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.

    Why do all my homies use Linux Mint while I use Ubuntu?

    [–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 5 points 4 days ago (6 children)

    Because you're wrong?

    Personally I don't like snaps, is the main thing.

    This is true, but the people who think of Windows as easier to use are not people who install operating systems themselves.

    I install OSes myself and windows is easy.

    With archinstall script you can install Arch in less than 1 minutes (not counting copying system files)

    You can install the enterprise iot version or running chris titus's debloat script. But if you do this, you're technically savvy enough to use Linux and really want to/have to stay on Windows.

    I call bullshit. It only took me 3 hours to compile and install gentoo on my latest build and get proper desktop environment working. Granted I'm still tweaking the config files 4 years later, but it's perfect!

    Hey! You missed nixos!

    First time install for smb. Double the windows Bar.

    Second time (if you backed up your config file)

    No bar!

    I want to buy a Framework laptop soon. I have the option to choose which Linux distro is best for me and load that on.

    Any suggestions?

    [–] horse_battery_staple@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

    What are you intending to do with your laptop?

    [–] Resonosity@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (2 children)

    Mostly web surf, listen to music, take notes, do file organization, etc. I have my Steam Deck for gaming, and I'd probably use web-based apps for the engineering work I do before loading anything onto my laptop

    But I may also want to download things like FreeCAD and other tools in the future

    System76 has their own OS. You should start there and move on if you wanted to.
