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.
  • ย

    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.

    Me struggling with Realtek on Linux ๐Ÿค One of my partners struggling with Nvidia on Linux

    At least I managed to get a Linux-compatbile wifi USB later on, but it was pricey to import it and it's still quite slow :/

    When I had a Nvidia card in my computer years ago i had to use an Nvidia ppa for drivers. It was the only way I could get it to work.

    Nvidia PPA help

    New distros have all this built in. Just use endeavouros or something if u really want the good stuff

    [โ€“] Still@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    well endoevouros is just arch and the nvidia-dkms package just works for currently supported cards (I think 9 series and newer)

    Endeavouros worked out of the box though, so for new users I'd recommend it over arch. It even worked with my Nvidia prime gpu

    I put my comment there meaning like any arch based distro should just work
