Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    •

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    They're not that common. In my experience a highly extension-ified gnome still manages to be simpler and more stable than KDE with all its native customizability.

    I wonder what's everyone doing with KDE? I've been using it for over 3 years on my PC and it was always rock solid for me. It's openSUSE Tumbleweed with all AMD build.

    Truth be told I don't customize it heavily. Just minor tweaks here and there with the rest being default, which I find good enough.

    I run arch and use the KDE beta package repo. Literally no problems. No idea what everyone is talking about here.

    I'm also running KDE on arch. It's not so unstable that it crashes, but its features do tend to break. Right now, there's an empty space in my top panel where the native system monitor should be doing its thing. It was working a couple days ago, now it isn't. Yesterday I found a stray native media player widget on my desktop that definitely was not there before. I had to restart Spotify for the 3rd time today because its window becomes unusable if it's left in the foreground when the system goes to sleep.

    I didn't do any deep tinkering at all. Vanilla KDE plasma 6 where the only tweaks I have made are those offered by the DE itself. I'm not impressed.
