[06:55] <xu-help82w> hi
[06:55] <xu-help82w> anyone here?
[06:55] <xu-help82w> i need help with linux os
[06:56] <xu-help82w> i am new ti this thing and i m currently using windows os
[06:57] <pmjdebruijn> just ask your question, and wait a little
[06:59] <xu-help82w> ok, thank you
[07:01] <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?
[07:05] <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
[07:06] <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
[07:08] <pmjdebruijn> so I would not recommend starting with a super lightweight distro
[07:09] <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
[07:13] <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?
[07:23] <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
[07:24] <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
[07:25] <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
[07:27] <xu-help82w> virtual machine?
[07:27] <xu-help82w> what is that?
[07:28] <pmjdebruijn> xu-help82w: I don't have time to explain everything, please do a little research on your end, google/youtube are your friends
[07:29] <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)
[07:30] <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
[07:31] <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 :)
[07:32] <pmjdebruijn> if you get used to libreoffice on windows first, the transition to linux will be a little bit easier I guess

[16:23] <vulpovile> Hello
[16:24] <vulpovile> I'm trying to move my icons to my main display but they keep moving to the wrong one
[16:24] <vulpovile> I have one monitor on top and one on the bottom
[16:24] <vulpovile> they keep moving to the top display
[16:24] <vulpovile> is there any way to change this?
[16:29] <GridCube> change which is the main display?
[16:32] <GridCube> to be honest i don't ever use icons on the desktop, all my launchers are on panels
=== Rtfsc10 is now known as Rtfsc8
[23:07] <Vulpovile> I changed what the main display is, but it still uses the wrong one
