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!

    Everyone always forgets the "it just works," easy, normie distributions like Fedora. I guess people figure if you're looking for an OS like that, you might as well just use Windows, but I'd rather not.

    There's something to practicing with the operating system family that most big commercial outfits use. Plus SELinux is neat, and there's no Canonical ads.

    I use Fedora with home-manager, btw. After using Arch and Debian for years I really think Fedora (or adjacent like Nobara) is on its way to being the de facto starter distro.

    I've seen Fedora lauded for being so responsive, and I'd probably go for that over the super bloated Ubuntu. I know it's not debloated either but that is preferable over dealing with Arch which needs a lot of tinkering time which eats into my work time.
