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. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 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
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇺🇸
  • 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.
  •  

    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.

    Ok. I’ve downloaded, tar and gunzipped the files for it.

    Then did a make build and then make install. Now my system won’t start. What do I do?

    In the olden days, I would have spent hours to fix it, completely forget everything I've done over the course of those several hours and then having to reinstall it bcs I've broken something else in those unsuccessful attempts and now dont have the energy to figure out this clusterfuck too.

    Ahh, good memories.

    Why doesnt the mass public liek Linux!?

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (11 children)

    This is why I’ve yet to make the leap from windows. I just don’t have the technical chops nor spare time to make my OS a hobby.

    Not really the case with user-focused distros these days. I have far more driver woes when I have to deal with Windows.

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago (2 children)

    In fairness, I suck at Linux. Ubuntu and Linux Mint are relatively easier systems. No one I know has issues with Ubuntu fwiw

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (2 children)

    Mint broke all the time for me last time i tried using it. After reinstalling it for like the 8th time, I just decided to take a break from Linux. This was like 6 years ago though.

    Would change distro to something easier to maintain (like Arch for example), rice the experience to the oblivion, keep it forever :3

    [–] [email protected] 18 points 9 months ago (2 children)

    Easier to maintain... Arch?

    If OP managed to break a distro that releases once every 2 years and then only issues stable updates I don't think they'll cope well with a rolling distro.

    (that’s the joke, and then I replied with Gentoo being beginner friendly)

    Edit but you’re totally right, I wouldn’t be able to troubleshoot Arch or anything tougher

    Thanks, I’ll try Arch ^^ I hear Gentoo is also really beginner friendly

    Pffft. I just boot from a live cd so changes are gone at reboot. Why install if you're just going to break something?

    [–] [email protected] 13 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    My laptop's mic seems to have some contact issues. It never worked for a second on windows. I put Linux on it, and it usually just works. When it doesn't, some percussive maintenance does a quick job of fixing it. I guess I was dealt the opposite hand than usual.

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

    No, that's how it usually goes these days.

    If you reinstall enough things, enough times, it becomes a kink.
