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 users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • 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, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
  • Β

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    Linux Mint: The Better Ubuntu (tm)

    [–] Starbuncle@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

    I found that Pop!_OS (another Ubuntu fork) worked better with Nvidia crap out of the box. They both seem pretty good.

    [–] Zink@programming.dev 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

    I might have to give that one a try.

    My work machine with mint has an Intel iGPU and a discrete nvidia one and things seem pretty good, but I don’t really play games on it.

    [–] Starbuncle@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

    I can confirm that PopOS works well on devices with both an iGPU and an nvidia dGPU.

    [–] Echolynx@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    Would that be better for my system with a 4090 than Ubuntu? I've got Nvidia drivers installed now, but perhaps switching would be more of a pain.

    [–] Starbuncle@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

    I've never used Ubuntu and I don't have a 4090, so I am wholly unqualified to answer that question. My comparison was between Mint and Pop. That being said, Canonical has had its more than fair share of controversies in the past, so you'd probably want to avoid them if it's convenient to do so, all else being equal.

    Good shout, thank you.

    [–] Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (3 children)

    Never heard of it. If its so good you would think someone would be talking about it.

    You can't be serious, can you?

    [–] ikidd@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

    Pretty sure that's a joke, Lemmy's in love with Mint.

    [–] KrankyKong@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

    Must be one of those super obscure meme distros.

    [–] loudWaterEnjoyer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

    Pop_OS is actually quite popular.

    I've heard of that.
