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!

    Not in my experience... and apparently a lot of people that dual boot 🀷.

    My main boot partitions are far from the 2TB threshold of MBR, I'm not that rich.

    Yeah cause that's the only benefit πŸ™„

    I can't see any other really 🀷.

    Never wanted more than three partitions?

    [–] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

    Actually, it's 4... and on one drive 🀨? No. I've always used a max of 2 on a drive.

    With a swap partition and a split home directory, suddenly you don’t have enough partitions to dual boot

    Yes you do, you just use subvolumes.
