Community Rules

You must post before you leave

Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

Block or ignore posts, comments, and users that irritate you in some way rather than engaging. Report if they are actually breaking community rules.

Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.

Most 196 posts are memes, shitposts, cute images, or even just recent things that happened, etc. There is no real theme, but try to avoid posts that are very inflammatory, offensive, very low quality, or very "off topic".

Bigotry is not allowed, this includes (but is not limited to): Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Sexism, Abelism, Classism, or discrimination based on things like Ethnicity, Nationality, Language, or Religion.

Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.

Proselytization, support, or defense of authoritarianism is not welcome. This includes but is not limited to: imperialism, nationalism, genocide denial, ethnic or racial supremacy, fascism, Nazism, Marxism-Leninism, Maoism, etc.

Avoid AI generated content.

Avoid misinformation.

Avoid incomprehensible posts.

No threats or personal attacks.

No spam.

If you want to be environmentally friendly or don't have much money, get a used laptop. If you want the best performance, get a gaming laptop. If you want Linux but don't enjoy messing with computers, or want a decently repairable laptop for a decent price, or just want to support them, get a system76 laptop. If you want very easy repairability or to support the general right to repair, get a framework laptop.

They all have their own niche, even when you want to install Linux.

I'm currently ordering a used Chromebook to try to install Tiny11 on it. If it doesn't work, I'm only out fifty dollars plus shipping.
