Sister communities:


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.

    i haven't done that since i installed void linux. for some reason it just always "feels clean" to me

    Fedora Silverblue enters the chat :) Haven't had a single hiccup so far. Only ublue spins are a pain in the butt imo. That's why I configure everything by myself.

    But I need to try NixOs soon

    I did this with windows. Not so much macos until later versions started ballooning in size and being optimized for SSDs.

    Clean install is more than feel safe. It is safe as it is a fresh start and will eliminate anything you missed that is not desirable.

    I reinstall on an estimated average of about monthly, distro hopping skewed that, it so should be around a bit less than bimonthly.
