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.

    My BCM4352 uses wl, https://wiki.debian.org/wl, sadly didn't get it working. Fortunately, I don't need WiFi on this machine

    And for most people, terminal = no.

    There are other ways than terminal. I just found it the easiest way to show the list of available drivers in Debian with a single command.

    Also I call bullshit on that "terminal = no". If people are capable of copy pasting URL they are capable of copying single line of text as well. Even if someone is afraid of terminal it provides a lot less ambiguity and should give it a shot. It doesn't require navigating through user interface which has tendency to change over time while following someone's instructions or images which might leave out the step or fail to include where to click, move, open then go to tab, 3rd row down, click open... etc. Besides nothing happens if you make a mistake. World doesn't end. Computer doesn't explode.

    Windows has been GUI only for end users for 22 years by now...

    t doesn’t require navigating through user interface

    Yes because terminal syntax and binaries can't change either, right?

    [–] MeanEYE 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    Windows has not been GUI only. It also has terminal and configuration through it.

    "for end users"

    Yes, lets ignore that.
