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.

    Microsoft in 1995: Let's put the start button at the lower left. So people can always find it.

    Microsoft in 2012: Start button is gone, but you can still click the lower left, like you have been for 17 years.

    Microsoft in 2013: Fine have your button back since everyone is so used to clicking on it.

    Microsoft in 2021: Let's make the start button move around every time you open and close anything.

    Meanwhile on KDE

    Me: I wanna edit my taskbar and desktop

    KDE: ok bro just right click and enter edit mode

    And do anything you can possibly imagine with to a super granular level. I love me some KDE

    I'm not sure what you mean, the start button on the taskbar? I'm pretty sure it's always been in exactly the same place and all that has changed is whether it literally says start or not, and what glyph it uses to represent it?

    W11 by default centers all taskbar icons, including the start menu. You can change it thank goodness but the default is really dumb.

    W11 also has an annoying snap behavior between monitors, which may have led to that decision. My left monitor is 720p and my main is 4K. On W10, I kept the monitors aligned at the top and it made it really easy to land on the bottom left corner of the main screen. Now it jumps up to the left monitor doing the same thing.

    Windows 8 made it a gesture to activate the start menu... rather than clicking a start button.

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

    Win8 was a case of "dress not for the job you've got, but the job you want"... Luckily Windows 8 just wanted to be a handheld OS and not an AI interface like win11.

    ooooh I forgot about windows 8, gross
