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.

    That's the thing, most desktop distros come with a web browser preinstalled, but:

    • It's usually firefox or librewolf, which are objectively superior to edge in any scenario.
    • You can uninstall it right away with either a three word command or open a program with a big red "uninstall" button, no console needed.
    • Nothing breaks, the system literally doesn't give a fuck if you even have a web browser at all.
    • If you want another browser then go for it! You can even use edge if you're a psychopath. Your system wont judge you, but i might sorry-
    • It will never reinstall crap you uninstalled and set it the default on a random mandatory system update.

    Yeah my comment was misunderstood. I was primarily referring to Debian, which installs ESR. If you want the up to date version, you have to add repos and such.

    I would argue the entirety of debian is one big "ESR" so it's not out of place. If you want latest releases of software then Debian is not the droid you are looking for.
