Community rules (click to expand)
1. Follow the site-wide rules
- Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
- Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html
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
sudoin Windows. - No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, 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.

Honestly this is good enough for most people. Some may say you risk fucking up the os/computer but windows guides carry the same risk.
No. They aren't. You don't need to follow some insane text guide to do basic shit in windows.
Whether you think it's the same or not is irrelevant. Windows is easy mode for most people.
You don't need to in Linux either. You can do most everything from a gui.
Depends on the distro. Some are more tailered to GUIs and some are more tailored to TUIs.
Of course but Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Mint and KDE are all pretty good in the gui when standard
Agreed, but I've still run into some instances where a program is not available in the official store and you need to add the repo via terminal.
Not as common as it used to be. I'm just saying.

Even then, you can usually add via the gui even if it's a bit complicated. Flatpaks and snaps make that way easier.
This is true.
