Your sudo password is the same with your login password. I trust your account was setup as admin.

purplekayc:
just did that this is what i got ..plz advice

am having problems determining my sudo password

If this is ubuntu or an ubuntu derivative (kubuntu, ubuntu mate, xubuntu, lubuntu,mint or other distros based off any of these) then the sudo password should be the normal login password, else if you have root password you can su to root andrun whatever command you want

Unetbootin has no provision for centOS 7.0

Man, but the gnome desktop is fugly
unity has a much more nicer feel

4llerbuntu:
Crazy news today.

Ubuntu is abandoning the Unity desktop and going back to Gnome.

https://insights.ubuntu.com/2017/04/05/growing-ubuntu-for-cloud-and-iot-rather-than-phone-and-convergence/


For me, this is where I definitely part ways with Ubuntu. I am terribly disappointed.

I really dislike the Gnome desktop so .


Guess KDE neon has me now.

I'm so sad. It's weird, I never thought I was attached to it like this.

I can never trust anything Canonical does or promises anymore.

copy all the files you don't want to lose into your Ubuntu partition most preferably your desktop folder
After u are sure you've done that.
Download Gparted

What about redhat or scientific linux? If it has a provision for any of them it will work for centos

It surely has..even for centOS....it's only the latest version for centOS,7.0 that it doesn't have.

I had to use Rufus to install centOS 7.0

bigrovar:

KDE Neon is the best thing since sliced bread. Its everything you want from an operating system and brings out the best of the K Desktop. What I love the most about it is that the Neon is a KDE rolling release that is based on a stable Ubuntu LTS. You get the latest stable edition of Kde 5 on a solid base. KDE 5 itself is a joy to use. You install and you are ready to go. It is also stripped bare and does not come with bloats like akonadi, amarok or any of those non sense, It's clean and light on resources, what else could one ask for?

You are a true apostle of KDE. Happy to have met one of my kind

Craigston:

It's beautiful, but it's quite heavy. And the 'meta' key (the windows key) doesn't open the applications menu in KDE (and Xfce too). I have to rebind it to 'meta+A' to make it work. Little annoyances here and there; Browser tabs don't close with 'Ctrl+F4', something I find handy in Gnome, Cinnamon and Unity. Somehow, Gnome is rather intuitive in its design. It just needs more malleability and support for Qt.

Meta key works absolutely fine on my KDE Neon.

On the heavyness of KDE i think its still a myth that people talk about and I am yet to see a video that really brings this point to life. I have been using Kubuntu since 12.06 and now KDE Neon and I dont see how their memory usage differs from Ubuntu and non KDE distros. I will trully like to see a video where someone really illustrate this idea that KDE is heavy because you are not the first to say this.

A video can be faked, so go get some first-person experience. Install a window manager, install Xfce, then run user sessions in them. Compare the memory usage of each one from 'top'.
Why do I have to install mysql-server to use KDE (from Kubuntu-desktop)?
While starting a KDE session on my machine, the task bar icons show a visible delay in getting arranged.

There's other OSs you can try too

SmartOS is Illumos (Solaris) based, it's free and is a server OS you run off a USB stick. Has KVM, DTrace, a bunch of various Solaris tools which are really good for uptime, basically you can run a personal cloud with SmartOS quite easily and it's reliable.

NixOS and Guix(sd) are functional systems. You configure your entire system with just one file. This means you can replicate the system anywhere, do transactional rollbacks to fix configuration problems, there's a bunch of benefits. Guix is a clone of the NixOS package manager written in Scheme, and you can install it on any existing Linux system like Debian/Ubuntu ect. You install packages with Guix as a non root user, and you can install dozens of different versions at once if you wanted. For example you can have 10 different GCC or Python versions all existing at once without interfering with each other. GuixSD is the experimental full system that's not entirely ready yet but you can play around with it in a virtual machine. Another benefit is 'guix environment' which completely replaces virtualenv and docker. You can put anything in there or write an app, and then deploy it as is instead of screwing around with virtual environments.

The benefits of GuixSD is you can now script deployment of entire servers, so write one file config, then 'guix deploy' and you can replicate it to any server. NixOS is the same thing.

Also if you want to learn more about LInux or BSD just go on library genesis (libgen . io ) and get a pdf file of 'Linux Unleashed' or 'Absolute FreeBSD' or any other NoStarchPress tech book

Hello bro, I would love to use either Ubuntu or Linux, but as a beginner, what do you advise?

For me as a beginner I would advise you use virtual machine box, then you can install your kali linux

BASH scripting

Ubuntu is Linux

Sorry I was contradicting my self, Sorry I have never use Ubuntu, but from some futures I see is more like Apple Os, and I do love apple... if I have to install on my Pc which among these would you want me install Ubuntu Linux Linux Mint Arch Linux Deepin Fedora Debian openSUSE.

I would suggest Ubuntu; it's more user friendly and reliable, although if you're looking for something like mac Os, try elementary os.
