Final. This is exactly what I've done, and now I'm happily using plain ol' Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. No regrets.

I guess I'm on final stage except I don't have the time to configure the objectively superior Cinnamon on Ubuntu 16, so I just go with Mint

I use linux mint KDE and I don't give a fuck.

Using Fedora. Bypassed debian because I'm to dumb to get the wifi to work on my laptop

>>58029942
There's another stage, the true final one: you go back to Windows because it really works as a desktop OS.

>>58029942
relative to trying to get shit to work on ubuntu or debian, arch is a dream.

I went from...

Fedora -> Crunchbang -> Xubuntu -> Ubuntu GNOME - > Debian

I'm still on Debian and will probably stay here. It works perfectly fine on my laptop and I couldn't care less about having newer packages than what's provided on Debian Stable. I'd probably use Fedora over Debian if it wasn't so bleeding edge.

I skipped to the arch stage, ubuntu works like shit on my pc for reasons unknown and I don't want to spend a couple weeks trying to fix it when arch just works.

>>58029942
Mandriva > Ubuntu > x/lubuntu > Arch > Windows.
Windows Is the true "welcome back" tier.

>>58029942
This is literally what I've done but with an added final stage where you switch to Solus.

>>58030041
This is only true if you want to play games.

Don't know if I should go Ubuntu or Mint.

Or use a decent Office suite, Photoshop, CAD program, etc.

Manjaro is wonderful and stable and i love the repositories including the AUR. Would highly recommed Linux Mint Debian because it's essentially debian with actual fucking firmware that works out of the box.

I went from Windows to Debian to Xubuntu.
Though I don't care for showing off epeen or /g/ approval, I do like customisation.

>>58030237
Debian, but it's watever.

>>58029942
Been using Gentoo for years, you never have to make it yourself difficult just have a stage4 ready to rock with all your configs and you be set for life

>>58029942
What? Gentoo is the best distro, and I've never had problems in my 3 years of using it. I use it because of the features it has, not because it's 1337.

Fuck off with your forced memes.

>>58029942
I'm at the "whoever made those blocks of text should hang himself" phase.

Ubuntu or a community ubuntu with a different desktop. Mint is insecure

>>58029942
holy shit lol

>>58029942
That picture is literally truth. I was gentard for awhile and now im back to fedora.

I entered Fedora from the start and and never left. Then again I was never on /g/ when I first tried Linux. This whole distro hoping is fucking cancer. I installed Mandriva once (installed over Ubuntu because I didn't like its drum theme) on a secondary machine but that computer died the next day. Fucking Dell hardware, good thing I got it for free. It was probably for the best since they died.

>>58030080
>Windows Is the true "welcome back" tier
I would only go back to Windows if its the only way to run Tekken 7 on PC and that would be a secondary OS. Otherwise its impossible for me to go back to Windows since I can't middle click the new tab on Chromium and doesn't encrypt the whole drive by default.

>>58029942

Never started the cycle, start with SuSE 6.3 and still using openSuSE. Make the right choice first and forever

>>58029942
I stopped using Linux and stick with Windows because it seems like you have to decide between
>no botnet
>real hardware/software support
I used to use Debian because it's not botnet but fuck their WiFi and audio compatibility. I don't want to use Ubuntu because it's crippled Debian sponsored by Amazon.

What, Kubuntu? Hell no. Upgrading them workstations from 14.04 to 16.04 was a mistake, plasma crashes for no apparent reason on freshly installed systems, and it just freezes occasionally. You could blame a particular PC but I saw that happening on a variety of configs and rarely it was a user's fault.
I wish we'd just switch to regular Ubuntu, KDE is a mess.

Hackintosh at home is a smooth sailing btw.

>>58030607
>real hardware/software support
Only on W10. It's painful to see, how hard they try to spread that shit and intel will help them as usual. I sometimes think about trying W10, but the features can't make it enough good to give up on linux and a vm is always enough if something incompatible with wine.

>>58030657
why do you have almost 3000 packages anon?
and you have a very specific cpu frequency there too!

Fedora.

In the end you want stable, latest packages, and justwerks security.

