Lads, how do I stop myself from distro hopping? In 2016 alone

Get a new hobby. One that keeps you away from computers.

Shooting yourself would be one way to stop

>>55404133
If you're hopping distros that often, it means you don't use your computer for anything that's actually productive. People who use their computer to get shit done will groan at the thought of re-installing their OS because it's time lost doing work.

>install gentoo

>>55404868
It means he's trying to do something that a typical loonix distro and its community are really shit at

It probably has something to do with package management and package selection

>i want this semi-obscure program
>but i need to compile this whole independent environment of shit my distro doesn't package and work around conflicting versions?
>nobody is working on patching it for my distro's retardation?
>time for a new distro!
or the more common autism version
>i want this program but it comes with all this crap? i don't want 500mb of this crap!
>time to install gentoo!

>>55404133
install gentoo, you will stay with it foreva

>>55404133
Try OS X. I found myself in situation like yours until i installed it. Still using it after 1 year.

>>55404133
Get a real job that actually requires you to use a computer for more than the fourth channel, and install Windows like a fucking adult.

As your attorney I advise you to install Fedora 24.

>>55405102
not him.
while Fedora 24 is overall great with better font rendering and new GNOME, I had many problems with third party software. I could not start Icecat (segfault just at start) and Chromium was not behaving properly (i could not open more than one tab, after using two/more everything went wahoonie because of segfaults), so I don't think that it's already mature version. I switched back to 23.

Have not had any trouble with 24 yet,, Todays article on Distrowatch was just weird..

This, if you're using your computer to do actual work, distros are the last thing you want to change, just pick one and work.

>Check compatibility of all programs on lincuck
>video games top of list with highest compatibility
>full Adobe suite and photoshop available with shit tier compatibility
no thanks anon. Enjoy your meme, I prefer making money in the real world to hiding in a basement trying to protect my freedoms from the big bad government.
I don't massively stockpile CP or order drugs online, so I have no need for lincuck or the cyber security meme.

While the later is generally true, this particular setting is avaible in settings → power →blank screen. shitty article

How's that grape drink taste you NEET nigger?
If you work on your computer daily Windows is the only choice.
Wanna be a gamer with a loli folder and bad news bears dark net adventures- go lincuck.
Your choice, red or blue pill.

>>55404133
get a grillfriend

>>55405262
>If you work on your computer daily Windows is the only choice
oh gosh, what a piece of utter trash of a human you are. If I want to develop software or administrate servers, make an „cloud app”… In this kind of work that I'm involved in there is only your hated Leenoox, maybe some BSD from time to time.
And now just go be a gaymer on >>>/v/

>>55405262
OS X is better than windows.

>>55404133
i stopped once i started using arch

>>55404896
This is the correct answer.

It's posts like these that drive me to escape from /g/ via increasingly depraved gay furry porn (it's drawn by japs so it's okay)

>Adobe shit
>Thinks he's significant

When society collapses you will be a farmhand/slave if you want food and shelter. The artist was starving before he got into the pockets of bureaucrat-"philosophers" and convinced them that he deserved economic protection for his worthless profession, a mere hobby for most people.

Install Gentoo.

By the time you get shit working you won't want to switch anymore.

How's that McDonald's job treating you senpai, in the real world we use Adobe because it's the industry standard, and being so, means that's what companies expect to be used.

Use a VM and test whether or not you like the distro first before reinstalling your entire OS.

>Lads, how do I stop myself from distro hopping?
Don't worry about it, everyone goes through a distro-hopping stage and it sorts itself out with time.

>>highest priority for all lincuck faggots is their precious vidya
well, there are much more gaymers on windows than on leenoox, face this simple fact faggot.
Also the gaymes are significantly easier to port, you just need to have one, video library, gayme's code contains everything else, it's almost self sustaining.
Compare this to amount of libraries that for eg. adobe PS use.

>>55404133
The Apple MacBook Pro with Retina Display doesn't have this problem.

Grow out of your autism, I stopped playing around with OS's when I was like 13 and realized actually doing things on a computer was more fun

>>55404133

Get Virtualbox?
