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.

    Ow I can upgrade, I just blocked TPM motherboard side to stop windows from doing it.

    But in the end I really would like to give Linux a shot, these days I basically only play steam game or watch a movie, most of it should be easy enough nowadays in linux

    I put Mint on a PC for my dad because it's first thing easy for him to use and second a 32-bit machine and Mint the best choice I found that runs on that.

    Linux doesn't run what I need, getting some form of LTSC is my only option.

    Weird everyone suggests Mint, when it's way less user friendly then KDE Fedora. I mean, I guess on old hardware Mint is good, but anything newer (like the last 4-5 years) Fedora is pretty much set and forget.

    Same with gaming, Bazzite is a WHOLE lot better than Mint.

    Nah, not for me. I've known to use Windows OSes beyond their EOL support. I remember having still been on Windows XP while everyone else went to Vista and then to Win7. When I got to Win8, it was only because I bought another computer from a friend that had it, that was how I got upgraded.

    I don't abide by when Microsoft wants me to upgrade by, if they can pull their heads out of their asses (unlikely) for Windows 12, then I might consider.

    right? end of support has never meant end of useful life in my experience. I went from 98 to vista. don't inconvenience yourself is my main advice to people looking to switch. Shit I'll probably be installing win 10 LTSC at some point even though I'm all in on Linux as a daily driver already.
