Welcome to /fglt/ - Friendly GNU/Linux Thread.
Users of all levels are welcome to ask questions about GNU/Linux and share their experiences.
*** Please be civil, notice the "Friendly" in every Friendly GNU/Linux Thread. ***
Before asking for help, please check our list of resources[*].
If you would like to try out GNU/Linux you can do one of the following:
0) Install a GNU/Linux distribution of your choice in a Virtual Machine using VirtualBox or other software made for this puporse for safety purposes.
1) Use the Live ISO (if your distribution of choice has one) to boot directly into the GNU/Linux distribution without installing anything, that way, you can get to experience the GNU/Linux operating system without installing it.
2) Dual boot the GNU/Linux distribution of your choice along with Windows or macOS, this is recommended if you want to know more about the GNU/Linux operating system.
3) Go balls deep and replace everything with GNU/Linux.

I'm returning to college, and I am looking for a netbook that has:
>fast boot time
>cheap
>good battery life
>non-OSX
>non-chrome
>separate clicker buttons on touchpad
>primarily for web browsing/document editing
After looking at a couple dozen top-rated netbooks, the best candidate is the Lenovo IdeaPad 100s:
http://www.cnet.com/products/lenovo-ideapad-100s/
The only downside seems to be
>flimsy feeling keyboard
Is there a major flaw in this netbook that I seem to be unaware of? Are there other things I should be taking into consideration? Is there a netbook that you know to be a better fit for a poor college student who wants to do his homework while out of the house?
I am also assuming that I can install Ubuntu on it to make it run even faster, and that there is plenty of software GNU/Linux software for me to do my typical class assignments in the typical windows file formats and turn them in, but correct me if I'm wrong.

You can't install linux or any other OS on it. Also it doesn't have much storage.
You're better off buying a used thinkpad.

How do I stop my distro hopping?
I go from Ubuntu first (good beginner's OS, never had problems) to Mint (is okay. Personally I felt like it was a poo in loo distro) to Manjaro (Kinda like it) and now I feel like trying out another distro. I don't mind testing out distros on a VM but I've been swapping homes back and forth for a while now. Should I just force myself to stay with Manjaro?

Remember the following:

>sneaky bastards will try to convince you into believing that cheating can be evaded, it can't and you will be banned with those bastards laughing at you

>don't respond to anime posters, they are known to ruin threads and shitpost, report and ignore.
>most of the invite offers here are people trolling you with false hope - begging for invites is a waste of time and you should just interview at What.cd

haven't ever heard of any kind of official threads....invites seem to be available sporadically on various power user forums. I keep on missing them by thaaaat much. I make PU most places but don't have a BTN account so maybe there's one there. KG and BTN are my white whales, although there's more hope for KG than BTN someday reenabling accounts that were disabled more than a year. BB seemed to have a pretty good stream of invites at one point but not any longer. WCD had some recently but they went in two seconds...sigh.

These thread belong on t the board dedicated to torrents. So fuck off.
