- 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
sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
- Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
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.

We 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.

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.

When I feel like it π might be a couple of times a day I'm fixing the system, or it might be a month since last time π€·
xbps-install -Su usually when a regular xbps-install fails due to cert issues every few months
I update my Arch desktop about once a week, laptop with Mint probably about once a month and server with OMV a few times a week.
For my Manjaro systems, I usually check the forums and after I see a new stable update is posted I'll do an update in the next few days. Sometimes I'll check between the big updates for things like browsers or other occasional high priority updates that get posted between the big updates, but usually only if I'm having a problem or have some other reason to do this.
I think its been a month or two lol. Unless I wanna download something new I tend to just stick with whatever I have atm.
Every few daysβI seem to have endless libraries that have constant updates.
i run sudo xbps-install -Su whenever i remember to, and flatpak update whenever there's a new Krita version
Daily, I use Arch by the way
