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.

    I am debating mint vs arch. It's been a minute since I fucked around with arch. Dunno if I want to "get into it" with arch or just do a plug'n play distro and take it from there.

    I need to gtfo before Win 11 comes crashing down on my life.

    I highly suggest Mint. Fucking around in Arch is actually nice but mint is more "windows like". You should experiment with Arch once you get more comfortable with Linux in general, or you like reading documentations a lot. You can dual boot a linux setup(on maybe a 50-100GB partition?) first to check if you like it or not.

    If you do plan to get mint then get Mint Debian edition(LMDE 6 "Faye"). Better to be free from any corporate influence(Canonical, IBM etc).
