Don't run Linux, run the OG Unix. Don't use a desktop, get a mainframe.
Make them use an old, abandoned distro.
Like Brazil's own Knoppix fork Kurumin.
Knoppix wow, a whole OS on a cdrom. My first foray into Linux, I think read about it an issue of MaximumPC (or maybe it was Maxim)
I felt like such a sorcerer when I crossed the threshold from just burning bootleg media to burning and running an ephemeral operating system.
Thanks for reminding me knoppix is still alive and kicking
Knoppix! I forgot that existed. Wow, what a blast from the past. I remember trying that out in high school. 3.2 or 3.3. Something like that. I just knew it took a long time to download via dial-up.
Alguém devia ressuscitar o Kurumin
Em espírito, eu concordo contigo
Olhando lógicamente, não teria sentido, já existem tantas Distros, metade das quais são só forks de Debian e/ou Ubuntu que mudam quase nada. :S
Gentoo obviously :
To install, easy just get this iso, with no GUI, then whip your hard drive, create partition, copy the Linux core, config your core based on the hardware technical details of every components you have and will use, compile it, add extra core drivers, compile them, add all the software you'll use to get a GUI (Desktop environment), compile them,. Now you can finally restart without usb stick! Add all the software, configure and compile them. And for every update of every software you may check the details to be sure it doesn't break your config.
Easy no? It just took you a month to get all the steps right!
Gentoo is a little easier nowadays. It has binary packages and you can use any old Linux live CD you prefer to do the install :)
The kernel source code.
And suggest they go over it and optimize it before building.
Nixos, Legacy of the greybeard.
When I was first looking into Linux I asked the only friend I knew who used it and he unironically recommended me Arch...
A year later I actually gave Arch a try, but by then he apparently hated Arch and switched to Gentoo and I stopped asking him for advice at that point.
he apparently hated Arch and switched to Gentoo
Honestly the only thing you should probably understand before going with arch is how to properly use the CLI, then the wiki is a breeze

Ya there's Arch. There's NixOS. There's still Slackware.
But have you heard of 9front?
9front is useless. You won't be gaming or working with it.
Mostly, you'd learn how operating systems are constructed.
Or DoomOS or DoomLinux. It's a basic linux system where DOOM is the shell.
I forked this and tried to get it running. Learned some interesting things. Still doesn't work for me. :]
https://github.com/fl64/DoomLinux
Using DoomLinux to mess with someone would be hilarious. Plug the USB into the back of their computer then alter the boot order so it prioritises USB. Each time they start their computer it boots into DOOM.
@gwilikers @dbtng but it will not boot because of missing csm/mbr support. Need EFI version (basicly you may run doom on pure EFI without OS, as it supports everything needed and even more)
I think what you are saying is that the project I linked won't work for USB boot on a new EFI system. I imagine your assessment about EFI is correct, but I'm mostly interested in virtualized systems.
Their are several DOOM linux things out there. The version I'm working on builds out with busybox.

My eventual intent is to use DOOM agents as a load tester.
I'd like the ISO to boot, look for a local game, and join a bot to deathmatch.
And then the testing metric would be a simple count. How many dooms can it run?
I have lots of projects. I might finish that one some day.

9front is not useless!
you can run catclock.
The one you toggle into the switches on a PiDP-11.
NixOS:
Gentoo:
To scare them? Windows.
It's the absolute best way to make someone become a Linux user for life.:-)
Any BSD folk 'round here?
Yo.
Wouldn't recommend it for novices, but I've just never had a better server distro, they perfected it.
As long as you have compatible hardware, it's great. I didn't bother researching when I built a new server and ended up switching to debian since bsd didn't support my nic.
It's incredible if your hardware is compatible.
Yeah, wifi is still sketchy though.
