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!

    Use arch if you want more compatibility. Debian is stable but it also means their official package repository will lag behind some feature that is present on the bleeding edge. IMHO, stability is good if you are already familiar with Linux AND want it that way, but with windows compatibility in its current state (emphasis there), it is better to go bleeding edge for new users since you are transitioning anyway, you might as well try the latest feature available. Also, the biggest game changer, valve and steam, is basing their OS on Arch.

    That explains why people talk about Arch so much lately.
