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'm a plasma user and I would also prefer a fullscreen start menu. Ideally a fullscreen krunner with all its amazing bells and whistles.

    We each have to make the compromise that suits us best. I doubt most people think one desktop or another is perfect.

    You can change out the Windows-style start menu on Plasma for the "Application Launcher" button which will be a fullscreen app launcher like in GNOME. Or are you wanting something different?

    I also prefer a larger app launcher. Like why should it be small, how is that actually better for usability? Why have it cramped in the bottom left, what's that all about?

    It seems to me that people do it that way because that's how they're used to it ever since Win95. Not because it's actually better. But idk.
