Lol my printer worked out of the box after installing Solus. Solus is hands down the best distro since a very long time.

>>62229627
shill calm down, no one need your terminal os

Had the same experience with arch a few years ago.

Followed the wiki to the letter and i ended up with a fully working system with no lag, and after only 3 hours of my time, i wasn't even interested in tech at the time i only installed arch because my computer was slow as shit.

I know everybody says get mint if you're new to linux. Does that require use of the terminal to do shit too or no? I want to eventually be like you /g/uys :*

>>62229627
That's because you used a non-meme OS

>>62229697
this

>>62229627
Make sure you don't install anything else and keep everything as is and you might manage to keep the illusion up indefinitely.

>>62229627
>telling me that linux with destroy my computer
Who the hell has been telling you this?

>>62229915
You can use the terminal in every gnu/linux distro.
Mint is good for starters, use whatever you like.

>>62229915
As far as I know, you install via a GUI just like with Windows

>>62229915
For mint? Nah. You don't even have to touch it if you don't want to.

But the command-line is super useful in *nix in general, part of the reason why so many people use it and love it.

>>62229956
This. You should forget the memes and install gentoo

>>62229915
why would you not want to use the terminal
not for everything obviously, but why not use it for the occasions it's better than GUI?

>>62229650
Thanks to Apple's CUPS, printers work perfectly fine on Linux.

>>62229999
nice numbers :^)

The /g/entoo gods have blessed this post.

There are many distros like ubuntu, mint, fedora, korora, and opensuse where everything can be done via GUI and without touching any form of CLI. However unlike in windows, the CLI in GNU/Linux is actually very powerful and really worth using. So while it may not be required, people tend to gravitate towards it. At least for certain tasks.

It literally says power on the powershell

linux when it works is far better than winblows
you got lucky though
when you get an error, you'll eventually see

Which is why I posted that comment, genius. He listed the one thing almost guaranteed to function as the ultimate proof that is all ``JUST WERKZ®™''

Congratulations, unfortunately for many people it is far from the "just werks" of Windows or macOS

>>62229857
>and after only 3 hours of my time
And Windows takes less than an hour.

How amazing.

This was about a month ago by the way, still chugging with zero issues.

>>62229627
Ubuntu?

>>62229697
I game on Linux just fine.
People stay on windows because they're afraid of change. Which is why even lots of people who pirate windows, or who could have switched to w10 when it was free chose not to use w10.
