Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html

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.

5. 🇬🇧 Language/язык/Sprache

This is primarily an English-speaking community. 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇺🇸

Comments written in other languages are allowed.

The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.

Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.

6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures

We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.

Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.

We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.

Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.

Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

Mine was when they have windows 8 out for free for a limited time. Then I wasn't able to go back to 7 somehow. Was already into linux by then. That just made me commit 100%. Gamer, CAD user, but still haven't looked back.

lol @ all these arch/Ubuntu/mint users. been using debian for years.

[–] Petter1@lemm.ee 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

😅LoL, because you feel superior?

Not very sympathetic…

[–] Infomatics90@lemmy.ca 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I like turtles.

[–] Petter1@lemm.ee 2 points 7 months ago

That is more sympathetic.

Weird everyone suggests Mint, when it's way less user friendly then KDE Fedora. I mean, I guess on old hardware Mint is good, but anything newer (like the last 4-5 years) Fedora is pretty much set and forget.

Same with gaming, Bazzite is a WHOLE lot better than Mint.

what are the opinions on Bazzite, Garuda, Trisquel? are these ideal for those coming from windows?

[–] deanne@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

the first two can be, but i don't recommend trisquel to those coming from windows

[–] kekmacska@lemmy.zip 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

is it hard? or why?

[–] deanne@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

it's not hard, but it only specifically consists of free software. that can be confusing and some hardware won't work

[–] kekmacska@lemmy.zip 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

some hardware

You mean nvidia stuff or could be others? there are open-source alternatives for everything that can be considered general use

[–] deanne@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago (2 children)

including, but not limited to nvidia. network cards might be another issue. yes i know that there are open source alternatives and i most definitely choose foss where i can but people that just came from windows aren't likely to care.

Bazzite is probably fine

[–] LANIK2000@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

I finally switched when I got truly familiar with the terminal in collage and then I happened to get a hand down pc to play around with. Installed Linux on it, and it surprisingly quickly became my main computer, especially once I got it a proper graphics card.
