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.

>>59673443
I'll be as honest as I can.

I run Arch Linux as my sole operating system on my desktop computer. The machine itself is nothing special, just a $400 tower from Best Buy with a cheapo AMD APU. So no matter what operating system I run on it, I'm not going to be getting amazing performance on the newest games. In fact I can't even watch 60fps videos on youtube with some stuttering.

Now having said that, the machine as a whole with Arch Linux is very nice. I installed it following the official wiki installation guide. I use GNOME 3 as my primary DE, which is stable as hell and just works. I use i3 for programming and development (no gaps or anime ricing, just a professional and efficient work environment)

I should note that this computer used to have Windows on it (came with 8.1 and I later did a clean install of Windows 10). Which Arch, I can honestly say that it is much faster. Boot up time is amazing, along with program launch time. I can turn it on, log in, and be using Chrome or Firefox in less than a minute.

Now compare that to Windows, where I had to wait several minutes for it to boot up and log me in, and even after I logged in I still had to wait several more minutes because Windows had to load God-knows-what services and start them up, which slowed the computer down and made the first few minutes impossible to actually use the computer.

I have a 1920x1080 monitor. Arch handles the resolution and text rendering quite nicely. Overall it's a very comfy machine to do work, browse the internet, download/watch videos, listen to music, etc.. I run the system-upgrade almost every day, and I make sure to check archlinux.org every single day to make sure the update won't mess anything up. I have never had an update break my system, and I have never had Arch break at all.

My only qualms are that I have to use Wine to play a few Windows-only games, which usually requires some dicking around and more often than not results in a half-working game.

>>59673458

>>59673897
Meh, I'm happier with my PS3 since I'm a pretty niche gamer anyways, so the games I like (most of the Atelier series for example) aren't even available on PC.

>>59673669
Are those ntfs volumes actually Windows partitions? If that's the case you need to boot into Windows, go into the settings, and turn off "fast startup" and shut it down all the way. Then you should be able to mount them under a Linux distro. The reason for this is that, when you shutdown Windows, it puts the system into a false state of being shutdown, more like hibernation than anything. It improves the startup time but makes it impossible to mount under Linux.

>>59673955
That's cool. I want to get a PS4 to play some weeb games I've missed over the years. I just have this shitty PC, a softmodded Wii and a PS2 right now. I may check out the Atelier games that are on PS2 though.

Yeah, it's perfect.

mpd + ncmpcpp is perfect for managing my music collection as it just indexes the folder structure and doesn't try to manage it for you like ones on windows e.g. move file player shits itself until you put it back

mpv is perfect player for watching anime and is far easier to setup than media player classic and all the other filters and stuff you had to do on windows.

Also window managers are great, once you get your setup just right with all your hotkeys and rules, nothing else ever feels right.

I literally only want to use a web browser, watch videos, listen to music, torrent and other very basic things. I'd like to switch over fully but I just can't justify wasting free time I could spend doing the things I want to do with no problems on Windows dicking around with GNU/Linux. Even as a bit of a tech-illiterate I don't see a real problem with using the command line, googling fixes, etc, it's just that the time investment just to get something even close to my non-updated 2 year old pirated Windows 7 install is too high for something that supposedly "just werks".

Should I just install Arch? I see some others in this thread saying they use their machines for the same kinds of purposes.

If I have a gig where I'm on site somewhere I have a couple old laptops with older windows installed. If anything fucks up at least it's not my fault whereas if linux fucked up it would be. Funny how that is.

The problems I run into with linux on the average are less severe than the windows problems. In linux the app might freeze or stop responding but it's easy to kill and a restore is usually available. Windows problems are hell where the entire os will freeze with no recovery and then a delayed start up due to a forced shut down.

No, Richard, it's 'Linux', not 'GNU/Linux'. The most important contributions that the FSF made to Linux were the creation of the GPL and the GCC compiler. Those are fine and inspired products. GCC is a monumental achievement and has earned you, RMS, and the Free Software Foundation countless kudos and much appreciation.

Following are some reasons for you to mull over, including some already answered in your FAQ.

One guy, Linus Torvalds, used GCC to make his operating system (yes, Linux is an OS -- more on this later). He named it 'Linux' with a little help from his friends. Why doesn't he call it GNU/Linux? Because he wrote it, with more help from his friends, not you. You named your stuff, I named my stuff -- including the software I wrote using GCC -- and Linus named his stuff. The proper name is Linux because Linus Torvalds says so. Linus has spoken. Accept his authority. To do otherwise is to become a nag. You don't want to be known as a nag, do you?

(An operating system) != (a distribution). Linux is an operating system. By my definition, an operating system is that software which provides and limits access to hardware resources on a computer. That definition applies whereever you see Linux in use. However, Linux is usually distributed with a collection of utilities and applications to make it easily configurable as a desktop system, a server, a development box, or a graphics workstation, or whatever the user needs. In such a configuration, we have a Linux (based) distribution. Therein lies your strongest argument for the unwieldy title 'GNU/Linux' (when said bundled software is largely from the FSF). Go bug the distribution makers on that one. Take your beef to Red Hat, Mandrake, and Slackware. At least there you have an argument. Linux alone is an operating system that can be used in various applications without any GNU software whatsoever. Embedded applications come to mind as an obvious example.

