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.

    When WSL2 first came out, some losers on /g/ were cheering that it would "make Linux obsolete". Four years later, I think it's safe to say they were kinda missing the point. (vlemmy.net)

    the worst thing about windows is that you can't natively change the window manager or desktop environment. that is so backwards. they even removed the ability to move the taskbar wherever you want. this is so weird.

    Cant move the taskbar? Do you mean in windows 11, cos its possible in windows 10. If so i have just another reason to be glad i didnt make the move

    [–] iwolfking 15 points 2 years ago (2 children)

    Yeah, Windows 11 removed the ability to move your taskbar around, can only be at the bottom of the screen now.

    They also removed the ability to disable window stacking in the enterprise version. When I got Win 11 for my home pc I use it just to force myself to get it instinctively.

    [–] Setarkus 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    Wait, window stacking as in, one symbol on the taskbar for multiple opened windows of a browser for example?

    [–] unphazed 1 points 2 years ago

    Yeah. In Win 10 it can be disabled. In Win 11 Home there is a script that can be added. Not so for Ent though.

    There's a popular patcher application for this problem called ExplorerPatcher

    We should not have to fight back the OS of our computers.

    Indeed, but "your" computer is merely loaned from mr. Nadella

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

    The computer is yours. The OS is not.
