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?
I currently don't know anything on the matter and I've been wanting to migrate from windows for once and stablish a comfy system, but it all seems so big and I don't know anything about GNU/linux usage.

>>48
oh, 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.

I can't for the life of me use Windows, and I wish I could.
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.

DWM is meant to be barebones. You may need to edit the source code and recompile it to your liking.

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.

Takes about 2h.
1. Download image of your choice
2. burn it or make a bootable thumb rive
3. install full package
4. sudo apt-get -i [anything you miss]
5. update and have fun

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.

You will at first encounter some issues like a new GUI and stuff, but I am sure you will find your way brave adventurer.

I'd like to switch to a certain linux distro, but have been putting it off. I don't like Windows 10 much, nor Windows 8, Windows 7 was the nicest, but I'd like to just find some linux system that works good. Also hesitant cause I don't know whether my games/visual novels and shit would run on linux. Windows 10 is really cancerous though.

Since you clearly sound new to the world of Linux, my recommendation would be Linux Mint. Simply because it's pretty stable, is extremely similar to Windows 7 out of the gate in terms of UI and like most popular distros is very simple to install and comes with plenty of great software.

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.

Don'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.

Unless 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.

Hmm, 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.

To 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.

Ricing 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.

Sushi 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.

Only available on AMD cards, it seems, and I haven't tried this setup because of that.
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.

If you have the money to spare, do go and have your fun, but there's a lot to save for not much lost.

In the process now of replacing a lot of software because I'm getting tired of the new trends of technology. Seamonkey is a great web suite. Also been using MobaXterm for a couple months now and it excels over everything else I have used in the past. Also got rid of my second monitor as I don't use it but for a chat window monitor. Reducing my clutter and possessions and this is extending into the digital realm as well. Was going to install Linux but I don't want to dual boot and there is too many Windows applications I'll need in the future and I don't want to have to use WINE. Trying the best I can to use some unix applications and make the best of what I have.

I know desktop icons aren't in style now to people but I like to have them available because Windows search is really slow once you have multiple HDDs and lots of data. Might have to use one of those third party search applications and disable Windows search, which I really don't want to do.

It is pretty much a slightly themed GNOME.

Been using Mac OS X for a little over 10 years now. I liked it a lot, but feel like the computers, the OS, and the software isn't as nice as they used to be. Been thinking about going back to GNU/Linux for desktop use for a while now, but no idea what to use as replacements for software I use on Mac OS X. Fiddling around with GNU/Linux (CRUX) on my laptop, but finding out what works well for me takes time, and I don't think I have anything worthy of a screenshot yet (it's just a plain stock i3 setup with a black background).

Took me many hours to get familiar with i3, but now it looks rather pleasant. It is still very basic, but that will change over time.
Now I have to automate most frequently used programs and set up ergonomical coding environment. : )

Too bad Linux doesn't have a proper music player / library, MusicBee under Wine is not very stable.

Tested Lollypop, it is enough for now. I might just switch to some cli player later. And Deadbeef just crashes my whole system, I do not even bother checking why.

Now you just need to make the bar and mint symbol transparent and you'll transcend to the rice fields.

>And Deadbeef just crashes my whole system, I do not even bother checking why.
This program is problematic, i could only install it in some recent version of mint. Before i tried and tried and nothing worked.
Oh well, doesn't matter now that you found another suitable player
