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.

    Ugh this is me rn. Spent like 30 minutes trying to figure out how to get NixOS to request a new DHCP lease. Reconnecting to the network? Nope, same IP. dhclient? Nope, not on NixOS. systemd-networkd? Keeps throwing some weird error. The solution? Just reboot the damn computer.

    Month 5: Sound not working again because you read about Pipewire on the Arch wiki

    Well, it maybe just because he's using Fedora :).

    Do not speak ill of my child. My dnf updates will finish when they are good and ready.

    However, I am side-eyeing RedHat right now. I don't understand the burden they have to provide support for the distro given the downstream "free" distros, but attempting to kill them off is kinda overkill imo.

    Is one lesson not to use Linux on Apple hardware?

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

    Oh no! I'm on a Rog Zephyrus!

    That being said, my M1 Mac is kinda a paper weight until Asahi Linux gets further along. For now it's my back-up device as I get more familiar with Linux! The hardware was nice, but I've certainly appreciated being able to play games!

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    that's kind of ironic these days. 10 years ago it was more likely to be able to play on mac than Linux, since games with Linux ports likely also had mac ports. but then you have games like league of legends that have a native mac version but not Linux.

    oh how times have changed.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

    Oh for sure! It's strange assuming my Linux device "just works" when it comes to games. Where as getting Diablo4 running on my ARM macbook was a really involved task. Personally, I'd like Apple to be more inviting and open to developers using different Graphics APIs so I could play games on the device, but that's kinda like asking a dog to speak.

    Reminds me of when I installed Arch for the first time. I installed Xorg, a login manager, and KDE, and could not for the life of me get them to start. So I figured I'd just restart and see what would happen. Suddenly I had KDE running perfectly!

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

    probably just had to restart the systemd units or something
