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.

    Linux: Terminal hacking, downloading shell scripts from github

    Nobara 39.

    Its easy and quick to set up, easy to use, and has a lot of ancillary tools and stuff preinstalled to make getting into the gaming easier.

    I'm not gonna say its the second coming of christ, or all sunshine and rainbows, so to be upfront and honest... Dualboot at first, if you can. Its, presumably, your first time using linux, so you will run into more roadblocks to start simply due to lack of knowledge and experience on how to navigate things, but you'll get your baselines down quick and start getting into the windows-like usability and flow.

    This is why I ask around! Haven't heard that suggestion yet

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (2 children)

    An extra suggestion is to put the /home mountpoint on a separate volume ( if you're comfortable doing so). This will make reinstalls easy, should you have need

    [–] Landless2029 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

    Yeah I do this currently for my Windows installs. But Windows would freak out on OS updates and reinstalls.

    I plan to redirect home on my next build

    Sheesh! I'm glad I've been on Linux so long to have forgotten that. It just doesn't care, as long as you have it in fstab.

    My /home partition is the same one I setup almost 12 years ago. It's been through multiple versions of Ubuntu, multiple Ubuntu reinstalls, a switch over to EndeavourOS, a reinstall of EndeavourOS, cloned to multiple drives as each one failed or was upgraded to a larger sized drive. But it's the same exact /home data.

    Nobaras kinda a new distro, but its based on Fedora (the 39 indicates its based on Fedora 39) which is well established.

    I've been using it, and the previous version of 38, and I've had a great experience with it. It also has a very active discord full of kind people willing to help.
