Hello,
I’m new to Linux, as I was involved in a legal dispute with Microsoft, I switched to Linux, earlier I had Kali installed on my HDD but for some reason it got corrupted and wasn’t booting, so I used Kali live for a while, then I downloaded and installed Fedora 22, I’m having problems with it, the 2nd login screen is stuttering and becomes unresponsive every few moments, as I thought this was a graphics driver issue, I tried to install my graphics cards drivers, but when I ran the “*.run” file the system became slow and came to a standstill, so I did a hard reset. I find Fedora 22 interface a little counter intuitive, I’m getting used to it though, I was initially shocked with not finding “minimizing” button on windows and lack of task bar at bottom, which made switching between the file I read and the file I write notes in, tiresome, I had to download and install Gnome tweak tool through terminal to enable them, doing it through terminal wasn’t easy, mainly because of unfamiliarity of commands, etc.
Now I’m thinking of trying openSUSE 13.2, but it’s download size is around 4.7 GB and I’m on a limited package, I’ve already used up around 2.5 GB downloading Fedora 22 and elementaryOS, my experience so far with them hasn’t been good, for this reason I’m hesitant of downloading openSUSE 13.2, before I download it I want to know, do the windows in openSUSU 13.2 have “minimizing” button and does it have a task bar? Is switching between windows easy? Does openSUSE 13.2 provide the option to make the default color of the windows dark? Does it have a firewall builtin or do I need to install one? How much space does it occupy, will it automatically configure necessary partitions itself and give the option to choose their sizes? I have a programming itch and I want to master C completely, are there IDEs available for this? Is the driver installation straightforward?
When I installed Fedora 22, it installed a boot loader, which shows a list OSes available on my PC, including the non-functional Kali, if I want to remove Fedora 22, is there a way to remove Kali, Fedora 22 and boot loader to free up the space? I don’t want to lose the ability to get into my Windows partition, will openSUSU 13.2 install it’s own boot loader and provide the list of OSes available? How to remove unused OSes from HDD and boot loader list?
Please answer. Thanks
