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.
    •

    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.

    Update your system frequently,
    that minimizes the chance of things breaking in my experience.

    I only ever update between projects - no way am I going to break something in the middle of everything.

    This time, jump to new gnome means broken extensions as usual, and a hilarious one: qbittorrent doesn't show it's window in Wayland (gnome-with-X works). The soft is running, it there in the list of apps, there's even a big X "Close Window" button on Zoom Out but no actual window.

    Eh. Lol?

    I learned to do that the hard way...

    But not too frequently. Updating too often on Arch will increase your chances of something breaking. Updating once a week or twice a week gives the developers some time to fix bugs and make changes to other packages as needed

    Your comment is my reasoning why I use Manjaro :P

    All the Arch niceness,
    with fewer bugs / breakage
    and easier to use.

    Sure you might get an issue from outdated dependencies from AUR packages from time to time, but the chance / impact of those is usually rather small.
