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!

    How is it compared to ubuntu?

    [–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

    As long as you don't reach too far up the OS's ass, Debian should be more stable compared to Ubuntu and its derivatives just because it isn't as preloaded with stuff you might not need.

    Besides, Canonical is just another Red Hat waiting to happen.

    Colourful metaphor but accurate. Try to do things The Debian Way first and you'll rarely get into trouble. Start screwing with existing packages and you break assumptions fast.

    I thought we were all in agreement that it had already happened
