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!

    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 fork-bomb your computer.

    Machine is a HP ENVY x360 Convertible 15-eu1xxx with the touch screen. Ryzen 7 5825U, touch screen 16gb RAM.

    Top recommendation of within one hour of me posting this decides what distro I install. Please not Hannah Montana linux or even worse, Arch.

    I leave the decision up to you.

    Edit:

    The winner was linux mint. I've downloaded the ISO and am installing now. I hope my boss doesn't get pissed.

    I use touchscreen on kde plasma and it works fine. Firefox just needs some customizing

    I've found it depends on version / distro. My Debian install of Firefox doesn't feature gestures, which is frustrating all the more because the Epiphany browser has them. On Asahi, where it feels super natural on apple hardware, it woks excellently.

    Now these gestures... I found myself swiping 2 fingers to go back in my file browser a lot recently and I don't know if I come from the future or if I'm being a slightly uncoordinated smooth brain.

    I'm an arch. Might try it out on debian if I get the chance

    Its likely just a setting in about:config

    Or install Firefox from the official deb repo, or from flathub
