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!

    Got a new laptop at work this summer and also got updated from win10 to win11 at the same time. I don't understand why everything is so much slower on win11 ! Starting the system use to be 30s now it's 3 minutes. Opening file explorer, slow. Opening a picture, slow. Opening an almost empty Excel sheet, guess it's time for coffee. Switching desktop views, omg soooo slow!

    haven't you heard, they're moving Windows to the cloud now, everything on your computer would be uploaded to a specified azure server and all local versions deleted, your ssd would become a ram + cache partition, you'll own nothing and you'll be happy

    Well, my work computer is pretty much that already. My company is full-on Google suite. We are not supposed to store any files on the computers, we don't have any back-ups for the computers' storage. Everything is supposed to be on Google Drive and 90% of the work is done with Google Docs, Sheets, Slides.

    I think many big companies would be very happy if they could have a key-in-hand solution with laptops as "user-terminals" with all processing and files handled in a cloud. Of course there are some important considerations like confidentiality, cybersecurity and GDPR. Network/electricity is another one, but this is already the case today that almost no work can be done in either of these situations.
