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.

    I’m new to Linux and I was troubleshooting some audio issues and yeah I ended up uninstalling GNOME. Oops.

    I once tried to uninstall every package to do with Wine but sudo apt remove wine* wrecked the system past the point a high schooler could recover it

    i currently have something similar with video output: if i turn off my monitor and turn it back on too fast (or if i disconnect/reconnect it), now there is no more picture, and i have to reboot per remote shell to get it back.

    oh well, at least there's an open issue in some github about it, so it will be fixed sometime in the future.

    I lose sound so much more in Windows. I love it when it thinks an HDMI monitor is the main sound even though I never selected it and have to change it back a few times a year. (work computer)

    You can fix this issue if you right-click the sound icon down in the corner of your screen and choose "sounds" from the list. Then in the first tab in the window that opens up you can find and disable the monitor as a sound device from being used and defaulted to at random on startup.

    It re-enable them on my work laptop for some reason.

    but when the sound drivers get updated, it seems to make its own choices unless you disable it in the device manager

    I heard that he wrote that song after visiting an underground mall in Japan. How gnarly was that mall, that it made Jamaroquai write a song about technology being fucked up?

    Japan is in the 23th century already

    In the Japanese zodiac it is the year of the Linux desktop.

    In tech: maybe

    Other than that it often feels like 1950s America

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

    Even in tech, there are things that probably haven't changed in the past 25 years

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

    True, but I give them the fax machines in their public offices and floppy disks on trains because the service works. I'd rather have it this way than switching everything to the newest ipads and breaking the service on the way.

    True, it's a lot of paperwork and not the most efficient, but I can trust that it will work

    The effect is so well made, is mesmerizing.
