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!

    Use flatpak

    Also how do you know snap will stay removed? I wouldn't be surprised if it magically came back. Might as well use something that's a little more respectful of your rights. Pop OS or Fedora seem like good choices if you just want gnome wayland. If you want KDE go for Fedora KDE

    I moved to Fedora kde. Smaller, newer packages(kde 6), and wayland updated.

    There is no reason to fight Ubuntu, just pick something that is not against your priorties. I came from Windows 10 and there was a lot of fighting for respecting user choice.

    I would never use dnf Fedora again, it is an unstable mess.

    I am on Kinoite since a year or more? Works great. Fedoras Packages are awesome, stable and often better than Uwuntu or OpenSUS

    But dnf upgrades simply were extremely unreliable.

    It doesnt matter how your distro looks, thats the desktop.

    It matters how it backups, upgrades, recovers.

    Use timeshift on your brtf partions. Also dnf5 is soon coming and going to be default.

    So far no problem at all for me. It is also pretty fast to reinstall if needed.
