I just installed a Linux distribution for the first time (xubuntu)

Disable font shadows on desktop, no biggie, never personally seen it on an any installation of mine.

sudo apt-get autoremove *

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.

That's not stock xubuntu. You probably fucked up.

>>55921259
You're right, it wouldn't. Those icon fonts look stupid. Stuff like that happens a lot with Linux. Is it worth it? Why did you switch?

Get fucked baby.

Guys what's wrong with xubuntu? Did I choose a bad distro?

shoulda gone pure ubuntu

>>55921938
Xubuntu is okay, change your theme and this is a known issue and it's fixable. Look up online

oh what the fuck I just closed my laptop and opened it again and now my mouse cursor is fucking invisible.

Never install a distro that ends in buntu.

This is a known bug with Numix on Xubuntu. There's a package you can rollback or just wait for a fix.

...oh yea. FAGGOT!

>>55922016
This happens to me too, I just reboot. This is pissing me off and making me consider a new distro.

i use lubuntu

Is there no overview of my workspaces in xubuntu by default? What's the best tool for that? I want similar functionality to OSX

There's nothing in XFCE lad, this is what you get for going with Unix philosophy

>linux has problem(s)
>"what a fucking piece of shit, linux is such a meme, i'm never using this EVER again"

Why is there such a double standard? People just seem to take Window's (many) issues for granted and fix them without complaint, but when Linux has an issue, they denounce the entire range of operating systems and vow never to use them ever again. Also, they expect Linux to function -exactly- like Windows, and thus get angry when they have to go about doing things a bit differently (such as fixing issues or installing software).

>>55921564
then fucking google how to fix it or report it in the bug tracker

bitching on /g/ won't help

>>55922447
People also assume that everything that's ever included in a distro is developed by one person. There may be a great filesystem or stable SSH or good power efficiency but if an icon doesn't work then the whole thing must be poorly made. There are so many things to develop there and the parts that really matter are well made. You don't lose your files or fry your motherboard or get sudden downtime for server use because it's carefully planned to be great. The graphical side might be better if some of the graphics designer hipsters used Linux instead of Apple.

Wow you actually got online already? Better than my linux experience so far.
It took forever to get drivers on my ubuntu install, and the wireless network still periodically just disconnects.

>>55922447
Windows doesn't have basic shit go wrong like Linux. If your keyboard and mouse and internet just werk you are already doing great because that shit didn't even work for me properly without messing around. Actually my Firefox still doesn't work properly, every time I shutdown the browser it resets all the settings and everything. I tried to swap the OS language to Japanese and half the shit was in Japanese and half of it wasn't, not that I can't read english but what the fuck.

>>55921259
Yeah I've had this same thing happen to me twice now, usually when I'm messing around with themes and icons. I just reboot my computer and it fixes itself

None, but it looks nice.

>>55921259
You broke it.
Those icons aren't there when you first install it.
It wouldn't happen on Windows/OSX because you wouldn't be able to break it, but you also wouldn't be able to improve it.

>>55921259
Use KDE Neon instead of anything else.

>>55921259
thats not xubuntu

Remove Compton.

Wtf did you even do?

Just did a fresh xubuntu install and the front and icons dont look anything like that. OP must be legitimately retarded

Remember, according to linuxfags, all bugs in Linux are merely bloat that should have been disabled and removed in the first.

Just keep removing everything till you're left with nothing but a command prompt.

So after having problems with Ubuntu Gnome here and there, I installed Ubuntu Mate.
I'm kinda disappointed. It doesn't register my super key, haven't found a way to start a program with my keyboard and the green is ugly as fuck.
Maybe I should try to install Debian again?

>>55928376

Why won't XFCE just die already? It's as old as WIN95

>>55930322
Xfce is still lighter and more customizable than other DEs, while not compromising too much on features and ease of use. It's the right balance for my usage.

Also, Linux is older than WIN95.

>>55930568
I know what you're talking about, yet with every update I don't see any new stuff added to XFCE. (maybe that's why it's lightweight).

LXDE is ok

>>55930322
Why do you want it to die? Nobody forces you too use it. What actually does need to die is GNOME since it has a lot of bad influence on other projects.

>>55921259

Install gentoo (seriously), all your problems will be solved.
