Community rules

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!

    No, but it sure is annoying having to switch in the middle of doing something especially when you're working. (Also, there's that pesky thing that happened to me as well where windows doesn't play nice with the Linux boot partition and fucks it up) So there's always going to be a main os. If you're fortunate enough you can use an old laptop for windows. Or, if your computer is powerful enough run an windows VM. For me, Gnome Boxes offered a really easy to use experience of running windows. It worked out of the box, no special tweaks.

    I installed Garuda on my wife's gaming machine last autumn, dual boot with Windows. I haven't seen her using Windows since then, and she said she hasn't. She loves it btw, says, even better graphics in some games. And KDE is an eye candy anyways.

    If you don't turn on windows of course you won't have problems.

    If I ever dual boot again, Windows will be on it's own HDD.
