Just installed Ubuntu for the first time. I've used Windows and macOS in the past. What should I know?
Also, OS general thread.

That you picked the shittiest buntu flavor.
Blake Howard
You'll probably be back to Windows in a week.
Dominic Gomez
Figured that, I was looking at this or mint since they both seem popular, so can't be that difficult to jump off from.

Does anyone else regularly change OS on their computer? For some reason I often just install new ones compulsively. I dont know why. I guess I just like that "fresh start" feeling and seeing something new
William Diaz
I do something similar. I'll just reformat my disk and reinstall Windows every couple of months. I wanted to see something new this time.
Easton Perry
i get weirdly annoyed with tons of different files and them being unorganized. like i just want a new system without any bullshit
Jack Hall
Distro hoping
I've done that for a long time, but finally I have found the one I like, and I'm still on it.
Easton Hughes
Exactly. Unfortunately, I'm not aware of a file system that doesn't get all cluttered with random bullshit from normal use. It takes like 15 minutes to fully remove any program these days, I'd rather just wipe the whole fuckin thing.

Check out each Ubuntu flavor, do a bit of research, and find out what you seem attracted to. Most linux starters I knew fell into a distro hopping pitfall before they told me they actually looked up info.
Benjamin Brooks
Kubuntu, Xubuntu, or Lubuntu are actually good. Ubuntu is shit because Gnome is shit.
Hunter Baker
really depends on your machine
XFCE (Xubuntu) will be the smoothest on some machines. on others you will experience a lot of screen tearing on it and KDE (Kubuntu) will work better
Mason Cox
LTSC is the best

Not my first time installing, but I just installed it on an old Dell Studio XPS from the mid-late 2000s to use for shitposting.

Try to learn to use the terminal instead of the gui
Robert Thompson
Install Virtualbox and Win7 on VM with guest additions, enable seamless mode and start being productive with usable software.
Grayson Brooks
Do people unironically listen to tool?
Noah Nelson
>usable software
Like what?
Photoshop, visual studio?
They run like shit on a VM

unironically, this has everything you need to know to feel comfortable enough to stay on linux for life:
edx.org

source for the icons please?
Joshua Wood
>What should I know?
dont use GUI
GUI is bad...
sudo apt-get update && upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y
sudo apt search linux-headers-$(uname -r)

>week
you mean day
Caleb Rivera
For me it's XFCE. Simple, powerful, and customizable while being light on resources.

Learn Vim. It's a necessity if you don't plan on reinstalling the OS every time something breaks and you're forced to modify text files without a GUI.

Shilling for windows is like shilling for cocacola
