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!

    Context: LaTeX is a typesetting system. When compiling a document, a lot of really in-depth debugging information is printed, which can be borderline incomprehensible to anyone but LaTeX experts. It can also be a visual hindrance when looking for important information like errors.

    Compiler: Could not find "tikz.sty"

    Me: So you want me to install the package called "tikz"?

    Compiler: no, there's no package called tikz. I need the file called "tikz.sty"

    Me: Okay then, so which package provides the "tikz.sty" file?

    Compiler: fuck if I know, go google it or something ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Switched to typst a few months ago, enjoying it much more than LaTeX so far. Really excited to see how it will grow in the future

    Yeees, I forgot all about the non-existent module system.

    – Professor: Here’s the template for your thesis.

    – There are, like, 50 lines of macro imports here. Which modules does this need?

    – Fuck if I know. You want my installation? It’s only 50GB.

    Just let me use the university wide template everyone uses instead of having a dedicated template for your department that looks like shit, uses a shitty ass font, and integrates packages I despise. god fucking dammit
