  • 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!

    no i meant arch becomes easier than beginner distros when you have the base knowledge

    That's why I switched to Arch. Every stack overflow article to fix little problems with sound or screen tearing or whatever was a 1 line fix for arch or 4 to 6 lines for Ubuntu.

    There is a reason why people switch from Arch to Fedora.

    Does that actually happen?

    I work in a stem center as a computer science tutor and it has happened to myself as well as a tutee and a fellow tutor. We all moved because keeping up with a rolling release gets tiring when you have projects with deadlines. They call it the bleeding edge because it has a tendency to cut you.

    I still love arch and there's parts of it I miss. Fedora just has a tendency to break less often.

    Maybe it's just ubuntu being bad, but I've had way fewer issues on arch after switching to it. I had like 4 issues where my pc just wouldn't boot in the 3 years I was running Ubuntu, and I've had I think 1 in 4 years on arch.

    Granted I've gotten more comfortable with linux in that time and have gotten better at fixing problems.

    yeah I've had a lot of problems with ubuntu. our arch problems mostly stem from an update breaking compatibility for tools we use for things like the oscilloscopes in labs. fedora just works most of the time though

    I think Arch is more stable nowadays, but I definitely needed to switch from Arch to Fedora back in 2014 after NetworkManager kept breaking my wifi. I wanted a bleeding-edge, customizable distro that's still batteries-included and stable.

    Because they are too lazy to read the wiki?
