Community rules (click to expand)

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. 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
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • 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.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
    •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    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.

    Yeah, distro variety is a block for adoption, but when you do adopt Linux, you understand why they're there.

    Good thing community starts to center on a few distros for beginners, particularly Linux Mint + 1 or 2 more. (I'm a Manjaro adept, but ready to bury the hatchet to welcome newbies, and always do recommend Mint - it is good too)

    New Mint user here, it's dope and I love it. Windows soon to be VM.

    Congrats! One more person opened their eyes to freedom!

    When you come to Linux, you never want back.

    I've been experiencing Windows' degredation since 98/XP, it's been an extremely smooth transition from Windows 10 to Linux Mint.

    Still working out the kinks with my game library but apart from new user errors it's worked flawlessly (unlike Win10).

    Thank you Lemmings for showing me to the light!

    Edit/TLDR: it's kinda like windows, but functional and user control is king.

    [–] Sanyanov@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    That's the best TLDR you could give at the end.

    Generally UI and feeling are "Windows, but without BS"

    [–] CaptKoala@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

    100% on the TLDR there, I'll edit as such, that comment is open source ;)

    I've been running Ubuntu on a separate machine for a little while now, and it works great, just not a good fit for me.

    I'm happy to say within 2 weeks of my dual boot I'm already on mint 90% of the time. It just fucking works. (Without waking me up at 2-4am sending the fans to mach 7 for a damn windows update).
