Technically, Ubuntu supports it’s LTS versions for something like 12 years I think?
Anyway, you can get Ubuntu 14.04 LTS still with the i386 32bit ISO.

I personally would install that and install something like FVWM95 or Blackbox WM or some other ancien desktop environment.
Where did you meet those people? Because most of the people I met during university, while doing a software engineering degree, were software engineering students who all used Linux in some way.
I don’t think it’s “Linux” that should be advertised, but Desktop OS distributions in this case.
What’s going to catch people’s eye is going to be the desktop experience, the killer apps that come with it, and why it’s better than Windows or Mac, in which case, it isn’t yet.
It’s getting close, but it’s not there yet.
I’m very skeptical about online cloud-based password managers. I don’t trust that at all. I still prefer to use a local off-line password manager like KeePassXC.
Sorry, but I don’t think that’s a pretty positive and constructive attitude to have in a thread where someone is asking for help. Especially if they are newbies.
In fact, OP has answered my reply.
Would installing them in virtual machines be a good option for you?
It would allow you to test them without having to go through all the trouble of repartitioning and risking to lose your data.
What’s your objective here? What is it you want to do with all these Linux distros?
If your PC already has Windows, you can create an installation USB key.
There’s no need for a Windows key because your system is already registered with Microsoft. It creates a unique ID from your computer’s peripherals.
So just pop in the USB key, boot from the usb key and follow the instructions. To boot from the USB key you might need to go configure the boot order in your BIOS.
I remember back in day, my friends would learn how to script only to modify their mIRC and have some sick startup animations and music.
Then MSN Messenger showed up.
Is mIRC still a thing? Do people still use it? Gosh I feel old.
Try to find the Fedora/yum equivalent to
apt-get purge gnome-desktop
apt-get autoremove
Yeah that’s what I should’ve suggested instead…
You really should check out Elementary OS. It has a very Mac OS like interface. I really enjoyed it.
I really truly appreciate the effort. I don’t know why people stopped caring about these things. The internet has become so commercial that the open standards seem to have become an afterthought to most companies. It’s important to have people like you to ensure the standards are still respected.
I’m just so fucking furious at how every company I work for ONLY supports Chrome (and by relationship, Edge). And as soon as I get issues using Firefox their response is “we don’t support Firefox”.
Like what the fuck???
Our company just installed a proxy system on our PCs that fucked everything up in Firefox and when I called IT for help, that was their response.

2009 - Oracle buys Sun Microsystems for $7.4 billion
R.I.P.
Everything Oracle touches turns to utter shit.
I’ve been running Linux on Nvidia graphics for 24 years. It’s never been an issue.
