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!

    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 fork-bomb your computer.

    Not sure about your hardware, but try to look up if it requires a special kernel, like the RPi 5 (which only runs on raspbian because they ship that kernel)

    The manufacturer ships several tools but a lot of the necessary files are shared from Google Drive, and each time I try to download one it says “download limit exceeded.” My goal is to build something more vanilla — I can see that the hardware is supported in the mainline kernel so I’m doing this with tons of trial and error (which I don’t mind).

    I’m doing everything in a Dockerfile so once I’m there the goal is to clean it up and push it to GitHub.
