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.

    This makes me ponder on how old some of those "issues" are. I remember using ESD over OSS and being very happy to finally be able to hear sounds from multiple programs all together instead of having a single program monopolizing the audio output.

    History doesn't repeat itself but it rhymes.

    That being said, even with all its issues, ever since ESD and now pulseaudio, this has been one of the reasons why I prefer to use Linux over anything else. Mostly for RTP streaming nowadays.

    In fact, for a while, pipewire didn't support RTP streams and I kept using pulseaudio just for this reason.
