The_Franz posted:also the windows installer is trash that will completely hose your uefi boot list, so if you are dual booting, install it first unless you want to mess with efibootmgr to unfuck things  even if it weren't a joke, which it is, any edition of windows xp worth actually using doesn't support uefi

nrook posted:I installed linux on a home server recently and put gnome on it just in case I needed to fix anything so I would have a window manager when I did. then gnome hosed everything else so I wiped it and reinstalled without a desktop environment. works great now Arson Daily posted:I did this as well and it felt a little like Cortez burning his ships when he got to the new world since I didn't (and still dont really) know poo poo about poo poo about linux or the command line save for a bunch of half remembered DOS 5.0 commands. Seems to work good now, and I'm afraid to touch anything Sweevo posted:i'll just use Windows 7 a while longer thanks OP hbag posted:whats up with GNOME? i mean i personally dont like it too much but thats just because its not really my style. seems to be perfectly fine otherwise just use KDE, op. it's very good now, and has been for two releases now. you absolutely can't say the same for gnome

George posted:Yeah exactly, I remember going back to Linux as my main OS for my laptop and looking for ages to find all the cool gnome-panel customizations that I used in 2001 and they were all loving gone. It was basically just a less customizable windows taskbar. kde
