should I upgrade to windows 7 now or is it finally time to install gentoo? my mom has windows 7 on her laptop and I don't like most of the "improved" features it has. I don't know how much of my non-free-as-in-freedom software would work with ganoo/loonix though.

when my grafix card died a couple months ago and I had to borrow my mom's laptop while my replacement was in the mail I thought windows 7 was really akward to use. the interface wasn't as simple and easy to navigate and it was harder to do even simple things like set up a lan.

Don't do it. No one really uses Linux. /g/ doesn't even use it besides all the shit they say. It's one of those things where people were joking, but some idiots took it seriously and then it spun out of control.

Fedora is too unstable and its repos are too limited. Fedora is best if you want to do client side development. Other than that I don't recommend it.

There's only 4 worthwhile distros for general computing.

Debian if you want stability
Arch if you want unstable
OpenSUSE if you want a mix between stable and unstable
Ubuntu if you want a mix between stable and unstable

Stability and repos are the only issue. That's what makes a distro.
>>12027309
I don't know. I don't use desktop environments. It depends entirely on what file manager you use on how you navigate folders. And there's a lot of options. But probably OpenSUSE with KDE since KDE has the best filemanager called Dolphin.

HAH, that's now how you spell virtual machine.

Also the point is to have a faster OS, that doesn't spend resources like a nigger spends money on crack. And to not have it spy on you, or bar you doors, it's also heavily customisable: If there's a feature you want, you can make it yourself. Also the comunity is good, if there's a feature you want, somebody probably already made it for you.
And it's free of digital handcuffs and other abritrary bullshit the OS wants to impose on you.

The only reason not to use Linux would be because you're too dumb to use it.