>>58030669
>Hackintosh at home is a smooth sailing btw
The installation is a major pain in the ass.

I actually know what I'm doing, so I'm perfectly happy with Gentoo thanks...

>>58030620
that says a hacker took control of the linux mint website. and replaced download links with a botnet distro. That doesnt mean the linux mint distro itself is insecure just that the website is hosted by a bunch of retards

stage 2 brainlet detected. come back when you realize you want your distro to have firmware so it works out of box on all machines and don't want outdated libraries, packages and security updates.

>>58029942
Ubuntu -> Debian -> Fedora -> Antergos -> Arch -> Manjaro

Finally dropped Arch because I got bored with the desktop meme. Settled on Manjaro because I like the default settings on XFCE. I pretty much run on a vanilla set-up and happy with it so far. I might move on to a Debian fork, but Manjaro is just too comfy.

you guys do realize that ever distro is the same, right? you could give me a machine with ubuntu installed and, with enough time, i could turn it into gentoo. distrowars are for the weakminded and insecure - use whatever you want

Debian, with some simple customization.

I did go to stage 5 for a bit and have Ubuntu as a backup, but I am willing to deal with some pain if it means supporting ideas I agree with. And just plan to use genaric hardware next time to avoid most of these issues next time.

I use several kinds of distros. The only common thing they have is the DE.

this guy gets it. finally a realist free software user. one in a million man I swear. most of them just REEE and try to twist reality so they can believe that debian is actually better in every way, that they actually like using the ancient outdated packages and lack of out of box support.

If debian is too complicated for you then why even bother using linux at all? you clearly have no self respect as you allow a south african commercial company to harvest your data.

I have 100000% more faith in using windows 10 than some fucking south african company adding spyware in a "just werks" distro.


>Ubuntu uses the information about searches to show the user ads to buy various things from Amazon. Amazon commits many wrongs (see http://stallman.org/amazon.html); by promoting Amazon, Canonical contributes to them. However, the ads are not the core of the problem. The main issue is the spying. Canonical says it does not tell Amazon who searched for what. However, it is just as bad for Canonical to collect your personal information as it would have been for Amazon to collect it.

>Thread: How to remove default installed "Ubuntu Spyware"
So, how do I get this stuff out of my computer? What packages are involved? I know it can be turned off but its default state is On (which it clearly shouldn't be) and I don't want to check it at every update to see if it is back at the default setting.

Holy shit, I... I had no idea about these stages. I currently threw mint on a netbook because i wanted to try it over ubuntu... Am I gonna die?

I have impossibly high standards on what my tech SHOULD do, but at some point sadly compromises need to be made as I have other things to do with my life.

But that is a far cry from staying ignorant and using widows as "it came preinstalled".

Personally if the software does what I need then I don't care how old it is. I find the do everything stuff tends to have too many issues. And don't get me started on this whole lets redo the UI every few years because makes no sense.

>>58029942
My evolution was completely different. This image doesn't seem to match me at all

I started with debian and made fun of the gentoo users, but then I eventually got pissed off by how difficult and convoluted debian made everything and switched to gentoo

Reasonable happy with my choice, but I'm sort of considering moving to NixOS one of these days because of portage limitations (can't install multiple versions of arbitrary packages)

Final. But I still customize everything. I'm on gnome Ubuntu but I'll probably switch to fedora. I use it at school with cinnamon and it's great.

SuSE also exists you know... It's somewhere between the 2 and 3 I guess.

In my poor experience with linux I came to the conclusion that there are 2 kinds of linux distros:
1. Distros that are not meant or and not very friendly to everyday users. Used mainly by developers, retards or aliens.
2. Ubuntu and derivatives (maybe Debian too)

Used Debian. Went to mint. Now back on Windows. Still maintain an old version of mint on an old PC.

Debian stopped being fun the 3rd time I had to spend a week figuring out how to get audio, graphic drivers, and my Ethernet port to work.

