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, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    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 fork-bomb your computer.

    Saving your comment for later, when people who know far more than either of us tell you why that's a horrible idea.

    I wouldn't take too seriously anyone saying it's a horrible idea. I mean, I think you could always argue it's a waste of resources running a GUI for a thing intended to be a server. But headless servers aren't the end all be all. I'm sure there's a lot of licensed redhat instances out there running gnome or whatever because reasons.

    Personally I wouldn't do it unless some hard necessity were there because it's just another thing that could go wrong, another thing to maintain if you're capturing your config as code, and mostly because I'm not gonna dedicate a keyboard/monitor for that kind of stuff.
