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 users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • 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, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
    • Β 

    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 remove France.

    Honestly it's all about usage. Fought a lot with PopOS and Mint recently, learned nothing. Partner handed me a laptop with Windows 11 asking about a "grinding sound" and I cleaned out the fan checked everything in the OS and it was all fine. 11 ran like butter on that cheap laptop. I get that people bitch about Windows, but for the most part it is bullshit bitching. 11 ran laps around Mint and Pop during my use of it. PopOS is still loading its PopStore or what not and Mints Cinnamon is running updates for days while 11 finished it's tasks yesterday. I love Linux and all, but this thing that Windows in inoperable is just dumb. They put ads and shit, it sucks. But the os runs really fucking well for so many people, that they don't find a reason to switch.

    if updates take long then change source to a local mirror.it tests their speed for you. it's a bit annoying that it won't do it automatically.
