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!

    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 fork-bomb your computer.

    I don't mean to be argumentative, but I don't believe you're correct on several points.

    For example, if you're using the KDE version you don't have to worry about the Gnome store being slow. And the KDE version comes with its own app for managing startup applications, so no third party app is needed.

    As far as ease of use of install, as long as you're not trying to repartition drives and you're taking all the defaults it installs really easily, and all you have to do is click a checkbox for third party drivers and that gets the Nvidia and codecs stuff installed.

    I too started on a Ubuntu and then moved over the Fedora, and it seems like it has much better hardware support, especially for older hardware. I don't know if that's just IBM's influence or what, as I don't track the day-to-day of the two different distributions.
