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!


    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.

    Arch has an awesome installer now so this is pretty dated.

    I'm using Debian, btw

    [–] nexussapphire@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

    Basic kde install, I have it up in 30 min and then I never touch it again. Definitely better than a persistent full system lockup at the installer boot screen or installed system boot screen with no error logs.

    It's probably either my 2070 super graphics card or my MSI x570 ace. Not worth the hassle of figuring out if I can't find a solution on Google.

    I blame MSI because their software and bios was always janky. But hay, you gotta piss with the cock you were given.

    Void Linux supreme light and efficient distro. But I really like Debian and Fedora too.

    Slackware users... You young kids, pffft.

    [–] dion_starfire@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

    I was thinking something similar. I use Arch because it's easy and user friendly for me. I also come from a history of using Slackware in the mid-90s, to Gentoo in the mid-00s, to Arch in the mid-teens. So whenever anyone asks how I got to where I am with Linux, I generally recommend that they don't follow the same path of pain, and start on something that's actually user-friendly like Mint or Ubuntu.

    Installed fedora and then used distro box to have arch packages. It's like cheating but I can run packages that aren't in repo without the shit storm of the versioning. Is absurd how aur is so good but base configuration sucks so much 🤣

    All this work just to end using systemd lol
