  • 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.

    Whats better in cinnamon in your opinion?

    It's really similar to Windows in how you use it. Switching between Windows 11 and Cinnamon is as seamless as it can be.

    There's almost no configuration or anything necessary, you just install it and it's great.

    Got it. Thanks for elaborating.

    Same applies for Manjaro with KDE and on top of that it has support for wallpaper engine which I really wanted.

    cinnamon is lighter and simpler and looks more like the best version of windows (7)

    [–] haui_lemmy@lemmy.giftedmc.com 2 points 9 months ago

    Okay. I can see that. Thanks for elaborating.

    I can't see how looking like a 14 year old version of Windows (as opposed to a newer version) is an advantage for people coming from Windows.

    [–] tubaruco@lemm.ee 2 points 9 months ago

    windows 7 was simpler and lighter, and as far as i know, everyone i know prefers it over 10 or 11

    7 just worked better, had a lot less bloat, so people who liked it will be happy and nostalgic when they see something theyre used to

    It's very simple and stable

    [–] haui_lemmy@lemmy.giftedmc.com 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    I can see that. Thanks for explaining.

    [–] owen@lemmy.ca 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    Yeah np. For example my dad got bogged down by all the options and features in KDE, but cinnamon was great cause it just launches apps and shows the time lol

    Got it! I tend to forget that not everyone can deal with tons of options. I am this person in certain config files like synapse and telegraf. The config files are just impossibly long and getting an overview of them is impossible in my mind.
