It was literal trash
>screen tearing
>uncomplete translations
>buggy

Since then i tried many distros and even gave ubuntu a second chance with it's mate flavour but it wasn't much better than the standard ubuntu

I sticked with solus
Never felt so satisfied

>>60551247
I actually went from Ubuntu to Kubuntu, not a huge step I know but that screen tearing is usually fixed with some xorg.conf.d/ modifications. At least for AMD drives.

If you create a 20-radeon.conf in that directory and make it read:

Section "Device"
    Identifier "Radeon"
    Driver "radeon"
    Option "TearFree" "on"
EndSection

It clears things up. It's retarded that we're in [CURRENT_YEAR] and it still hasn't been fixed out of the box but I guess Ubuntu expects people to use their OS on laptops where it seems to work fine because they got their integrated graphics shit worked out.

>>60551247

Now that I've installed Ubuntu and Chromium on my laptop, I think that it will become my basic shitpost/porn machine.

Just installed it alongside Win10 N LTSB. Need it for a small project. Need to repartition it

Might consider removing it after the project is done but Ubuntu removal might be a bit difficult

>>60551162
I haven't gone back to Ubuntu after that whole thing where they were sending your OS search bar text to Amazon. I know you can turn it off but I could not help but feel like they stepped over a line and I wasn't able to trust that they could ever go back considering the environment in which that was thought to be a good idea persists. I ended up going with Debian.

>>60551388

>>60551515
Vulkan doesn't use anything, ffs. It's an API, like OpenGL. You mean Windows implementation of Vulkan uses DX12, and it's smart thing to do, why reimplement the wheel when you can use existing code.

Gentoo is superior in every conceivable way

>>60551536
To quote one guy I know using both
>DX12 is worse than Vulkan, and should not exist
>>60551561
It calls for DX12 libs and uses them. It does in fact rely on a few DX12 assets so without DX12 you cannot have functional Vulkan without it being handicapped somehow

>>60551536
Vulkan works perfectly fine on Linux with Mesa/amdgpu

It feels so fucking flimsy.
Whenever I install anything from command line, it prompts me for a password that I can't enter until I hit enter, then when I do type the correct password it says that it's wrong but still downloads the programs anyway then it tells me that ubuntu has made an internal error.
The fucking passwords man.

>>60551162
I was actually having fun with my computer again, and learning new things all the time.

I want to go back to linux but i'm waiting for ubuntu without unity.

>>60551515
I can use Vulkan on Windows 7 though.

using debian atm and it's great, just wish I gave it more of a chance earlier on. If only I knew at the time how to get rid of the gnome desktop I think I would have stuck with it.

I started using PCs with Windows 98SE.
Few years later, really wanted something else so I tried Knoppix and Mandrake. Still used Windows. XP, then Debian, then 7, then Ubuntu, then 8.1, then jumped into the Arch bandwagon, tried like 30 fucking distros, Windows 10, etc.


And now I use macOS.

>>60551247

I was wondering how the fuck people use the thing when the installer takes several hours to get to the partition setup screen.

I skipped Ubuntu this unity shit looked too alien for me

I tried Ubuntu MATE a few days ago. It's nice, runs smoothly and boots faster than W10 when you fully shut it down.

However, I am in a bit of a dilemma because I still want to use some Windows applications without resorting to a VM. I do have a second hard drive lying around, and I already installed it on it but I guess I'll wait until I buy a caddy to shove it into my T530 so I make moving my personal shit from W10 to Ubuntu MATE a lot easier.

However, now I am in doubt, because of all this rage about which DE Is better and stuff, so tell me, should I stay with MATE, or use LXDE/LXQT or KDE?

Also tethering the unlimited social media (that I get from my carrier's plan) from my cellphone to the PC works wonders with Li-- I mean, GNU/Linux. So another point in favor of it.

>>60551162
Like I had made a huge mistake because it was the botnet version of Ubuntu and the amazon integration resulted in massive lag.

>>60551162

No thanks.

I hate canonical and I hate how it restricts access to root folders and such but something about the unity ubuntu aesthetic is just comfy to me.

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.

I'll give you that, they tried too hard to bloat up the "desktop" with "features," all the while completely disregarding core UNIX principles and creating unmanageable buggy shit. Ubuntu looks nice at first, but after a couple weeks the cracks really start to show.

>>60551162
It was fun messing with Ubuntu on my laptop for the first time.
Only switched to Xubuntu on my desktop recently when I found out that I could run windows in a VM with GPU passthrough with negligible performance hit on the CPU.
The horizontal screen tearing on xfce is annoying, figured out how to remedy it with nvidia by forcing full composition pipeline and installing compton, yet to figure out how to resolve certain thumbnails crashing.

Contempt for the time being with Xubuntu+i3wm, I might switch back to Ubuntu with Gnome 3.0 at some point once Wayland matures, or move to a rolling release distro like arch for the latest kernel updates if I get an AMD card in the near future.
Fedora sounds like a happy medium between both receiving recent updates with less upkeep and better stability. Compiling every single thing in gentoo sounds pedantic for a home desktop.
Too many choices it is daunting, I'll have to try some of them in a VM before making the switch.

>>60551162
I went back to fedora core 6

>>60551162
Inferior file explorer, back to windows immediately

Other than that it's been a great experience so far

Why is this always a fucking fall back here? If installing Arch prevents you from earning keep and living a life, you're either too committed to failure as a result of inferiority or parroting this fall back in the absence of personal experience.

>I like it

>Good thing I'm not a poorfag and can afford a workstation with plenty of resources.

It's nice if all you wanna do is light browsing with absolute standard out-of-the-box settings, but anything further than that just gives you headaches.

I'm back on W7, I'll try again next spring just like I did once a year for the past 8 years.

>>60561388
GNOME 3 is fucking shit senpai. Try Linux Mint or something KDE based.

>>60561388
I don't know dude, all of the supposed bugs you mentioned don't sound very relevant to me, but that's probably because I'm not the kind of guy that has chosen Linux to fully customize his computer. I'm using Linux just for working (I'm a teacher) and netsurfing in the safest environment.

>>60561473
the built in software install center not working right and an alternative not working at all is very relevant.

the rest are UI/usability tweaks, but mind you, this isn't "why doesn't x work, Windows has this" it's "why doesn't x work, this is a feature you are offering me to use out of the box"

Point is, Linux is an eternal Beta with options and configurations sprawling out of control. And when bugs and unwated behavior shows up the answer is never "let's fix it" it's always "use another DE"

>>60561569
fixing bugs is hard and boring
developing new bells and whistles is exciting
noone will remember Joe Nobody who fixed critical memory leak
all the glory goes to guy who made this feature and that feature

Once you give root a password on ubuntu it's like you're using Debian. Debian unstable has broken as fuck packages (I installed unetbootin last week on my VM and it didn't even show buttons on the window), Arch requires you to follow a simple yet time wasting 30 min video on youtube just to do a base install (meanwhile even Debian netinst has a simple GUI and auto partitioning), Arch based distros have the AUR but it's not like you won't be using git and building shit from source anyways with either ubuntu or any other distro. apt has problems with dependencies? run it with fix install.

Honestly I felt like God. It was like doing cocaine. Everything worked very well but I didn't understand package management.

Because chances are you grew up with Windows, therefore it will always feel "safe" and "simple", like your childhood (hopefully).

Tbqh in my experiences with Linux it has always been just as smooth and faster than Windows, but I still always come back.

I use GNU/Linux für servers though. Such as my ownCloud. Very stable operation
