Isprobaj ili instaliraj¶
Napravi korak – osim ako želiš kupiti računalo s unaprijed instaliranim GNU/Linuxom, možeš vidjeti kako sloboda izgleda na tvom računalu.
Isprobaj „live” USB-memoriju¶
Take no risk¶
Using a live USB stick means that GNU/Linux will be running on your computer without installing anything. It’s a risk-less way to try and see by yourself what GNU/Linux is.
When running on a live USB stick, your computer uses solely the USB stick to work (without accessing the hard drive inside). You can launch all of the default programs, edit documents, and browse the web.
Since it is only designed as a trial mode, it is a little slow (it will take you five minutes to boot up, and programs launch somewhat slowly). If you proceed to install, the system will go much faster.
What you need¶
The process is straightforward and requires no advanced technical knowledge. You will download a single large file (an “ISO image”) and use it to create a bootable USB stick.
Before you start, make sure you have:
- A complete backup of your personal files. This is the most important step. While trying a live USB stick is safe, installing a new operating system carries a risk of data loss.
- A spare USB stick. We recommend one that is at least 8 GB. All data on the USB stick are deleted during the process, so make sure you have a backup of the data on the USB stick.
For the best experience, we recommend getting in-person support from a local community or a knowledgeable friend. However, this guide provides all the necessary steps if you’re ready to proceed on your own.
Choose your distribution¶
Debian Stable is widely recommended for servers and users who value stability above all else.
Ubuntu Desktop is the most popular entry point for beginners, offering great hardware support.
Fedora Workstation features the latest technologies and is the upstream for Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Free Software pre-installed¶
Not all computers are shipped with Windows or macOS. If you do not wish to make the install yourself, or are in need of new hardware, you can get a laptop or a desktop pre-installed with GNU/Linux.
