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!

    My limited knowledge and time force me to certain distros. Some of my stuff only works on EOS, others only on Mint.

    It's easier to install another distro than spend another hour troubleshooting. I know "just read the wiki" but sometimes we don't have the skills, imagine a neckbeard trying to "just have a shower, and get out the basement".

    It makes it even more tempting to move back to Windows where I can just plug and play. But I'm forcing myself not to. ... Well that and Win11 isn't supported.

    And re things not working. I'll not even a gamer with special hardware. Just use it for web browsing and citrix for WFH.
