       Instead of partitioning to add a second OS to my laptop and just picking one at/to boot (or however tf you say it, make comtutor go go by picking the thingy when words happen at you), which I did years ago to play with an open source chromebook OS dupe, I realised that I have an old fuck-around laptop and old tower I could reformat with linux / Ubuntu / whatever....

       I can destroy an old computer with my ineptitude and/or learn enough to understand slightly more of what is being said here. Whilst also keep my laptop running Windows for work LMSs that are poorly made and break at the slightest provocation or non-normie browserness.

       @Clippy You seem to be under a false impression. You won't destroy Ubuntu with your ineptitude. It will destroy you with its ineptitude.Speaking as someone who lost an entire year of art and animation due to Ubuntu being so shit.

       @NeverBeAYsMan @Clippy What about Fedora Linux? That seems straightforward (relatively).

       @Clippy Which part being straight forward? If you mean installing the OS. Ubuntu is very easy to install. I haven't used Fedora... but from what I can tell most modern Linux versions are all very basic to instal these days.That said. I did attempt to install Arch a few months ago. I got stuck when it asked me to create my own pointers for booting LOL I mean did put my own mount points but for what ever reason it refused to mount. More research needed. :)

       @NeverBeAYsMan @Clippy lol, yeah Arch and Gentoo were the ones that seem like you have to know your shit to be able to set up and run effectively. Fedora and a couple of alternatives (one was called Cinnamon maybe? Something like that) were the ones that seem the most seamless to start with.

       @Clippy @NeverBeAYsMan but I am just looking at it while I have a ridiculously cruisy workday. The client I am meant to be working with is sick, so I've done meds, charts, food, some pd and now I am basically looking up different distros and watching the clock.

       @Clippy @NeverBeAYsMan cinnamon is the de for linuxmint.com, which might be the one you're thinking of.a more user-friendly arch derivative exists, called artixlinux.orgobligatory:linux is not an operating system, but merely a kernel for the gnu operating system.

       @Clippy My take on dual-booting is that you can't serve two masters, you will love one and hate the other, or despise one and love the other. Every day that you don't boot an OS is a day more of shit to deal with when you next do boot it, especially Windows.Well, these days I don't update my system for like half a year or more so there's nothing to bother me on boot, but it's the same damn base problem: Generally system update means kernel update, kernel update means restart, but I want to update AUR stuff before the restart, just to save headaches, and AUR stuff is generally a headache, especially due to the amount of shit that's been removed from there that I still use frequently. (At some point I need to just set up my own local repository to point at for those things + the handful of stuff I actually wrote PKGBUILDs for.)

       @Clippy @NeverBeAYsMan AFAIK fedora is in enterprise linux family and I generally have a negative impression of everything EL. I've never given it a real run though so it's not a strong impression.

       @Clippy I am guessing you enjoy challenges. I noticed your birb picture. Given Zergling_man's penchant for flying drones. You should definetly @ him for all feather dragon images. He loves the birds. I like them too. I just don't go out of my way to find more. :)|My grand parent loved birds. I think that's why I drew them and have a fondness for them. They remind me of her.

       @Clippy It's pretty much click option, click to continue. They are very easy to install. The only concern you might have is how to partition your drives. But, some light reading will get you sorted. It's generally fairly well documented for the mainstream variants of Linux.My complaint before was in regards to instability in Linux. My experiences with Linux is pretty awful. But, on the otherhand it's also not a massive spy tool... yet. Though to be fair I want to do things most people probably wouldn't care about. Like running Unity 3D, animation software, and art programs. Which I managed to get going. But, some how my hard drive became corrupted. And I am pretty sure Linux is to blame.

       @Clippy @NeverBeAYsMan @HatkeshiatorTND GNU+linux, pros and cons:+ lots of choices+ you can make it work exactly how you like+ also they all have strong incentive to be good, because they're all in competition at every level, they can't just go "lol the software you want doesn't work on anything else" and then shit out complete garbage (not naming any names)- lots of choices- not enough information to choose with- what the fuck is a display server anyway- I keep getting "you have new mail" notifications- ln -s /var/spool /etc/crontabSo, DEs (desktop environments). Significantly bigger choice than distro. xubuntu (literally just ubuntu+xfce) and arch+xfce are far more similar than xubuntu and ubuntu (+gnome).I am a big fan of xfce and I will always recommend it, a lot of people seem to like kde plasma (which is kde 5, AFAIK), but I tried to install it once and it ate half my ram with a file indexer before I even ran it, and it likes to make a mess of dependencies on every other DE so I refuse to touch it out of spite.But then I am also a big fan of hyprland and recommend it, but... You've gotta be willing to mess around with config files. (Also apparently it ditched its config syntax shortly after the version I'm running, so at some point I'm going to have to do it all over again. I should probably be learning how to now, so I can have a complete conversion sitting there ready to test at some point.) Also hyprland is, by default, a tiling WM (window manager), as opposed to a compositing WM like Windows is. It can do that too, but it's... Not that great at it. IIRC there are ways to make it better, possibly even good, but I haven't investigated them; I wanted to try a tiling WM to see if it would cure some of my bad habits with windows (common noun), and it did. Further, hyprland is a window manager, not a DE. There are a bunch of things you would expect from a DE (like desktop icons, a task bar, a system tray, an application menu/launcher) that it doesn't include. (The default config does come with a bind for an application menu, at least, so assuming you installed it beforehand it will work. Or, well, the default config as of like 10 versions ago.)In short, I don't recommend hyprland as a beginner "DE".Some other information to help you make choices:1) Systemd does kinda suck but you basically never have to touch it on a PC, same goes for other init systems/daemons, so if you are looking at artix, the choice of s6 vs runit vs openrc is almost completely irrelevant.2) You will generally have to interact with the package manager, it's generally the same throughout an entire family, unfortunately it's something that you won't hate on first touch; it'll take a while to find the things it does poorly and then you'll consider switching. Bitching about it (or anything) here is a good way to get "X doesn't have this problem" responses, so find the thing you hate most, and try whatever doesn't have it.3) Technically there are alternatives to grub but pretend there aren't, so, you're stuck with grub. You won't need to care about it until you suddenly do, that could be tomorrow, could be 2036.4) Linux is proprietary

