>I'm new to Linux and want to try it out on my PC. How do I go about installing and which is the best to install, assuming there is a best?

You can download a live version that you can boot from a DVD or USB stick to try it out first. You can also get a Virtual Machine program like VirtualBox and installing it in a virtual machine. This allows you to start it up like a program on your current machine. This can allow you test stuff out before trying to install to current machine, which, if I'm not mistaken, requires re-partitioning the hard drive if you want keep your old OS.

Xubuntu or Ubuntu MATE are good for beginners. Very easy to install with desktops that are easy to use and very fast. Ubuntu is shit though and you should only use it as training wheels. Eventually you should learn to use Debian or Fedora for superior stability and comfyness.

you go to ubuntu.com
download a live distribution, put it on a USB or CD or whatever
boot on it and select "try"
Once on the desktop, you open "gparted" you format your drive and create an ext4 partition on /
open a terminal and type :

sudo mkdir /mnt/drive 
sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/drive
cd /mnt/drive
wget "http://download.sourcemage.org/image/official/smgl-stable-0.61-basesystem-x86_64.tar.bz2"
tar xvjf /root/smgl-stable-0.61-basesystem-x86_64.tar.bz2
mount --bind /dev /mnt/drive/dev
mount --bind /sys /mnt/drive/sys
mount -t proc none /mnt/drive/proc
mount -t devpts none /mnt/drive/dev/pts
chroot /mnt/drive
passwd root
echo "faggot" > /etc/hostname
echo "faggot" > /etc/defaultdomain

Modify the fstab

nano /etc/fstab

edit your lilo.conf

nano /etc/fstab

lilo -A /dev/sda 1
lilo
ln -sf /usr/share/Europe/city /etc/localtime
cast -r locale
exit
reboot

Are you so fucking special that you can't ask your inane questions in /fglt/?

Just get ubuntu and install it. Easiest distro with the least amount of tweaking required to be fully operational.

>>61518704
stop shilling your bullshit distribution for virgin larpers

F**kwit

Use Ubuntu with obsolete DE and then switch to less polish distros? There is something wrong with you, sir
