  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.

  • 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.

    It's such a pain in the ass. Every time I have a kernal update it's time to go into single user mode and hit up lynx for the new graphics driver.

    do you mean their graphics cards or everything they make?

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

    No idea what else they make, but my experience with theirs graphics cards is enough to dissuade a purchase of any of their other products.

    What distro? Running OpenSUSE Tumbleweed here and used to have to do that too. It was awful.

    They have an official Nvidia repo that works pretty great now though, and works between kernel updates.

    ...now if only updates would stop randomly deciding my computer can't wake up from sleep anymore, that'd be lovely...

    Why can/is openSUSE do/doing it but not others?

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

    Will you're almost free from that. I saw 6.7 uses the GSP firmware, so if you have a newer Turing card noveou (can never spell it) will be able to run games.

    My issues have been proton with Nvidia, versions that work fine with AMD don't work with Nvidia i can't wait for NVK to be a thing.

    For people who don't know what NVK is.

    w3m works a bit better in my experience

    Must be a by-distro thing. On KUbuntu and Pop! I've never had any issues with Nvidia, though I know that they're a pain in the ass to work with.

    Same with Mint and LMDE, it just works.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

    Mint is remarkably stable. They even seem to put a barrier up against Canonical's questionable decisions.

    That distro needs more funding and more shout-outs.
