Community rules (click to expand)
1. Follow the site-wide rules
- Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
- Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html
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!

If Linux was fine, then I wouldn't have gone to the trouble of looking for an alternative and taken the time to teach myself Linux. I don't know anybody else who uses it so it's not like somebody twisted my arm
Something like Linux Mint is just as easy to install as Windows, if not easier. No tinkering, fixing, fussing with the terminal. It just works.
Also worth noting that modern smartphones manage RAM automatically. Having a bunch of apps "open" isn't an issue.
honestly endeavouros and fedora (at least the i3 spin) are really easy too and you don't even need a mouse... (yes windows does for some parts of the installer.)
