Author Topic: Xubuntu or Xfce?  (Read 3057 times)

yeah, i'm install OS's again. but this time, it's xubuntu, or xfce. which one should i pick, and if you can please tell why which is better

if you have another choice then feel free to tell me



use xfce4 and debian

XFCE is a desktop environment, and it comes with Xubuntu, so there's no either-or here.

The OS you want usually depends on what you're looking for in an OS. More times than not, you're either on the ease-of-use side of the fence, or the lightweight, speedy side.

Alright, so I suppose I get Xfce.

When i'm at the download page, it's just an archive...

How do I install this for Windows? :/

You can't install XFCE in windows. It's a desktop environment for Linux, and you need to install a linux distro (such as Xubuntu) to use it. As mentioned before, Debian also has an XFCE variant.

I'm installing Xubuntu right now.

I installed Xubuntu right now.

Installing Steam gives me an error in the Software Center:

"Dependency is not satisfiable: Curl"

Help?

its needs the dependancy curl i think

open the package manager, search curl and install it from there. if you cant find it, do a bit of googling to install from command line

I think that might mean that the OS does not have curl installed.

Type this into a terminal:
Code: [Select]
man curl
if nothing comes up, or it outputs an error type
Code: [Select]
sudo apt-get install curland enter your password.

You must be an admin to execute the second command.





windows
lol
you just came in here to rustle jimmies didn't you.
