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.

    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.

    Ahhh that's kind of like how it started for me. Now the things I can do on Linux far outstrip the things I can't, if I switched back to Windows.

    Have you messed around with different desktop environments (DEs) yet? That's my favourite part of Linux. I can't imagine using a laptop without tiling window manager

    I'm back to Windows unfortunately.

    I miss gnome with a passion. I loved the win key overview, it was great for dragging windows across monitors.

    Haha no worries, you are not your OS XD

    I do hope you give it another shot sometime. I think I dual booted for a couple years before switching over completely, anyway.

    To be honest, DEs are one of the biggest things I dislike about trying to use Linux. Nothing works with each other, solutions for one don’t work for another and unless you spend weeks configuring them they all look and function the same.

    Windows and Mac are simple. There’s one option, it works well and doesn’t need a bunch of tweaking to make it tolerable (at least to me)
