I'm hearing Linux is going to be forced to go to Rust
4e9bfc9e No.3770044
>>3770042Not "forced". Linux devs aren't a monolithic entity like Microsoft or Apple, they all have their opinions on the way things get done. It shows in the variety of distros.
As an aside, I want to try NixOS for a while.
4e9bfc9e No.3770057
>>3770053You may not enjoy NixOS if you are a newbie. Prepare to scour the manuals. If you want things to just work™ then use Linux Mint.
You can install Mint alongside Windows with dual booting. Steam, WINE, Firefox, Libreoffice, and Krita is a good start.
Do your research and back up your files before installing!

>>3770053For a no bullshit OS that usually just works for most things I would go with Linux Mint.
You can find other specialized versions for high end gaming machines, hacking boxes, servers, web hosting, or A.I. but if you just want a computer that you can use for your daily life like windows 10, I would go with Linux Mint. It's designed for ease of use and it has a very positive community.

>>3770057Plans ~
0. I have a screen monitor, motherboard, and a graphics card I just need to back up some files in 3 different hardrives to be safe.
1. Have all my files backup in another offline operating system on a laptop
2. Buy a brand new robust hardrive for the desktop that is compatable with Lunix Mint. for Steam games and Firestorm Second life for it to install.
3. have someone who could help not to screw up or missing anything important.
looks good on paper.

>>3770061The goal of the Linux Mint project is to be an easy to install, easy to use, stable desktop environment for people to switch to from Windows or MAC. You can make it work pretty much like either of those OS if you choose.
The updates for it are well tested and verified stable before they are released through the update manager so they won't have the bleeding edge new hardware support that comes with less stable OS but it also is unlikely to just crash and lose all your data.
You can, of course, install untested drivers for brand new hardware if you want. It won't stop you, but the official updates are designed to be stable and reliable more than having flashy, niche, features.
If you just want a desktop that works, Mint is the way to go. If you want a linux based gaming machine, I would go with PopOS that has a mode which makes your computer run like a X-Box menu system. It's pretty nifty.

>>3770044>As an aside, I want to try NixOS for a while.Well worth the investment. If you keep it simple, like one configuration file in /etc/nixos, it's not that complicated, probably way easier than other Linux in fact since everything is in one file.
I love being able to get all my HOME stuff in home-manager too, and get the same environment and softwares on say my desktop or laptop.

>>3770116Most people aren't interested in turning their operating system into a part time job. Having to write your own config file for everything is a lot of work for a very minimal return on the time investment.
If you want to make that your hobby, go for it, but most people have other stuff to do like fuck your sister now that your Mom retired from the family business.

Even if linux was as difficult as the glowie suggests (it's not), sacrificing freedom and privacy for convenience is still foolish.

>>3770182No one is saying you shouldn't use Linux. Just use a GOOD version of Linux. NixOS is not that.

>>3772111Steam runs natively as a software package for Linux. It doesn't magically run Windows games, so for everything else Windows related, check out the Wine project. It has come a long way. I have never set up Wine for Second Life, though. Can't help you there. Do some searches.
That screenshot features the KDE Plasma desktop. It packs a lot of function, along with some eye candy UI design.
Get Linux Mint. Others have given reasons why, so I won't rehash. The default desktop for Mint is Cinnamon (last I saw, solid choice), but they have KDE editions. This is Fedora, which is the community edition of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). I'm getting familiar so I can get certified.
I'm old enough to remember it was called "K Desktop Environment". I initially got exposed to it by exploring Slackware as a middle schooler. I'd quietly print how-tos and manuals in the computer lab. The admins never got me in trouble for using the printer without permission.

>>3772113> Steam runs natively as a software package for Linux. It doesn't magically run Windows games, so for everything else Windows related, check out the Wine project.There is a widespread misconception about what Wine is, however. It never was and never will be a full replacement for the current winblows OS. From the beginning, it's goal has always been to provide a stable subset of Windows features. The purpose is so developers of new software can make their software compatible with Wine, if they choose.
Remember, new software is rarely made only for the latest and greatest winOS, except for microsquat software. Instead developers choose which older versions of the OS, along with the newest, they are aiming their software for. Wine provides an additional platform they can include, if they want.
