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.

    If anyone wants to call Debian an "old man distro", that's fine with me. But I get to pick the old man (dubvee.org)

    Eh, they also call Mint a noob distro. I'm not dealing with Arch or smth on my work machine. Screw that Mint is perfect.

    There is nothing wrong with using things that "just work" when you need them to.
    Same reason people buy Toyota and Honda.
    My life has enough chaos to handle, without starting my day faffing with Arch for no good reason.

    Well said. Also a Honda and Toyota owner here :). When I started learning Linux there was so much hype around Arch...I installed it and then Meh pretty much like any other Linux, except things weren't tweaked to function as a cohesive whole. Arch people complaining about btrfs filling drive, or nVidia issues. So I went back to OpenSUSE Leap. It works. Btrfs snapshotting built in to any time you alter system, backend chronjobs for balance and cleanup. nVidia driver hosted directly by nVidia and specific for OpenSUSE. Why would I want life on hard mode.

    i'm an absolute beginner, and will install Garuda (arch-based) on my next computer. I also used Tumbleweed, it is pretty good. It was my first linux experience and found it manageable
