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!

    Have they fixed that 100% disk usage bug in Windows yet? Seems to disproportionately affect laptops with magnetic disk's and just chokes the whole system making it unusable

    Is that what the fuck I've been experiencing?

    Jesus Christ this is it I'm finding a damn DVD and getting Linux.

    I'm throwing the damn SSD away and getting a new one to install Gentoo on

    Are you an experienced Linux user?

    [–] MigratingtoLemmy 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

    Not as much as some others. I work with Linux at my job and use it at home, take that like you will

    Done! You should see about 4 reports in !linux . Take a peek and see what that looks like from whatever client(s) you normally use. Note that you’re not always obligated to take action on things that are reported. You know where the reports come from and have a good idea of how reliable they are.

    We have a completely optional moderator discord here https://discord.gg/wKg6bhkM if you’re interested.

    Thanks for helping out. If you have questions or need help at any point, let us know. You can PM me, there’s the discord, or there’s the [email protected] email that goes to the instance admins.

    not technically a bug, its updates and other stuff thats still notoriously heavy on windows. you can usually see what it is on the task manager.

    its not a bug, its a feature. its updates, telemetry and other stuff they want you to use like edge. you can see it for yourself on the task manager.

    you can use some feature disabler apps to cut out a lot of this crap but theres only so much you can do on windows. updates are crazy heavy for what they are.

    it is however a substantial improvement, they undo the mods on update and you will have to play little a cat and mouse game to keep it good.

    windows can be improved but linux is the permanent solution for weaker hardware if you can use it.
