A few days ago, I finally switched from Win 10 to Linux. Now, I see an open source world of customization, free of any bloatware or BSOD. And it feels great ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

The brotherhood of open source welcomes you to or circle! 🥋

you have been saved from hells.
GJ dude!

@hawkes I shall be worthy of my new responsabilities 🙏

Welcome to the good part of operating systems and desktop environments

Glad you could join us.

Did you try `sudo rm -rf /` yet?

Edit: pls don't try it out.

@b3b3 I see what you did there 😂

@Lahsen2016 That sounds like the next level of optimization

Welcome to the world of endless dependencies, and permissions configuration :D

Just wait until you update the kernel and Nvidia breaks 😎

You are a new man now. Oh holly Linux bless his soul. #linux>jezus 🙏 🐧

What distro? Any problems with setting up? What about wifi (if you have it at all)?

@sladuled Probably Manjaro xD

just dive in and get arch; its not that bad. after around 3 or 4 days, i had the installation memorized

@simo002m @sladuled Yup, it's Manjaro (Gnome version). Everything worked out of the box for me (including Wifi). I've been using it for a few days without any problem.

@ParkCity That's what I'm planning to do afterwards (and part of why I chose Manjaro), but since I'm kind of a newbie, I wanted to start with something a bit more user friendly 😂

@Nanos Actually, I'm still dual-booting with Windows (mostly to play games, I admit^^), so if I miss anything on Linux I should be fine. But Windows does have the advantage to be the most widely supported platform.

@simo002m did you just assume his distro?! 😂😇👍 or I missed something..? 🤔

@sladuled Well, I just put the Manjaro logo in the picture ^^

@PurplePachyderm o fuck.. yup, I'm blind!! 😂😂 Thanks for the hint. I thought it was the default green bookr or sth...

@Nanos That story would deserve a rant by itself :p. Windows updates are definitely great...

@Condor I can approve of that

@PurplePachyderm @sladuled Well sorry then xD

@Nanos How about getting an iPhone otherwise? (just kidding, Android is great imho)

@Nanos I've never heard of such a thing, but it might be worth doing your research 😅

@Nanos I was just being ironic about the iPhone , I didn't even know there was an Android phone with a keyboard^^.

Bad thing about Arch is... When you're stuck without wifi and you have to mount your phone manually without ever having done it... I miss you LM *cry*

Or when you casually fuck up and bring the whole system down... Reinstalling is always fun *sigh*

@nanoandrew4 I've removed my sudoers file and I didn't even have to reinstall. Just pop a recovery drive in and you're set.

@Dacexi I changed the permissions recursively on my /usr to my user and no programs worked... Had to reinstall, always beware recursive changes...

EDIT: Also lest we forget not installing 'dialog' package on install... Had to go back in so many times with live USB to mount and chroot to install...

@PurplePachyderm since u r new to the other side of operatIng systems and in search of something more user-friendly. Download and install Linux Mint. It looks like windows os, but well... it isn't ;)

@smallTalker Manjaro is a rolling release distro, so repositories are updated quite often. However, they always have 1 or 2 weeks of delay on Arch repos.

Got kernel panic?

@FinlayDaG33k Didn't encounter one yet, but it's probably gonna happen at some point 😁
