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!

    Technically speaking, if you interact with the Internet in any meaningful way, you do use Linux.

    no no no, people must know I use Arch btw. Linux other than Arch is for normies.

    You need a halo and huge angel winges strapped on your back.

    Yell "I AM AN ARCH ANGEL" everywhere you go.

    I'm a poor filthy Mint peasant. I'm just not really that much into punishment.

    [–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

    Yes, I have Mint Cinnamon installed, but I just say "Linux" so people think I really know how to use actual Linux.

    [–] irmoz@reddthat.com 2 points 1 year ago

    Mint is actual Linux

    Why would you subject yourself to Gnome voluntarily????

    I use Arch btw

    [–] zedword@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

    I like Gnome. If I'm going to be using a computer all the time, I'll invest the thirty minutes it takes to set up Plasma, and if I want to get weird, I'll play around with a tiling WM. But for the lappy whose sole purpose is to put youtube on the television? Gnome is fast to set up, its theming is (mostly) consistent, and it asks very little of me.

    [–] CrimsonDynamic@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

    Tbh I like Gnome for my laptop it feels more intuitive but on a Desktop I prefer KDE

    [–] CassiniWarden@infosec.pub 1 points 1 year ago

    I use arch (EndeavourOS btw) with gnome. KDE always gives me weird graphical glitches and problems that only get resolved with a reboot, got tired of it.

    [–] Hairyblue@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    I mention I use a Linux gaming PCs on posts for games communities or a review of a game. I do it to let more and more gamers know that it is possible to game on a Linux PC. No Microsoft Windows required.

    [–] Resistentialism@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Is there an easy way to find out what games will run Linux these days?

    [–] Hairyblue@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    I use steam and Proton with the ProtonDB website. There is not a game I wanted to play that wouldn't. I know there are issues with easy anti cheat, or was. I don't have any games that use that.

    I am excited to play Baldur's Gate 3 next month and updated my Linux PC with a new Nvidia 3080 card and CPU. I want ultra settings.

    [–] Resistentialism@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Thank you, I'll look into it eventually. I had a quick google and found the only game I actually play often doesn't support Linux.

    You haven't pooped in three days?

    [–] Flaky_Fish69@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

    I use free BSD. Just so I can flex on the Linux losers.

    (Kidding…. BSD is weird. I use whatever flavor of linux happened to be interesting. Debian, fedora, Suse. Arch. Not Ubuntu. LMDE. CentOS. Maybe scientific if I’m planning some stuff with OpenFOAM.)

    [–] Cinnamon3431@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

    Not Ubuntu.

    [–] HakFoo@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 year ago

    I've been sort of liking Void, but I need to find something else, got a new SSD coming in the post.

    I wish there was something with the classic rc.d init of Slackware but an install model more progressive than "install all the things off the disc image, then wait 3 years for a new release.". A BSD might work, but I want to play Steam games and have a mainboard a modern Wi-Fi card.

    [–] Yoz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

    Pop OS all the way

    [–] SnowFoxx@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

    Do you have a moment for our lord and saviour Linux?

    [–] Andrew15_5@mander.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

    Haven't told anyone what? Akchooly, the sentence is missing "about it".

    [–] punkrocknoir@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

    I stopped using Arch because my hardware (CDJ music controllers) didn't work properly immediately unlike windows.

    [–] Pingu@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 year ago

    Finally time to say it, "I use arch btw ~~but idk jackshit about how to operate it except for basic gui and 'sudo Pacman -Syu'~~"

    [–] reflex@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

    OpenSUSE because Jerman engineering in da house.

    [–] Vahenir@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

    . . . I use Garuda BTW
