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 users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • 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.
  • 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, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
  • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.

    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 remove France.

    These days only the major ones. Like the H1/H2 updates. I agree there's zero excuse for it in the EFI boot world. But, Microsoft gotta Microsoft.

    Often you can just find the boot again in the bios and choose it. And that should be assured if you don't put grub and windows in the same EFI partition.

    Microsoft has always had his arrogant idea that the PC they're installed on belongs to them and will just delete anything else they find in the way.

    Why use something fragile like Windows?

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago (8 children)

    I have it as a dual boot option. But, it's not been booted since November. So I am assured I'll need to rerun grub when I do decide I need to boot it for something I cannot do in either Linux, or a Windows VM in linux (that's really a small number of things).

    I get you, even i have to keep Windows for music and stuff. But hopefully ill be able to ditch it if My VST vendor supports Linux.

    I appreciate it brother, but Native Access 2 on Linux refuses to run. I might have to look for other vendors who support WINE. If you have suggestions, do give some :)

    The album I just released was made with mostly open-source tools, in particular LSP, Calf Studio Gear, and x42 were all made for Linux, and the two non-FOSS plugins (Graillon and Acon Digital Multiply) ran fine with yabridge.

    Fr?! Woah, thats crazy! I think id better start looking for more VSTs than NI... thank you, and rock on !

    I'm not using VST. There's a few games I got on Microsoft store some years ago which there's no way (yet) to make run in Linux (at least to my knowledge). But, I don't feel that much need to play them. At least not enough to boot into windows, complete the huge updates likely waiting and then fix the grub install afterwards just to play a game.
