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.

    compared to clicking "next" on Fedora, Debian, or Mint

    I'd say using a simple straightforward GUI is much easier than an arcane combination of commands and keypresses

    Wait, did we just reach a point where a command line input is needed for Windows and Linux just needs to press a few buttons??

    I can't find it now, but there was a meme about that here. How 20 years ago vs present the two are flipped.

    Only if you don't count installing drivers

    Well, I didn't say it should be ranked towards the bottom lol, if we want to make this graph accurate it would be below arch but above "Windows the normal way"

    If you install arch with the archinstall script you basically get a setup wizard

    And installing a Microsoft-account-free Windows install is only the first step of de-bloating the system. So I'd say debloated Windows in somewhere between Arch and Gentoo
