Sister communities:


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!

    Im about to take the same plunge into Linux. Any tips for a new comer?

    There are no wrong answers, don't listen to people saying "this is better" or "do it this way". Maybe it'll help, but maybe it'll make you not like the community. If that's the way you feel, just do whatever you need to to get something to work.

    There's a lot of choice, so make a choice and stick to it, but at the same time be open to change.

    Also make backup of your data

    Maybe there are no wrong answers, but there are definitely some answers that are more correct than others. This is the most correct answer.
