  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.

  • 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.

    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.

    Who the fucks tries to debloat windows?

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

    If you debloat Win10 and 11 your system will run better. Debloaters are aggressive to differing degrees (I recommend Chris Titus), but a lot of things are turned on by default that shouldn't be - like the Xbox service when you don't have an Xbox - using resources for no reason.

    If you are installing Windows with that route, you sure as hell won't be picking beginner friendly distro.

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago
    • The third route: install Win11 IoT Enterprise LTSC
    • The fourth route: install Gentoo

    English hard, apparently.

    I fucking hate this thing that's becoming more and more common. Obvious bad grammar and spelling mistakes in memes like this, it's become the rule rather than the exception in just the past year. And I'm certain it's rarely not done on purpose, it's the same with post and video titles both here, reddit, youtube etc. It gets clicks and comments and people fucking suck so they do it with no shame.

    Some people make mistakes when typing and miss them while proofreading and sometimes people aren't native English speakers.

    If I may ask, which spelling mistakes caught your eye specifically?

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

    Maybe "just to notice"

    But I'm not a native speaker so beware!

    Honestly I've found most distros pretty solid. It's just the software that can be buggy. Gnome for me crashes on gpu's with 4gb of vram, like the rx 5500 and 1650. Steam is better now but I remember the interface being very jank. Left clicking something just made the drop down menu disappear and not actually select it. A lot of programs still not scaling right on Wayland even tho xorg has been dead for years on years. Ect...

    But even with all these issues I've had recently and not so recently... Still so much better than windows

    mfs dont know about "O&O ShutUp 10++"

    Quite a few clients were unable to upgrade to Windows 11 on their current devices, I let them try out Linux Mint 22 Cinnamon edition and most of the switched over quite happily knowing it would let them do their daily tasks, the one's who needed specific tools or games I setup a VM desktop for them to play with.

    I have a PC with a version of Ameliorated Windows 10 on it. At a glance the project seemed promising, but then after install it did this thing where the lockscreen background is supposedly a blurred picture of the guy who made it. No matter how much I dug through the settings apparently I, as the owner of my PC, do not have high enough admin privileges to get rid of that despite my account being the administrator...? Pretty sus.

    On top of that the update process takes more effort, so I haven't updated the system in literally years. The whole situation overall leaves me unable to trust my own computer, but even that feels more trustworthy than the default Windows-is-malware experience.

    Next time I turn that PC on will be to install Debian.

    After months of trying, I still can't get Linux to recognize the 2.5Gbit network cards, or to function with multiple monitors. If the hardware support was better, I would ditch Windows for good instantly.
