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.

    So many things I'd rather do than go back to Windows (sh.itjust.works)

    I primarily use Linux and boot into Win 10 as needed. That said, what's worse about 11? Never used it.

    • Baked in advertising and telemetry.
    • Resources hog.
    • Desperate attempts to get you to use Edge.
    • Decides to auto install bloat for you and continues to do it throughout its life cycle, like their AI cooilot and Dev Home.
    • Fresh installs are filled with bloat incl services.
    • Decides that it knows what you want to do better than you.

    My laptop just had a hardware failure and I'm borrowing my partner's and had to uninstall the same bloatware 2-3 times today on a new profile (literally shit like ads for software downloads, solitaire and the MS Office extended universe). The rage is real. I usually use tools to strip windows if I need to use it, but I can't on this one.

    Here is the tool I use. It's a 10/10. https://github.com/LeDragoX/Win-Debloat-Tools

    Update: Pulling the trigger, this shit is literally slow enough to make it unusable. I am doing him a favour at this point.