>>59676395
Many users (like you) do not understand the difference between the kernel, which is Linux, and the whole system, which they also call "Linux". The ambiguous use of the name doesn't help people understand. These users often think that Linus Torvalds developed the whole operating system in 1991, with a bit of help.

What they found was no accident-it was the not-quite-complete GNU system. The available free software added up to a complete system because the GNU Project had been working since 1984 to make one. In the The GNU Manifesto we set forth the goal of developing a free Unix-like system, called GNU. The Initial Announcement of the GNU Project also outlines some of the original plans for the GNU system. By the time Linux was started, GNU was almost finished.

Most free software projects have the goal of developing a particular program for a particular job. For example, Linus Torvalds set out to write a Unix-like kernel (Linux); Donald Knuth set out to write a text formatter (TeX); Bob Scheifler set out to develop a window system (the X Window System). It's natural to measure the contribution of this kind of project by specific programs that came from the project.

If we tried to measure the GNU Project's contribution in this way, what would we conclude? One CD-ROM vendor found that in their Linux distribution, GNU software was the largest single contingent, around 28% of the total source code, and this included some of the essential major components without which there could be no system. Linux itself was about 3%. (The proportions in 2008 are similar: in the "main" repository of gNewSense, Linux is 1.5% and GNU packages are 15%.) So if you were going to pick a name for the system based on who wrote the programs in the system, the most appropriate single choice would be "GNU".

KDE plasma 5 is starting to show a ton of bugs inbetween everything. Most note worth is once I've connected to my smb shares, if I leave my network it won't dismount and the whole taskbar will sometimes lock up until I do a reboot.

Plugging in my note 5 or even a regular flash drive locks up the taskbar... sometimes. I've found the culprit to be kde's device manager. If I plug in the drive with dolphin open I can use everything fine, but when I hover over device manager, the shit locks up. I haven't found the time to figure how to completely disable it.

I've written a log of configs I've done so after my exam are done I'm just going to do a fresh install instead of trying to fix everything. This time trying out XFCE.

That being said, if I don't mount my network drives and don't plug in usb drives, it's been stable as fuck and a damn good experience.

windows and linux suck pretty bad at HiDPI

It's awful. That's why I use Linux on it. Shitty netbook sucked ass with Windows but it runs totally usably now.

>>59673443
it's better than modern windows on my crap Satellite L300
I use it mainly for shitposting. And the occasional chink cartons when I'm on the go.
It's sufficient.

>>59680012
Oh hey, a fellow POS satellite owner. I have an L755. What are the specs on your L300?

>>59679177
actually very much this
we as /g/ can collecively shit on macOS all day everyday, but it's the only destop OS that works well with hi-dpi desu

>>59680077
*it's the only desktop OS that works well
ftfy

>>59680064
>L755
duuuude, compared to my shitbox that L755 of yours is a fucking beast
My L300 has a C2D T2390, 2GB of DDR2-533 ram and worst of all a GMA X3100 graphics chip.
There's literally no Windows that is light enough on the GPU to achieve acceptable shitposting experience. Actually that's how I got into Linux, trying to make crap work like it should.
Granted, I have a decent PC at home, but when I'm away this POS of a laptop is all I got.

When will gaps be in official i3?

>>59680302
Probably never. i3 gaps is just a fork of i3 patched with the ability to use gaps. It should essentially be considered official, as they are otherwise completely identical, and the person who forked i3-gaps is a maintainer for i3wm...

Ubuntu LTS is the only OS on my primary computer. Works great, does everything I want, and is far more flexible and stable than Windows (which is, unfortunately, what I use at work).

Specs:
Core i5-4590S
AsRock MATX
16GB RAM
Samsung EVO 850 250GB primary
NVIDIA GTX 570
Dell WFP3007-HC
Focusrite Scarlett 18i8
CM Storm Quickfire Rapid Blue
Logitech G9x

>>59681481
Oh also, here are a few of the things I use it for:
Casual Perl, Python, and R programming.
Listening to music
Light video editing
Gaming (mainly Heroes of Newerth, but I do play plenty of others from time to time and I don't feel particularly limited in my gaming).
MIDI synthesis and sampling with Amsynth and Linuxsampler.
Scanning documents (on the pictured fujitsu scansnap)

Most likely rarely uses the terminal now that they have a WM, or have multiple terminals set up, one for screenshots, one for actual use.

macfont makes windows bearable, but it's still additional software that also increases boot times.

does everything I need it to do. I use linux nearly exclusively (macOS for work, although it's just an ssh machine to get into linux servers, windows for games, but that's ALL that machine does)

arch linux is where I feel most comfortable, the OS doesn't hold me back like literally every other OS I've used

Fine. Old ass Dell Latitude but still works. I love its keyboard.

Use it for programming. As long as I do not have more than 5 tabs open I am aight.

How much difference would going from 1 gig of RAM to 2?

I have several.
There is a large range in speed, but they are all adequate.

doubt it.
gamers these days don't like to install a ton of applications to get one game to work and the derivatives (hon and dota2) are better.

for a shitbox that barely booted vista its ok.

firefox, as an aside, tends to have random cpu spikes with javascript enabled, leaving it unresponsive.
if i want to have more than a few tabs open i have to use palemeem

>>59674786
That's because arch can run on sub 1GB ram and practically any cpu.

>>59674990
Just because you use a WM over DE, doesn't mean you constantly need to update. I update as often or as little as I want, generally as often as most people that use DE's.