Xandros (EEEPC version)
Puppy
Salix
Mint
Sabayon
Slitaz
OpenSuse

>>58030698
Not so bad. Just make sure you have compatible hardware at tonymacx86, maybe find a Golden Build post from someone who has it working fine and model your build on that. Multibeast and Clover makes it really simple to get everything up and running once you know what you're doing. Weird stuff will hang you up too, like you have to take out your GPU and keep only one stick of RAM in during install. Once it's stable, put all your PCI-E cards back in and install nVidia web drivers.

Honestly it's more of a balancing act than just going with straight Linux or Windows, but like anon said, once it's stable it's very stable and behaves like a normal Mac. I guess it's only worth it if you really prefer the macOS environment, or work with audio, video, graphics, that kind of stuff.

did you not hear that a few official mirrors were compromised fairly recently? someone rolled some backdoor into the install images. it was since corrected, but lots of people probably still have it unknowingly..

>>58029942

That's retarded. Changing distros and flavors are not ONLY changing DE's.

Each flavor of a distro has their own development and compromises due to the release schedule. Take Ubuntu, which fucks up Kubuntu and Gnome because they are unable to develop using the latest Qt or GTK toolkit, or even the latest Gnome and KDE versions which are mostly full of fixes.

Take, for example, the regressions which happened on the latest Ubuntu, which some are fixed on Mint, or even in some cases, fixed on different flavors like Ubuntu Mate.

Bullshit. Gentoo and Arch have a totally different way of treating updates and do it all the time. It doesn't necessarily equals to bleeding edge, as you can choose when to update.
Even worse, you can also choose spins such as Manjaro, which tries to fix bugs and ensure a little more of quality assurance on the packages.

Fuck this shitty meme. Fuck /g/.

>>58032581

Yes, it is.

>>58032283
unless you're installing something new every day like a child on Windows XP, it's only during updates and installation.

Ubuntu is best for me right now.

Finally I am able to work on a linux system in my laptop while not missing too much time, eventually being more efficient I am certain.

I hate unity, loved i3wm but can't finish some details, gnome 3.22 is comfy, but I miss tiling a lot. Can't find anything to work on wayland.

Any recomendation? ( Never tested cinnamon nor kde, also curious of othet tiling alternatives.)

>>58030695
This case for fedora makes it very appealing...

My only gripe with Ubuntu is with the limitless support and stability, there comes a corporate backbone that guarantees those qualities.

I use Debian and Windows, because I don't want to feel like a dirty slut when the repo asks if I really want to install bloatware. Linux must be clean and immaculate, so I just use it to watch movies, shitpost and program. The nasty things, I spare for the old whore

>>58034648

Debian has a separate non-free repository that you need to willingly and conciously enable in sources.list first.

I started on the last stage, and I'm still there. The description has always fit me perfectly:
* I never wanted Linux to be difficult.
* I always knew Linux was customizable.
* I never cared about popularity.
* I always knew that customizing was not that important.
* I've always had real work that I needed to do.

And, most importantly, I chose Ubuntu because I wanted the single most popular distro, so that when I search for problems on Google, I'll get the maximum number of hits, maximizing my chances of getting a quick solution.

>>58029942

I really like ubuntu (just auto-hide the sidebar and get the numix theme icons and shit)

is this the new n00buntu projecting thread?

>>58035624

>>58029942
I've only ever used Debian based distros, and fedora. I liked packages being more up to date in fedora, but I literally just missed apt-get and so I switched to debian testing and I've been pretty happy with it.

It has probably been something like this:
>Windows -> Ubuntu -> Mint -> Debian -> Dabble in Arch, but mostly Mint -> OS X for a long ass time -> Ubuntu -> Manjaro.
Manjaro has been kinder to me than Ubuntu and Mint ever was. Tried Fedora 25 before Manjaro, but the proprietary NVIDIA drivers crashed X so fuck that noise.

As far as I can see, I'll continue using Manjaro for a long ass time if it continues to be as good as this. Didn't even need to install the damn proprietary drivers as it was pre-installed out of the box by choosing non-Stallmanite install.

This, except Mint because no botnet and everything that works for ubuntu largely works on Mint also. Also cinammon is pretty nice.

