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!

    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.

    What’s a daily driver?

    [–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 7 points 9 months ago

    A device you can comfortably use in your everyday life to do what you would want from such a device. In this case a phone you can do telephone calls with, write instant messages, take photos, browse the internet, play some games. And everything without the battery dying on you. And in a manner that is not too hacky ir frustrating.

    It is possible to daily drive a Pinephone. But it's not a pleasant experience. It's better suited for unpleasant tinkering.

    The device you use every day.

    The origin is that your “daily driver” is your car for commuting to work, presumably to differentiate it from your sports car or farm truck.
