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!

    Noob. Back in my day, I needed 7 (seven) days to compile my custom kernel (1.x without RLL and MFM support) and when I booted it, it often panic’d lol.

    1. Spend three days downloading and trying it distros
    2. Pick arch
    3. Sudo pacman install tmux, htop, {emacs, vim, nvim depending on your alignment}
    4. Get your tmux and editor configs just right
    5. Get into an argument on the "Discussion" section of Arch Wiki about your tmux hot keys
    6. Share your htop screenshots on social media (and by social media I mean ~~old reddit~~ Lemmy and your IRC group with the 1 other IRC user who hasn't left yet)
    7. Pacman install Firefox

    You can shorten this list of flags to -DuN. For comedic effect you can run emerge -DuN -DuN -DuuuN @world

    Dear god, just yesterday I had to wait pretty much an entire day just for ungoogled-chromium to compile, and I have 8 cores with 16GB of ram. I can't imagine having to do that with just 2GB of ram with 4 cores.
