question about Linux

Are you a retard?

no, but you are

If you can't be bothered to learn these simple questions then stick with windows dummy.

found my answer Thread: *General Linux Questions* Thread (Ask away.)

It is VERY good.
I like Mint with the Mate desktop.
Others like the Cinnamon desktop.
It is entirely free.
Yes during its install it will detect
windows and ask you if you want to dual boot
Windows and Mint Linux.

Having tried all the other versions of linux,
I like Mint w/ Mate desktop best of all for
my daily use.

thanks a lot, you just answered my question going to try it , have a lucky weekend

i just set up my sisters laptop to triple boot linux mint, win7, and wn 10.
mint is great, very well done, use built in firefox to use flash and java, to play pogo games.
comes with libre office suite.
cant be borked like windows because it requires a
password to install stuff and do updates.
blue tooth head phones auto detect works great.
get a usb thumb drive
just download rufus app and mint iso,
run rufus select the usb drive, select mint iso
then hit start.
once rufus is done, boot to the usb drive.
begin instal, u can choose to keep windows and dual boot.
or wipe and just install mint.

thanks 4 the information

It's Free and it beats the hell out of Windows (unless you are a gamer fag).

Yes, you can dual boot and the installer will do all of the partitioning work for you.

Keep in mind, like everything else, there are ways to screw up in a big way.
Google for install guides, setting the Search Tools time setting to 1 year.

There is also this Linux-specific google search engine.

Might want to educate yourself on what Linux really is, first. And it's GNU/Linux, to be exact. "Linux" is actually a misnomer.

Flame away!

I'd go full tuxtard and go for arch linux. You'll never look back.

I have dual boot with Windows 10 and Linux...first you have to install Windows. When you do create a separate partition to hold Linux. Don't install Linux first because installing Windows then becomes a major pain in the ass to get the dual boot right.

Good site here to explain it all.

Gamer fag you say. Did you know that the latest unreal engine 4 fully supports tuxtards? Source 2 aswell. Vulkan is coming you stupid fuck.

Tuxtards we RIDE!!!1

YAWN --- get back with us when Linux is ready for prime time ...

It's better, but still YEARS away ...

fail.

you still want to goof with windows.

Its great . Probably has backdoors built into it bu those who have that knowledge would have to actively target you.

Its safer than windows.
Ofcourse you can get a rootkit or if youre stupid someone tricks you into running a script.

But virii arnt really a threat.

A) not enough people use it to have mass virii development

And

B) with the linux file system being as compartmentalized as it is even if you get a virus it can usually only infect that segment unless the virus runs a script.

Prior to installing anything give Elementary OS a looky loo:
