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 users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • 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, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache

  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.

    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.

    I used it after getting frustrated with the AUR. Never looked back unless the package wasn't on Flatpak or had an AppImage.

    AUR is for esoteric shit, what were you trying to get on there that had a flatpak lol

    For me, things like a Tidal music player, and proton-ge. Both can be found in flatpaks

    You say that but there are people who swear by the AUR for everything because it has everything or they prefer Pacman for everything lol

    I've had about 15% success rate with my attempts at AUR. I don't have the patience to figure out why things don't work, I guess. Either ended up with a flatpak, or decided it wasn't that important to me.

    I loved Chaotic-AUR when I was using Arch. No waiting to build AUR packages, you know if it works right away.

    You have to decide if you trust the source. Personally I'm not worried.

    Also if you know how to fix an AUR package you can open a ticket on their github and they will update it immediately most of the time.
