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.
  • ย 

    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.

    I've also got the Linux Basics for Hackers book but it's at home while I'm on vacation.

    I'm just really happy rn yall :) this install took some work, SecureBoot kept getting in the way and I'm not the most savvy person so there was a lot of Googling and trial and error in the way of getting here.

    you most certainly are that savvy of a person

    Hey everyone that gets over that hurdle implies that its doable and that it might be getting easier.

    Remember that use to be just the first hurdle of many. It sounds like kobold is enjoying the desktop already and there use to be another 7 or 8 major hurdles. Audio, video, x11, network, Bluetooth, usb.

    Seems like all those were just breezed on past!

    Yeah honestly once I got past my BIOS problems everything else has been a breeze. Driver install and updates all went flawlessly. I played around with Linux a tiny bit in decades past (usually just to fix something and get back to Windows), so I was a little concerned about it at first, but, as they say... shit just works ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ
