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.

    I love this thread.

    Linux users constantly talk about how Linux just works and Windows is garbage, but then half these comments are talking about how you should buy an entirely different computer to make Linux run with FEWER issues.

    Windows may have it's problems, but I don't need to buy an entirely new PC to make it work. AMD, Nvidia, Intel, doesn't matter. It just works.

    Well Linux just works. Unless if you buy hardware from a company that actively tries to fuck you in the ass for using Linux

    What you're basically saying, is like whining that Windows doesn't run on a macbook

    So Linux doesn't "just work". People in here with PC hardware and claiming they have issues. The "solution" is to buy different hardware.

    Guess what? Both of those pieces of hardware just work on Windows.

    Cope, though.

    This thread is utterly braindead but nvidia users are not completely out of luck. Use the proprietary drivers with xserver instead of wayland and it works fine (speaking from personal experience). Xserver has it's own issues and will probably be phased out in favour of wayland in the future but hopefully by then, it will be able to support nvidia better.

    Or just use opensource drivers
