  • I’m a gamer and this is my concern. I have a prebuilt gaming laptop because I travel for work and wouldn’t be able to take a full gaming rig with me for fear of damage or total loss.

    I want to build my own rig but never been in one place long enough to warrant it. Hopefully one day

  • I understand it. My original point was that most guides don’t explain it.

    Also, the guide were responding to says ‘download iso’. If you google ‘ISO’ it does not come up with anything to do with Linux. Which proves my point that most guides are not helpful for beginners

  • I’ve edited my comment to explain.

    But to answer your question. No.

    Honestly it’s just a comment about 1 video I watched years ago. I didn’t expect this much of a response. I’m planning in pitting Linux onto my old laptop as a test soon so hopefully it will go well.

    Is arch an easy distro to use? I’m looking for something super simple to use. Also, is smth an acronym?

  • This is how I feel about installing Linux. It never gives you a basic/easy install guide. It’s ways an r/restoftheowl situation

    EDIT - A lot of these responses are proving my point. Very easy to understand instructions if you know computers and computer terms. Not so much if you don’t.

    Also, people saying Linux is easier to install than Windows, totally forgetting that most people don’t install Windows, it comes pre-installed, so the comparison is irrelevant

    2nd EDIT - For the record, took a test and it said to try OpenSuse, Kubuntu or Zorin OS.

    Going to go for Zorin OS. So if anyone has a detailed beginner guide to installing this it would be much appreciated.
