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!

    Am I going crazy or something? Gimp loads in under 5 seconds on windows for me, and that's with an absurd amount of crap (unity, blender, a vm, and 400+ browser tabs across 5 browsers) running in the background.

    Gimp loads in 500ms for me, on linux running on a mid-range SSD-using laptop.

    Meh? It's a "thin-and-light" gaming laptop, so it's quite decent, but idk if that counts as 'godly'.

    Tbf they did say 'sounds like'

    and it does sound like it, if you're casually running all of that and still booting up gimp

    unity, blender, a vm, and 400+ browser tabs across 5 browsers

    Windows cheats with scheduler. When foreground app uses a lot of CPU or IO, background apps basically stop running.
