Switching to Linux

So I am going to switch to linux since my friend said it is better than OS X, but it seems like there are a bunch of versions of it. Which one should I use?

No picture related because I can't find the button to pick one.

FreeBSD.

FreeBSD

Is there anything less ugly? I am looking at screen shots and I want something that doesn't make my Mac look like nerd shit.

OpenBSD

Plan 9

NetBSD

I think you might be looking for eComStation

seems right up your alley

>>8
Can I still watch my anime on it?

>>9
yes

UBANTOO is the best GNAA/Linus around

Use gNewSense it's the only truly free^TM one! Stallman would approve of you!

>>4
Try Android, it's got a nice GUI for Linux.

>>13
This is probably the fattest trolling this thread has to offer.

>>14
But Android looks nice.

>>15
It's unusable.

>>16

You're moms unusable

>>16,17
I'm using it right now.

>>18
My condolences to another victim of Android's unusable GUI.

LOL EBIN THREAD DUDE IT'S FUNNY COZ ITS LIKE /g/t XD

>>20

It wasn't a joke. But since you assholes wouldn't help I installed Linx mint since someone told me I could make it look like a Mac.

>>21
Yeah, just use that. You wouldn't like real Linux anyway, because it's for straight people, not gays.

distro my anus

>>21
ElementaryOS looks like Mac not Mint

How is loonix better than BSD?

>>25
BSD is unusable. Stick to Linux.

Big Syrian Dick

>>25
Wine makes GNU/Linux the ``acceptable Windows"

>>29
Wine is my favorite Lunix distro

debian

le systemd face

Stallman copypasta in action
Son, I am disappoint
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Most Linux based OS don't use GNU.

???

>>34
not the same anon but he probably means countless embedded systems which use uclibc instead of glibc and busybox instead of coreutils, as well as android devices which use bionic and toybox.

>>35
Those systems are obviously not GNU/Linux systems. The Stallman Linux pasta is all about systems that rely on GNU and Linux to form the fundamental OS. As far as I can tell, systems that use the Android OS do not rely on GNU and so, Linux/Android systems are not GNU/Linux/Android systems.

>>36
Right, and those GNU systems are a small percentage of the install base for Linux.
