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.

    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.

    I build my own systems. And I dont know what y'all are smoking but a typical windows installation has the complexity of opening a jar of pickles. Next next yes and away we go.

    Linux on the other hand..

    Now, if you want to debloat and install without a ms account then yes. But then... Really.... Who does that? (i mean of the typical windows users

    [–] Peasley@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

    Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenSuse, Debian, Mint are also next, next, yes

    But those pickle jars also use your monitor's native resolution

    Windows on the other hand..

    That's what I'm saying. Windows installation is idiot-proof. And I'm sure there's enough people who maintain their own systems or at the very least have had to install Windows for one reason or another that to say that "almost no one" who runs Windows installed it themselves is just the "Linux Master Race" talking.

    Avoiding MS account and many manual parts of the installation (opting out of shit) is like two clicks in Rufus before installation. Everyone should do it.

    Installing endeavourOS was easier than Windows because of all the ads you need to bypass and the telemetry options on Windows. The partitioning options on endeavourOS were easier too plus if necessary one can use a browser. The only difficulty there was on EndeavourOS which the Windows installer didn't have was picking a wm.

    That was the most complicated installer I've seen for a Linux distro beside arch32 which doesn't even come with archinstall.
