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!

    I use Debian with the Linux-libre kernel and OpenRC, relatively the same experience but without the AUR.

    Debian unstable for all 11 of us crazy fuckers out there.

    Tbh, I haven't experienced too many issues other then modifying a couple prgrams to be compatible with OpenRC. On my main desktop I use Debian 12 and Systemd with my 2080 SUPER and haven't encountered any issues.

    Although, when I tried to install the open kernel version of the NVIDIA driver, my system didn't like it, so I ended up installing the full proprietary driver and it works well. Will be switching to AMD once I need to buy another graphics card.

    (I use Gnome as my DE with two 1440p 144hz monitors)

    Wait, you use Unstable? My favorite DM still does, but basically noone is both tech savvy enough, and crazy enough to use Unstable Debian. That's just a Sisyphean task.

    The guys that run Unstable Debian end up creating bug reports like this:
