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 users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • 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.
  • 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, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
  • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
  • Β 

    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 remove France.

    ...and it went very smoothly. I installed on a spare PC for now, but I could absolutely see this becoming my daily driver. I'm mostly surprised at how snappy and responsive it is, even on 10 year old hardware!

    You guys are living in a bubble.

    I keep trying and trying. The UX isn't great.

    Pinch to zoom is non-existent. Scrolling on a trackpad , the systememulates a mouse and isn't smooth when you scroll. Scrolling in browsers vs in file systems is totally a different experience.

    Forget about scrolling in the browser using the touch screen. It emulates a left mouse click hold. No, that is not what is expected when I'm browsing a web page and put my finger on the screen. I expect it to respond like how my phone browser responds. Never once have I ever needed to left mouse hold when I swipe a browser screen.

    The list goes on. From a convoluted navigation in the menu and a need to install apps using terminal.

    I keep trying and trying. But if you can't convince a tech forward person like myself, how will you convince a normie?

    I haven't tried all the distros. But I shouldn't have too. These UX systems should be standard across all distros.

    There is some laptop hardware that isnt well supported, it is annoying but it is what it is people are writing drivers for a lot of stuff but it doesnt compare to having manufacturers actually support their hardware.

    As for convoluted menu and installing apps via terminal thats user error. Linux is for those that are willing to learn and if people cant use an app store and get frustrated when they see a different menu they're beyond reach.
