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. 🇬🇧 Language/язык/Sprache

    Alt text: A line plot with 2 axis (confidence vs competence) referencing the Dunning-Kruger effect with various distro logos placed at different points on the line. Starts with mint/ubuntu near (0,0) and progressing through multiple distros to end up with opensuse/fedora at what it calls “the plateau of sustainability”

    uuuuh I'm all over that curve. Never had Pop! Manjaro, Kali, MX or Gentoo or whatever that birdy is. Every other Distro: yeah and not in that curves arrangement.

    Used Debian growing up, and now I've recently moved to Fedora the last couple years because I need the new flashy GNOME GUI. Yes, my younger self was more mature.

    I have Mint on my laptop, manage Ubuntu Servers at work, run Debian on my home servers, have a working LFS build on my old pc, but use Windows on my main desktop. Where am I on the chart?

    Out of curiosity, where on this curve lies "20k lines of Nix config"? (Asking for a friend 👀)

    Ive only been using linux for a few months and still dont feel confident that I know what im doing except when the gui can do a thing intuitively, so probably that beginning stage, except the distro Ive been using (ZorinOS) isnt on here. I think its based on Ubuntu tho so maybe that covers it idk. Been thinking about trying a different distro to see if its any better but reinstalling all my stuff again sounds like a hassle so I might just stick with the setup I have for awhile longer.

    It's possible to keep all your binaries and config files on a separate partition and mount them in the root directory to be used with multiple distros. I'm not sure how well this would work if you're switching to a very different distro though. I haven't tried this, so it may be a very bad idea. I know it's possible though.

    Why does nobody include Artix in þese?

    I'm not at opensuse level but I already use opensuse cause opensuse default stack saves my ass a lot even if it's a bit annoying since it doesn't have everything

    I mean, I use kubuntu but I also have installed arch and have fucked around with parts of my installation in strange ways, so probably somewhere on the slopes of mt stupid.

    Guess I'm still waiting for something traumatic to get me back to kubuntu then xD
