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 tried setting up two different distros

    Would you mind telling what were the two distros you were trying to setup just for reference?

    I installed Distro A, and Distro B, and you're about to reply:

    "Oh, well there's your problem! A and B aren't great for beginners (even though you read they were from someone else). I'd strongly recommend, C, D, E, or F."

    Whether it's installing a new distro off new recommendations or spending time tinkering to get one of them working right, it's still the same annoyance, and it's unlikely to change. That said, if you have read that and will restrain from jabbing back about it or are just genuinely curious:

    DistrosLinux Mint 21, then Linux Mint 22, then Bazzite

    Thank you for the full disclosure, I think it adds weight to your post and no don't worry I wasn't going to argue with you about your distro choices, not at all.

    I'm a very average Joe which also when into heaps of trouble when I tried to setup a Linux distro (mainly tried Pop_OS and Fedora KDE) so I feel the same as you 👌
