Starting with mine, now-
Windows 7, which I've used since 13~ or so.
I'd like to customize it more, but I dont wanna use rainmeter. Im trying a few linux distros on virtual machines. I quite like antergos with the KDE desktop, I can get at lots of settings and customization from the GUI instead of textfiles and cli stuff, like im used to in windows. Though, it seems heavy as a sack of lead, so I'd only use it on a desktop. Properly learning arch or void and configuring fluxbox or openbox would probably be hard, but it'd be good for a laptop.
It is a repost, but I've not changed it too much since. The only significant things are a second monitor and mactype, which'as just kinda hurt the aesthetic because I cant figure out good settings for both latin and kanji.

Is there any guide/place on how to test and configure DEs nicely on *nix systems?

No.50
>>49>>48oh, and configuration, that depends on the DE and the software as far as I can tell. Some DEs come with alot of GUI for configuring them, some dont, and im not sure if they even have it. Without such programs, its editing text files. I imagine, certainly for me at least, that to someone totally unfamiliar with where linux keeps everything, and how its config files work, itd be better to ease into it with gui stuff+hand editing for some things it doesnt work so well for.

When I was little my family used macs, (both parents were artists and OSX, well OS8 back then, provided them with the tools they needed) so my first computers were always macs. Later on when I took an interest in technology, I began learning linux by throwing TahrPup on a shitty laptop and diving in.
I mention this because someone gave me a pc to play some Gaymes on, and I can't seem to even begin to work with windows, its all so foreign.

You guys have all of these cool custom desktops while I'm stuck with Win 8 and Mozarella Fiorex. How difficult would it be to install Linux (or some other geek-approved OS) on laptop? I don't use the laptop anyway, so I'm up for experimenting. It has an SSHD disk (I think?) that's supposed to be a hybrid of HDD and SSD, if that matters. Win 8 came with the laptop, so I thought I would have to get rid of it first somehow.

There are plenty of tools to automate the first two steps and the installation is as foolproof as it is under windows if you choose Ubuntu, Mint or some similar distro.

As far as games are concerned do you have most of your games on Steam? Because there is quite a lot of games on Linux these days. Otherwise, I would just have a spare computer with Windows on it and have it completely separate from the Internet and just install games from something like GOG and then have your main computer have Linux Mint on it.
When in doubt about games, just look it up.

>>398Don't delete W10 from your drive whatever you do. I'm a Linux guy, but I somehow always find myself needing certain Windows software at the most inopportune times.

Despite their simplicity, I've had lots of trouble with VN's and WINE.
No.403
>>402Unless Skype has killed their Linux client, I thought there was always a Linux version, it wasn't as good as Windows or Mac but it was there.
Plus, Skype is also browser based. Job application software? I'd like to hear this, most jobs I've dealt with have always been browser based, so I thought that OS didn't really matter much.
>VNs and WINEThis, one thing that was holding me back when I attempted Linux was VNs. I gave up using Linux full time long ago but I've always felt that many people could make the switch just fine.
No.413
>>399>>400>>402Hmm, I see. Thanks for the replies. I think that if VNs have trouble running on Linux then that's a bit of a barrier for me. What I'd like for Linux is a Windows 7-like system that I can rice up real nice, but unless I get some interests in coding/programming, it's probably more worth it to get Windows 7 instead.
No.414
>>413To be completely honest, I feel that ricing a Linux distro is a waste of time depending on what you need your computer for.
You don't really need coding skills to truly enjoy Linux. Especially if you just need your computer to browse the internet.
But if you are saying you'd be better off with Windows 7, that's cool too, not everyone wants or needs multiple computers. Only issue is that 7 has like 3 more years left of support.
No.419
>>414>>413Ricing is for fun. I rice one of my computers, but leave the other one mostly stock, its fun but not strictly necessary. Though I do find using RARE WINDOW MANAGERS can make using a laptop actually nicer, cwms window groups instead of workspaces are sweet.
Though, when I sometimes wake up nanami-tan for some particular game or something, I think "wow, this really is a mess isnt it?", and find I like my stock linux DE better as a normal desktop thing, in general.
What'd be great is a big impossible overpriced computer with two huge GPU's, one for the linux host and gaming on it one for the win7 VM,and 32 gigabytes of ram, 16 for the host and VM.
I dont have any coding skills whatsoever, also.
No.420
>>419Sushi I really don't know what you use your computer for but before spending needlessly on a "big impossible overpriced computer" consider that the linux host does not need more than a basic gpu or even the integrated gpu and as for ram you can easily get away with 8GB for linux host and windows passthrough vm.

>>420, and I would even go a step further and ask myself if I'm actually going to game all that much, because maybe you really don't need all that horsepower and therefore you could spend a lot less.

No.422
>>420>>421no, no, I want to play any games available on linux on linux, so the host would have to be able to do vidya too, so two GPUs, and giving nearly all memory to a VM sounds scary. Realistically 16 GB would do, though.

And, while 8gb can get a little small for windows when multitasking seriously, my 16gb split equally to a virtual machine and host has been working just fine.
