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!

    Seems unfortunate that there's no "pre-built ready to use with Linux pre-installed" option starting at ~$1499.

    A "Ubuntu LTS" option would be great here, yeah. It'd be next to impossible to support every distro and I get the feeling linux users who have distro preferences are also the type who would prefer to do it themselves.

    Source: Me I guess. I'd rather setup Fedora myself

    That's good for workplaces at least. Everywhere I've worked, Ubuntu LTS is the standard with everything else being "good luck, just don't let it get in the way of work"

    Those are the exact words my first boss used when on my first day, I asked if I could use linux mint instead haha. That's pretty spot on.

    For good reason too, it has waaaay more support for your basic workplace apps than anything else (not that other things don't but it's easier to find a .deb than a .rpm)

    The slightly above average users wouldn’t accept it either way. “What is this ugly Ubuntu? I want my gentoo minimalist install with awesomewm” etc

    system76 makes great desktops

    Damn, that's a large price difference. $300 for spyware, wow.

    [–] kilgore_trout@feddit.it 1 points 8 months ago

    The price gap mostly covers assembly.
