- 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.
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
sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
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.

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.

professional tip for those who decided to rock Debian on a laptop with two GPUβs.
Envycontrol will take the headache away from manually configuring your xorg & xrandr, trust me, compared to the Debian documentation this will save you hours of your life.
...who... IN THE FUCK!!! Reads Debian docs?
Arch are the true Linux docs, maybe Gentoo docs, worst case Ubuntu forums.
Run a ton of Debian, only time I check their docs is when I'm trying to remember what the current stable release is called.
I've had some good experience in the past. All the Debian specific information was properly documented in the packages README files.
I agree.
But honestly, how much Debian specific anything is there outside the install?
In fact debian is branded as the most boring vanilla distro there is, for good reason.
Almost everything Linux you do is better documented in the arch docs imho.
How else does one learn the distro they use without consulting the documentation?
Like I said, I use debian docs to install.
After that arch docs are INCREDIBLY thorough, they cover almost all of linux and are far more exhaustive than any other.
I do that. Why not? Best source on Debian specific stuff.
mandb -su | man man
Can it force apps to use iGPU when dGPU is on? It's one of the things I miss from windows and couldn't figure out on linux
It has this hybrid option, thatβs about it from what I know.
Edit: the
βrtd3flag seems to have different levels of power management.
