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!

    Honestly, I've only ever had problems with Wayland so far. So many times when I look up the issue tracker for a software I'm having issues with, the solution is always "switch to a DE that uses Xorg."

    I get that it's not a mature software yet, but neither should people be pushing to use it until it is.

    "Here, switch to this software! Except it doesn't support half of the features of the old one and it never will. Why? Uhhhh idk security or something. What was that? Will we add a way to securely allow these things? Lol no"

    What features are you talking about?

    People say this all the time but can never give any actual examples.

    Screensavers! I know they're technically pointless in the modern era but dammit they make me happy

    that's not true either, nobody has bothered to port them but there's nothing stopping you, this is also not a closed wontfix for security reasons thing at all.

    all you'd need to do is use layer-shell, it really wouldn't be difficult at all, but nobody cares.

    edit: nvm it exists already https://sr.ht/~mstoeckl/wscreensaver/

    There really isn't even one thing is there?
