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!

    Tbf, thanks to X11 Linux isn't safe from stuff like that.

    When I use my VR glasses, Steam sometimes creates an uncloseable X window that isn't attached to any process. I don't think even killing XWayland gets rid of it.

    On Plasma Desktop, pressing Ctrl+Alt+ESC kills anything you click on next, instantly. There is truly nothing you can't kill that way, even the desktop itself.

    is that just shortcut to xkill? or own system?

    [–] fallingcats@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 week ago

    I don't know, but I think it's works on Wayland too. Probably something built in.

    I assume it's a different system since it works on Wayland, but idk
