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!

    Here comes Arch Linux with a steel chair!!

    Here comes Arch Linux with the parts for a steel chair! Now they're pulling out the instructions for putting it together! Uh oh, the instructions say what kind of bolts they need, but not how many! Arch is trying to fit it all together anyway! Hmm, looks like some of the assembly steps are missing... ok, Arch has got something that looks like a chair constructed... now they're going to test it by sitting down... oh, and the chair frame has held together but the seat has fallen off. Arch forgot about not breaking user space again!

    I hate to say it to you guys but Linux Mint is really just about the desktop and their initial setup of Ubuntu.

    I personally care about unique and usable distributions:

    • Ubuntu (Really excellent foundation for a stable Desktop)
    • Debian (Rock solid but can be dated for Desktop)

    There are unique distributions but not usable for doing work like programming full time and other things:

    • Arch Linux (I personally not comfortable updating this distro)
    • Gentoo (I am not high to actually use this distro)

    Well, Mint also corrects some of Ubuntu’s mistakes. It doesn’t force feed you Snap, for instance.

    Instead it hides snap and acts as if it didn't exist.
