why're you formatting an encrypted drive?

~~is the fbi catching on~~

I would have kept it encrypted, but I need a second operating system on it

I was using Ubuntu, now I'm going to dual boot windows

because I have to use visual studio for a class this semester

Was running it in a VM but honestly this laptop is a piece of shit

ill test linux if i can manage to get my hands on a shitbox

lmao just get a new laptop 4head

I can't afford one

yikes

@PunishedMuskovy Just use a live CD session and don't install it

*DVD

it'll be a little slow because it's running off the disc

but not too noticable

or usb

Might not be noticable at all

I do have a shitbox but i dont know if it works

Depends on your system

or if the motherboard is fucked

You can run a live session without installing it

If you don't like the UI, try a different distribution

There is some annoying mouse lag in ubuntu gnome desktop, though. It's just barely noticeable, but it's there

Most people won't notice, I think

I've heard other people complain about it being a problem with gnome in general, I've used gnome in other distros and hadn't really noticed it, but maybe it's just me

Anyway

Otherwise the gnome desktop environment looks the best in my opinion

A lot of faggots like Linux Mint and its Cinnamon desktop, but I think it's super gay

gnome

cinnamon

what are these names

discord being slow

ZorinOS has the best desktop environment, at least out of those that try to emulate Windows (gnome doesn't, it does its own thing)

but it sells data I think

Still, if you're just trying it

it's basically Windows 7 meets Windows 10

this doesnt look bad

The cinnamon menu doesn't work the way you would expect it to
