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.

    Workrave. Does not work at all on Wayland. But I have been using Wayland the last two years and I am glad that I made the switch. The beginning was a bit rough, but I am glad that I never have to deal with screen tearing ever again on Linux.

    Of all the things, this confuses me the most.

    I've been using Linux almost exclusively (except for a stint of 6 years where my employer provided me with Macs, and even then my personal machinesiwere Linux). I've never had an NVidia, but my GPUs have ranged the rest of the options, mostly Intel and AMD. I haven't seen screen tearing since maybe the early 00s? So many Wayland advocates pick this one Xorg issue, and I haven't seen it in decades, and almost as many different computers.

    Is it NVidia? Is that the common factor? That's the only thing I can think of, since I've never had an NVidia card.
