Honestly why aren't you using linux?

You can always dual boot.

Termux's great and all but I'm afraid to brick my phone when rooting and without root its kinda worse

cause my only laptop i had ubuntu on blew up

cute computer what is it called?

Its a gpd micropc lole. Its about as big as an original-model nintendo ds and fits in my're pocket & i go to the coffee shop and wip it out 2 do some dank codes

>what is proton
wine
>what is wine
astonishingly usable for a huge number of games, but currently falls far too short of the gold standard of being able to play any game windows can play
>what is lutris
a platform for organizing your game library; doesn't actually facilitate running game code

why do people use linux for coding?
can't you do that on windows?
also what are these things that look like cmd with all linux pics
soeey im a nooby

>why do people use linux for coding?

You can, but the programming environments Windows offers are less intergated with the operating system and personally I just find they're less pleasant to work with.
>also what are these things that look like cmd with all linux pics
Linux's alternative to cmd is called a "terminal emulator." It's somewhat different from cmd, though. Windows is no longer based on MS-DOS, so on Windows, cmd functions somewhat as a simulated DOS shell that interfaces with the actual graphical Windows OS. Linux, however, is still to this day a text-based OS, like DOS; underneath everything, it still runs in a text console, which can accept input and output, and run text-based subprograms. So a "terminal emulator" doesn't really run a self-contained text shell "in" a window, like Windows's cmd does; instead, it acts as a tunnel to the underlying text environment of the OS, running a shell in that environment and reporting input and output back and forth between the text-based program and the GUI window. You could use Linux without a GUI at all, which would feel very similar to running a full-screen terminal emulator with no mouse support; Windows, on the other hand, no longer supports this feature, since as of the first NT release, it's fundamentally no longer text-based.

i use cmd, notepad and gcc with MinGW werks just fine for making console programs. nasm for assembly

if you actually wanna make a GUI program for windows tho, things are gonna get hairy..................... lol

WAH that's alot of info, than you user for wasting your time on this random nice person on the internet.
i've always wanted to use this cool OS that lainons use on /tech/ but i was always afraid, would you recommend it for me? would i be able to look like a pro lainon?
so windows bad , LINUX TIME

this dude using notepad

yw lole!i'd recommend checking it out if you're interested, mint is a good distro to start with for users coming from windows. you'll need a spare usb drive to burn the installer iso, but apart from that, you don't even have to fully install linux to use it, you can just use it straight off the install disk until you're sure you want it, the only feature you'll be missing out on until it's actually installed is the ability to permanently save any changes you make to the system.

what's wrong with notepad?

then i'll install it, i want to save the changes i make on the system, also i want some sources to learn from about linux, a book, yt vids, anything can help, is the wiki article enough? is it as easy to master terminal elumator as HTML?
soeey if i annoyed u lole

naw u rnt annoying lole
ummm,sources, idk bcuz i learned it from school lectures srry :( i'd recommend you the textbooks but i didn't even read them lmao i just listened to the lectures. so as far as sources, hopefully someone can cover for me in that dept.

but if you install a babby's first distro like mint then it's about as easy to use as windows, it's practically its own tutorial.
learning bash (the actual text shell that runs in the terminal emulator, it's a separate program from the terminal emulator itself) is about as easy as learning cmd. it has a lot more features than cmd, so mastering it takes a lot of time, but you don't have to master it to use it for most things. also in highly graphical distros e.g mint you don't really have to directly use bash at all, it's needed for a few things here and there but mostly optional.

even though i can't point you to better sources, here are a few core commands to know in bash:

pwd
Tells you what folder you're in.

ls
Shows you the files and folders in that folder.

cd _____
Moves you to another folder in the one you're in. Fill in the blank with the name of the folder. If you want to go up a level, use .. as the name. If you want to go to a folder in another folder, join them with '/'. E.g if you were in c, b was also in c, and a was in b, and you wanted to go to a, you would do:
cd b/a
If you want to go to the filesystem root (equivalent to C:\), do cd /

cat ____
Show contents of a file (fill in the blank)

less ____
Show contents of a file in such a way that you can use the arrow keys to scroll through it and q to exit.

man ____
Bring up a page from the built-in software manual.

man -k ____
Search for a manual page. Instead of showing you a full page, it will list matching pages you could choose. If you want info on a command, usually step 1 is to try man [name of command] (no brackets), and if that doesn't work, step 2 is to try man -k [name of command] and then man [whichever page looks right].

