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.

my desktop got BTFO'd and I'm thinking about getting a crappy thinkpad as a cheap replacement for meanwhile, never paid attention to the thinkpad threads so here is my question: which model is the best and how much euros do have to spend for a internet machine? I obviously intent on buying a used one, and I think about spending 50-100 euros, will it do?

whats your favourite ganooix editor, /g/? everyone talks about emacs and vim, but what about other editors?

ive used kate for a while, but recetly its been playing up for me, so i was thinking about trying something else out. nano is pretty comfy, but its not as convenient as a gui text editor for some things. i kinda miss a lot of the features i have on visual studio, and was considering giving VS code a go.
