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.

    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 fork-bomb your computer.

    Didn't know Tomoko used Linux, truly based.

    I still try interesting distros but the ones I daily drive are usually Arch or Tumbleweed (Void linux came close)

    My favourite arch based distro is CachyOS so far, been working really well for me for the past 5 months or so.

    Eh, I feel everyone has a main distro, and experimental side distros. Am I wrong?

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

    Me before Opensuse tumbleweed

    The perfect distro doesn't exist, YOU make it then you add it to distrowatch

    Arch is the answer. Arch is the way.

    We all end up using fedora.

    Fedora made me stop hopping.

    I’m distro hopping because Ubuntu was perfect for me in basically every way, but I don’t want to be locked to a closed distro..

    I haven’t found anything I like yet, and I don’t have the skills (or motivation) to make core Debian feel the same.

    I’ll probably end up back on Ubuntu, at least for my server machine.. it just worked the way I wanted it to, and the ui was lovely for me. Plus it’s stable enough that I can just keep it up indefinitely without issue.

    I use Ubuntu too, because it works and has wide compatibility for everything, any software that supports Linux is generally tested on Ubuntu, etc. I use Ubuntu because if I tried anything else I'd end up becoming a distro hopper lol

    You comment gives me vibes of "I don't do heroin because I know I'd get addicted". I say this as someone who is currently flirting with distro hopping. I wouldn't call myself a distro-hopper yet, but I'm certainly en route to that

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

    Yep, I have my other vices though lol like datahoarding

    I haven't been converted to a Linux person just yet but I love all the watamote around here

    99% of distro hoppers quit before finding the perfect distro

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    the only perfect distro is gentoo
