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!

    For C++/C I used to agree, but now with WSL it's easy.

    My problems come with Java (versioning is a pain), JavaScript, Node, etc

    C/C++ is probably the second easiest after C#

    Node really? nvm makes it very easy, or using choco

    Despite trying at least 6 times, I’ve never been able to successfully start a node project on windows. No such problems on Linux or Mac.

    I tend to do my dev work at home with an Ubuntu server VM and ssh into it from my windows desktop now. Find that it’s the best of both worlds.

    Huh fair, for me that's cmake projects on Windows.

    That's just WSL 💀

    WSL wasn’t a thing when I started with that, and it still doesn’t do everything I want it to, so I much prefer to not use WSL at all and instead manually manage the VM.

    There’s nothing wrong with the WSL approach, it’s just not one I like

    Ah yes, I love WSL deciding to consume 12 of my 16gb of memory

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

    That's a fair complaint
