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!


    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 fork-bomb your computer.

    I've found it easier to use KDE to switch from windows as it feels like a more complete ecosystem that I'm familiar with. And it is pretty great, until I install one bad graphics driver and then I'm stuck in a terminal only session until I can fix it. At least windows has safe mode.

    Meanwhile KDE/Fedora gave me the most issues on both my laptop and desktop.

    The UI drops to 1hz refresh rate for some reason.

    My mouse cursor theme was causing issues with Firefox. My mouse would just disappear when using Firefox.

    Konsole and Dolphin kept opening in a tiny window, where I had to expand it every time to see the text. No amount of saving preferences would fix it.

    The logout button hard locked my PC. Only way to fix it was to reboot my PC with the power button.

    Steam constantly locked up, even when trying to play games rated GOLD on Protondb.

    Davinci resolve refused to launch. Kept giving me errors.

    I then gave up. Most of the issues never got fixed, and the ones that I did manage to fix took HOURS of Googling. These are all such basic features/tasks that literally work out of the box on Windows/Mac.
