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!

    Shit. Password expired due to company policies. Oh well, hunter3 it is now.

    Plot twist: The company name is HunterX...

    If I have a root account that can be logged in to it always had a different password. Is there something I'm missing here?

    No, that's a good choice. It reminds you to be cautious when logging in.

    Some people have trouble remembering 2 and set both to the same. It's probably better to use sudo instead.

    sudo password, user in the wheel group

    [–] boredsquirrel 10 points 6 months ago

    Thats why using sudo or polkit is not that nice.

    Making Linux work with a non wheel user is already nontrivial
