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.

    I tried raw Gnome and hated it. Ubuntu's changes made it actually usable. At the same time, I don't really like all those DEs that just mimic XP.

    Interesting. I love Vanilla Gnome over Ubuntu's version. What do you prefer from Ubuntu that I might have overlooked?

    [–] VindictiveJudge 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

    The dock/taskbar. Gnome's default one being hidden in a menu was unpleasant. I did try the dash-to-dock and dash-to-panel extensions, but I preferred Ubuntu's implementation.

    Ah, OK, it's a personal preference thing. Personally, that's one of the things I like over the Ubuntu one.

    I am using a laptop, very limited screen real estate. I wonder if that makes a difference.
