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!

    As long as you install and setup a DE for me!

    I actually don't get the fuzz/meme about Arch Linux. Yes, the installer drops you into a shell where you need to fix the keyboard layout for starters and the next thing is preparing enough disk resources for the OS which is somehow ungodly hard. My point is that if you can't then you are not qualified to maintain the installation, or actually RTFM and start to fr think what you do.

    I love gatekeeping Linux distros

    [–] JATtho@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

    Why would learning be gatekeeping? I wish I could just teach my secrets... The manuals are only a shallow guide to knowledge. E.g. ls, has condensed for me to ls -laR mostly, and that ls<tab> usually gives tools that list something. ch<tab> gives tools to "change something", like chmod. mk<tab> to "create something" mkdir etc.

    I may navigate in the terminal, but putting me at front of Blender etc. and I'm back to crawling speed of RTFM, and all I would see is a zoo of buttons.

    I've messed around with Linux before but, I can't seem to find the time to relearn how to get a thumb drive of an easy distro on one. One day I'll get the thing working.

    sudo dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sda of course

    Yes I'm familiar with some of these letters
