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!

    Me being an arch using vegan with a man-bun makes this feel like a personal attack.

    But once I get my new arch setup working I'll install gimp on it and create a meme making fun of you!

    And you’ll finally get your sound working on your new laptop after weeks of messing with pulse audio and realizing you just needed to install sof-firmware but didn’t scroll far enough in the wiki to see that, but now your pulse audio config is so messed up it’s just easier to reinstall Arch again

    Installing sound on Arch is really easy:

    1. Install ALSA
    2. Install Pulse
    3. Spend half an hour trying to get the sound test to work with various parameters
    4. Realize the default sink is set to USB audio and you don't have a USB audio device
    5. Google how to change the default sink
    6. Change the default sink

    Check the arch wiki first if installing Gimp is going to bork your system.