Also probably the best thing about bash, that seems like it's only partly implemented in cmd, is that you can 'pipe' commands to other commands with the '|' (vertical bar) key. This makes it so that the command on the right starts its own prompt, and any text that the command on the left spits out, it doesn't go to you, and instead it acts like you typed it in at the prompt the command on the right started.

Really simple example:
ls | less
This would make 'less' open a prompt instead of expecting the filename as an argument, and 'ls' would dump the list of files and folders into less's prompt instead of showing them to you. So the result would be that you'd be able to scroll through the list of files and folders with the arrow keys and hit q to exit, just as if you'd run less on a file.

You can also do multiple pipes:
ls | grep a | less
That would do the same thing, but it would only list files and folders with the letter 'a' in them. (grep is a command i didn't talk about that just lets you search files for lines that match regular expressions)

thank you user i will never forget how are cute n nice thank you i wont hack your computer when im going to be a cool hacker using linux
tankstankstanks
lub you user for real and ill use these commands and remember you lole

WAH i would look like a cool hacka man just for searching for files, less sounds cool, this thread made me realise how cool linux is, i think it's like downloading root for android but instead it changes the whole OS

im a gullible consumer

oops i forgot to tell you how to do stuff with files, i only told you how to look at them and move around in folders sorry i forgot lole

to rename / move a file:
mv ____ ____
first blank is the name of the file, second blank is either the new name or the name of a folder, if it's the name of a folder then the file goes there

to copy a file:
cp ____ ____
same as mv except the file also stays where it was

to delete a file:
rm ____

to delete an empty folder:
rmdir ____

to force delete a non-empty folder:
rm -rf ____

to make a folder:
mkdir ____

to make an empty file:
touch ____

to make a non-empty file:
cat > ____
and then type out what you want in the file and hit ctrl+d when you're done

i can do all this without a single mouse click?
and these are just THE BASICS?
now i get it, now i can look like a neat hackman lole

"cat>___ " seems useful , also i like how it's called cat , im a long cat lole

Attached: 1565747105985.jpg (1152x720, 453K)

lolle they r useful on they're own but get moreso when u learn about things like | and $()

also fren u look like a very long cate
its called cat bcuz it stands for concatenate, cause if you give it one file you can see that file but if you give it more than one file it runs all of them together as one.
also the '>' works with any command, it sends its output to a file just like in cmd, the reason i suggested using cat is because when u run it without any arguments it assumes the file its supposed to output is its input stream i.e it turns itself into a prompt like it was on the right side of a '|' and lets you type stuff into it instead of running normlaly. its pretty much just like 'type' from cmd

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.
Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

so i should learn more about "|", and also i can use ">" to send the output file directly rite, that means "cat,|,>" are commonly used i assume, cats are really the best, even in OSs, you look like a cool haxor , i would want to learn more because dis seems interesting especially the way i can type things and run them, move them, or edit them, i think that's why lainons use linux, i will try to master these codes after finishing my exams

i'm proud of you that you didn't swap 'mv' with 'rm'
but instead of 'cat > ___' just use 'touch __ '

I am using noobuntu

I am a very satisfied user of GNU/linux/arch/grub/systemd/xorg/cdm/pacman/i3wm

I am currently using Debian and I like it.
Try Ubuntu.
AMD processors post FX series chips are compromised as well.
This.
Good advice fren.
Good thread. Thread is good.

>Try Ubuntu.
Hmmm.... Okay.

I say this because it is very easy to install and documentation/assistance on forums if issues do occur are in abundance. It was my first distro. Otherwise do what said and use Mint. Use the cinnamon DE if you want a more Windows like experience if that's what you are using now.

cool
