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.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    You aren't wrong about the aur. Similar could be said about flat packs snaps Etc however. We should always audit our systems regularly.

    That said, Manjaro is different enough that even enabling the Aur is a bad idea. I know from experience as I've done several reinstalls Etc. Because of Manjaro issues with the aur. They really shouldn't even ship access to it. Because Manjaro does so many Breaking changes. It's one of many bad decisions on the part of Manjaros maintainers. Ubuntu may be Debian and based. But it's not Debian. Manjaro is the same.

    The rest of them basically are Arch just with a few tweaks, themes, base install, and installer.
