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!

    It's really not primed for development. I'd use Arch, Fedora, openSUSE or Debian for that.

    Indeed. I've been on Arch for a few years, and it's great 99% of the time.

    But I really hate how sometimes you sit down to work and something broke and you have to tinker to figure out why instead of focusing on what you want to focus.

    That's the reason why I don't main Arch. I'm already past the point where I have all the patience to tinker the conflicts away.

    You'd think so, but like my experience with other distros people suggest as more stable has been even worse. I've never tried Debian, but I swear, next time this breaks down I'm going for that one and being happy with my packages from 1997.

    Time to embrace Infinite Term Support. I'm about to go Debian too, but for other reasons
