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!


    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.

    Where about does Debian land on this bell curve? Asking for a friend.

    Ubuntu is lame. OP conveniently missed LM (desktop users) and Debian (servers)

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Ahh I forgot Linux Mint! Should have put it in there or maybe Pop!_OS. Debian is fantastic for servers of course.

    Mint has always been my go-to grandma-friendly system. I remember using it when I was in my single-digit years. Most intuitive operating system ever. :)

    To be honest, I think most people should start with Linux Mint. So good. I don't even have to think much after installing.

    I started out with Elementary, then went the typical "I use Arch BTW" route (and for a time, Gentoo), and right now I'm happy and content with Fedora's simplicity

    It seems like a lot of linux users are fond of jumping around different distros, do they all automate the setup process with a bash file that installs and configures everything quickly? 🙃

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    I think so. That, as well as putting /home on a different partition in order to just replace the OS but not lose data

    Why is a wizard on the right using a nice easy distro? Wouldn't he be more of an LFS kind of guy?
