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 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
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • 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.
    • Β 

    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 remove France.

    I am very pro Linux and have been trying to migrate all my system but I got to say:

    I installed windows 11 LTSC and disabled automatic updates, it’s not good but it’s also not this bad.

    If your wondering why, pirating games isn’t very seamless on Linux yet,

    [–] Shipgirlboy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 33 seconds ago

    Why would we pirate games when we have SuperTuxKart?

    One day I will swap to Linux!! One day!!!

    [–] HuudaHarkiten@piefed.social 1 points 1 minute ago

    I thought about it for years. Then I did the switch and wished I'd done it years earlier.

    Then I thought about switching from Ubuntu to something else for years. Then I switched to Debian and wished I'd had done that from the beginning.

    I suck with computers, I have no idea what I'm doing 90% of the time, plus I'm dumb as hell in general but I still managed to do the swap with zero issues. Its easier and more straightforward than what people say. Just do it.

    That day is closer than ever.

    Cmon man. Join the right side!

    It's really easy. Linux Mint. Bootable USB. Back up your important files on a separate harddrive. Plug in USB. Reboot. Install. Port old files over. Good as new

    Bonus points for looking into how to optimize your partition structure, but it'd be fine to just let it do its thing. Also like... I guess you should probably make sure your audio and video cards are supported, but they like 98% are
