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!

    Exactly.

    When I was younger, tinkering around was a hobby in itself. But today I actually used my machine and I want it to work without hassle. I don't want to think about swap partition sizes, modeset kernel parameters and that kind of stuff. I want a reliable tool.

    That's why so many devs use MacBooks. They're essentially Unix machines with a proper GUI and mostly work absolutely flawlessly.

    I've been using MacBooks for over ten years now and had exactly one crash: when the drive was failing so hard, it couldn't even spin up anymore.

    This is exactly me. For a server it’s Linux but for everyday use/work a MacBook Pro is great. It just works. It’s great as you can fire up the command line to manage Linux servers easily. That’s how I admin my Lemmy Ansible install.

    For gaming I use Windows. It’s all about the best tool for the job.
