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.
  •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!


    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've been using Linux for more than a decade now as my daily driver.

    Count me as 'basic' and 'just starting', because I quite like the colorful, clicky and nicely animated version, where I don't have to remember anything and that works just as well.

    And now out of my way, while I happily point, click and scroll to adjust my displays brightness, which is entirely possible through the terminal, but I'm not ridiculous or insecure enough for that.

    why doesn't my version have a launch button like the gif, btw? Genuine question. I have to launch it separately from SUPER+A every time

    A major factor is the window manager you use, and the settings of that window manager. I'm not up to speed with it, but I think this one is GNOME.

    Real Linux users don't install software using a mouse.
