Simple question here...has anyone tried to install linux on a laptop with an i5 Skylake in it and/or an Nvidia 940m? Every time I try I get this waterfall of super fast text telling me something failed. Doesn't matter the build, it always happens. IF I can live boot and try to install from there, it begins to install and then shits the bed at some spot. I am convinced it's a hardware problem. Friend of mine is convinced I'm a fucking mongoloid.
skylake has been horrible with loonix, almost everyone uses older laptops now

So what happens when old laptops become too old and you can only get Skylake?

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.
Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Shut up stallman and use a fucking window manager already. It's 2016, not 1986.

probably linux will work on them and the newer generation will have the trouble. never ending loop

I bet you use the ncurses interface when you compile your kernel

I feel like you might be right....

Friend is correct. You're a fucking mongoloid.

I don't know. The evidence seems pretty stacked against him.

Spot on.

linux is a fucking meme. Just install windows vista for a pre-botnet experience.

I have the full blown pre-botnet experience right now. Just wanted the dually boots.
