Author Topic: Xubuntu or Xfce?  (Read 3047 times)

I installed Xubuntu right now.

Installing Steam gives me an error in the Software Center:

"Dependency is not satisfiable: Curl"

Help?
I forget exactly how to update individual packages with apt-get, but curl seems to be too out-of-date for the steam package to use. Run the system update tool.

Neither since you clearly have no idea what you're talking about.

Would it be this?
Code: [Select]
sudo apt-get update curl

I was pretty sure update was for updating the package list of each repo, I remember having to do it every time I had added a new repo. Maybe upgrade?

Its apt-get update

xfce is pretty good. you could also use cinnamon but it uses GNOME3 as a base.

Xubuntu is lightweight, if you're going to use more than one monitor, its a problem. I've learned that the hard way. But go with Debian and xfce, if you do Ubuntu with Xfce its really ugly, I installed it and hated it

Its apt-get update
apt-get requires root access, which you do with "sudo"

^^ dont listen to him he's dumb. XFCE will look exactly the same no matter what distro you install it on. GTK and WM themes are what make the look different.

Have you even used Linux or are you just really biased?

Try Arch Linux with Enlightenment 17 and SLiM.

Call me crazy but it works great on an Asus Eee PC 1025C with only 1 GB of RAM and an Intel Atom processor.

A person has told me that ReactOS is really buggy.

Arch isn't great for a beginner, but yes it's a very good OS

Arch Linux is the only Linux distro I've tried.

I've had too much experience with computers, so other people shouldn't take my word unless they know what they're doing.

Of course it's going to be buggy, it's not the same kernel as any NT-based Windows OS.

looks like a loving ugly windows 95 clone
yes but the difference between reactOS and windows is reactOS actually works.
