New to programming

Hey,
I am new to programming and I know nothing about programming setups to start, so I have a windows laptop and I wanna run linux on my laptop.

Somebody told me about ubuntu/debian with a dual boot. I googled a lot about how to do everything but I am still confused.

Can somebody please tell me about how to get ubuntu on a laptop/PC.

Plzz.

Realized I hate GNOME 3.

So I was messing around on my laptop yesterday with the two current Ubuntu LTS releases, 16.04 and 18.04, and I realized something. GNOME, while usable (barely), is a bloated, slow piece of crap. Unity, on the other hand, performs very well and has good visual effects to boot. In GNOME, I had to dig around on the menus to connect to a hidden WiFi network. In unity? It is literally right there. Unity is a much more intuitive UI, and faster. On my 2006 Mac Mini, GNOME, well, slideshows. Unity doesn’t perform great, but it works a TON better.

Disco Dingo ASCII

Does anyone know if there has been ASCII art made of the Ubuntu 19.04 logo? It seems just perfect to use in something like neofetch

Just Curious. About Systemd and why it's taking over?

I got into Linux a few years back and I've always used Systemd, I had no clue there used to be another way. Recently I moved to Void Linux to see what I was missing. I was a bit confused at first but making sym links and using sv is pretty straight forward. It seems to boot faster on my machine then Arch and honestly makes more sense to me. But now I don't understand the need or even want for systemd. It seems confusing (insert conspiracy theory here). I feel like I can understand why people don't like it more then do. Maybe I missed something?. it seems to do way more then it needs to. I was thinking I would end up liking sysd more not less, IDK just my opinion ATM.

Help me switch to Linux

So I want to make the switch to Linux but there are some things to consider I hope you can help me with:

1. I am highly dependant on G Suite products and therefore need Google Drive, what is my best option for syncing?

2. I mostly work with docs and sheets by Google so I need the full Chrome browser without any limitations, no Chromium

3. I still need some Windows apps (i.e. Photoshop, FileMaker), is it better to do it in Virtual Box or by DaaS?

4. I really much need development environments like Anaconda for Python and R as well as Flutter for mobile development

5. I don't really care about distros as long as it's well supported and user backed, so not too exotic

6. It is supposed to run on my Dell XPS 9570, how about the graphics and the sleep states here?

Thanks in advance for your help!

This Data file is on the same drive as my Linux. As you can see, right now it is only readable, but sometimes it is readable/writeable. I can access it only on random days. However, I can always read/write it if I am booting from windows. Any ideas? [Linux Mint]

God: Linux utility for simplifying the Git usage.

God parses the available Git commands from the retrieved list (git help) and turns them into an easy-to-type, one or two char format at the execution time. Shortcuts of commonly used git commands are supported for simplifying the usage and speeding up typing even more.

An open letter to GNOME developers

Hi kind developers.

First of all I want to thank you for your work in improving the Free Software ecosystem, I know you could be given your time to something else.

I know that criticism can be tiresome and exhausting, but I would like to tell you how I feel in the most kind way I can.

I honestly feel uneasy or alienated every time I use GNOME.

Don't get me wrong. It is not that GNOME looks bad, in fact it looks really good. And I have it in my mom's computer. But not mine.

The thing is, I feel like I am not supposed to use GNOME. I don't like the (what I feel are) huge noscript bars, I don't like that you can't hide the top menu bar, and that even when I change a theme I am wrong, all because it is not within the "vision" of what GNOME thinks I should do.

Now, I understand I can try some extensions, but my experience has been less than ideal. Extensions are a second class citizen and if something breaks I am on my own. I don't understand why this "vision" implies that I have to use my computer in a way that frustrates me.

Sometimes people say "use what works for you", there is KDE, and yes KDE is magnificent and it works really good for me.

It makes me sad that I feel I am not supposed to use GNOME. Why does that vision has to be "do what I think or go somewhere else" I don't think should be bad to adapt my computer to me.

I use my computer several hours a day every day. It's the thing I've looked the most in my life. And I am not alone. Millions of GNU/Linux users are the same.

GNOME is a great desktop, born in the GNU project, a project meant to empower the users. And I wish I could feel more empowered and less alienated.
