Yeeaah.
I got bored so I decided why not make a thread to talk about Ubuntu, Peppermint, Linux Mint, and others?
You can help eachother out here, talk about your first experience with a new type of Linux, share computer jokes, share your opinions, and some cool features you found out!
--Party--

My favorite type of Linux is LinuxMint.
It's well organized and kind of reminds me of Windows, but in a different form.
That's until...
I moved to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
At first I was like "What the f**k is this sh*t. This is madness..." when I used the basic Unity desktop session for my computer.
Handy dandy people helped me find out how to get a gnome desktop.
This story goes on forever so ye

Talk about Linux! \o/

windows xp/7 for life

On my laptop I use Ubuntu 14.04 LTS with Gnome 2 desktop and most of my servers also run Ubuntu.

If you plan on switching from a proprietary operating system: Linux Mint is similar to Microsoft Windows and Elementary OS is similar to Mac OS. Both are based on Ubuntu.

good point

but windows is much cheaper, plus isn't linux pricey?

im also just used to the layout, mac is confusing enough for me

Linux is free, pal. And Mac is essentially a UNIX system, so it won't be uch more different. Elementary looks and feels like OSX, as Makinit said.

If I were to get Linux I would install a Debian-based OS. B-)
Honestly I'm not into Unix-like OSs as I've been using Windows for quite a lot of time (~10 years).

Linux is free.
You don't 'BUY' a Operating System... You download it and use a boot loader...
And this is a Linux topic, who said anything about Windows?
#Linux4life baby! <3

I agree. I've used Elementary before and I felt like I was using a Mac the whole time. Sadly I don't like Mac for several reasons.
But anyways.
Wanna have fun on a random shooting game called Nexuis 2.5.2?
Open the terminal (ctrl + alt + t) and type;
pawgold@pawgold:~$ sudo apt-get install nexuiz
And it will install the game. ouo
I forgot what it says in the terminal but it's been a long time that I reinstalled the game.
My username is Pawgold on there (as always)

well, i just got into Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Its really great, im still learning about the command line but so far so good, THe only problem im facing is about installing programs using the APT-GET :P
(Can't really instal a LAMP envirement in my pc even after installling each piece individually, some stuff doesnt work :()

What problems?

well; To install lamp, i had to install each peice individually (Apache webserver php, mysql extensions, phpmyadmin..) and evrytime i tried install with apt-get or dpkg, i would get some dependancies problems due to the names of the files i tried install being outdated and cannot be found
evryting is working fine, just needed a newer install tutorial
Thanks for the concern

Android is linux based operating system

I used Ubuntu 16.04

nice, ubuntu is very good for beginner, but there are far better distros once you get a grasp of the linux environment and the BASH command line syntax.

I like the UI better then the other Linux environments plus i used Ubuntu for vs purposes for my discord bot and have been familiar with it for years.

Ubuntu is very good

I have Ubuntu 18 on my laptop and I'm thinking about installing Linux Mint on my old desktop.
