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.
  • 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, <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.

    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.

    Are you me?! Also just migrated to Mint, and I'm really impressed. Good level of polish, and stuff just works out of the box.

    Currently still have it on dual boot, I'll give it a week or two and I don't need Windows in that time I'll move it to my main M2 SSD and ditch M$

    I tried it from a USB drive first and when I saw how easy it is I just took the leap and fully switched.

    My biggest worry was gaming but even there was no problem at all

    Same story! The improvements in the gaming sphere really need to be experienced to be believed. But okay, Steam works great, we know that.

    What about stuff that requires EA's launcher through Steam? Works.

    EA exclusive stuff? Heroic Launcher. Works.

    GoG? Heroic Launcher.

    Ahh, but old disc games that Windows decided to just stop caring about anymore? Bottles. (Not 100% guarantee, but I've been IMPRESSED at how easy it was to get something like Sims 1 to play.)

    ~~Hotel? Trivago.~~

    Now I just hope the Monado project can make some leaps so we can get WMR devices working on Linux. VR is super neat and I don't wanna leave it behind completely. :( (Still grudging against M$ so hard for that.)
