- 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.

sudoin Windows. - No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts

6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures
We 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.

- 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.

TBH both gnome and KDE are broken piles of crap. Cinnamon and XFCE are the only good DE's left out there (at least for xorg, idk about wayland).
I'd at Mate to the list as well.
All DEs are jank. The only good DE is the tiling wm I put 10k lines of config into.
Don't get me wrong, that's also janky, but it's my ~~fault~~ jank.
Yes but what if you need to set up a computer for public use at a community center or a library or something? You shouldn't expect the visitors to know your custom config. Until there's a tiling WM that also has GUI elements that enforce the principle of discoverability, I think off-the-shelf DE's are the only viable option for this usecase.
Sorry, I though my comment was sufficiently self-humerous π
Of course custom configs are not suitable for anyone but the config-urator. Hence, custom configs :D
XFCE and Cinnamon its in the Desktop as a experimental option
Last time i tried XFCE, i had a terrible experience
But that might be because i was playing minecraft with 300 mods on a laptop that could barely open the launcher
