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, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, 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.

    They seem to be at war with the minimize and maximize buttons.

    Really weird decision they make

    Last time I've used minimize and maximize buttons was 20 years ago. And yet I think accessibility is more important than whatever the fuck designers that create clean dumb UIs think is important.

    You can just toggle them back on

    Except for this one Debian machine I have to maintain. They will still disappear on ever restart. They will still be turned on in tweaks and the only way to get them to appear is to switch them from right to left. Luckily I don't have to use it much.

    Tbf, you can maximize by double-clicking the titlebar or dragging the window to the top so the button is kind of redundant. You can also (un)minimize by clicking on the taskbar so the minimize button would too be kind of redundant if GNOME hadn't gotten rid of the fucking task bar.

    So the solution is I change my decades long habits. Sounds kinda like microsoft.

    lol somebody woke up on the wrong side of bed. I'm just telling you the reasoning as to why it's done because it's a fun fact. I don't care what you use. Chill.

    Don't push your emotional state onto me.

    Its pretty standard thing to say to someone who thinks projects their emotional state onto someone else. Nothing about my statement suggested I 'woke up on the wrong side of the bed' It does however suggest you can't take a rebuff and act childish about it.

    Brother, what on Earth are you talking about? Rebuff to what? We're not debating.
