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.

    As someone who gradually went from arch to Manjaro to Ubuntu because I kept breaking my installs or not having time, this resonates lol.

    Manjaro likes to break on its own during updates in my experience

    The Arch Dilemma. If you never update the system, it will never break. To update without breaking you have to carefully check every package update, but it's time consuming. So you either spend time productively on an outdated but working and stable system or you spend time carefully keeping up a bleeding edge updated system.

    Or you take system snapshots so you can roll back when an update breaks.

    Garuda is an Arch distro that creates a system snapshot every time you upgrade. That way, if the upgrade breaks something, you can roll back to a previous, stable system.
