What about the Ubuntu?

I know there is a meme on /g/ about it, but what is the real problem ( if any) aside of not having to use the terminal?

>>55476920
What makes Gentoo faster than Arch?

It comes with a fuckload of bloat.

Any possibility of I Uninstall those programs later on, or they are like the apps from Android?

Also, I don't know the file extension and such so a Linux that rely too much on the terminal will fuck me over :(

Ignore the arch/gentoo shills. If you actually want to have a good experience coming from windows get xubuntu or lubuntu. They are both forks of ubuntu but much more lightweight. If you try and manually install arch or gentoo you will give up in 10 min and never want to touch linux again.

Also the bloat these autists are bitching about does not really affect performance. They just get mad that it comes with things like a bunch of printer drivers so that you can connect a printer and it just works. They prefer to spend hours looking online for them and then manually configuring/compiling them to work on their system because autism.

Newcomers should install any of the *buntu variations and Linux Mint. I personally recommend Xubuntu but any *buntu should work fine.
But I can't recommend getting into Linux as you'll spend more time installing and reinstalling OSes than looking at cat videos. Pirate Windows 10, nstall it and don't look back.

optimized synthesizers for the polygon generator.

Nope. Windows is dead to me.

Really want to use Linux from now on.

I don't want to keep cracking every single program I need knowing there is a similar for free in another OS.

Also, I don't want to worry about viruses and malwares ever again.

You should get Linux Mint.
It's really easy to use LIKE ubuntu but doesn't come with all the shit Ubuntu comes with, including the amazon spyware.

I dont like the whole Black lives matter bullshit movement, but I am happy that cops are getting what they deserve, albeit not all of them deserve it but they now see how the power gets to their head and all the bullshit they pull.

If someone pulls a gun to you, I don't see what the cop should not respond.

Also, targeting cops at random is fucking evil. These guys will get fucked.
