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!

    Oooh... okey, noice noice....

    How similar is the interface to windows?? Im mostly interested in how customizable it is. if theres more customization features (I lake to change the colors n fonts of stuff and all my themes are an eyesore on purpose uwu) then im sold.

    Also the amount of fucking data lost on games/programa cus of forced updates....

    There is no single desktop environment on linux. Your customization begins with choosing your desktop environment/window manager.

    To get a feeling for the things people like to do, you could take a look at !unixporn@lemmy.ml or !unixporn@lemmy.world

    Yeah don't worry, you'll mostly be copying and pasting stuff from the Internet. Not much mental exercise, just follow instructions.

    The Arch Wiki is an amazing resource, It contains tons of useful info that isn't specific to only ArchLinux.

    This is a choice as well. Some people like editing configuration files, while others prefer a gui. The big desktop environments like gnome or kde of course offer changing themes and wallpapers in a gui.

    You can look at some themes for kde plasma on this site: https://store.kde.org/browse?cat=104
