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, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 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

  • 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.

    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.

    Try kubuntu. It uses (the imo much nicer) KDE instead of gnome.

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    I'm planning to switch away from Kubuntu after using it for at least a decade on my desktop and laptop machines. The whole snap thing gets annoying. Yes, I can override it, I know, but...effort. I'm planning to just go to Debian.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

    Just get KDE from the horse's mouth then and use KDE Neon. Ubuntu packages, but snapd isn't even installed by default. It also ships with rolling release stable KDE, but isn't rolling release otherwise.

    I'm not clear on the benefit of that over just running Debian. And aren't there concerns about Canonical?

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

    It just means your KDE version is newer, it's also the distro made by the KDE devs. I'm not too worried about canonical, they're annoying, but it rarely affects me.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

    TIL KDE has their own official distro.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    however, KDE neon.

    do i have to elaborate?

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    I didn't know neon was based on Ubuntu as well, neat.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

    it's very poggers

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Thanks for the suggestion.
    I have only ever tried Gnome (and a quick test of ElementaryOS and ZorinOS), but maybe it is time to try another DE.

    The best thing about this....

    You can do Ubuntu AND still install KDE

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Yeah exactly.

    Not too fond of snap, but am trying KDE Neon now, as I'm a "experienced rookie", but still have never tried any other DE than Gnome..

    Oh to be young and in love...

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

    Having used KDE Neon for 10 minutes, I've had no issues with the trackpad..

    If this is Ubuntu or KDE, dunno, but liking it so far .

    That's not using Ubuntu which is what the user wanted.
