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.

    It's been a while since I've used GIMP, but I recall even loading it on Linux taking over a minute.

    Sometimes it does take a few seconds for me as well, but not even close to a full minute. That must’ve been on an HDD, right?

    It's never taken more than like 2 seconds to open on any of my computers

    It’s been a while, so it may have been on a HDD.

    Takes a while for me on Linux too. No idea if it's longer on Windows

    Opened it just now on Fedora. It took less than 2 seconds.

    It’s been years since I’ve used GIMP. It may have been on a HDD, but I can’t remember.
