>
