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.

    I used to run into updates breaking dependencies, like Gimp not working after an update and such but since switching most my programs to be Flatpaks I had very few issues.

    You must state what system you run to get this experience... Are you a 'buntu user?

    extra/gimp 2.10.34-1 (20.3 MiB 113.4 MiB) (Installed)

    • NOT a single issue with this package since I installed GIMP via pacman some 6 years ago.

    I have no reason to install the bloated flatpak version.

    No reason at all.

    Arch, it's not that uncommon for a pacman update to bork some application. Such is the nature of rolling release. Not saying it's super common, but in my years using Arch it happened more times than I would have liked.

    Maybe time to move up to Manjaro ;) 6 years it never happened to me. With KDE the last year or so, we had some extensive delays before it stabilised enough to be considered stable.
