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.
    •

    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 fork-bomb your computer.

    I've finally stopped distrohopping. I'm now on nobara (used arch before that btw), and don't feel the urge, nor have the energy to distrohop, even though I want to find out what's so great about nix. That said, I still only use my computer for movies, games, and browsing, so I guess the meme still stands.

    Same. I want to try NixOS, or immutable distros, or a fully containerized system, and I've been meaning to give Gentoo a shot for years as well (I'm not suffering enough on Endeavor, btw). I even got a second drive just so I don't have to throw my current setup away, but I'm just so comfy and everything just works and it'll be so much work to actually give a new system a fair shot.

    Is nobara better then mint? This is someone with little Linux knowledge who is on windows 10 but refuses to use 11

    Personally I prefer a rolling release or at least a bleeding edge distro, so nobara works great for me. If your laptop or computer has any latest components that are not already supported in the lts kernel, then you can try nobara, but if not, you can use mint with no issues. I would even say mint is the best starting point to Linux coming from Windows. It has all necessary things configured and ready to go, including automatic backups of the system for recovery purposes.
