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.

    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 had a brief expedition into game development recently and ended up using Unreal Engine, I eventually gave up on Unreal -- but I do plan on checking out Godot. Although, I eventually go home sick for Linux (my computer isn't powerful enough to run a Windows VM with a game engine; please spare me), and ended up wanting a "it just works™" setup. So, logically, I try Fedora. Although, the installer just wouldn't boot, not on a USB, not on Ventoy, nothing. Just a cold dark screen with a solid underline cursor. I also tried OpenSUSE at one point, but there's some bad blood between me and that distro so I think I gave up at the installer. Anyway, I ended up installing Arch Linux, and would you look at that, the installer launches!

    TL;DR: Arch Linux might take more time to get setup to your liking, but once you get it there, it it just works™.

    PS: I have very much non-free hardware, this could be part of it -- and it made installing Artix Linux with hardware encryption very difficult that one time. :/

    Edit: PPS: I'm not trying to say "don't use Fedora or OpenSUSE," use what you want. This is my experience.
