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!

    BTW Are you using Arch?

    [โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

    I guess update for anyone who cares: I am not using Arch btw, not for this little machine. Goal of having a second workspace using KDE is running out of steam, but goal of learning about Linux is proceeding as (in hindsight) expected.

    Netbook is an old Asus eeePC with only a gig of ram, so Endeavour straight up told me no, Tumbleweed stalled out for 6 hours, Leap probably won't do any better, but I'm downloading it anyway because I'm now reaching that phase of collecting distros just to see what works.

    Which is all to say: greetings fellow Linux users, I feel like I have finally arrived.
