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.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Yea, I see. I use xmonad tailored to my needs tho, so that is why I want to use mu owb WM.

    You're absolutely not the target audience for the wm. But... you still might want to be familiar with it, because it could totally be your foot in the door to set someone down that path. The cost of adopting pop's workflow is substantially smaller than creating your own from scratch, but it's intuitive enough to get someone to at least understand why it might evolve to something like your setup.

    These days I just don't have enough time, and i've seen enough trends come and go that i'm happy with most of the pop defaults, and it's mostly just dressing for terminal windows anyway. There are totally better options out there, I just don't have the time to invest in one.

    And anyway, most Debian and Ubuntu documentation is spot on for pop, which is a big advantage for anyone who is familiar with them or doesn't have the time or desire to solve their own problems.
