The Friendly GNU/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 GNU/Linux, you can: 1) Install a GNU/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 GNU/Linux experience". 3) Go balls deep and overwrite everything with GNU/Linux (not recommended) If you are serious about switching to GNU/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 GNU/Linux as your new home and working on making it feel the way you want it. >Recommended for beginners: -*buntus except vanilla Ubuntu (Unity) -Debian (For Broadcom devices, use an ISO that includes non-free firmware) -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 GNU/Linux Thread. Understand that much of your software from Windows will be unavailable, although maybe wine can make up for it.
