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!

    Nah, as an arch user most people don't likely need it. Mints a great option. No matter what you do with arch (even endeavor) there'll always be alot of setup, by design, and with how fast things move they'll break commonly. Like the grub issue a bit back, or the kernal that could have caused screens to die, or more recently the nvidia drivers forcing many screens to be stuck at one brightness.

    I love arch, it's a testing bed for the linux ecosystem. The first place where things exit beta and interact with each other in the wild. It's definitly not what most people want for a computer though especially not for work. That's why I duel boot with OpenSuse tumbleweed for my contract work (also, separating work and regular life makes things easier but that's not relevent)
