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.

    Machine is a HP ENVY x360 Convertible 15-eu1xxx with the touch screen. Ryzen 7 5825U, touch screen 16gb RAM.

    Top recommendation of within one hour of me posting this decides what distro I install. Please not Hannah Montana linux or even worse, Arch.

    I leave the decision up to you.

    Edit:

    The winner was linux mint. I've downloaded the ISO and am installing now. I hope my boss doesn't get pissed.

    GNU Guix is where it's at

    Can't install proprietary apps --> useless as a work machine.

    Distrobox with Arch for proprietary apps?

    [–] onlinepersona@programming.dev 2 points 8 months ago

    Makes about as much sense as buying a mac with apple silicon to develop x86 linux apps or windows to develop linux apps.

    this is not how Guix works - please don't blindly spread misinformation

    add channel nonguix install firefox

    since when is "adding a channel" not part of the "stock" system? if that were so nothing would ever be part of debian based stock systems

    my point being: you can and probably should try to bring it into your workplace

    That's literally what it is? You're trying to make a Theseus ship argument where there is none. By your logic, ubuntu would be stock debian. "it's just a few apt repos with their packages installed"
