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.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    I'm using OpenSUSE Tumbleweed now (btw).

    Well, prepare for some even bigger updates. When a new libc or gcc or similar such version comes out, they like to recompile everything.
    Sometimes you get 4000+ package updates, just from one day to the next.

    They do that, though, because it increases compatibility, and you get automatic snapshots, too, so it's kind of less daunting than 250+ package updates on Debian et al.

    I haven't personally had those huge updates ever break on Tumbleweed. The one thing that apparently caused stuff to break was the recent KDE 6 update, but I've heard so and did it with Discover's offline update and it all went fine.
