  • 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.

    Can you opt out of snap on Ubuntu? I've heard some system and essential apps use it, so it might break stuff if you do

    Can you opt out of snap on Ubuntu?

    For now. I'm 100% convinced Ubuntu will move to a fully Snap model leading up to 26.04, basically making Ubuntu Core the mainstream version.

    Does Mint support arm64 yet? I would be ecstatic for a mint VM in parallels on my MacBook but last time I tried I couldn’t I don’t think. Stock Ubuntu is just.. okay but I always loved the out of box experience and look and feel of mint it was my choice for dual booting years ago on old windows laptops

    Why don't Windows/MacOS need snaps/flatpak?

    on my office machine: I have Ubuntu(23.10) in its full glory. it is a good distro. I really enjoy gnome shell with Wayland.

    on my home machine: I won't let a single proprietary prpgram exist on my Debian. and the only wm would be i3(with xfce as a backup, and as a source of other common programs like terminal).

    I've used mint in my university(default distro there), which I also enjoyed for its familiarity to users coming from proprietary operations systems.

    my foray into GNU/Linux(from w*ndows) was thanks to Tails, which made me appreciate how different an OS can be(actually, my first computer had Ubuntu 4.10. the computer lasted for less than 2 years. hence I don't count it).

    and I've also helped many friends set-up distros like zorin and peppermint.

    at the end of day, no matter the distro, it's GNU/Linux. and that's all that matters.

    I've tested over 40 Linux distributions over a long span of time, but I've never tried Mint. The reason being that all three times I've read something nice that inspired me to try it again the download hashes don't match, and we find out their servers were compromised. How's that going?

    So Mint is Ubuntu based right? If Ubuntu screws up even more doesn't that affect Mint as well?
