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!

    I know that it's rolling release, but 4 times this year seems a bit much (lemmy.world)

    well arch moment, you could use snapshots or ostree to rollback if something like that happen

    I usually just do a full reinstall, it's faster, requires less storage, and it's more futureproof. I have my home folder at a different partition, so the files aren't a problem. Archinstall made this a lot easier, and i love it.

    After being with my current distro and install for several years I've accumulated so many small changes and tweaks into the system that it'd take ages for me to get back to where I am with a fresh install. Snapper snapshots for life

    yeah, separated home folder is also a solution, now, faster than "rpm-ostree reset" or pulling the old snapshot? idk
