- 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.

MODERATORS
Out of curiosity, is there a reason why your machine is called Pearl-II instead of something like Peridot? I also like your names btw
Well, since I started using the naming scheme, I have several lines of machines. Pearl-II (MacBookPro11,1; 2014) is the successor of Pearl (MacBook2,1; 2007), both of which are part of the Pearl line.
Lengthy explanation
Essentially:
I also use the diamonds for my family's devices, if I need to assign hostnames; and Jasper for any Windows devices or VMs I have to use.
Also, I only bought three of these devices: Garnet, Peridot, and Larimar. The rest I was given by my uncle over the course of about a decade. Essentially, whenever a line gets an upgrade, the other lines rearrange. For example, when I was given Pearl-II last month, it replaced Amethyst as the machine I take to sixth form, so Amethyst replaced Lapis, Lapis replaced the original Pearl, and the original Pearl was retired.
Before I started using this, I just used to use random names that had something to do with the OS, so my ThinkPad was "Nemesis" and my main machine was "Archangel".
