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.

    All I know is I booted Mint OS after getting several reccs for it, and the first thing I was greeted to was my Wi-Fi card not working, my keyboard couldn’t light up, and no right click lol.

    I have since learned more and am enjoying Linux. But let’s not pretend it’s just some sort of fire and forget solution. Which a lot of people want at the end of the day. Even booting onto an older Intel Mac can be a real pain in the ass.

    Did you ever install Windows manually? Often drivers are also missing, just that Windows actually doesnt care and you need to search on some random vendor websites.

    Or even build drivers into the install ISO, like with my Thinkpad.

    I literally installed Windows on another laptop and just switched the SSDs, as it wouldnt install without the "magic AMD platform drivers".

    yes, it’s currently dual booted on my Intel Mac. Took about 10 minutes of effort then a bunch of waiting around. Had a Valheim server running that day as well as a few other games installed and tested. No drivers needed, though I’m sure that happens to folks. This was windows 10 about 2 years ago
