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!

    it doesn't matter which one is better, it's about compatibily, and there's no way to install .debs on, like, rpm based distros without getting completely broken uninstallable packages

    Distrobox is the way. Running Fedora and I have debian and arch boxes (with their own home dir) installed. Graphical applications work without any fuss and I have yet to run into an issue.

    Yes, that is why flatpak is a nice system

    I use Arch now but when I used Linux Mint, I used a rpm to deb converter sometimes, i don't know how, it always worked
