- 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
sudoin 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.

How is letting you brick your install with little warning an advantage?
rm -rf / you dont have permission to do that.
sudo rm -rf / [linux dutifully commits sudoku until rm itself is gone]

The duck should be Linux Mint, the only linux distro thats never given me an issue on any computer I used in my life. Sometimes I contemplate turning off timeshift because its been years since i've needed it and the 30-50gb space could be better used.

It's actually pretty easy to permanently disable updates in Windows.
- Go to Services.msc
- Find Windows Update Services
- Changed it to Disabled
Done.

You can't delete system apps on Android, but you can disable the ones that won't break your phone if they're disabled. I currently have Chrome, the Play Store (and, at least to an extent, Google Play Services), YouTube, and YouTube Music all disabled.

Just installed Ubuntu today for the first time in at least a decade. Touchpad two-finger scrolling is so sensitive. Thereβs no setting for it. I have to replace the driver with the synapse one, if my laptop supports it.
You can delete system apps on Android with ADB. Doesn't even need root.
