Hey /g/, So I've been using Ubuntu 14.04 as my main OS

potatochop

gaymes

bout it

>>46624877
even then wine does a good job of photoshop and some games + steam on linux

>>46624877
Never use potatochop so that's ok and I can probably run a lightweight version in a Virtualbox-image.

>gaymes
Nah, not anymore I think. 25 years old now, Embedded Software Engineer/Consultant and there is a shitload of stuff to learn out there. I just want to make more money and buy a house and an Audi A5 right now.

>>46624935
Well what exactly do you do?

>>46624839
If you are on Linux, learn to use git on command line. It will really increase your productivity.

Do this little official Github command line tutorial: http://try.github.com/

>>46624839

visual studio
gaymen

thats it.

>>46624952
this

OP, you will miss this if you'll ever move back to Windows.

>>46624952
Yeah, this is definitely on my TODO list. I've been struggling with both Giggle as Smartgit so I've noticed that needs improvement. Coincidentally I suggested a git-training at work yesterday considering I noticed some colleagues struggle with it as well (and even worse, considering they didn't even understand branching with SourceTree). I already miss Sourcetree though.

Android Development, which I use Android Studio for now. C(++) dev, which I use Vim for and watching Chinese cartoons with VLC.

>>46625192
Then you lose nothing.

>>46625192
Just do this tutorial, it's like 10 minutes. And you are wasting time here anyway.

>not playing games on GNU/Linux

>>46625244
Way ahead of you

>>46625208
Great news. Anyone by chance have experience with good cloning tools? I would really like to make an identical copy of my current Ubuntu-system and basically just "drop" it on my SSD (holding into account that the SSD is only 250 GB as opposed to the current 500 GB partition)?

>>46625416
What's the point of that? Just copy a list of installed packages and your /home.

>tfw AMD will never have decent drivers on GNU/Linux

>>46625510
Well, I have several Android Source repo's on my partition (each one is > 50GB) and within them, I have tons of symbolic links to other working repositories which I use to flash custom ROM's. I'm just afraid that if I port it to the SSD, the symbolic links might get screwed up and that I'll be left with a shitton of compilation errors and fixing to do.

>>46625416
You can use a gparted boot disc to easily resize and copy partitions around.

>>46625551
>nor Windows.

>>46625619
Symbolic link content NEVER CHANGES. It doesn't matter if it's absolute or relative. This is not windows.

>>46625640
This is what I do.
Or get a Linux mint livecd; it has gparted on it.

Don't be a /g/oblin. Use elementaryOS

It's Ubuntu LTS except it has a custom DE. It's thinner but 100% compatable and sexier.

>>46625697
>elementaryOS
u wot?

op use mint you fag

>>46625697
No thanks, if I really wanted/needed the minimalist approach I'd go for Manjaro.

>>46625732
Mint seems cool, but I don't see the big advantage over Ubuntu.

>>46625697
>elementaryO's shilling

gtfo wannabe macfag

>>46625861
>I don't see the big advantage over Ubuntu.

>no amazon ads
>no shitty design decisions
>no unity

Xubuntu > Lubuntu > Gnome Ubuntu > Ubuntu MATE > Ubuntu Cinnamon > Ubuntu > Kubuntu

ubuntu is a solid distro, and even though unity has some drawbacks, it's a proper DE that is only getting better with each release. plus, spaceman-billionaire-hero mark shuttleworth is behind it (pic related). you won't miss windows. don't let idiots convince you otherwise.

>>46625933
>no jews

>>46624877
This.

>>46625933
>no amazon ads
fixubuntu.com
>no shitty design decisions
>no unity
subjective

I'd go with Ubuntu, it has the most support and available packages and ppas.
