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.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 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

    I'm talking about the Linux ecosystem as a whole. You can always only get a few good things, but no distro ticks literally all possible boxes. Mint is really close, yet they decided to embrace the objectively worse .deb package system over Flatpaks and still got no proper disaster recovery like OpenSuse does (something that should be an imperative especially for "beginner" distros). Or as another example, Gnome devs acticely decided against overhauling their extension system in favour of more stable solutions that'd allow extensions to gracefully crash instead of crashing your whole desktop. No, apparently monkey-patching is totally fine because (I assume) radical developer freedom is better than stability for millions of people. I'm so fed up with people who'll then proceed to defend what they rightfully love and tell me it was easy to get out of that! People just gotta learn to use the CLI, lol! 🫠 That's what I criticize.

    Oh yeah, I see what you mean better, I think there is a good trend nowadays though, for example what do you say is missing from openSUSE to make it tick all boxes for you?

    You asked him not me but the biggest issue (for me, that I lived) with openSuSE is that it's not as... smooth of an experience (?), I definitely would say fedora has better polish compared to openSuSE

    Same experience here, at least that was the case for me a couple years ago

    (Btw, OMG another omega, hello brotha)
