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 users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • 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.
  • ย 

    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 remove France.

    Literally me with my Framework laptop, trying to get hidpi to work. I either get tiny text, blurry text, tiny icons, but fine text, or some other weird combination of shit. Luckily, gnome-terminal does work. So as long as I never use any GUI apps, then hidpi "works" on the Framework. ๐Ÿฅด๐Ÿ‘

    No, I will not switch to Fedora. Yes, I've tried it. No, I'm not a fan of "fixing" hidpi by avoiding scaling, everything is tiny. Yes, I've also tried the new Framework display at 2x scaling, no I didn't like it.

    The real solution for me is to avoid this class of problems altogether by going back to a regular dpi screen, where everything was legible, clear, and I could use whatever damn GUI apps I wanted. I'm moving back to an X11 Carbon (rip Dell XPS) next chance I get.
