The Friendly Linux Thread (/g/flt/) is a regular general thread on 4chan's /g/ board. It is designed to aid in people wanting advice for the GNU/Linux system, as well as help complete newfags switch to/use the GNU/Linux system. Usually when no one contributes, it becomes a place to just goof off and shitpost, resulting in "MicroMemes" such as Jimmy Savile smoking a cigar, and overuse of the /pol/ term "cuck".

OP Post
Intended for users of all levels, including absolute beginners. There are three ways to try Linux, you can: 1) Install a Linux OS on a VM (Virtual Machine/VirtualBox) for "safety purposes" 2) Use the Live ISO directly without installing anything, that way, you can get a full Linux experience.' 3) Go balls deep and overwrite everything with GNU/Linux If you are serious about switching to Linux and if you have Windows dual-booted (recommended for pure newbies), we recommend you use it exclusively for 2 weeks, and avoid Windows dual booting for that period of time, or it's likely you will start retreating back to windows instead of getting used to Linux as your new home and working on making it feel the way you want it. >Recommended for beginners: -*buntus except vanilla Ubuntu (Unity) -openSUSE -LinuxMint (a.k.a Ubuntu LTS + Cinnamon) Before asking, please find the answers to your questions in resources. Please be civil, notice the "Friendly" in every Friendly Linux Thread. Understand that much of your software from Windows will be unavailable, although maybe wine can make up for it.
