>how willing you are to spend hours/days in order to get something running that literally just werks on windows, and it will most probably not run as good as it will on windows.This was in the making around a year or two.
To put it in order:
4 years ago, I found out about the "VirtualBox thingamajig" and what that do.
So I wanted to fuck around and my first virtual machine was Ubuntu.
2 years ago, I started to browse /g/ and as you said >reading countless posts.
On my vm i tried different distros, apps, programs, desktop environment, etc.
If those apps or programs have a windows version, I will try them on my main computer.
When I found my old computer, I take it, took it apart, cleaned it, washed it, put it back together and installed Manjaro.
When I found my sister's old broken laptop that already was took it apart (by me from 5 to 6 years ago), I take it, took it apart, cleaned it, NOT washed it (of fucking course), put it back together, installed Arch and give it to my mom.
She didn't use it that much because her phone is was better (in hardware I mean) and the last time she used a PC to look at Facebook was more than ten years ago.
Oh and the speaker was broken too, still works but sounds like crap.
Now I'm a the anon who has a live USB, a old pc with 1.19 GB ram which I can go on Youtube to watch 1080p video and run my Jellyfin media server (for fun), SSD to dual boot Linux on my main rig and a death wish against windows that use my HDD resources to the max as "system" or "windows update thingamajig" so it make my pc to fucking lag, randomly make my shutdown take a hour or two and it doesn't tell me how, when and why is doing all that shit.

>check out linux courses, start with the basicsGood ide, i'll try that later, as
>>1274129 said >so you can learn what those commands do and learn about libraries, dependencies, and troubleshooting and that kind of thing

It's 2:35 in the morning at my place, good night.
