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.

    Whats better in cinnamon in your opinion?

    [–] rikudou@lemmings.world 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

    It's really similar to Windows in how you use it. Switching between Windows 11 and Cinnamon is as seamless as it can be.

    There's almost no configuration or anything necessary, you just install it and it's great.

    Same applies for Manjaro with KDE and on top of that it has support for wallpaper engine which I really wanted.

    Got it. Thanks for elaborating.

    cinnamon is lighter and simpler and looks more like the best version of windows (7)

    [–] haui_lemmy@lemmy.giftedmc.com 2 points 1 year ago

    Okay. I can see that. Thanks for elaborating.

    I can't see how looking like a 14 year old version of Windows (as opposed to a newer version) is an advantage for people coming from Windows.

    [–] tubaruco@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

    windows 7 was simpler and lighter, and as far as i know, everyone i know prefers it over 10 or 11

    7 just worked better, had a lot less bloat, so people who liked it will be happy and nostalgic when they see something theyre used to

    It's very simple and stable

    [–] haui_lemmy@lemmy.giftedmc.com 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    I can see that. Thanks for explaining.

    [–] owen@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Yeah np. For example my dad got bogged down by all the options and features in KDE, but cinnamon was great cause it just launches apps and shows the time lol

    [–] haui_lemmy@lemmy.giftedmc.com 1 points 1 year ago

    Got it! I tend to forget that not everyone can deal with tons of options. I am this person in certain config files like synapse and telegraf. The config files are just impossibly long and getting an overview of them is impossible in my mind.
