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!

    Tried Debian stable, kept not being able to get stuff to work because of the packages always being too old. Not advocating for Ubuntu either, but Debian? For a desktop? GTFO! I'd sooner start using emacs instead of vim.

    So many things these days are flatpaks and app images. So it almost doesn’t matter.

    I’m don’t know your situation but I’m sure there are reasons someone might not be able to use Debian desktop.

    A somewhat anecdotal comment here, but I've using Debian stable as a daily driver for years, both at work and at home. Haven't had any issues yet. It's so stable it's almost boring. 😀 However, this is fine since I can focus on getting stuff done instead of messing about with the distro.

    isn't ubuntu based on debian stable and so have even older packages?

    Ubuntu has its own repos independent from Debians
