| xu-help82w | hi | 06:55 |
| xu-help82w | anyone here? | 06:55 |
| xu-help82w | i need help with linux os | 06:55 |
| xu-help82w | i am new ti this thing and i m currently using windows os | 06:56 |
| pmjdebruijn | just ask your question, and wait a little | 06:57 |
| xu-help82w | ok, thank you | 06:59 |
| xu-help82w | i stumbled upon a lot linux distros and i am confused. Which linux distro is the most lightweight, for beginner, looks like windows7, os up to date, and free of virus? | 07:01 |
| pmjdebruijn | none look like windows7 really | 07:05 |
| pmjdebruijn | and almost all linux distros but a few are fairly user friendly | 07:05 |
| pmjdebruijn | and it's not common for linux distros to have virusses for various reasons | 07:05 |
| pmjdebruijn | xubuntu really is not a bad place to start | 07:05 |
| pmjdebruijn | xubuntu is not the most lightweight distro around, but it's not a heavyweight either | 07:06 |
| pmjdebruijn | while still remaining functional/convenient | 07:06 |
| pmjdebruijn | most super lightweight distros do so, by being less functional/convenient | 07:06 |
| pmjdebruijn | so I would not recommend starting with a super lightweight distro | 07:08 |
| pmjdebruijn | xu-help82w: you can download xubuntu, put it on a usb drive, and at least briefly use it directly from the usb drive, before installing it | 07:09 |
| xu-help82w | if i download xubuntu, will my file in windows D directory moved to xubuntu os? | 07:13 |
| xu-help82w | about put it on usb drive = put the os in a flashdisc? | 07:13 |
| pmjdebruijn | xu-help82w: the xubuntu install will copy migrate any of your files, I highly recommend backing up all your files to a usb drive before install xubuntu | 07:23 |
| pmjdebruijn | xu-help82w: there many videos on youtube that illustratie how to create a bootable stick with xubuntu, I highly recommend watching one of those, given that will be much clearer | 07:24 |
| pmjdebruijn | but as I said, I highly recommend playing with xubuntu from a live usb drive before installing | 07:24 |
| pmjdebruijn | xu-help82w: keep in mind that any non-windows OS will not be a 1:1 replacement for Windows, a lot a things will be somewhat different | 07:25 |
| pmjdebruijn | xu-help82w: some people "play" with linux first in a virtual machine like VirtualBox/HyperV before moving to linux as their main os | 07:25 |
| xu-help82w | virtual machine? | 07:27 |
| xu-help82w | what is that? | 07:27 |
| pmjdebruijn | xu-help82w: I don't have time to explain everything, please do a little research on your end, google/youtube are your friends | 07:28 |
| xu-help82w | ok, thanks for your informations | 07:29 |
| pmjdebruijn | xu-help82w: also keep in mind that windows applications do not run on linux | 07:29 |
| pmjdebruijn | (at least not easily/reliably) | 07:29 |
| xu-help82w | ok | 07:30 |
| pmjdebruijn | that may or may not be an issue for you | 07:30 |
| pmjdebruijn | though for most things there are similar alternatives, but they will take getting used to | 07:30 |
| xu-help82w | the only windows program i use is microsoft office word and excell | 07:30 |
| pmjdebruijn | xu-help82w: you won't be able to use those anymore of course | 07:30 |
| pmjdebruijn | but libreoffice is similar | 07:30 |
| pmjdebruijn | xu-help82w: btw, you can install LibreOffice on Windows, to try that on Windows first | 07:31 |
| pmjdebruijn | https://www.libreoffice.org/download/download/ | 07:31 |
| xu-help82w | ok, thank you :) | 07:31 |
| pmjdebruijn | if you get used to libreoffice on windows first, the transition to linux will be a little bit easier I guess | 07:32 |
