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!

    Well let's see if it is worth it or if I go back to debian.

    I did install vlc. I started vlc. I noticed completely wrong subtitle size. I went to settings and tried to change some and save. Vlc throws an error it can't save the file, permission error.

    I install vlc with flatpak. Same subtitle error. I go to the settings, I don't get an error but the settings don't change anything.

    Also almost anything i do in the plasma settings doesn't get saved.

    And that shit should only be saved in the home folder.

    I think I have to clean my home folder.

    But then I have to do the setup of plasma again.

    Damn, that sucks.

    I gave up on nixos long before getting to that point. On Debian I use apt for to install a few user packages like alacritty because of Nix issues. Everything else is pretty much the same linux experience.

    The concept is a great idea.

    The documentation is rare and the atomic behaviour seems to break my whole Linux work flow.

    Which is a good thing I guess. But I can't Google "how to do x on nixos" and get a reasonable answer. I get nothing. Or some weird forums where I don't know what they are talking about.

    Ok can confirm. 90% of my problems went away on a new home directory.

    However I still don't know how to iscsi.
