Hey ya'll,
I got my hands on an i7 8 GB Surfhttp://docs.gns3.com/1QXVIihk7dsOL7Xr7Bmz4zRzTsJ02wklfImGuHwTlaA4/ace Pro 3 to study for a Cisco CCNA cert. Apparently one of the best way to emulate Switches is to use GNS3 in a Linux environment. Well, I've been trying for a week to use Linux in this way on my Surface.
I'm at my wits end. I don't know what I'm doing and following detailed tutorials has sent me down rabbit holes with no way out.
I've tried Ubuntu, Manjaro and now Fedora. The last two supposedly having SP3 support built in. Maybe my problem is that I have a Type Cover 4. Fedora 25 boots and works with my roommate's Type Cover 3, so I'd like to figure out how to update Fedora to work with the newer cover if possible.
But then I look at GNS3's installation guide:
http://docs.gns3.com/1QXVIihk7dsOL7X...lfImGuHwTlaA4/
and see that Fedora's installation is broken?
I am frustrated and at a loss how to proceed. I don't understand the terminal, or where to find step-by-step guides to entering commands.
Maybe I shouldn't use Linux to study, I've just read that there are emulation issues using VMWare in Windows - which I also have no idea how to use. I'm not interested in mastering terminal use -right now- my main goal is to get a Cisco cert to improve my income, I'm happy to learn Linux more later.
tl;dr:
Following tutorials for some reason keeps me from getting Linux flavors operating properly on my Surface & I don't have a clue how to install GNS3 for full functionality.
Any resources and tips ya'll can share would be appreciated!
Add Edit:
So, I try this on Manjaro:

I'll type into Terminal:
sudo yaourt S-gns3
result:
target not found: gns3
So, I'm ignorant on how this could be, trying to work through that.
