1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • 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.
  • 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, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
  • 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.
  • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
  • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.

    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 remove France.

    I just want shit to work. I want to use it as my daily driver so I can get work done, not waste time to get things working. I don't want my installation to become obsolete. I want a nice desktop. I want a lot of nerdy console stuff, but good UI as well, so I can choose the best of both worlds for each use case, so I can work efficiently. I want to play the occasional game.

    At the moment, EndeavourOS ticks all those boxes for me. I am aware other distros do as well, CachyOS looks nice. But I'm only gonna switch if it's really worth the effort.

    I'm a boring stable enough guy, which is why I like the distro on my laptop. Also, somewhat of an aesthetics person, so same goes for my KDE set up on that laptop.

    Also the type to not like Cinnamon for the lack of customization compared to KDE.

    I have no idea what I'm doing, but also not enough fear to be careful. Running Bazzite is for my own good.

    I grew up on Ubuntu (started on 4.10), moved to Kubuntu soon after and that was my daily until KDE 4.0 broke everything. I tried GNOME and XFCE but nothing really clicked for me. I got a job, I hated coming home to more sysadmin shenanigans and I moved to Windows.

    Finally after I heard that the Steam Deck and Proton working great, and after years of Windows doing bullshit constantly, I came back to Linux. This time Linux Mint because I've been told it's easy to use and has lots of support. I had trouble with the initial setup (Nvidia drivers not working with Safe Boot enabled, it took me two weeks to figure it out) but since then everything has been super smooth.

    Anyway don't shoot me, I have kids, they love GCompris and SuperTux!

    PikaOS. I have surfed around enough to know this is made for me. It's Debian Unstable based and carries optimized builds in their own repo via a package manager that also wraps around apx, and their own tool for firmware, switching the scheduling and well, enough said

    [–] Lazer365@feddit.nl 2 points 1 week ago

    I tried Ubuntu, Mint, CachyOS, PopOS, Manjaro, Bazzite and Nobara. I stuck with Nobara.

    I use Arch in my main home server that I use for AI, and Debian Armbian in my Radxa SoC (NFS). Laptop is also Arch.
