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!


    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.

    I guess Fedora is ideal for gaming? But otherwise, is there a reason to use it rather than starting with Ubuntu and just install your own cutting edge features as you choose your own upgrade cycle? (Just the fact that they are all bundled together I suppose?)

    I'm ride-or-die Debian, but I switch to Fedora when I need a more recent package set.

    I do so to avoid Ubuntu/Snaps, which contains some closed proprietary bullshit, which I personally find to be a pain in the ass.

    That's a good point that we don't have to be locked into just one. Do you dual boot that? VM one inside another? Or probably you mean on different hardware?

    [–] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 2 points 23 hours ago

    Yeah. Usually different hardware, sometimes just virtualization.

    Thanks to the open container initiative (OCI), I haven't been tempted to dual boot in a several years.

    Veal: rewrite the source code in Rust without access to the code.
