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 just lost my OS again (probably corrupted drive) and was planning to distro hop. Unfortunately, I suspect you're right.

    It's Arch for me. I just can't leave

    Endevouros is actually very user friendly, and arch based. like manjaro but better and less bloated.

    Mint is great, i'd say stick to it if it's working! :P

    Unless you want to branch out, I don't think it's much of a failure to return back home to a "noob distro." To my eyes no such thing exists, they are just working operating systems and there's nothing noob or beginner about that

    I do use Arch, but because I've had bad luck with (proprietary) OS's in general, so being able to choose exactly what to install and being able to fix it myself (if something ever happens) is something I value a lot. But I will say it takes a delicate type of nerd to handle that 🤣