I started with Gentoo, went to Debian because fa/g/g/ots said it was good, then went back to Gentoo because Aptitude is fucking garbage.

I am using Ubuntu until my 480 gets to me. I fucking hate using Ubuntu; every other popular distro is significantly better. Apt-get is a horrible package manager. Pacman and Zypper wipe the fucking floor with this thing. Unfortunately, Nvidia drivers only work with Ubuntu.

I now am in machine learning space taking tons of investor money for just a small bit of skill and a whole lot of meme

>>58038454

The "established distros" don't give a shit about Linux Mint.

It was made to showcase Cinammon with an alternative to Ubuntu when that received major backlash over Unity and Amazon integration. It simply got lucky. Nothing more.

Also "enjoyable"? Mint? Are we talking about the same distribution here? The one with the godawful updater that installs random image viewers by default?

>>58029942
It's funny how accurate this is for most Linux users I know. It describes me perfectly from about 2005 to 2012. Running Mint 18 right now.

Fedora though? Is it any good these days? Every time I try it it seems to fuck something similar please up. It's been a few years, though.

My progression: Ubuntu -> Xubuntu -> Debian with i3

I dislike Arch setup, Manjaro is unstable, Arch Anywhere doesn't have croatian keyboard layout but I love pacman the most.

>>58029942

I use ubuntu/win7 dual booth with my desktop and I came across while couchsurfing in Berlin. The guy was some programmer and he let us use his computer for his guests with ubuntu on it. Since then I tried lubuntu, crunchbang etc but I find ubuntu best because I like unity. I'm using macbook pros daily since late 2007.

so I'm at the last stage from the start. gg wp.

DOS -> Redhat -> Windows

The first distro I ever installed and attempted to use was Ubuntu, but all combined I've only spent maybe 2 or 3 total hours on it. I've also installed several other distros like Mint, Xubuntu, etc, but again I never got around to actually using them. Lately I tried out installing Arch and succeeded. I might even go full i3wm ricing both to try it and to force myself to not rely on a gui desktop for once. I may eventually return to Ubuntu or try out Fedora, but my first goal is to break my Win7 habit, starting with learning how to code without being tethered to Visual Studio or Windows based IDEs and binary files.

>>58039033
Why Fedora on your laptop, instead of Manjaro as well?

>>58039076
I only need Manjaro because it has very recent software, important for my RX 460 and for KDE5. Fedora is fine for my laptop, which has a 4th gen intel chip and which I prefer to use GNOME3 on.

And that's another thing. I hated GNOME3 when I first tried it, but oddly some of the desktop effects that KDE has warmed me up to GNOME3's design. I still hate their autistic devs, but tweak tool makes it tolerable.

>>58029942
Never used Ubuntu. Just jumped off Win7 to Mint. Been here happily for about 2 years now, with no real motivation to move on.

I just want a nice comfy desktop distro that: >werks, is stable, gets the latest security patches the second they're released, can install the latest packages if and when needed, and comes with minimal / no pre-installed bloat.

What distro should I look at /g/?

>>58039033
Screen tearing was always fixable with Nvidia drivers. You just need to enable vsync.

I started over 7 years ago on Kubuntu, then

Xubuntu
OpenSuse
Fedora
Sabayon
Arch for 6 months until it broke
Salix, really liked it, super stable and fast
Linux Mint Debian Edition since a couple of years

>>58039378
KDE Neon always has the latest Plasma desktop. It only comes with a few applications.

>>58039429
>Screen tearing was always fixable with Nvidia drivers. You just need to enable vsync.
This is simply not true. Nvidia's drivers are wildly inconsistent and especially bad on newer hardware. Good luck running it open source. It doesn't help that KDE is the only DE that truly managed to eradicate X server screen tearing anyway. Wayland fixes the whole issue, but even GNOME3 has displayed minor tears on my 4th gen Intel graphics.

>>58039440
What's the difference between Mint Cinnamon and Debian?

>>58029942

Arch has been a hundred times easier than ubuntu for me. I hate having to unfuck everything debian based distros fuck up when they ship. I guess you guys like having all your modules compiled in the kernel so you can't use the official nvidia drivers without recompiling and blacklisting nouveau.

