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.

    Three steps for me.

    1. Linux on a laptop
    2. Dual boot on my main pc.
    3. Full switch done in spite after windows nuked my linux partition.

    Haha nice! Similar journey! My step 3 was when Win10 kept BSODing my games, and then being more subtly broken when I booted it up.

    "Okay, I'll just 'refresh this PC'." I said.

    "Can't." Said Win10.

    "Why not?" Says I.

    "Lol-idk" says Win10 with an indifferent shrug.

    OpenSUSE Tumbleweed runs all my creative artwork tasks AND all my games run beautifully. Just pointed Steam to the folder and it handled everything automagically.

    Game doesn't crash anymore on the same hardware, BTW.

    Tumbleweed my beloved. ❀️

    My steps:

    1. Think about dual-booting
    2. Try to install Nobara as dual-boot
    3. Fuck up Windows install
    4. Too lazy to reinstall Windows 5.???
    5. Now own Steam Deck, have old ThinkPad and PC running Fedora

    Not dissimilar - my three steps.

    1. Ran away from vista.
    2. Get a job at Microsoft and figured I should learn how to use a core product again (Windows 10).
    3. Dual boot for years (you never know when you will need to wake up the windows for some random task), until Win 11 and recall...
