  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.

  • 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.

    I have a few wifi adapters from china who only work properly under Linux lmfao

    Did Microsoft actually infiltrate Lemmy or something? I'm hearing of issues about Linux that haven't existed since the very first days of desktop Linux

    I still have wifi woes on my old tablet. Works fine for a few minutes, then dies. Works fine in Windows. I'm about to reinstall on it. Maybe the next distro I try will work?

    This is probably some sort of firmware power management bug that the windows driver is working around. Try and see if you can find any documentation on it

    The wifi chipset on my new MSI mobo isn't supported on current LTS version of Mint - I had to install a more recent kernel, so there are still issues with newer hardware

    Yeah, the Chinese stuff seems to work better under Linux... for some reason 😂. I one based on a Realtek chip (I think 🤔) and I couldn't get passed a few hundred KB in Windows. Linux fried that baby, it did 1.5MB 😂.
