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.
    • ย 

    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.

    How?

    No dual boot here, Windows is confined to a VM. Even in the ancient times I had dual boot, last century, Linux was always the default.

    [โ€“] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    There's also the possibility of selecting the last booted OS by default instead of a specific entry

    [โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

    I'm glad I never found that option. ;)

    [โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    That is all good and fine, unless you need it to interact with hardware, which I do.

    [โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    Then still you can set Linux as default. Lilo had an option to reboot with an option to set a 1 time default. (that was neat) On dual boot hardware, I always set the one I want to default boot, which is in my case always Linux. (must still have a dual boot laptop somewhere)

    Linux is my first option, I just need to have a second (Windows). And grub also has the boot once thing, but it doesn't work with BTRFS ๐Ÿคท.

    [โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    I don't trust btrfs. Software that relies on not breaking is b0rken in my opinion. (Unless they finally fixed that)

    [โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

    Yeah, it doesn't break any more. Rock solid the past few years, not a single problem.
