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 users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • 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.
    • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.

    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 remove France.

    So no apps worth mentioning work, and only gaming (which doesn't work on Linux) is benefitted? Sway is dead and most of those other replacements are just worse. Yeah DOA like I said.

    have you seen steam deck sales? linux gaming is mainstream. everything I've tried recently just works.

    When would you think sway is dead lol? it has way more commits than i3, same number of contributors, and the last commit was 7 minutes ago. i3 hasn't been touched in months. i3 is dead, contributors have jumped to sway

    also, even if you aren't using scratchpads over guake, guake runs on Wayland. https://github.com/Guake/guake/issues/1934

    idk why all the people against Wayland are so clueless lol, it feels intentionally ignorant at this point

    i3wm is a 15 year old feature complete window manager not a JavaScript framework. It isn't dead if it hasn't had a new release this month.

    The last commit was 4 days ago the last release 4 months or so ago. It has again seen continuous development for 15 years.

    where are gaps?

    also fair, not dead, but it's silly to say sway is too.

    gaps was merged a while ago
