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!

    As a new and proud father of a Steam Deck I don't understand the fuss. Linux is easy and a lot of fun /s

    But Linux actually is easy and a lot of fun!

    It's just that choosing a distro like Arch that requires you to decide what software you want to install might be a bad idea for someone who doesn't know yet what software they need.

    Installing a distro like openSUSE is straight forward and easy through their graphical installer, albeit not exactly quick (at least not compared to Arch) and allows you to explore Linux at your own pace.

    Using the SteamDeck was also very easy but maybe that was just because I daily drive Arch? At least getting EmuDeck to run is just point and click.
