  • 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!

    Plasma isn’t stable

    How so?

    I've experienced desktop crashing on Plasma, never happened on other DEs.

    The last time I tried it it crashed just from moving the panel around on the desktop. After a reboot it didn't do it again. Plasma just does odd things like that sometimes.

    And if you used Plasma 4 all the way up to around Plasma 5.15/5.16, Plasma was practically unusable due to instability. It's why Plasma stopped being the default DE of choice and Gnome took over.

    Plasma has improved a lot over the past year or two in particular, but it's not close to as stable as, say, Gnome or Cinnamon.
