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!

    I did last night. Tried Fedora for a couple of days to just "diversify" my shit, but nope, the laptop kept waking up to a black screen every single time I opened the lid. Was like you know what fuck you, let me install Arch. It's now running perfectly.

    But.. but arch is supposed to be broken. What do you mean it just works?

    [–] donut4ever@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Whoever says that is either just a hater/bitter or just never tried Arch. I DOES just work. I've had it on my desktop for a whole year now. I have never had to use timeshift to restore. I never had to spend all day to fix shit. It just worked this whole time. One thing that annoys me about it is the constant updates I get. Lol. But I just ignore them and do it once a week or so.

    Been using Arch mostly for 12 years here. It has always ran the best out of the box next to Ubuntu/Mint for me. And Arch seems to age even better than Ubuntu after a few releases break your shit.

    I maybe had a single Ubuntu release that worked out of 6. So it always lastet a year or so. Since Arch Linux, I never really needed to reinstall anything.
