I just got this shit. What Linux distro should I install?

>>60358100
macOS

>>60358100
ReactOS

>>60358100
What kind of stuff do you do on your computer? There's a lot to take in consideration.

xubuntu lubuntu or kubuntu.

If you are daring, legitimately install gentoo and compile the kernel yourself. You'll learn a lot real fast :^)

>>60358100
If new, use Ubuntu with Mate DE or mint with Cinnamon DE.

>>60358100
Debian because it just works

Gentoo

>>60358100
literally anyone

Kill yourself for being moronic enough to connect to an infected network.

INSTALL GENTOO

>>60358512
No offense to OP, but if he was running un-updated windows gentoo might be a little too much.

Gentoo, obviously

>>60358100
How?

Does anyone know if someone with dual boot gets infected? What happened with the linux partition?

>>60359179
not sure about win 10 but win 7 can't even detect ext4 partition

>>60358100
Install OpenSUSE

ubuntu with fluxbox is nice but it really doesnt matter all linux distros are basically the same

>>60359179
Depending on how it works it could fuck up your linux install, if it encrypts the entire drive or partition table

>>60358100
TempleOS

>>60358440
you're on the infected network now genius

>>60358100
Why even ask the? only distros worth installing are the ones you already know about.
Ubuntu or Fedora are the only correct choices everything else is a waste of time
because it doesn't matter, they all have the same packages, the only difference is how
much the upstream maintainer does for you.

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.

99% of ransomware only encrypts non-essential windows files.
so windows partitions, nothing else, doesn't touch partition table

damn shame the reason it just works is because it always uses slightly older but proven software for its stable release.

I have a 4 year old laptop with 4GB RAM and 500 GB of which 330 GB is free.
How much memory should I partition for Ubuntu? I don't use any windows exclusive software.

I have a Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 at home, but no Windows Update capability :(.

What should I do to get infected? I wanna see what's up, I don't have any important files.

>>60358100
Templeos

Also
>getting hit by attacks not directly targeted at you and only you.
Why

macOS got some ransomware too. Transmission had 2 incidents.

But it sure as hell is safer than any windows version ever manufactured.

>>60361269
You can avoid it by having your pc updated. Like literally, the update to patch this was released 2 months ago, not 2 days ago
The update was released via the Cumulative Updates for each month, if you have so much tinfoil in your PC you should at least install this
http://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=KB4012598
You can even update WinXP with that.

What's the attack vector for this bullshit? Are people just opening email attachments like usual or is it more sinister?

>it must be windows fault

you're retarded

>WanaCrypt0r exploded and began spreading like wild fire through an exploit called ETERNALBLUE, which is an alleged NSA exploit
Hahahaha NOTHING TO HIDE RITE? Let's give NSA master backdoors to our systems, nothing could ever go wrong.

>>60370593
yes
and if there is computer infected in your LAN it will spread to anyone inside your LAN.

>>60358337
This. Both work great and are quite easy for windows users to adapt to. Use home folder encryption.

>>60365634
Eh.. 100GB-150GB should be fine. You'll get used to Linux eventually.

If you have to ask, keep using Windows you filthy casual.

Install Manjaro, guys. It's very bleeding edge, uses Arch infrastructure and has a thriving community. And you don't have to waste 2 weekends installing it.

Solus OS
