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, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, 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.

    Why wouldn't you want the overview at startup?

    Because there is nothing to overwiew yet, obviously.

    It provides easy access to search. I understand now though why you wouldn't want it to open automatically (if you have startup programs you want to see instead).

    actually, i just want to click one of my pinned panel favorites, but yeah, no need for search basically.

    In my case because I have my PC connected to the TV and Steam starting automatically in big screen mode. But according to the devs I'm doing it wrong and should get used to it because it's the better experience when I can go and grab my keyboard to start typing the name of the program I want to start.

    Because you already set firefox to autostart
