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!

    Root directories are no go unless you specifically ask to change them. If you're developing it's a lot easier if you can depend on all the programs and dependencies to be the same in the same directories.

    It's like getting a system how you like it and burning it to dvd.

    The changes from distro to distro are how they handle your changes. More specially how do we undo changes if it goes wrong

    There are a few ways to handle changes some swap from image A to image B like vanilla os

    Some just use their rollback image tech they have in standard distros like opensuse aeon .

    Some like fedora silverblue use images that pull from a repo if you've used docker this might seem familiar.

    From silverblue you have ublue project that really pushes the container ethos your distro becomes a host to ask sorts of containers kinda like proxmox.

    The end of the day it's like distros a collection a packages with the essential stuff locked in a non writeable directory.

    I hope this is clear sorry I'm dyslexic and it's bedtime
