I just bought a Lenovo x230. I'm going to switch to Linux from Windows for the first time in my life but I'm not sure which distro to choose.

I'm in comp sci and I know very basic shell/bash scripting. As of now I'm thinking Ubuntu. Any suggestions?

As this is a Unix thread I cannot recommend GNU/Linux as I do not use it

If you're looking for a free Unix OS, I recommend FreeBSD

I'm running MacOS on my rMBP, nice shit

I am not liking Windows 10 at all on my desktop though - is it worth trying to turn it into a hackintosh?
I hear there's problems.

>>57892079
That would be fine, but use Ubuntu Gnome to avoid annoying botnet and shitty themes

>>57892090
you're right; GNU's Not linux! My bad first time on this board

>>57892079

should have gotten x220 it runs real UNIX, osx

GNU's better and more accessible.

Just to make half of you fags happy I would choose Mac OS X but I come from a poor family and Tuition steals my money ;)

Honestly, I don't want to buy an iMac with outdated hardware, wish I could easily build my own desktop and use macOS as a desktop OS. Looks like I don't have much of a choice though.

Nice Unix desktop.

>>57892079
Linux Mint >>>>> Ubuntu and it's even more user friendly

>>57892198
Me neither.
I honestly thought about selling this PC and getting an iMac/Mac Mini.
>outdated hardware
It's honestly not that bad. Sure, it's overpriced, but a standard i5, an SSD, and 8GB of RAM is enough for most computing tasks

>>57892179
Nice!

Yeah sure, I don't do too much gaming, I just want an iMac with updated thunderbolt 3 ports (usb-c is the future). Honestly I'll get the next iMac when it updates.

What the fuck is there to discuss about macs? It's closed source and it is what it fucking is.
