  • 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.

  • 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.

    Distro-hopped a lot till I landed on Manjaro with XFCE desktop environment. Been daily driving it for about a month now without any complaints. There is an option to install with NVIDIA drivers as well.

    Jut put my Mother on mint. Her windows 10 pc is reaching EOS, and I finally convinced her that having to buy a new computer every several years is unacceptable.

    God I hope there will be a good enough solution for professional audio stuff when Win 10 is done. This and when will the new proper CAD software.

    It sucks ass, but I don't see how one will be able to change to Linux in those spaces on a professional level. All my private stuff is on Linux systems, though.

    Try downloading and installing Tiny11.

    I have literally talked to one person at work, that he might want to try out Linux Mint in VM. Dude have never used Linux, but seems to be skilled enough to install it on his own.

    I put Mint on a PC for my dad because it's first thing easy for him to use and second a 32-bit machine and Mint the best choice I found that runs on that.

    or a distro using kde plasma.

    I tried mint for a little bit but ended up using Kubuntu.

    I’ve been learning Linux (Ubuntu) with an old Laptop a friend was going to throw away.

    I like it, but I’m not ready to switch. My biggest complaint… why the hell is it so hard to access an external drive??

    I eventually got it, but now I can’t for the life of me remember the command line I used to set access for the first one to set up another one.

    There may be an easier way to access the external drive, It depends on what you are bar is for difficult. Are we talking about a NAS or an external USB drive?

    What's your current method for connecting to it?

    Linux doesn't run what I need, getting some form of LTSC is my only option.

    [–] blaue_Fledermaus@mstdn.io 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    You can get the LTSC ISOs directly from Microsoft, and activate with https://massgrave.dev/

    Thanks for the link, that is where I will be going to do just that.

    I would use Linux if I could but sadly I can't.
