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 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. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • 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 figuresWe 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.
    • Β 

    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.

    @Klaymore
    Two Questions:
    * Why is it needed to set up resolutions If you work with screens in these Modern days. There should only be zooming?
    * I have two screens one HD and one 4K. Why could I not set both screens as same physical high or same width?

    For anyone else wondering, this is a X11 vs Wayland meme - i.e. desktop window managers. Yeah.

    [–] turbowafflz@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    Neither of them are window managers, they are windowing systems. A window manager is the part that actually lets you move around windows and draws the borders and stuff, like kwin, mutter, xfwm, i3, etc

    As I typed my comment, I realised someone would correct me with hyperspecific linux terminology. But I support your correction good sir.

    does Wayland even have a built in DWM? Because both are session manager.

    [–] glibg10b@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

    No, Wayland is just a protocol, and the things that implement it are compositors, not WMs

    Also, there's no such thing as a DWM, except for the WM called dwm

    Well yes, the rest of the world does have better paper. 21Γ—29.7, the only ratio to conserve itself when halving the sheet

    [–] Tangent5280@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)

    Wait, is that true? Is there something special about that ratio in particular that lets it conserve ratio when dividing?

    [–] cygnus@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

    Yes it's true. It's the square root of 2, which is why it works.
