  • 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.

    So many things I'd rather do than go back to Windows (sh.itjust.works)

    Learning the shortcuts for multiple workspaces was a game changer for me in Windows.

    Win + Ctrl + D to create a new virtual desktop

    Win + Ctrl + ArrowRight or ArrowLeft to move to the next desktop

    Win + Tab to arrange all Windows and desktops

    Also dragging your window to the top to place it in a corner seems nice.

    At home I'll always use Linux but for a work PC I can live with Windows.

    Until you use a Microsoft office application and it is fundamentally broken with virtual desktops. If you try to open a document on one desktop it'll switch to another if you had a different document open. There's little glitches throughout the entire experience that make it so mediocre.

    But imagine, if you could just press win+number and then go to the exact workspace you want! Which KDE Plasma allows you to do.

    I seriously cant get used to using win+ctrl+arrows. If i could change this, and with powertoys windows would not be that bad.

    There's something called SylphyHorn that helps sort out some of this. Unfortunately for me it's broken on my work computer because of something in their security software.
