  • 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.

    Getting ready to go back to Linux, just waiting to get some other stuff out of the way. Taskbar autohide on my Win10 box stopped working this morning. Minor annoyance, I looked it up and found a simple fix - restart the Windows Explorer process. Okay, did that, autohide started working. Bur srsly, the taskbar is almost 30 years old, low-level shit like this SHOULD JUST WORK. Now 12 hours later I just noticed it's not working again. What the Actual Fuck, guys? Unbelievable.

    chkdsk /scan If any errors found, stop and /f them

    Then:

    DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

    Finally:

    sfc /scannow

    Is that command line stuff? Hard pass for Windows users.

    Edit: I guess the Windows users didn't like that joke

    yes, it is. those are pretty much the definitive windows commands to try to fix random stuff like this too, if they fail then it’s reinstall time lmao

    Is fixmbr still used?

    [–] DacoTaco 4 points 1 week ago

    Sure, but then they shouldnt complain. Stuff break on linux too and when fixing them you also often have to open a terminal. When things are broken, a terminal is often the goto on any system..

    And for some reason the file Explorer and the Desktop/Taskbar are connected and you can end up with just a black Screen

    [–] LovableSidekick 5 points 1 week ago

    LOL yeah I wasn't even gonna get into asking why TF hiding the taskbar has anything to do with Explorer.
