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.

    I use Arch btw

    No you don't. If you use any pre-packaged version of Arch, it's not Arch. If you use a GUI installer, it's not Arch. If you've followed a YouTube tutorial, it's not Arch. If you've opened up this support request, but did not update your system in the last 37 seconds, it's not Arch.

    Honestly the installation guide is super easy to follow and well on the shorter side. Installing arch isn’t the arduous test of one’s linux knowledge some make it out to be

    Your reply didn't include the last timestamp you've updated your Arch install.

    Output of pacman -Syu

    :: Synchronizing package databases... core is up to date extra is up to date multilib is up to date :: Starting full system upgrade... there is nothing to do

    Hope this helps!

    Is the Arch community that bad? I followed the wiki to install it on my Surface Go 2 with secureboot enabled. Is it Arch then? I did update my system in the last 37 seconds, so it's definitely Arch then? Right?

    User is a FOOL. Query resolved.

    If it's arch, it's arch xD

    Arch users: I updated grub and my computer won't boot. Wtf?!

    Other distros: thank you for finding the bug on latest version of grub. It's fixed now so our users don't have to experience it.

    In case anyone else was wondering, I use Arch.

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

    So do I, but that dosen't mean we aren't enemies.
