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.
  •

    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.

    Installing debloated windows is not difficult at all.

    And how difficult is it to keep it debloated? MS seems to be hellbent on pushing their crap into everyone's face.

    Every Windows apologist: "I will keep current on the hacks to fix it forever, easy."

    I'm glad I invested the time learning Linux before I had kids and now have no time for anything.

    I hope you don't think I'm being a Windows apologist. I'm not defending Windows itself, I'm just saying that it isn't that hard to debloat it.

    Understood, sorry to imply that you were.

    [–] shadowedcross 1 points 1 day ago

    It's been fine for me so far.

    I would say it is, it's extra installation steps. Fedora I just click a handful of buttons and the OS is installed with no Spyware
