  • 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.

    totally anecdotal.... but i've installed debian on a bunch of different machines and i've never had to "prepare additional installation media" for any weird hardware/firmware/drivers.... i just installed the base system and connected ethernet if any non-free stuff is needed. has anyone ever come across an ethernet interface that didn't work out of the box? maybe it didn't work 100%, but at least good enough to download the proper firmware to fix?

    Well, my laptop doesn't have an ethernet port. When it happened to me (not on Debian, I think Mint or something), I didn't even use a phone OS that was capable of sharing my internet via USB. Fun times.

    My old ThinkPad has non working ethernet. When I moved it to Debian after Ubuntu made 32 bit hard a non-free USB was by far the best way to get online

    Is the joke supposed to be that vegans can't read instructions?

    If you disable cache.nixos.org you too can have gentoo but with nixos 😏

    Fake. What about installing the GPU drivers?

    If you know what your doing you can install arch faster than debian or fedora

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

    But I don't know what I'm doing

    "Vegan" lmfaoo

    I've had Ubuntu and derivative distros break on me infinitely more times than I've ever had Arch or its derivatives break at all.

    Usually going from one major update of *buntu/Pop based distro to another.

    Using Endeavour ATM, but tempted to give NixOS a crack and see what it's like...

    I am a vegan with a manbun, but I use Fedora.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

    I started installing it about a year and a half ago and I think it's still not finished. The best distro is the one you can using during installation.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

    I use cloister by the way.
    It's like arch but you reinstall it at least 10 times in a row before you get anywhere.
