  • 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.

    After two weeks on arch, nvidia driver updates have broken shit twice already.

    But that's the arch way and I chose the arch way.

    In 5 years on arch I have never had an nvidia driver update break anything.

    [–] nottheengineer@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

    I had it screw my system so hard it didn't boot and I had to use the installer to uninstall the driver and boot with the generic one. A couple days later it broke steam and the advice on the arch forums was to downgrade, which I did (to a version before the one that didn't let me boot).

    Now here I am, with an nvidia driver that's intentionally outdated because the current version is broken. Just like on windows.

    I always thought it might be hardware related. So far i have always bought AMD cards and had no issues.
