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.

- 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.

*laughs in sid
living on the edge? how does it feel like?
As refugee from long time daily driving arch (4 years straight) i say
It's honestly a lot smoother than people say. Things mostly work fine, and the odd breakage is never a real issue and is quickly resolved.
However, I had to install Librewolf as an AppImage, since bgstack15 was having some trouble getting the OBS to work recently.
Running sid for 5 years now. Had one major breakage where couldnt boot into DE automatically for a few days. I think it affected everyone....
Had one other minor breakage where i ignored a warning from apt-listbugs.... I learned my lesson after that
So... Overall, sid has been a really good experience.. Just make sure you read the listbugs warning on every update. And always double check if running full-upgrade to ensure nothing important is getting removed
Debian distros are named after Toy Story characters.
Sid is a kid who breaks all the toys.
Sid is Debian's unstable branch :D
It's the "unstable" rolling version of Debian. The issue I used to have with Debian was that the packages were quite old, but that's not the case with Sid.
