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.

    The Canonical cycle:

    Canonical solves a problem nobody was experiencing or needed a resolution for

    Canonical pushes problem resolution as a major component of Ubuntu

    "Resolution" impacts Ubuntu use negatively

    Users get the pitchforks

    Canonical kind of mitigates the issue somewhat but not completely

    Canonical goes back to thinking about problems nobody is having

    Repeat ad nauseam

    Interesting... I never got into Ubuntu because of the look but everything I read about it sounds like a headache. I've totally seen the exact cycle you described multiple times.

    I actually am okay with the appearance, but there is just way too much emphasis on doing things that the user base doesn't care about, instead of actually fixing bugs with the product and solidifying it. Which, okay, I guess some folks are fine with that, but being the most popular distro, why try to drive so much innovation at the expense of stability?

    I just revisited it a short while ago on hardware that had actual 16.04 compatibility confirmed by vendor back in the day and it was a battery hog and a call tracing dumpster fire on 23.10. Then I switch to Debian 12 and not a single problem. I don't get it.

    I don’t think I’ve ever seen a worse misspelling of Canonical yet. Congratulations, that’s an achievement.
