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!

    Not fixed but there is an Arch problem that is and will always be the bane of mi existence.

    For some reason when I click with the trackpad buttons the touchpad gets frozen for like a second (it's like they are recognised by the system as keyboard buttons, I have enabled that option to temporarily disable it when using keyboard).

    I've checked for hours and days the libinput documentation and some synaptics libraries, even legacy ones. It is to this day the only problem that has lead me to reinstall my system but the problem remains.

    It's not even like I have some niche setup, I mean, surely there must be thousands of Arch users running with a ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 7, and surely not every single one of them must be running it like this, right?

    It has come to a point where I just gave up and got used to my system as is, but I'm sure I would be running fanfare if some day I am able to fix it.
