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
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • 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.
    • Β 

    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 remove France.

    Every person who comments about β€œbloat” in their install should be required to preface their post or comment with a full definition of β€œbloat.”

    This shit is obnoxious.

    [–] cybersandwich 22 points 10 months ago (2 children)

    I actually wonder if we could ever agree on a definition?

    Maybe:

    Bloat: any unnecessary, superfluous software, software package, or feature that is unused or unnecessarily inefficient, and/or uses system resources to an unessasary or unreasonable degree.

    What do you guys think? Because then we can still argue about bloat and what reasonable is! And that's what it's all about. Arguing for the sake of it!

    Bloat is relative to every person / usage case but I agree with this definition.

    [–] Agility0971 1 points 10 months ago

    I like this. Maybe it needs some words on bloatware that is enforced on users agains their interests?

    Anything that's not kernel

    [–] kromem 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    Well, also not kernel modules. That counts as bloat.

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

    You're right. And how much of the kernel do we really need, anyway?

    [–] cybersandwich 8 points 10 months ago

    Bloat = making your system usable

    • annoying people who whine about bloat
    [–] Agility0971 2 points 10 months ago

    installing more than base, linux, and linux-firmware is bloat.
