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.

    And I don't plan to switch back either. Everything is just better on Linux for me (sh.itjust.works)

    I've been using Linux every chance I could since Red Hat 5/Mandrake 6 - available at your local Walmart for $20US for a boxed set CD. So I now have a Cheap, Cheerful, Chinese mini desktop box just to install Linux on since all my old laptops have slowly given up the ghost one by one. I've always been a distro hopper and I missed the exploration. I've been running LM with Cinnamon for the last year and really like the stability, but it's been a few years since I looked in on Fedora. And I'm getting the itch to switch again.

    I have one laptop left that is running Win11 that I needed for some specialty software and now since I'm retired, there is little to no reason to keep it that way anymore. I suppose I will need to choose a single distro for that one. Maybe Ubuntu or SuSe Tumbleweed?

    It's amazing just how easy choosing a distro and getting it up and running has become. From RTFM and spending a month trying to compile a driver get a Sound Blaster Gold sound card to work on a 486, (I still have PTSD from that dependency hell), to just 20 minutes from start to finish on a new install and everything works.