>>58039521

Has there been a slackware release in the last decade?

The last one? I'm using Fedora now (after Ubuntu, Ubuntu GNOME, Arch, and Debian)

>>58039378
>werks, is stable, gets the latest security patches the second they're released, can install the latest packages if and when needed, and comes with minimal / no pre-installed bloat

>You use multiple different distros for different situations. Ubuntu minimal or an Ubuntu flavor on desktops and strong laptops. Arch on weak laptops. Saybayon on personal servers. CentOS on professional servers.

>>58039811
>Arch
>Is stable
No. Nothing based on Arch is good in this situation.
I'd go with Ubuntu Minmal, as you can pretty much build the thing from scratch like Arch, but the difference is that it'll actually be stable.

first stage, I finally took the plunge and completely wiped the windows botnet off my computer and installed ubuntu (instead of just running it in a VM or on my thinkpad that i don't use often). i figure it's the best way for me to learn, jumping right into it, like i used to do when i was younger and got into computers. so far i'm glad i don't run windows anymore. except that windows 10 felt a lot snappier than ubuntu on my machine. to be fair, i built this desktop in 2009 and it's started to show it's age.

Between 3 and 4, I guess.

I started using Mint in '09, and went back and forth between that and Windows. In the past couple of years I've gone from Mint to Debian, back to Mint, to Manjaro, and finally settled on Antergos. I've been pretty happy with it, but I still try out some other distros from time to time.

>>58040323
FreeBSD is probably for the best if you like Gentoo, since they emphasize ports more than pkgs.

But OpenBSD has better defaults and is more logical in general imo.

>Red Hat
>Slackware
>Debian
>Gentoo

Installed Gentoo ten years ago and it's just been rolling on.

10 years of PC life

Windows 98 (1 month)
Windows XP several years
Red Hat Linux 9 - 1 month
Mandrake Linux (ex mandriva)
Mandriva Linux - 1 year
Windows 7 - for years
Windows 8 - 1 year
OS X Mountain Lion
Dual Boot OS X Yosemite + Bootcamp Windows 10
bootcamp removed, macOS Sierra only atm.

Never tried Ubuntu, I installed and it didn't allowed me to use "su root" only sudo. uninstalled it right away.

Mandriva was really the best distro, classic one and user-friendly. I'm happy I used Mandrake/Mandriva to meet Linux.

>>58029942

Were you are right:

1) I started with n00buntu (but I found out that it's shit).

2) I switched to Mint and occasionally use Debian.

3) recently I've started cutomizing a lot of stuff by myself.


Where you are wrong:

1.) I probably won't use Gentoo or Arch, I'd rather learn another programming language than fucking around with drivers or something. I want something that works, the "midgets on the shoulders of giants" thing, you know?

2.) I will NEVER use n00buntu again, Mint is better in every single way, starting with sucking canonical's dick, the retarded codec policy of n00buntu, cinnamon >>> KDE or vanilla gnome, the n00buntu "distro upgrades" that fucked my system and made me reinstall everything (lol, hope you did backup everything redcently?), also Mint has a sweeter design, better menus and default install and so on.

Ubuntu
Mint
Arch
Debian
Why is this so accurate?!

>>58044661
Schizoid stage. It's clear that you don't have any real work to do since you spend all your time fucking around with different operating systems. Grow a fucking backbone and make a decision.

Ascended.

"After trying all that shit, you realize there is no real difference in daily difficulty between each distro when properly set up. If anything, the decisions of retarded package maintainers contribute to more headaches than the architecture of the distro itself. So you gave up and bought a mac because managing your own software is worth duplicating a few shared libraries".

>>58044800
>not saving disk space and staying 1000% up to date on the latest security fixes

Final here. Happily using Fedora.

>>58029942
I use both Ubuntu and Debian so last stage technically.

