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.

    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 think I'm stupid as I don't get this at all. I've never used a distro that doesn't work. They all work. Some are more advanced, some are more stable, some are more polished, some even look and behave like Windows, but fundamentally they are work.

    I like Ubuntu.

    As a mint user, I can confirm that I still don't know where the start button is.

    I had a girlfriend who used Debian back around 2005.

    Never have I been around an OS that didn't work as often as Debian. It wouldn't crash, but need to be updated or something every hour. It was a full time job keeping it running for her.

    I'm currently just after the fedora stage so far. Guess I better go try Gentoo.

    I am a Debian unstable user who used to use Gentoo, the reason I stopped using Gentoo is revdep-rebuild. Do not want to do another revdep-rebuild ever again.

    As an Ubuntu weanie why should I swap?

    [–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    it can get resource hungry but nothing even close to windows.

    But as others said: Try another distro if you like to try new things - otherwise just use what works for you.

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago (2 children)

    Yea that makes sense. I've been curious about Arch given how many resources there are for learning it. Weirdly enough I know two people who have tried it, one said it was the easiest setup they've ever done and the other said it bricked their laptop.

    There is nothing wrong with using Ubuntu if it works for you.

    +1 for Debian here, but I'm on KDE.

    I still love Debian to bits and pieces but I can't convince me to use it as a daily driver again. And I used it as such for nearly a decade.

    My main issue is the software being dated. Yes, there are backports, and with flatpak support we can circumvent that even better but... no.

    Lol. Arch for desktop, Debian for servers is where it's at, IMO.

    I'm on Ubuntu. A week ago I had to look up how to use a python script. I wouldn't even hide porn that much.
