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 users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • 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.
    • 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, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
    • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
    • Β 

    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 remove France.

    Non-corporate users use Ubuntu? Last time I tried it, I have encountered bugs on day one, and I nearly instantly switched to random distro with KDE (openSUSE, which also I dislike btw).

    Also I have very 'fond' memories of using it in about 2011-2013 where the program crashing message is burnt into my mind, because how often it appeared, and sometimes even the error reporting tool was crashing for some reason.

    I also tired a random distro, I could not get HDR to work, so I went back to windows

    Haven't done much in the desktop space, but Ubuntu seems solid for noobs. Tons of tutorials out there to get a new person on their feet. Go Ubuntu, learn, change it up later. Not like this is a life defining moment. Go with what works out the box and has idiot-proof help out there.

    My go-to for servers is headless Debian. Am I wrong? Serious question.

    [–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

    Give me a reason to change. It needs to be something real not something perceived.