>>58029942
I started with le Gnu/Debian Loonix maymay a friend showed me. Being a Windows tard I managed to fuck everything up in less than a week and also lose my Windows. Other friend showed me Arch and drove me through the installation process step by step (those days it still had the ncurses based installer) and redirected me to the Wiki.
I somehow managed to survive through all these years though I'm still as shit as I was on day 0. On my previous machine I fucked the system so hard it took 2 minutes to boot. Instead of bothering to fix it and move it to my new machine now I installed a new copy of Arch cause that's the only distro I can somewjat survive on. Plus the Wiki literally spoonfeeds the user all the time.
Windows XP on a virtual machine survived 2 host changes and a few hosts reinstalls. I'm using Loonix/GNU exclusively and only keep the virtual Windows for very few tools I've needed for the uni like Multisim, masm or MSSQL.

>>58029942
Debian fag but that's for NAS

>>58029942
that last stage is arch if you don't do real work

>>58029942
Final stage with xubuntu. If it doesn't have something (which is a rare event in itself), I can just download it, using the package manager. If i need to customize it, I can just write a kernel module for it.

Using something unpopular is dumb, even for hipster cred it's dumb. Ubuntu is Linux at heart and when you grow up with Linux, you learn Linux is Linux, no two way about it

>>58029942

>>58029942
Stage 6: enlightenment. After realizing that arch is not, in fact, a different name for gentoo, as you once believed, you use the only good distro ever made, the only stable distro at all, and the distro with the second most packages of all: Gentoo. There is no step 7.

I went through all the stages except for 3.
I guess it was a good decision to not have wasted any time on it.

I used lubuntu for a very short time, then I got a new laptop on which I have Windows 7/Ubuntu Dual boot.

I almost never use Windows anymore, but cant uninstall it since I need CAD/CAM programs sporadically. I wish there was a professional CAD/CAM program for linux.

Currently debating going to Arch once I get time in the new year. Ubuntu works great for me, but I would like to go through the process of setting up everything on my own just for the hell of it.

freecad is a thing.
Also vga passthrough.

Slackware was my first distro. Was briefly using Mandrake/Mandriva before switching to Ubuntu some time around 2006-2007, which I've been using since.

I've been stuck on the Arch phase for 2 years because it just works, and all Ubuntu did was give me errors and slow apt-get installs. Nothing quite like the Pacman package manager, I'm afraid.

It only just works if you never restart and didn't reinstall in the past 2 years.

i've been using it for 2 years anon, and I've had more issues on Windows and Ubuntu than I've had on Arch.

Right now I'm using Arch since about 2 years ago and it just werks. Until it breaks in some catastrophic way or I decide to upgrade my hardware, I have no reason to switch from it, but at that time I'm really not sure what distro I'll install instead. Unless it breaks catastrophically, I might just stick with Arch because it's what I'm used to and you don't have to worry about reinstalling every time a new version comes out since it's rolling release.

I use Fedora on my work laptop, Arch on my weeabmachine, Debian on my home server and CentOS on my work servers.
Fedora is great because it's quite stable, has great support and I don't need any other repos for my work.
Arch is great because muh cutting edge and the AUR is extremely useful when experimenting with new stuff. Also arch breaking after every update is a shitty meme that needs to die.
Debian is the stablest and I don't need anything more than the base net install with nginx+openssh for my home server. I could also use arch for maximum nobloat autism but I set it up in a hurry and it's been working fine since then.
CentOS is pretty much RHEL so I guess that's why my boss chose it for our servers. Since I'm already familiar with Fedora and had previous experience with RHEL it's a pleasure to work with. Finally, since I use Fedora for work I also can test our server software on and environment that uses newer binaries and fix potential issues months before these new versions hit our production.

If you install multiple desktop environments on your system, it can easily fuck your system up. I did with my first install and random things on the GUI end up missing or non-functional.

I personally use Antergos because having software be up to date all the time is nice, since I'm a software developer.

FreeCAD isn't quite enough for what I need unfortunately. VGA passthrough seems like a good option though, thanks for the suggestion.

If you go through with it, be careful as every guide is critically wrong. In particular, even though they focus on non-primary device passthrough, they all use x-vga=on, which does primary device passthrough. If you do x-vga=off, it will help. Also don't enable multifunction for the same reason.
