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, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Okay I’m a big supporter of Linux but this is misinformation.

    Windows 11 LTSC install was the easiest install I’ve ever done, even easier than mint (or as easy).

    The image I used even asked me the username when I was creating the bootable usb so I would save some time.

    It also let me opt out of data collection and the rest of the bloatware.

    Came with office and it was pre activated.

    Now, if only that’s what Microsoft offered their mainstream consumer…

    Edit: I don’t understand the downvotes. My last sentence does point out that Microsoft doesnt intentionally make it easier but imo we shouldn’t circle jerk by just claiming things that can easily be false.

    With archinstall script you can install Arch in less than 1 minutes (not counting copying system files)

    Why do all my homies use Linux Mint while I use Ubuntu?

    [–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 month ago (6 children)

    Because you're wrong?

    Personally I don't like snaps, is the main thing.

    If you are good with a slightly more complicated install process and don't need access to Windows tools (like Outlook, Teams, Word, PowerPoint, etc), you can run Linux on bare metal to access the full potential of your hardware without any overhead from virtualization or emulation.

    Fedora takes 0 brain power to install.

    Kubuntu is also super easy.

    Stupid list leaves off the most popular linux install and puts that fringe one in.

    I call bullshit. It only took me 3 hours to compile and install gentoo on my latest build and get proper desktop environment working. Granted I'm still tweaking the config files 4 years later, but it's perfect!

    The windows one seems exaggerated until you try to set it up with a regular local account.

    Setting up a scratch install VM is such a pain.

    Where’s Arch if you don’t RTFM? (I mean we’ve got 2 windows install modes there… only fair)

    Hobbyist here, in my opinion reading the manual or the wiki is easy, understanding it quickly is not. You can obvioulsy follow the instructions blindly and still succeed.

    For the most part is very comprehensive but sometimes you are left alone to connect the dots which is very daunting when instructions get technical and you do not understand them.

    In the end it felt like one of those half semester courses Universities try to cram in.
