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!

    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.

    Edit: I forgot to add context: Emmanuele Bassi (@ebassi) (pejoratively called here ebussy) is one of GNOME developers, known for removing "unnecessary" features.

    Thanks for sharing your views ! I am taking an interest in Linux again because of many factors and I'd like to minimize the chances of having to try out many things things before settling on a distro that works for me. I generally don't want to tinker, as long as the tool disappears and does its job well. So far I was under the impression that was the case with Gnome (my last experience dates back to Fedora 19 and Gnome whatever).

    I’ve found kde to be pretty straight forward, it’s also the most similar to windows so you get a general feel for where everything should be. Also for me, plasma just works, but if you are unsure and using fedora you can try a love usb with each desktop before installing
