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.

    I switched to it not even three months ago, after two years on arch and I'm not going back. Just as if not more configurable than arch and it's actually harder to bloat with something and then forget about it, since you always have user-readable description of your current system.

    Although, it's possible to bloat it unknowingly: networkmanager, for example, depends on a few VPNs noone would ever need, and one of them depends on webkitgtk, so you actually have to mkForce modules to include only the necessary stuff. Not like that's a huge issue, but I wasn't amused when I saw "building webkitgtk" while cross-compiling 😆
