hey /g/ i am learning Linux and i am trying to make a Linux box.

i have a 6400GB WD and a 2TB WD HDD
and i was thinking about Mint and Windows
or Mint and "Ubuntu server" .
(i need a desktop OS and a training OS that i can wipe my training if i fuck up)
any suggestions?
>>
You can't "fuck up" Linux unless you play with something super deep into the system files. The worst you'll do is crash X.

Learn how to use nano. From there you can unfuck any problems you create directly from the terminal in ten seconds. Then go install Ubuntu.

Use Xubuntu. Or normal Ubuntu if you want to deal with the obnoxious mess that Gnome has become. Or CentOS if you want more of an 'enterprise' feel with more stability. Or Debian if you want even more stability. Or Fedora if you want something pretty that breaks all the time. Or Arch if you want something ugly that breaks all the time. Or Gentoo if you want the same and also want to build literally everything from source. Or Linux from Scratch if you want to make your own entire operating system. The world is your oyster, really.

Personally, though, I'd go with Xubuntu or CentOS.

Just run Windows in a VM for when you want to use MS Office. But dual-boot for games, unless it's something that runs on Linux through Steam etc-- increasingly many of them do.

Gentoo is what you want if you want training.
