If you would like to try out GNU/Linux you can do one of the following: 0) Install a GNU/Linux distribution of your choice in a Virtual Machine. 1) Use a live image and to boot directly into the GNU/Linux distribution without installing anything. 2) Dual boot the GNU/Linux distribution of your choice along with Windows or macOS. 3) Go balls deep and replace everything with GNU/Linux.

If I wanted to create my own distro, what things should I know? What distro would you guys use as base? What features would you like to see?
i've done that before too, could follow the walkthrough and have in the past, but just wanted arch on my machine now and that was faster than typing out the stuff. have since wiped it off and distrojumped

I'm trying to install debian on btrfs but it keeps thinking they're ext4 when I get back into the partition manager.
does anybody know where the base install goes so I can just skip that part of the installation menu? I'm assuming it's somewhere in /mnt or similar.

Alright so I'm debating should I keep Windows 10 or switch over to Manjaro KDE because I'm installing a new SSD tomorrow
To put it short I basically fucked up my 1tb hard drive with a little neodymium magnet on my laptop and now I had to buy a 120 gig SSD and so I can refine a better replacement for it. I've been using Windows 10 for a while and hasn't been getting any problem than the annoying updates
Yes I am a gaymer but only use it for the occasional csgo or msgv. I'm wondering if I will have really bad performance hits on my system, I'm currently running a ryzen mobile with Vega graphics. So far everything's been running smooth especially csgo what it's 120 frames on 1080p medium. Or I lose a lot of frames, is it something to be worried about?
