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 members of the community for any reason.
  • 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, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    • ย 

    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 fork-bomb your computer.

    I've used mingw in the past, the exe usually is 10x the size and wants the entire binary of any library used as well and first requires you to download the source windows version of the lib and link it. Meaning a small SDL2 project on Linux was I think 100kib while on windows it was 1mib + 2.5 mib

    If you have WSL set up run

    strip your.exe

    It often reduces the size a fair bit

    Doesn't it work in Linux normally?

    Oh sure, just figured this was all done under windows.

    Nope I used a GitHub codespace since I didn't have a C compiler on the windows installation I was stuck with.
