2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • 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.
  • 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, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 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.

    Mint was super easy. I just had to scratch my head for two days trying to figure out why the keyboard didn't work after coming out of suspend. Had something to do with it being in a USB 3.0 port. Once I plugged it into a 2.0-port it worked.

    All these threads make me want to take the leap to Linux. My work laptop runs on Mint, but as for my home pc.. guess I'll still have to wait for more Proton development/compatibility. Last time I checked, part of the games I want to play soon (Remnant 2, Supervive, Legion TD 2, Morimens, Sengoku Dynasty, Ravenswatch and a few others) seem to require a little more experimentation than I'd like.

    Don't get me wrong, as a modder of obscure Chinese games and at work, I'm all for experimenting. But for the 1h per day I can play, I'll wait until I'm quite sure I won't spend it tinkering around to get my current games to work.

    But I sure hope it will be sooner than later!

    I installed windows 11. It was a shit show. So many updates with a 6gb iso. Took forever.

    This is 100% true, but the chart inverts when you have a problem you're trying to fix.

    LTSC is pretty easy to install. But it's still Windows.

    The debate has never been so intense! It might not be the Year of the Linux Desktop, but that's certainly a great one

    Windows 10 is easy to install... If everything goes well. And 2 out of 3 times in my experience, it doesn't.

    I suppose its all relative, but I didn't find debloated windows to be much worse than anything else. I used microwin though, is that a different experience?

    [–] JigglySackles@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

    Lol it's not that hard. It's just a matter of what you are used to.

    Arch is probably easier to install than Debian nowadays.
