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 users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • 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.
    • 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, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
    • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
    •  

    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 remove France.

    Unless computer companies include Linux with their PC's, it will never get general adoption.

    Ok, which version of Linux should go onto mass devices for users?

    I'm just going to grab some popcorn and stand over here....

    Several companies sell computers that have Linux by default, System76's Pop_OS! being one example.

    I get that its not a big brand like Dell or Lenovo (who I think sells some Linux laptops? Could be wrong), but they're out there and the distro is just gonna be dependent on the company selling the machines.

    There are one or two devices from Lenovo that get sold with Ubuntu, you have to reeeally look for them though (also it's only in the US I believe).

    • Slimbook offers Slimbook OS or whatever you pick from about a dozen.
    • Tuxedo Computers offers Tuxedo OS and Ubuntu.
    • NovaCustom also got about a dozen they preinstall.
    • Same with Star Labs.
    • System 76 of course got their own Pop!_OS.
    • Purism got PureOS as well as Qubes.
    • Laptops with Linux got a huge list.
    • Ubuntushop.be got, well Ubuntu. As well as a dozen others.
    • Minifree is more for nerds, offering Debian as well as BSDs. Also installs others if requested.
    • Nitrokey has Ubuntu, Qubes and Mint.
    • Framework also work heavily on Linux support, it seems they might offer preinstalls in the future.
    • I think there also are Juno Computers as well as Entroware if they're still in business. So yeah… lots of vendors with lots of choices. Most will probably either pick the default (in case of Slimbook or Tuxedo) or just Ubuntu, since they heard that name before.

    As an anecdote, Framework laptops work great with Fedora 41.
