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!

    I just want the Manjaro Arm to not fizzle the gui's and run Firefox at speeds faster than 1980s era internet...

    Or any desktop distro, even gnome or ubuntu

    I recently dipped my toe into Linux with a raspberry pi and couldn't figure out why Firefox was so laggy. I thought maybe I did something wrong.

    Well it's refreshing to see I'm not the only one

    You need a machine with a functional GPU

    Try it in a vm if you don't want to install it on bare metal (that isn't a raspberry pi)

    You can also find cheap ass second hand laptops on ebay for similar prices to pis but should have much better performance, especially if you're willing to do some upgrades like installing a cheap ssd instead of the hdd.
