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!

    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.

    Not that guy but phrases like "basic functionality" are just hard to pin down. What you need for your workflow and can't live without is probably irrelevant fluff to a whole other class of folks.

    I haven't run into anything I need a third-party extension for yet, so I guess it works for some of us, although admittedly I do very few things on that machine so I could easily be missing something vital for most people.

    GNOME works the best when not used. Got it.

    That was pretty effing funny.

    How much do you use your OS, though? I'd characterize it more as it works best by staying out of the way.

    I turn the computer on, load a game or an occasional productive application, and I don't think about it any more than that. My only real interaction with it beyond picking some initial settings is super+search for the thing I actually want to interact with.

    I am using it for work (programming) and for games. Usually about 12 hours daily, except weekends.

    I liked GNOME shell until they managed to kill systray extensions for good. I didn't want to fight it no more so I left.

    Fair enough. I don't know what those are, so I guess I can't miss them.