       @Zergling_man @Clippy Systemd has merged an optional birthDate field into its user database (userdb) to facilitate compliance with age verification laws in jurisdictions like California, Colorado, and Brazil. They did bare minimum. Is getting roasted and harrassed for it. But... uh... well the alternative would be blocking those places. So, I dunno. It wouldn't be a fun position to be in.

       @NeverBeAYsMan @Clippy Since the laws are retarded, the objectively correct response is to call them retarded and then proceed to ignore them entirely. You can put on your website that people in those places (which almost certainly is about to include all of Australia) are not to use your stuff, but that's completely unenforceable.

       @Clippy @NeverBeAYsMan underrated joke. good work.unix was an operating system, unlike linux which is only a kernel. both are proprietary garbage.berkley gave us bsd, which is also a full operating system, and also proprietary garbage.stallman gave us gnu, which respects the user's freedom and is good, instead of being garbage. the kernel that the gnu project made, called hurd, was unfinished and remains so even to this day. that's where torvalds came in. he hacked together some just-barely-functional unix-esque kernel, slapped some proprietary drivers on it, and called it a day. it was proprietary garbage, but it served as a vector to use free software.it took off because it meant you could suddenly use gnu without needing to wait for the gnu project to actually work. it was essentially a vindication of industrial values: to mass markets, churning stuff out is more important than craft and soul.

       @histoire3 @Zergling_man @HatkeshiatorTND @Clippy The alternatives aren't particularly great either. Basically gfx cards are a shit bag now. You can pay over priced performance with AMD + AI slop. Or you can pay even more over priced performance with AI slop. But, Nvidia can ray trace better. Cool now go play Cyber Punk at 22 FPS, 1440p, with Ray Tracing on your 2000 dollar GPU. WOW SO COOL!.

       @Zergling_man @Clippy Possibly. But the law may not be enforcable. But, the owner could be fined for every time it's found to be violated. Or jailed. And, I think that would be more damaging is if they just lock up anyone actively developing outside mainstream tech.

       @HatkeshiatorTND @Clippy @NeverBeAYsMan Gnu is just a troonix clone. They just try to hack on some convenience features to a troonix base.

       @HatkeshiatorTND @Clippy @NeverBeAYsMan @Zergling_man @histoire3 I installed MX Linux  (MX-25.2) on an old clunker pc. But I've also heard of Raspberry Pi before, and that was listed on the 9front images available to download, so I might try and do that one on a tiny old computer I've got next. Also the MX install came with a manual which is good.

       @Clippy @histoire3 @NeverBeAYsMan @HatkeshiatorTND Raspberry Pi is hardware, so that would be an image to suit that hardware, not necessarily what you want. It might just be designed to be super light but it's more likely about drivers, cpu architecture, etc.

       @Clippy @HatkeshiatorTND @Zergling_man @histoire3 Neat. Rapsberry Pi is a single board computer. You could connect it to your clunker PC. Though... probably not going to have a result you might expect.I did a bit more reading. There is Raspberry Pi OS. Which is probably what you mean. And, having looked at it. Yes, this would likely make your old computer hardware work quite well for basic tasks. It will install on almost any computer.

       @NeverBeAYsMan @Clippy @Zergling_man @histoire3 if you have 9front on a pi, you could network it with any other 9front computer you have. i'm not currently running a 9front cluster (it's just on my laptop) but there's a guy on youtube called adventuresin9 who is, and he has videos where he discusses using 9front to monitor COโ‚‚ levels and such much more easily than if he were on gnu or bsd.

       @NeverBeAYsMan @Clippy @HatkeshiatorTND @Zergling_man @histoire3 The clunker has MX Linux on it now. Clunker PC's name is now Abeir. I will Fuck around on it a bit in my spare time to figure out of I like it. Also chose that one because Abeir need some help with modern WiFis and MX seems good for hardware with old WiFi capabilities. For a second device, a shitty old laptop (an old HP Stream, the laptop that should not have been, and the one I used the freeware version of an old chromebook OS on), it occurred to me as a fleeting thought that that could maybe be imaged with the Raspberry Pi OS because that has mirrored downloads on the 9front.org page that Hat linked to. I thought this as I recall seeing Raspberry Pi listed under specs of stuff like shitty emulators and etc that seemed really low demand to run. But I am guessing that they had specific hardware to run it. But no research done on it, yet.
