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!

    edit: for anyone curious, the problem was Xorg wasnt loading or something (stuck on systemd 'graphical interface target reached' with no graphical interface). because of a typo in a config file.

    Haven't reinstalled a distro in probably a decade.

    Same. And I never fucking will. I will learn how to fix it if it kills me.

    The last time I reinstalled a distro to fix an issue was Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper Drake.

    1. What distro?
    2. Are you hiring? If not, are you mentoring?
    3. I make a great [food]!
    4. Or have you just been stuck using Windows for the past ten years?
    [–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 0 points 1 year ago

    Have done the same with Windows.

    Only on new systems, or on systems not owned by me.
