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!

    Use Arch if you want maintaining your system to be a hobby in its own right. Use Mint if you just want something that works.

    I don't even update my Arch setup that often. Most of my stuff lives in flatpaks. I just want updated software and rolling release, which Arch is the best for that.

    Arch is great if you want to customize your system, but I wouldn't say it really needs "maintaining" beyond just updating more frequently. (which you don't even really need to do very often, you just have the option to get newer versions of software.)

    The funny thing is, I feel like I have to maintain my arch system less than Windows

    It's definitely not as bad as people make out. That said, I only run Arch on my main machine, and Debian on the rest. Just in case, you understand.

    Unless you want two monitors with different scaling.
