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!

    Right... The only reason you use faster more secure software is...you have to?

    Well, I kinda dig this, I'm using lubuntu and it's certainly better in some ways than windows, and I couldn't play games on this thing anyway so it's not like I'm loosing functionality, when I get a new pc I'll certainly install some different distro and try it out

    Gotcha.

    I just installed lubuntu on an old laptop this weekend actually. It ran like a top but for me that desktop environment is clunky so I ended up using Fedora on that machine and so far it is working well. That machine has only a 32 gb HD.. so my options were limited.

    I like gnome a lot personally, and one distro I've had a lot of luck with that comes with gnome by default is pop_os, so I would recommend that when you upgrade! Just as a generally well configured (and still lightweight when compared to windows) distro. Just about anything that supports Ubuntu runs on it without much if any fuss too
