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.

    there not many easy results for "arch based distro with KDE how to [do thing]" but there are a lot of Steamdeck tutorials and a SteamOS desktop version would make it better
    My yearly "I should try Linux again" cycle would probably stay permanently if Valve makes the OS

    People who just blindly copy and paste random commands without any transferable thinking shouldn't use computers in the first place.

    everyone starts somewhere, it stars mindless then they eventually learn slowly but surely with a lot of mistakes. I did. I nuked my OS several times but now know a lot more about Linux because of it.
    If you apply that thinking then 9/10ths of the Linux community wouldn't have ever started using it.
    Hell 99% of the non tech people I know IRL wouldn't be able to send a text if that line of thinking is extended to them.

    So they shouldn't pay their bills, do their taxes, work?
    You can't live without using a computer anymore.

    They should learn working with computers then.
