advice me on the easyest distro to use for a retard
i want to install it on a laptop , do i need to check compatibility or some shit liek drivers ?
>>61924087
ubuntu, check out their site for OS requirements
If you go with Ubuntu, it should support all of the devices straight out of the box. The exception might be your WiFi. Cross your fingers about that one.
install gentoo
install gentoo
Debian or Fedora.
Everything else is a meme for beginners or bloated as fuck (canonical spyware).
>>61924087
check out gentoo, and install it
WELL IMAGINE MY SHARK
WHEN ANON RECCUHMENDED "GEN-TWO"

For most people, Ubuntu is the standard. If you want a more complete experience right out of the gate, I recommend Linux Mint MATE edition. If it's a weaker system with 2GB of memory or less, Linux Mint XFCE will be blazing fast. Get a couple of thumb drives and try both live. Remember, they always run a little slower from USB. You won't get full speed until you do a full install. AND BACKUP YOUR SHIT!
wtf i just checked gentoo , looks like too hard for me , MINT on the other hand looks comfy

It IS comfy. It's not to say you'll never have any issues. No OS works 100% perfect all the time, but don't let that scare you. Most fixes for common issues are a google away.

gentoo is meme os, it's the hardest one to learn good luck
>>61924087
Thirding Linux Mint, comfy as fuck.
Or Slackware if you want to learn something.

Forget about Linux, just do a fresh Windows 7 install and follow this guide:
Doesn't exist.
git gud or go windows

This is a losing battle, as soon as you grow up you realize it's retarded.
>>61924158
This. Don't see why everyone here is recommending Ubuntu (Windows 2.0).
>>61924158
What about KDE neon?
>>61925956
Debian and Fedora are great for people who aren't afraid to mess with the system, but don't want to get bogged down in gentoo/archlinux autism. They aren't great for the "I plugged my printer in and it doesn't work." crowd. I do love Debian as server distro though.

In case you didn't notice, OP said he doesn't know shit about Linux. There's nothing wrong with easing someone into it with either Ubuntu or Mint. We all went through this shit the first time we used Windows.
>>61924087
MacOS
>>61924087
Linux Lite, literally tells you "do this first" and other hand holding shit
Arch is pretty great for beginners
>>61924087
Crux, Funtoo or LFS.
>>61927294
Burn in hell
>>61927323
kys nigger
Mint or Ubuntu
>>61927261

Debian or Fedora for GNOME
OpenSUSE for KDE
