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 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.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    I have a deck, a few old laptops that have all gone Linux now, and a windows desktop for gaming. The deck being so good, and Windows 11 being so bad, has nearly convinced me to try Linux on the actual desktop.

    I think there are still a few games and applications (I'm primarily a C# dev for work) that I "need" Windows for but the case for dropping as much MS from my life as possible has never been stronger.

    I do C# dev for work also but use Linux. You'll have to use Rider for Visual Studio and Datagrip for Sql Server Management Studio. Only drawback I have is that Edit and Continue only works on dotnet > 8.0.

    You might need to do a tiny bit of extra support for the launchsettings.json since you'll need to launch with kestrel server instead of IIS Express.

    Legacy dotnet will need an old Ubuntu/Whatever so some docker knowledge may be required since MS didn't release a snap/flatpak of dotnet yet. ๐Ÿ–•

    I use Linux for gaming and dev with a highly customized KDE+bash setup and I love it. :)

    I can't speak for everyone but I used to say "I can't drop windows because I need XYZ programs all the time".

    Well turns out I don't, and turns out it's surprisingly easy to tell my employer (well my professor really, I am a PhD student) "Sorry I can't run that program, I don't have windows". If they don't accept it, they can supply me with a windows PC.
