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.

    edit: for anyone curious, the problem was Xorg wasnt loading or something (stuck on systemd 'graphical interface target reached' with no graphical interface). because of a typo in a config file.

    I guess the "small bug" is that you have microsoft windows on the drive for dual booting. Otherwise I wouldn't know what sort of bug you'd get rid of like this.

    I have some Linux servers in hyper v virtual machines and i just revert then to a previous snapshot if I mess anything up instead of bothering with diagnosing what I did 🙃

    literally about to do this today. Ubuntu->Fedora

    I recently fucked a system because I wanted to resize the swap partition. Started throwing time after trying to recover. Realized that even if I succeeded, I'd have spent more time recovering than it would take to reestablish a new system, and no important data was on the system.

    Haven't needed to do either yet since I started using #EndeavourOS. I'm a bit surprised, given how many posts I've seen about people bricking their Arch installs.

    People who use arch tend to wonder how other people manage to break arch so hard and often. At least that's been my experience since I started using arch.

    Yeah I've been on it a solid 5-6 months and the only issue I had was on initial setup I forgot NetworkManager or lost it somehow. That was literally the only issue. Been less issues than Windows since.

    I mean I've had no end of problems, generally created and fixed by me. But none of them have raised to the level of breaking my machine or operating system. I guess I did upset it by giving fstab bad info, but it's not like I managed to uninstall system packages or something.
