Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html

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.

Maybe I'm missing something, but what is the damage in this screenshot?

[–] [email protected] 46 points 7 months ago (1 children)

High background resource usage.

Ah, the light blue between the 2 lines is background usage? I wouldn't know, I use Arch btw :3

Thanks for asking. I'm using Debian and didn't know either. :p

I too have used arch btw. Currently using pop (deb) tho. I hop around from time to time.

Distro slut! /s

Stop distro shaming.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

how do you manage your system setup?

btw, moving from arch to pop is strange, you're supposed to go Gentoo or NixOS or LFS...

Nix was my next plan lol. My last distro suddenly had some file system corruption problems mid week when I needed it, so I had to switch to something quick without much time for configuration. So I decided to go for a preconfigured distro.

My next plan is Nix when I have some time.

As for how I back stuff up for frequent distro hopping: Firefox login syncs my browser stuff and passwords, steam syncs my game save files, I backup my home folder to a USB once in a while so I don't lose any local documents. I have private GitHub repos for some window manager, bar, etc configs I've made like sway, i3, polybar, awesomewm, etc., that I use when switching to more barebones distros.
